Final piece?

As I've mentioned elsewhere, I recently retired from teaching (although have gone back for a while part-time).

Basically, I pulled the crown all the way out, set the time on the gmt hand, and then because I'...

Haven't done one of these for ages. Blue SMP kick for couple of weeks now; my son appropriated my original and is still away at Uni' and I managed to find one, new-old stock at a discounted price. Happy Sunday :cheers:

Anyone know anything about them? Can't seem to find much on the web, so am assuming they're not especially collectable?
