  • Japan has quite an ... interesting relationship with KFC in general.

    There's an amazing urban legend in Japan that suggests the ghost of Colonel Sanders placed a curse on the Hanshin Tigers baseball team after fans threw a Colonel Sanders statue into a river in the 80s.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_the_Colonel

    Someone eventually found it at the bottom of the river, prompting another strange moment

    On March 8, 2024, KFC Japan held a burial ceremony for the statue

  • They also make some very strange Kitkats.
    BB 58 for me today

  • Have you seen this new Aqua Terra though?

    If they'd done it as a grey dial I think it may have worked.

  • I can vouch for this, I queued with a colleague inside a roped off line outside a KFC on Christmas Day in Tokyo, alongside a life-size statue of the colonel in santa garb. Surreal.

  • As with all Omega gonna wait until I see in the flesh to commit fully.
    It looks……. Ok
    But some Omega don’t seem to photograph well.

  • I like that. The black indices and hands look great i think

  • Happy Friday

  • That looks uncomfortable to wear. Is it?

  • Not remotely - it’s one of those which you forget you’re wearing.

  • Collab.

  • I’m looking for a tool watch to provide data during outdoor activities. Mostly mountaineering and diving. It should ideally include depth meter for diving and altimeter for climbing. I always thought G-shock solar watches are the best watches in the world but can’t find one with both these functions. Is there a model I’m missing or am I doomed to buy Fenix or, god forbid, an iWatch ES?

    PS. This watch is not a substitute for a diving computer.

  • Suunto core?

  • Really lovely.

  • The only current G-Shock with both an altimeter and a depth meter is the GWN-Q1000. But even then I'm not 100% sure it's still in production.

    The only other G-Shock with both depth and alti I think is the Skyforce DW-6500, which probably qualifies as vintage at this point. Cool looking watch though.

  • Where would you go to find leather straps in C. London?

  • Sorry I’m not in central London.

  • Sorry, realised that after I asked.

  • That's very nice. Health to wear

  • Anyone after a last minute ladies gift I have just had this 2006 numeral aqua terra automatic come back from service ……

  • @DanM I will have a look into that as well, thanks! This looks similar to Fenix, however the brand is less popular so might be harder to service it in case something breaks.

    @Regal thanks! Exactly what I was looking for! The Skyforce is exactly what I’m looking for! As both these are unavailable to me as brand new might as well look for it 2nd hand!

  • It’s like new .
