And how much will one of them set me back?
Wot?  shrugs:

Whats this thread about? One o' them kinetic thingies. Or is it a case of 'if I need to ask then I cant afford it'?
Nooo....

About £400...

What did your last slave die of?  whistle:

Got shot by police while trying to steal a watch.  noooo:
Nah, that was Snoopy stealing his Rolex Oyster from a dead Nazis arm during the war prolly...  whistle:

PS If Landlady turns up cough a lot and change the subject, okay?  redface:

Nah >>>> He was a member of 2nd Battalion Parachute Regiment and a very bad gambler. Needed the money quick to save his face from being rearranged. We were flying them back to UK and he was trying to flog the watch ... I gave him £50 for it ... never seen a man so grateful. When Mrs S #1 was preggo and wanted pram, nappies and all the etcs I flogged it to a second hand dealer in Soho for £200.
I bet in reality the driver rocked the ‘plane about a bit and you swapped ‘parachutes’* for the squaddie’s watches, wallets, etc.  noooo:




* rolled-up blankets in 'B4' packs...

I wear a gold wrist watch of no particular "brand" that my Daughter (eldest) gave me for my 50th birthday. Keeps good time, new battery every three years ... it is all I need, but I do still regret that Oyster.

This is virtually the same as it was all thos years ago
http://www.rolex.com/en/index.jsp#/en/xml/collection/rolex-gallery/submariner/specification|model=M16610-0007
Mine was like the one shown if you click on 3 ... Stainless Steel. Bloody awful site to load though so take my word for it.
They fetch about £8k now second hand ( Based on an 18 years old one found on dealer's site)

You've missed the all important questions though.

1. How much did the watches cost?
2. How much did you tell LL they cost?
