• What time is it? Watches and horology

  @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!

  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.

  It also tastes kinda like aftershave but in a good way.

  Nikka from the barrel is a funny one. Japanese regulations aren’t really strict about what can be labelled as Japanese whisky. Nikka owns Ben Navis distillery. It produces grain whisky that’s aged in bourbon barrels. This whisky is then mixed with single malt and bottled as Nikka From The Barrel.

  So it’s basically scotch labelled as japanese but has American flavour.

  I believed that Hibiki would be a more
  Japanese gift in both presentation and in provenance.

  I think Uigeadail is a bit sweeter than Corry. Both really great whiskies but can’t stand a chance against 10’s value!

  It’s not the first time a white flag is being confused with kalashnikov by an IDF soldier.

  I have this tradition now that I uncork a new bottle of Lagavulin for Christmas every year. Every year it is a different bottle and this year it’s Distillers Edition 2018. It’s a quiet tasty dram, but lacks flavour intensity, feels watered down and ends up being pretty disappointing.

  It’s really kind of you, but I think it would be very inconvenient to arrange this. But thank you.

  Wow wouldn’t mind a sample as well. A rare find!

  There’s too much confusion
