    Birthday in February Alan,
    Be looking to pick one up there or shortly thereafter.

    Been a wee bit spendy this month with an impulse buy - a private plate for the Alfa!
    Letting go and relaxing

    I wear my Squale Atmos 20 every day now; the rest of my watches have been consigned to the drawer.

    I just love this one too much.

    As a Cinephile Sir,
    That would be a wise purchase imo.

    Get the biggest, best quality one you can.

    Quality watch,
    possibly one the best of the Sub homages, but does its own thing too.

    Cheers. Squale have been around for donkeys, plus they built water resistant cases for many watch makers as well. The sub copyright was up years ago which is why so many use the style - it's exactly right for its purpose. The build quality of this piece is exceptional for the relatively low price tag (relative to Rolex that is).

    Samsung QE65QN80F 65" QLED TV

    Neat Motive SX1 speakers
    Van Damme 4.00mm tour grade speaker cable
    Audiocrast Spreizbar banana plugs

    And a darned sight better looking than the current vulgar-looking 'bling' Rolex watches.
