  I'm also a bit of an enamel pin badge collector, mainly transport related.

  Concorde badge looks like its slipping on a banana !!

  What is the 30th Anniversary? I can't quite make out the outer lettering.

  @fishfabs.

  I do like that Swiss Tools torque driver.

  It's not a name that I was aware of.

  Looked at their web site. Some very nice precision tools on there.

  Thats pad printing, transferring ink from an etched block to the article.

  Known in industry as Tampo Print.

  We used to print the Scalextrix slot car bodies using this method.*

  We developed different pad shapes, curved, 2 piece different hardness silicone to ensure the print did not become distorted when applying to a curved surface.

  Print alignment when printing multi-colour was always a challenge.

  *40 years ago.

  In a later life, printed conductive inks onto a flexible substrate to make elements for heated car mirrors.

  Tissot Seastar

  Just looking at this used one, from another UK forum.

  2 1/2 years old, hardly worn, received as a gift Christmas 2021.

  Chap is asking 50% of the new price, including genuine Tissot stainless strap and blue rubber strap.

  Looks in the condition as he described in the 10 photos he sent to me.

  Only thing that bugs me is the case back opening tool indents are not lining up squarely with the crown.
  I compared this with an image on the Tissot website, and the picture of the back shows all lined up 'squarely'.

  He said that the back has never been opened.

  Is it me or is the image on the website a photoshopped image, and that is throwing my mind into something that I should not be concerned about?
