It's a fully mechanical wristwatch that you can connect to an atomic clock to wind, regulate, and set it

All British passports after Brexit will be manufactured by a Franco-Dutch company because the bid from a UK firm wasn't good enough

Satire is dead

I think everyone's agreed on calling it the "Diet Pepsi" in deference to its bigger brother the Rolex GMT Master with the Pepsi bezel

According to Omega, the new helium escape valve in the latest Diver 300m Seamasters can now be operated while the watch is submerged in water

I have precisely no idea why anyone would want to do that and there are very few people who have any use at all for a helium escape valve but I suppose it's a thing you can do now

!!! OCTOWATCH !!!

Me:

Few nice releases from Sinn this year, nothing that particularly sets my world on fire though

Not sure if I should be disappointed or relieved that I don't have to sell a kidney

BASELWORLD!

Seems I can put "fixing electronic adjustable beds" on my list of skills

Charity shop my dad works for got a non-functional adjustable bed donated, asked me to take a look at it, turns out it needed some new relays

As a standard bed it would have gone for £20-30, just putting £4 of new relays in there means they can get £150

Not a bad 10 minutes work
