    No pics but I once told the wife I was getting another watch because I was bored waiting for another that was incoming. She slapped me quite hard.

    How many watches (above £20) have you bought since this slap and pair?

    (Wondering how effective a disincentive that slap was)

    I've dealt fatal injuries to two straps in the name of getting the buggers off my watch

    This, and I've scraped my fingertips to hell removing spring bars that didn't want to be removed.

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Managed to get both a bruise and a divot in my lower left shin trying to break the fall of one of my 6139's that suffered a spring bar failure. Fortunately there was no damage to the watch none of the blood got in. Mission accomplished.

    Broke off two fingernails trying to remove a stubborn spring bar once, otherwise save most of the potential injuries for my motorcycle rides.........
