It’s a fairly recent invader - commercially inspired, to a large degree. It has overshadowed Guy Fawkes / Bonfire Night, unfortunately.

I’d seen that one and I like it. Interesting way that they make the speckled resin.

Ooh, that’s made me wince a little, considering the government in power at the time…

Well, I’m trained, but not to be on the receiving end…

You do have a detailed knowledge of British comedy…

How far back do you go? Peter Cook, Beyond The Fringe?

There’s a desk diver stand for my CWC. :)

Are you never too old for toys?

My sympathies - I know what all that entails. I was a bit needy myself when I came home from hospital after breaking my hip. Bed downstairs - and a few indignities I won’t go into…

I saw some of The Cleaner when it was on the BBC. It was original and nicely done. Not outstanding, but then the makers probably had quite modest ambitions.

That’s a handsome and stylish watch.

Congratulations. :-!

Very nice indeed. Another Baltic winner.

Devs was bold, and clever and stylish, but characterisation was a bit nominal or obvious. I didn’t much like the ending either. It was a bit perfunctory.

I liked Devs, but it stopped short of...

That’s fantastic. Concept designs can be too clever by half, but a tourbillon that looks like the complete antithesis of a tourbillon? That’s both simple and inspired.

I am. As expected, and if you imagine something like a test gauge, a bracelet does swing the needle into the ‘contemporary’ half of the dial, but that’s also the ‘smarter’ half of the dial. Swings...

Regarding the movement, I have read that it’s a Sellita. It might be modified, but I’m not sure that precise information is available.

One of my favourite G-Shocks. I had one for some time.

As an afterthought, I can’t imagine that the English brothers actually like the new watches.
