Hey all,

Seem to be having a nightmare at the moment!

Last week, like an idiot, I overwound my 1960`s Baume and Mercier, so started wearing my Breitling of the same vintage, guess it needs a service, as it is keeping terrible time, and as such is at the moment defunct!

Skip to yesterday, after making myself late with "Breitling time" I went to grab my Aquapro Diving watch, has never let me down, worn it on all sorts of adventures over the yrs, guess what, the battery had died!

I only have these three watches in my modest collection, but then spotted a 1970`s Timex in my desk draw, vaguely remember the watch being amongst a box of odds and ends I bought from auction ten plus yrs ago!

Never worn it, or done anything with it.

Wound it up, it started ticking immediatly, and has kept perfect time for the last few days!

Timex, the way forward lol !

It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. smile Let's see it then.

Old Timex's are great value for money. I have a couple, but I have to admit they don't get worn much.
