    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.

    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.........

    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
