Yup, won it for £21 delivered, from Delhi. It's a standard watch based on the same 6309 calibre as my Diver.

Swatch SULM103 Winter Race.
In 2010, amidst multiple spinal surgeries, we won a competition. It required entering pack codes from Alpen cereals. The upshot was an all-expenses week in Zermatt, with many extras thrown in. How could I not buy a Swiss watch while enjoying (not!) the cable cars?4
A Rolex being somewhat out of my league, I chose this, largely because it has an altimeter function!

And here it is...
Incorrect (but genuine Seiko) strap added by me to replace the really awful faux leather one on it.

Early birthday pressie from Lovely Wife - G Shock GA 800 in red. Stock picture shown as it's better than I can take. I've a few G Shocks but this is going to be my favourite as it is the first that I can read the time and the stopwatch counter without having to press a button ie at the same time. Also this has a really bright motion sensitive backlight which is great for gloomy conditions when hiking in the mountains.

This was left by my Grandmother's second husband, Nick Amphlett-Carter. It has his initials HAC monogrammed on it (his real name was Harold).

My daily watch is a Casio quartz analogue in black plastic for taking the knocks.
A client bought me one of these about fourteen years ago which I wear when I am not cycling to work. We'd done a huge case which made a massive difference to his life and it was a really nice gesture.

Ian Harris on Gosport replaced the mainspring in mine. It wasn't expensive but it was 25 years ago
Festina Chrono-Bike TDF 100.
Sadly damaged Bezel and face in a crash
Hoping Santa brings me the Tag Heuer Carrera I'm hankering after so the Festina can be sent off for repair then put back in the box where I should have left it
I also have an old Seiko Chrono that I wear to work.That too needs some TLC as non of the side buttons work any more

Did Santa come up with the goods?
Er no
I also(wrongly) thought I might get it for my 50th last May.We were in Paris and no watch on birthday morning.We went out for a walk and the wife picked a nice bar for lunch on the Champs Elysees...right outside the Tag Heuer store so I thought she was being crafty.She wasn't I just wasn't getting a watch
I think I'll have to buy it myself.
