About £833,000 per minute...

You're right Ed!

I had one of these, but it got compromised by the rolling bed of a litho machine! (Got £29.50 back from the college for breaking it because the 'trip guard' failed to 'trip' ) I had to test beer all night - and forgot about the calculations...

£29.50 bought a lot of beer way back then too, Martin!!

Out of the £833,000 that is due to be spent per minute today, £31 is mine.

Spent at Boots. Done my bit for the economy now.

(That's more or less one of these - just to make it 'real' )
Go for it!

For that sort of money I would expect a chap to come and wind it and set the time right once a week for life as well.

While you were wearing it? I'd want a beer after that, got my hand caught in a parallel sander and was very pleased to see it again.

Oh yes. It rolled into my hand, over and did a tremble, before stopping, on arriving at my watch! OK though, as the roller system avoided any contact with the big mother roller. John, the "operative" was a bit 'spaced out' at the best of times, and it was an edition of 40.

On reflection, I was lucky - but I have never reflected ...much.

Weirdly enough, I have the print, hanging in front of me as I write!

Were you working over time teef or was it flat rate?

Ah, you like to keep it handy?

 

[Aperitif]

Yes and yes - if pressed.

(Actually it is a print of a work by David Inshaw...'Lovers Near Kew Gardens'- it may be worth money. (Particularly if it has parts of my anatomy impressed... ) )

Sh** I found it online!

Watches with calculators are nerd city-central
This is the one I had (1980-ish I guess) - blimey, you can find it all on the internet. Apparently...

That'd make a nice gift!
As the old saying goes....There's no present like the time.

 

[threebikesmcginty]

Bit harsh, it's not that sh**!

Looks like burd checking the bloke's got his wallet with him!
