Got this one last April but have since discovered I prefer smaller watches and don't like straps
********WIS’ers In Blighty….UK********
Morning all..
Was just thinking…I do it occasionally, it hurts but I keep trying.
Our Down under brothers have their own general thread, in which they discuss watch stuff in their part of the WUS World, which seems to be well used And updated.
How about we Brits, also a minority group on here, have our own one as well?
What do you think? All stuff UK related…..
I’ll start….
Recently bought a 30th Anniversary Frogman, which I am loving

Anyone else get one? I know @Simon was looking, @sticky was committed elsewhere (Lightweight that he is)
Also our esteemed @Bradjhomes popped up on a YouTube Q&A with Mike France about the new Fears jump hour watch…was kinda weird to hear someone I know, albeit virtually, on the big tube…
Over to you fellow Brits..is this a bad idea or a good one, I will leave it for you to mull over.
All the best
Clive.

Yeah, I cut myself many times but it was the constant squinting with a loupe and a caliper to try and pull the brass spelks out my fingers that was the final straw
I always washed my G100 regularly, didn't want anything nasty to start growing from it because of the white water (my company at the time didn't clean out any of the sumps in the whole 7 years I was there, so it wasn't particularly fresh!).
You would assume on a steel watch it would do more good than harm, but I wouldn't fancy trying it hahaha
Those coolant tanks when they haven't been changed stink something awful don't they ?Yeah, I cut myself many times but it was the constant squinting with a loupe and a caliper to try and pull the brass spelks out my fingers that was the final straw

On grinding m/c's the dust fills the tank and you end up with an inch of coolant that's useless
Same here, love the frogman, specially the D1000, but would have to wear it on my ankle.
Also like the bug eyed 6900 in yellow
It's certainly a unique smell you never forget hahaha...I do miss the smell of the machine shop some days, I definitely don't miss the smell of the old Hitachi-Seikis with their decades old oil in
We didn't have fancy grinding machines with coolant so I missed those joys unfortunately
And which watch would you pair with that ensemble? Pics or it never happened...
Unfortunately, I was graced with legs like a Sparrow as well - so I'd probably have to strap the Frogman to my thigh
Can't believe how much I like this watch. (Thinking about it, this is a re-buy so I must like them). I know many don't like Moonphases, but it's almost my favourite complication.

I only put it on last night, I've just realised I set the date change at midday and not midnight. Hence the 4th.

I can remember TL5's and TL40's.There's nothing like the thud of a CNC when you made an errorIt's certainly a unique smell you never forget hahaha...I do miss the smell of the machine shop some days, I definitely don't miss the smell of the old Hitachi-Seikis with their decades old oil in

I never noticed the smell laterly but back in the 70's that coolant was awful and anything it touched, stank.
Another thing you ignore after a while is the noise
and I've got a claim in at the moment for hearing loss and tinnitus.I doubt I'll get anything but in for a penny......
