I was standing at the bar last night wearing my Skyland Avenger when one of the regulars, who is an expert on everything, says, "Nice watch. It's quite chunky isn't it?" I said, "Yes. It's one of my favourites."
He said, "I collect watches. I must have over a hundred." He went on, "They're not all expensive. I normally buy one or two when I'm on holiday. I did buy an expensive one last year. Have you heard of Ingersoll?" I said I had.
He asked if he could have a closer look at my Skyland, so I took it off and handed it to him. He looked it all over and said "Oh, it's an Air Force watch." I asked him what he meant and he said "I can't see it properly with these glasses, but I can see the wings on the dial."
I said, "No, it's not. It's a Breitling." He replied, "Oh right, I haven't heard of them!"
