    TGV's a good watch too.
    I do watch Teddy sometimes but find him a little ‘stiff’, haven’t really watched the other channel.

    I find Wristwatch Revival fascinating.

    I like that.

    My father had a couple of early digital watches he bought in the far east back in the late 1970s. I don't know what happened to them. Might see if they are still around.

    One of them you had to press a button for it to display the time.

    We referred to the red led ones as Kojak watches at school because he wore one, presumably he was one of the first seen sporting one on tv.

    My father was a big fan of 'Kojak' maybe that's why he bought one.
