....and another thing, the crown on a Navitimer doesn't screw in. Also it's normal to stop the chrono in normal use. The large seconds hand is the chrono second counter. The running seconds hand is the small one found at 9 o'clock on your watch. Park the large hand at 12 and synchronise your watch using the small hand. Very difficult to notice that your watch is a quartz at a distance if you do this.....it'll keep terrific time though!

Welcome mate! Stand by to get hooked!

V. I've contacted the lady in Estepona....as per your posting above....... "vendo relojes de se

I'm a big Navitimer fan, so good choice of watch! Yours is an obvious quartz movement , hence the one second ticks. If you would like to buy a mechanical Navi take alook at the offerings from the trusted dealers here. They will most probably offer you a SS strap with screws or the excellent deployant leather strap. Expect to pay around 240 -250 USD.....Ruby has some great examples and has a fantastic reputation around here. I'm going to give myself a Christmas present from Ruby....a white face Two Tone Navitimer on a brown leather strap. Good luck!

I'm sitting at my desk in Mijas right now!

I am a middle aged fella that got hooked onto rep collecting about a year ago. I find this and the other forums that I belong to quite amusing and informative. I however, refuse to take this hobby of ours too seriously. This whole thread clearly illustrates that there are people here that take the whole thing too seriously. Lighten up, let whoever post here, whenever and whatever (within the bounds of decency). Guess what? Some of these threads I ignore, it's not a difficult thing to do!

No I'm not from there but spent time in the area when I worked for Her Majesty! I posted my home higher up the thread! Andy.....I'm close though......it's down below Hannover right?

I wore a big old Jacobs on my wedding day.....kept people from looking at the bride!

Looks like Detmold, south west of Hannover?

Got it! that's Manchester Cathedral in the background, so it's Mancy the home of the greatest football club in Manchester....City!

no.......that might be Worcester!

Somewhere in the Black Country........Dudley?

Next time you are in Arroyo go and visit my mate, Terry at the Unicorn Bar....in the Gamonal......good beer and great Steak Pie and chips! I get a fix (English food) there once a month although I love my Mediterranean diet I crave Steak Pie and chips with gravy of course! This is where......you'll recognise the area I'm sure

Great view of good old Benal......Torrequebrada Casino in the distance and the heady high rises of Arroyo de la Miel.....I get that view every morning on the way to the office in Mijas.

Home right now............ Picasso's birthplace....................

Wam regads? Something wrong with your r's Ms. Barrett?

My God this is no place for Keats!

What time is it?

I think it was meant to be a joke. J O K E .....right?

I wonder what his watches look like. Perhaps the expert would care to show us.

Nothing finer than being in agreement with oneself.

Yes it is!

Can't understand why people post here by mistake, we all know that posting is not allowed here. Get you acts together people! ooops! Sorry.

Dear Father John, I walked down the busy footpath, knowing I was late for an important meeting. My eye fell upon one of those unfortunate, homeless vagabonds that are found in every city these days. Wearing what can only be described as rags, carrying every worldly possession in two plastic bags, my heart was touched by this person's condition. Some people turned to stare. Others quickly looked away as if the sight would somehow contaminate them. Recalling some long ago religious instruction to 'care for the sick, feed the hungry and clothe the naked,' I was moved by some powerful inner urge to reach out to this unfortunate person. Yes, where some people saw only rags, I saw a hidden beauty. A small voice inside my head called out, 'Reach out, reach out!' So I did.......... I won't be in church this Sunday!

fireman is polishing his fire engine outside the fire station when he notices a little girl next door in a little red cart with little ladders hung on the side and a garden hose tightly coiled in the middle. The little girl is wearing a fireman's helmet and has the cart tied to a dog and a cat. The fire-fighter walks over to take a closer look: "That's a lovely fire engine," he says admiringly. 'Thanks,' says the little girl. The fireman looks closer and notices the little girl has tied one of the cart's strings to the dog's collar and one to the cat's testicles. "Little colleague," says the fire-fighter, "I don't want to tell you how to run your fire engine, but if you were to tie that rope around the cat's collar, I think you could probably go a lot faster." The little girl pauses for a moment, looks at the wagon, at the dog and at the cat, then shyly looks into the fireman's eyes and says ''You're probably right, but then I wouldn't have a f**king siren, would I?''
