Will you please stop posting these pornographic images on my thread?
No, because that's all the time except when I go swimming or on holiday. Do keep up at the back!st-rider wrote: Antediluvian, is that the time before dive watches required?

Re: Upcoming 10,000 post competition - PLEASE READ!
Ok, my wild guess is:
Total: 31
Manual: 20
This is serious business... Thanks for supporting Street Child and drawing my (and our) attention to what they're doing. My donation might be small, but if some of our members supported them, a substantial amount of money will be donated by the inmates.

Re: Upcoming 10,000 post competition - PLEASE READ!
20 posts to go, good people! Get in quick if you need to.
The prize, by the way is not a huge one but I think it is something that any WIS would find useful. I will offer a choice of two single watch travel cases. One is the well-known Oakley watch vault and the other is a straight zipped case. I will try to post a picture. The winner can choose.

watching you fail in your quest for a “one watch” has been great entertainment

I will get there by the normal expedient of posting complete rubbish in any thread that happens to interest me...looking at the active menu that could take a while, but thanks for the offer!
