I hadnt seen them for a while,but now Asda & Smiths have the latest,a naval watch...Im just not sure I want French Seamen (for that is how it is advertised!!) on my wrist ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
The one I did get was nice but the strap was too tight for myfat powerfully built wrist
Just had a text from the ex wife saying she's just picked up this one for our son. A french naval watch sounds better than having French Seamen wrapped around your wrist.![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Can anyone comment on the Italian diver watch/Pam, is it good, bad or utter rubbish? ![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
Surprisingly good; I hadn't been able to find it anywhere until my son said he'd seen it at one of the local newsagents (who never seemed to stock it previously).![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
I'd be interested to see what they next release ....
Aussie (in post above) is issue 7, not on sale in newsagents/etc until Thurs 15th May.
Fortnightly on from there.
Issues 8 looks ok.
9 appeals to me.
The leather straps so far have been fine, the others bit naff.
You could easily spend the 20 quid on l/straps alone.

I took a punt on this and subscribed at the start as I would never have remembered to get down the newsagents at the right time. I had been looking at a couple of original military watches (the Russian one being one of them), to add to my collection (I already have a couple of Russian watches). I didn't expect much tbh but so far so good. I had one watch pack up in a day, called them and they posted another straight out so can't complain at that.
As much as I like a nice watch, I can't wear mine everyday as I would end up damaging them, so they spend most the time in the safe. These give me something a bit different to wear to work each day. When I'm not wearing my cheap, I don't give a s
t if I break it, Chinese automatic watch..... Which is now getting on, has never gone wrong and keeps perfect time.
I kind of like things that are a bit different, that you can't just pop to Bluewater and buy.
The collection so far -

God forbid, a cheap Chinese watch

The mag is ok. You can read it cover to cover in five mins. I wouldn't buy the mag if it was sold separately tbh. No adverts though which is nice these days.
Mag is the same format each fortnight. First a bit about the watch and who would have worn it. Then a few pages about a watch maker/company from beginning to modern day. Finally a bit about the workings of a movement
Last month I returned back from France to find a couple of disappointing watches on the doorstep - bit small for my taste but these two turned up yesterday.

Err, it's not, and the homage watch is a Panerai anyway!!
