Can anybody beat this...

Just found an old Timex watch at the bottom of an old sailing bag, unused since gave up Wayfarer racing 8 years ago. It is an Ironman Triathlon.

It is displaying the time and date, 37 secs fast. Not too bad, and what a battery life. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

You shure its not one of those watches thats right twice a day only?

Well, I found a McDonalds Apple Pie in a time capsule in which it had been buried for at least 10 years and it's still burnt my tongue when I took a bite!

My Ironman has a crack all the way across the face, duck tape holding it onto the strap goes racing on a Hurricane catamaran every weekend (therefore usually goes swimming every weekend) and has never failed, top watch. Shame it can't get us to the start line on time.

You seem to be missing the point - the aim is to get to the finish line !

Ive got a packet of 3 condoms not to be used after December 1979!

Which begs the question . . . is it that long since you last . . . . . . . . .

 

[cookjwm]

Why?

 

[Plan_B]

You need to get out more ..... or should I say - in more....

 

[tcm]

Pah

That's nothing. I found SWMBO in the kitchen this morning, decades old and still working fine.

I've got my Grandad's watch, 98 years old & still going strong. The watch that is, Grandad stopped a long while ago.
It apparently runs on something called "clockwork", whatever will they think of next.

Knew I should go for a Japanese watch, was given an Omega, and it keeps the worst time possible, and stops regularly. Cost more than numerous Timexes to get adjusted/serviced too.

 

[sarabande]

My brother bought an early Omega Seamaster, and assumed it was an automatic. It was only after the service agent returned it to him on the third occasion that they asked the leading question...

I have a sun dial in the back garden put there when the house was built in 1895 --- still keeps perfect time.

 

[Dave_Snelson]

I was given one of those in 1983 (sometime round there anyway) and it still works perfectly. If you don't use the backlight, it will run for donkey's years!

What, the sundial? I've yet to see one of those run without a backlight... /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
