Ears could be a plus then don’t have to listen to this c..pI really must get some of that Collagen stuff because according to this Olympic Gold Medalist, it's the glue that holds us all together.
And if I don't get some then presumably bits of my body will start falling off - one of my ears perhaps or maybe even my nose. Or even worse one of my legs or arms. And I really couldn't be doing with that.
Random musings and general banter.

Best be quick then, “have a buy” before they realise and put them upMy gast has been flabbered again. Vostok rocket n1 hy"bred" watches didn't sell out last night and it's back, at the wrong price

And he couldn't even get the name right, it wasn't a Vostok Rocket N1, it was the Expedition South Pole watch.
The bullsh*t he comes out with is unbelievable.
On the Expedition North Pole Watch.
Seiko Industries movement- I don't know how many times it needs to be repeated, Seiko is not called Seiko Industries, Seiko Industries is an Indian Sewing Machine manufacturer, the VR42 is made/supplied by Seiko Epson, or to be more precise by Epson Hong Kong Ltd.
It's a hybrid mechanical movement - No it ain't.
No more of this watch anywhere - Available at multiple outlets around the globe
Never need to replace a Battery - Until you need to replace the Seiko 3023 34R battery (Panasonic MT920 battery with special connections)
Never need servicing - Think Seiko have a difference of opinion, they say every 3-4 years, https://www.seikowatches.com/uk-en/customerservice/faq/solar1
Never need to re-calibrate - Oh that's why Seiko gives instructions how re-calibrate the chronograph if the second hand doesn't return to '0'
VE attending Watches & Wonders in Geneva 2nd April - Watches & Wonders ain't for the likes of Vostok Europe
Movement used by some of the biggest Swiss brands
- No, and i mean NO big Swiss brands use this movement, why teh f*** would a big Swiss brand be using a £25 Japanese movement. It is popular with Pulsar (Seiko's own affordable watch brand) who've been using this movement for years.Still hasn't sold out. It's still available on their website - I've just put 15 of them in my basket.My gast has been flabbered again.

It's odds on that Pedro will be desperately hawking them later on this evening when he's back on. He'll probably say something like : "We thought these had sold out but a few have bounced back." Never heard that one before.

Btw @Hammy60 , Mark Scout in my favourite TV programme at the moment, Severance, wears a Vostok, pilot-style, watch, as his outer-self (aka Outie). He is a former Modern History Professor, so perhaps a nod to the Russian involvement in the world wars.
But we don't really know why or the significance of this...yet.
He swaps the Vostok watch (as do all severed staff with watches) on entering the Lumon office changing room for a (no text/numbers mandated) unidentifiable Skågen style batons-only one, for his inner-self (Innie) to use while on the severed office floor.
And if you don't know what I'm on about, watch Severance!
Or look it up!

Or look it up!I remember having a taste of Guinness and Sherry (separate occasions) when I was a kid: somewhere in the region of 10, give or take and saying I will never drink again, it's disgusting. As I write, I have a small glass of spiced rum, so I think I told fibs back then
Although, I did try a cigarette when I was in my mid to late teens and said the same thing, and after that, the only time I will ever smoke is at my funeral.

Very cynical!Trevor in the Cotswolds has bought the tooth pen - will he whiten his watches with it I wonder? He doesn’t half talk crap
It’s for Pauline’s birthday. He’s actually bought 2,one for each tooth
It was: with his ventriloquist 'grin' too. Thing is, I noticed it's a pre-order, so 'by rights', until it actually does get to the dispatch time, they can keep repeating the same ol' same ol'. Yes, it's damned annoying. I watch, if I can keep it up without turning over, on mute.

Still? Still flogging it. Seriously, I don’t think they have anything else to sell…. Only half an hour to the Great Pottery Throw Down-can I suffer a half an hour

Crikey! Pete’s really getting his teeth into this presentation isn’t he?
A thought just came to me. Those teeth of his look so 'fake', he probably leaves 'em in a jar of a night time.
.
If I were a betting person I’d have a tenner on YesThomas Tompion? Watches on at 8will Vostok make an appearance?? Answers on a postcard please
