A-list star required - Update and thanks
Discussion
So a great outcome from my request for an A-list star;
Jim Hamilton now wears number 050 in celebration of 50 international rugby caps for Scotland - sometimes though you just know when a watch is going to get broken!
Offshore Professional is the official timer for the 2014 Neptune races in Singapore, the worlds only yacht race to the equator. This might have something to do with the Neptune Regatta having a trident as its logo, but it does feel good to be selected over Rolex as a yachting event partner.
Now onto another request;
Number 051 is scheduled to go to a charity and since the angola orphanage 2 earlier watches went to has secured a good future for itself I’m looking around. Ideally it is one I can just send a watch to and be confident they’ll raffle or auction it for a decent amount. No selling it on ebay or pistonheads though as that would be annoying, and since these watches are not cheap to make I don’t want to see one raising less than a grand. It also needs to be something really worthwhile, UK or overseas, may be something a fellow pistonheader is passionate about. Suggestions and contact details please, and you can PM me if you like.

Glad it's working out for you. There has been a sort of semi link between PH and The Childrens Trust ( http://www.thechildrenstrust.org.uk The Children’s Trust is the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury. We work with children and young people from across the UK, both from our specialist centre in Tadworth, Surrey and in communities around the country. )
The old "dads day out" event - now called "The Supercar Event" ( [ url]http://www.thesupercarevent.com[/url]) is run by Petrolhead Nirvana to raise money for the trust so perhaps they could hold an auction for it on the 2014 event?

That is absolutely perfect, thanks Nurburgsingh I'm emailing them now.The old "dads day out" event - now called "The Supercar Event" ( [ url]http://www.thesupercarevent.com[/url]) is run by Petrolhead Nirvana to raise money for the trust so perhaps they could hold an auction for it on the 2014 event?

Lorne, how much are these watches? I couldn't see a price on your website but I quite like the look of it.
Hi Brabus, under the 'Field Engineer' section. I only make one model; the Field Engineer, renowned the world over for being perfectly suited to a life by a hotel rooftop bar, and waterproof enough to survive the odd stumble into the adjacent rooftop swimming pool!

I really, REALLY like that!!!
I might be in touch soon Lorne
cool, and having just heard back from the Children s Trust, I can happily report that if you don't fancy buying one then you'll be able to acquire number 051 by whichever means they think fit to dispose of it. Possibly the supercar event, or what ever else they think best I might be in touch soon Lorne

PM me if you need his email address
I have been meaning to post for ages about this watch.
Having seen one in the flesh I bought one for myself. I'll post some pics when I get the chance but it really is very good.
It is now my daily wearer - despite my reservations about the leather strap, the treatment really works and having been swimming/skiing/hot/cold it doesn't suffer from the usual leather strap issues.
I was a bit doubtful about the design of the dial until I saw it in the flesh - the way the light catches it makes it look different from varying angles but always very legible.
seems very well put together, and is spot on in terms of accuracy.
I am very impressed!

Do you sell them with the SS bracelet?
Once I stop funding my business in 4 weeks I might want a reward all the stress and this looks good.
The SS bracelet is currently being manufactured with delivery expected in a month or two. Until then anyone who buys a Field Engineer will get it on the composite strap, but will also get a free bracelet once I get them.Once I stop funding my business in 4 weeks I might want a reward all the stress and this looks good.
