  1. I had moon boots when I was a kid!
     
  2. I mate/colleague has just bought a new Omega, I think a moon watch but I’m not sure. It was £15K:astonished: should’ve been £20K but as the shop in Worcester were behind on sales they knocked £5K off!
    £15K to wear on your wrist!
    I’d buy a multistrada instead

  3. Ive just ordered the cheaper £20 for every day use ;) lets see what the quality is like when it arrives in a fortnight

  4. The £20 watch had probably benefited from some photoshop, or even a genuine watch used for the pics? I will be interested to hear your report.

    Buying higher value items online that are not direct from manufacturers is always a gamble. The exception being Apple as my other devices prove or disprove whether they are Apple via connectivity.

    Anyhow give me a holler when the other one arrives!

  7. I have a sub for daily wear but I swap it for a G Shock when off-roading or playing cricket.

  8. It’s the same price at Timpson’s. I know the CEO employs ex-cons but I thought he was trying to reform them, rather than encouraging their thievery. Apparently they also pressure test the watch, but given that it’s only worth about £30, I’ll change the battery (cost 35p) myself and take the risk.

    That’s the watch, FWIW

  11. Just make sure you use the helium valve else you will get a poor reading .............
    Ive got a GMT and a Sub . I tried on a DSSD but it just sat so high on my arm every long sleeved item of clothing would catch too much.
    Just too chunky for me. But the blue to black is lush.

  18. I can’t remember what watch I used :laughing:

    But I do remember I always used a diaphragm mechanical depth gauge- and I still would. They can’t go wrong, unlike a computer…

    Yeah, I have fond (and very naughty) memories of those days too. :D
     
  19. i videod this, believe it or not was on the same dive, same tank, tank was empty when the whale turned up , hence just below surface
