Don't you mean a team of Mortis men?alphajet wrote:Wow a whole Court of Jesters watches, enough to equipe a whole team of Morris Men.
Only joking, although I do like Pilot watches, could never quite bring myself to buy one even when they were in the sales.

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
Nice Collection..... not sure I could wear one but but I like the history behind the face design.

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
So, a couple of these are franken watches?
Nice collection if you have some good Raybans.
And yes, I am aware of the history and I respect it. (Last time I made a negative comment, Yoda called me a cretin).

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
With the history behind the design it is just flat out smashing in my book. Very cool bit of history on your wrist with that.

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
I really do like these watches (well the UK versions). Had a PVD one but preffered the stainless case. By the time I flipped mine to get the stainless they had gone. Still consider getting another. Nice collection

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
I do have to say that i am most upset that no one has noted my time setting skills. I remembered someone having a picture of two watches that were a few seconds apart (me i think ) this caused a large amount of comment. So i spent the next three weeks setting the time on multiple watches. Todays picture is the result.
I expect that a few of you looked to see if the times were okay, and were disappointed that they were quite close.

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
Well, I like this one a lot. It's different, unique and has historical context. Wear them with pride gentlemen. On a slightly different subject I like my recently acquired C8 MkI but the hands are so ridiculously small I can hardly see the damn things. It's not as if there's a lack of space is it?! If I could have larger hands fitted from the MKII I might be tempted to wear it.scooter wrote:Naturally.

Exactly the reason I had to sell my Mk1's. I asked about the possibility of having MKII hands fitted, but without success.Leo David wrote:On a slightly different subject I like my recently acquired C8 MkI but the hands are so ridiculously small I can hardly see the damn things.

Re: Marmite!! Extreme WARNING!! C80
Ah! Thanks for that, Richard. I feel then that my short encounter with the MkI is about to come to an end.
