Re: How about a jokes page, I'll start!

A Submarine Sailor walks into a bar and takes a seat next to a very attractive woman. He gives her a quick glance then casually looks at his watch for a moment. The woman notices this and asks, "Is your date running late?" No," he replies, "I just got this state-of-the-art watch,...

Re: I need a camera!

For Press work I use a Nikon D3 and D3s, but for everyday stuff I'm use a Nikon P7800. Good camera that covers all the bases. OK no WiFi but invest in good cards - SanDisk are my choice - and you should have no snags. It includes full manual control as well as semi-automatic options, such as apertur...

With ref to the strap for the Omega Geneve I'm going to take a trip to Glasgow one Saturday and have a look at what is available in the Argyle Arcade. :D

Re: Edinburgh Watch Shops - Quick Help Needed!

Andy, there is an interesting point here. I have noticed that if I go watch browsing in (my usual) shorts and polo shirt I get the curled lip. If I happen to be wearing a Zenith or GP and they notice they become very accommodating. You would think that after all this time assistants would be on the...

Re: Bezel inserts

The red bezel on the black dial looks the dogs dodahs. Wouldn't say no to a Pepsi bezel either.

My collection of watches

My small collection of watches: Start with the Omega Geneve - its a gold version given to my Dad for long service with BOC dated 1976. Got her on a NATO strap just now as can't make up my mind what colour of leather strap I want her on - Black or Tan. http://thumbnails109.imagebam.com/33807/81ed9633...

Re: C600 MIA

Only had one problem with them and it was quite funny once they/I got it sorted. Had ordered a 20-ltr fuel can off fleeBay and it was marked as dispatched so I sat back and waited and waited. After a week I got in touch with the seller and he said you signed for it last week so a trip round the neig...

Re: Are you a clock watcher?

My neighbour suffers from a clock addiction - she has 8 or 9 large clocks in her kitchen all different styles but all large. Every room - including the bedrooms and bathroom - have at least one clock in them! Having said that I have five clocks in my "home office" one showing Crocketford t...

Re: SOTC - 1000 posts in!

Got a CWC G10 I was issued with in 1990 for a operation that I was involved in, wouldn't part with it for all the tea in China. OK it's been battered about a bit but stil keeps good time and reminds me of good -and bad- times. Managed to get my mitts on a Pulsar G10 - long hands - before I left in 2...

C60 TRIDENT-Navy-SUB-SKS ltd edition no1!

If you ever go for a new run count me in - Diesel Boats 1982-1996 - Opossum, Sealion, Oberon, Onyx, Opossum. DBF! Just a wee reminder to Submariners we serve on boats not subs - subs are what you get from a sandwich shop or off your oppo on a blank week ;-)

Re: what was and is your grail watch?

As a Royal Navy Submariner my 'grail' watch has to be a Rolex Submariner, my perfect one would be a 1982 one - the year I got my 'Dolphins'. There is a LE C60 with a set of 'Dolphins' on it so if I could get my mits on one of those that would keep me going for a wee while.

Hasn't worked that way with Omega. Watches are luxury goods at this level, TV's are consumer goods.
Business model for Omega is 110% different from CWs - Omega spend £millions on advertising, sponsorship of events etc: CW hardly spend on adverts, if at all, so all profits can be used on R&D.

Re: Strap

I had the feeling that was the case - I know where to get three-party straps but just feel it would be nice to have a CW one.
