Re: Watches
I have a few watch sites in my bookmarks but TBH they all ask top dollar for stuff.
Fleabay is teh most economical way to get into these things. |

Re: Watches
Never could wear a wind up watch as a kid, they used to stop on me within about 10-15 mins, put it down to static which I always seem to hold a lot of.
Best invention ever for me was when the LED watches were brought out, remember them? where you had to press the button on the side to show the red display. Have 2 old watches here, prob not worth a lot but keep them as they are family pieces |

Re: Watches
I find not wearing a watch has it's advantage, there she is a watch on a pendant necklace, excuse me I say, can I see what time it is?
5 minutes later due to failing eyesight I still don't know the time but Aaaah the memory of my face in those luxurious pillows it had been resting between!
