Damn right

Auctioning your watch for charity is a great touch too - hopefully it can be done on this site as a sticky? Can run it past the mods when you're ready to go!

Was planning on doing it through the Royal Marines Association. Its the 350th year of the corps existence this year so was thinking of doing 350 tickets at £5 each. Need to speak to my man at the RMA first.

Certainly a logical way of doing it, but would opening it up to a wider audience, make for a higher return ?

Either way, great news on the outcome of the treatment. Been following your story on the "New Job on the Bench" thread so was hoping to hear good news.

Great news Eddie, must be a huge weight off your shoulders.

Like you'd not believe. Its been a bit of a slog to get where I am today but yesterday's news makes it worth it. And having the baby come in the next couple of days will finish the week off perfectly.

That's why I'm avoiding doing the same as I suspect the result will be the same as well

I'm sure by the end of the year I will have weakened sufficiently......

This arrived in the post today:



A Steinhart Apollon.

Not everyone's cuppa, I suspect, but I rather liked in photos and it's lived up to my expectation in the titantium and brass too.

Was a constricting tumour on the top corner of my ascending colon. It sat on top of my duodenum which meant I had to have 6 months of chemo first in order to make sure it wasn't attached. Good news was that it wasn't attached and it came out cleanly. fk cancer!

Now that you`ve said it, i can send you this http://www.onepiece.co.uk/en-gb/mens/onepiece2work infantile they may be, MASSIVELY comfortable to lounge around in DEFINITELY!

Details, man!

How does it wear? What are the lugs like? Is it as 'square' as the new Subs etc?

Looks lovely! I didn't get over to Dom this week to try his

Pre-owned? The brass has a bit of patina to it...

What they going for second hand? £400 odd new aren't they?

Always liked the grey strap on these. Big buggers though.

I'm alive guys, and quite possibly cancer free. Surgery went really well this morning and they did it all keyhole. Tumour came out cleanly with no complications snd there is no evidence of it spreading anywhere else. I shall sleep well tonight!

excellent news, must be a huge relief (understatement of the year award please!) for you and the family. fingers crossed for a speedy recovery.

fk cancer!

Amen to that !!

Been flitting in and out of here recently as have been busy, but just wanted to add my best wishes, particularly now that you've had some really good news !! Stay healthy, and keep posting threads about your latest creations or stuff on the bench

[ecain63]

Thanks folks. Had a nice restful day sat at home in the sun. No better place to be I think.

Keep your eyes peeled on here for a watch raffle. Might even go on tonight.

My first attempt at a photo of a 1952ish 852 calibre. I think that's what it is. I've scratched it and it's a bit dirty but does the job.

Another BR for the collection.
