Any Steel Sports in the Ad's there?

Wasn't looking. It was about 13 years ago and I was riding a bike. I'm sure they had Russian watches.

Love me a G Shock at the weekends. One of my favourites, a GW-5000, with after-market bull bars. This is the only G Shock I've every owned (there's been a lot over time) that I keep an OEM replacement strap and bezel for in storage.

Cracking bit of countertop alright, is it marble or a man made resin. Looks great

It's a 'time in Ireland' countertop not a 'you can have any time as long as it's Frankfurt time' countertop.

Funnily enough Wibbs, the most out of fashion item there is probably Tubs watch. It looks like something even women wouldn't wear these days.

Very fash in the 80's though. Popular men's "dress" watches hovered around the 35mm mark and bling was the thing. Gold or two tone, plated or no. Steel had always been the "cheap" option. Though fashions changed this was the case for most of the 20th century. Set against that were the larger and much more widespread digitals with loads of buttons and functions. The tool watches of their day. The young tended to prefer the latter and the former was seen more as older men's watches. Women's models were tiny, under 25mm for the most part, again like most of the 20th century.

Crockett wears a two-tone Rolex Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet, a Zenith El Primero-driven Ebel Sport Classic Chronograph in yellow gold and latterly an Ebel 1911 BTR Chronograph according to da internets

Rocking the Very High Precision, Quartz :eek::mad::D with extra Faraday cage going on. As you do.

About as 80's as Crocket and Tubbs.

Nothing mentioned in the instructions for it. I suppose I could remove the hour hand and put it back an hour.

I read somewhere that Sinn did that for someone in the UK free of charge. Mine was due Monday but is now saying Friday :mad:

Yes on both accounts.

It was giving me CET though so not too useful.

Does the radio time work on the Sinn clock? Is it battery powered?

Yes on both accounts.

Citizen CB0166-54H Eco-Drive perpetual calendar, Atomic-Timekeeping, 42mm case.

After a few failed attempts I got it to sync with the radio signal at about 8.15pm yesterday. Watching the date wheel slowly rotating to 15 was cool.
Re-sized the bracelet this morning. No micro adjust on clasp but two half links. Removed 2 full and 1 half link and it's fine but would have liked to have had the micro option.

Think it will be a Summer watch for me.
