DS is 44 today.

I fancied something a little different in the watch department and plumped for this from our Russian friends.

I think it’s a very attractive piece. What do you lot think?

EDIT: may not be to everybody’s taste but more appealing than my bruised and unfeasibly large belly I foisted on you all in 2009!

nice watch, do they do them in mens as well as ladies? 😆

^^ like ^^

Does not like

Got a “Breeze” here – certainly different…

Had to ditch the poor strap and get a replacement on mine

Did you also get a suit to wear it with?

I like that. If I may, where do you buy it from?

derek showing people his new watch, earlier;

What did you do with the paper hat and the joke that came with it?
😉

I got mine from timeshop4you – based in Germany.

Good service.

watches are so old fashioned, most people under the grand old age of 44 use modern equipment to tell the time

No wonder Nokia are struggling – they can’t even spell ‘Menu’

happy birthday by the way x

Phil, a century ago, people started wearing wristwatches because of the inconvenience of dragging a watch out of a pocket, flipping a lid open, then closing it and putting it back into a pocket.
What you’ve got there is a whizzy fob-watch.
I’d rather continue to live in the 21st Century, not the early 20th.
Oh, and Derek, nice watch, love the retro styling.

I like it

just been looking at vostok, might have to get one

I like your birthday watch.

Show us your birthday suit.

I can’t see the pic of the watch but as long as it’s got an alarm I’m sure it’s fine.

STW i am disappoint. all watches should have a calculator and if you’re rich… the ability to change TV channels.

Very nice DS

Right!!! Grab him, you lot!!!! Lets give him the bumps!!!!

I like that.

How big is it?

Happy Birthday btw!

It looks very……. Russian. Needs a few big Swarovski crystals round the outside though.

How big is it?

quality abuse, and watch

and happy birthday

Does not like.

If TRH had the beans, TRH would buy:

russian indeed.

to get an idea of the distinct level of SWAG you now possess…

Nice photos Phil. Is that last one in your front room?

Happy B’day DS!

I also recently bought myself a watch for my birthday as smartphones are now so big that taking it out of the pocket to check the time was becoming a right pita.

Niiiice

Just decided what I want for my 40th!!!

I likes

Show us your birthday suit
Seen enough of that to not want to see anymore. Thanks.

Happy birthday.

I shall refrain from commenting on the attractiveness of your piece, if it’s all the same.

Trying to be all moderator-y now eh? I don’t even know who you are any more.

LOL at the watch brand-whore-snobs.

EVERYONE knows this type of watch shits all over everything else and then ****s it up the ***.
