Here's my pride and joy. Tag Kirium Ti5 F1. Carbon fibre dial and titanium body. Fits in with the add less philosophy of Lotus. Worn everyday and a bugger to actually tell the time, bit like the Elise in some ways!

Looks 8) JJ. Reckon I'd get a sore head trying to figure out the time though :lol:
Been admiring some Breitling Superoceans recently, but I'd get a boot in the nuts if I was to get caught thinking about one.
I have no signature.

JJ - two thumbs!

Only two breitblngs I'd ever by are the Navimeter and the B-1 (centimental reasons). Good choosing.

Obviously things are going well in the house of Kelly for new wrist clocks to be bought :thumbsup

I don't know driving in another way which isn't risky. Each one has to improve himself. Each driver has its limit. My limit is a little bit further than other's.

You can go into an AD and have them send it back to Swatch. Be warned though... Stu in the office sent his Seamaster back in March and still doesn't have it back. They aren't exactly quick!

There's also the likes of http://www.swisstimeservices.com/ you can try. Seen them mentioned a few times on the watchy forums.

Or.. you can go to a local watchsmith type person.. I'm sure Greg will know of some in the Burgh :thumbsup

I just use Goldsmiths in Ocean Terminal for my Speedy Pro (used Goldsmiths in Newcastle previously). They send it to official service at Swatch (unclear if UK or Switzerland). Low cost, always returned immaculate, accurately adjusted, and quick turnaround (never taken longer than 3 wks for me).

According the the girlie at Ernest & Jones.... the issue is that they now all get sent to the new UK service centre... who get all the parts they need from Switzerland and this system isn't working well. Stu's delay has apparently been caused by them 'waiting for parts'.

Ah. Not good. Been 3 yrs since my last service and sounds like things have gone pear-shaped... guess I'm looking for an answer to Andy's question too then (for when I next need a service).
