    Oh lovely, I almost got that model, but really wanted a sub mariner type dive watch, but that's a nice retro look, like the offset crown and bezel, is it ceramic?

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Are the CW watches on the shopping channel? [emoji23]

    I'd avoid watches that are advertised on TV. If they pay to be in a James Bond film though they must be good.
    No it was on regular prime time TV. Prices seem to range from about £600 to about £2,000.

    From Wikipedia-

    Timex Group B.V., or Timex Group, is an American - Dutch holding company headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands and Middlebury, Connecticut.[citation needed] It is the corporate parent of several global watchmaking companies including Timex Group USA, Inc.,[1] TMX Philippines, Inc., and Timex Group India Ltd.

    Watches are made in the Philippines, Hong Kong, China, France, India and Switzerland.

    In my experience there are wide variations in the quality of pieces, I’ve just sent one back as quite frankly it was just a piece of plastic shite selling for over £100!

    The autos seem ok though.
