Re: one watch a day?

Work - different watch most days (includes "pocket watch Friday")
Swimming after work most days - Mako

Re: 'Forever Ireland' Personalised Chronograph...Dear Sweet

Dougal will learn to tell the time. :dielaughing:

True. Isn't Ibiza a British island in the Bailiwicks as well? :D

I'd blow the lot and a spare £850 on a VC Patrimoine Grande Taille.

Re: *Happiest* man in the world now

That is lovely, congratulations.

But I suspect the happiest man in the world lives in a tree-house in the Amazon rain forest and has never seen a watch.
