    The Tissot PRX is a lovely watch. Tissot watches are really well made. I have had a couple of old Seastars which I have cleaned up and sold for a decent profit. Both were just lying in boxes at car boot sales! One was a lovely thing which I almost kept for myself.

    I am in trouble again. I bought a Bremont u2 a week ago in an auction which turned up today. I funded it by selling watches I traded but that doesnt seem to wash.

    I have been after a Bremont for a while and I have to say it is top quality. It looks tremendous and comes with a rubber and leather strap. The rubber is superb. A british watch that outstrips many Swiss watches. I would wear this before an Omega for example, loads cheaper too.

    I am looking at a zenith at the minute, which might go for peanuts, but could cost me marriage. Anyone got a spare room <doh>

    think the biggest surprise with someones first effort with a scope...is how feckin fast everything shoots across the sky.

    the moon is always worth a look, so much to see and you get a bit more time to focus.
