    I have 5 watches, one of them is really quite valuable - the last time
    I wore any of them was about 5 years ago.

    My old Seiko seems to manage about four or five years per battery. Of
    course, it's a watch, not a telephone.

    That is a bit sad. Have you got more money than you know what to do
    with?

    Watches? There's only one maker/brand at the top of the heap

    http://www.danielslondon.com/

    Sorry but a quick google did not throw up any of his watches
    that are actually on the market.
    I think you'll get the idea. I wonder if there's anyone here
    who could afford one.

    Dentist Guest

    I know one person who lurks here who would happily pay top money for a
    Daniels watch. The problem is prising one loose from the collectors.

    I was bought the non-radio Skyhawk for my 5th wedding anniversary.
    Lovely watch, but the strap has broken (IIRC) 4 times so far.

    I have a Tag now.

    you poor miserable time slaves[/QUOTE]

    Time slave? Not with my watch. I'm lucky if I get the hour right, never
    mind the minute. If I want to know the time I look at the PC.

    Watch ownership has very little to do with time.

    For you.

    You may be surprised to learn that there are many people for whom
    telling the time is the _only_ reason to own a watch. Picking one that
    looks good & feels good, and perhaps projects a cetain image is part
    of the selection process, but not the primary criterion, which, for me
    and I'm sure many others, remains simply how easy it is to tell the
    time with, followed closely by its accuracy and reliability.

    Wot 'e said. Although a marketing bod will tell you that watches are
    jewellery.
