The only great issue you need to address is da fear of falling down one of your dark n dangerous furrows.
And no I dont care for dat oral love.
And stop derailing my new pal Bobs watch thread please.
Met loads of new chums on here and am even considering buying something fancy myself so these threads are influential and above all informing.
I have seen similar makes down Cheetham hill and the one I have my eye on is called a YES watch as I follow Ric Wakeman and Jon Anderson.
I am talking about the more complex and expensive ones and have my eyes transfixed on a Zulu.
Have a quick read of this .. ..
Thousands of years ago Babylonian astronomers discovered that, as the night sky passed, 12 distinct star constellations rose above the horizon line at fairly equal intervals.
We know it as the Zodiac with the twelve Signs. When to meet Anata under the starry sky could now be carefully planned,
unless of course the fog rolled in.
Why not divide the day into 12 hours as well? Their glassblowing skills were first rate, and soon the hour glass business
flourished. The accuracy could have been so-so, but the 24 hour conscience of time had seen the light of day.
Centuries ago, British sailors recognized the dire need for a fixed time keeping method to safely navigate the vast oceans,
and in 1884, at the Washington conference, the 24 hour GMT system was adopted as the first worldwide time standard.
Some called it Zulu time. In 1986 UTC replaced GMT as the world standard. UTC is radio controlled and is based on
atomic measurements rather than the earth's rotation.
To honor the forefathers of time, the YES ZULU embraces all their revelations and is possibly the most comprehensive
interpretation of time that money can buy. It relates both natural and modern time back to that ancient celestial
24 hour cycle. At a glance, you see times for sunrise and sunset, solar high noon, moonrise and moonset, moon phase,
military time and, of course, hours, minutes and seconds in AM/PM or 2400 time mode, for wherever you are in the world.
Sweet baby jesus eh ?
As all YES watches the ZULU has been programmed for the next century and automatically updates for DST.
It has been pre- programmed for nearly 600 cities worldwide and can be set by latitude and longitude.
It keeps digital time for 2 locations simultaneously, and has a stopwatch with lap-time, a timer, a countdown and a past
and future date solunar calculator. The 24 hour bezel can be set to keep time for a third timezone.
The model I am interested in I may have to source second hand and it's the MK5191
Here is Honest reviews giving the lowdown on it.

And a genuine question if I may Gerald ?
Why do you always post strictly from 4am to 5 am and then just completely dissapear from the radar.
Are you really a farmer and have to tend stock ?
My grandfather had friends that lived in the emerald isles until they couldnt handle it anymore and moved to Manny.
And why pray do you keep a pig in your parlour because we have a different thread on here for that ?.
Are you anywhere near craggy island kerrys ring dublin or lourdes mate ? I dont know any more places over there.
I stayed at the Arlington hotel once right on the river livvie.
International flags hanging outside and all manner of medieval armoury hanging up inside.
Every night they had river dancing and the atmospherics were immense pal.
Even the locals would come in as its the best place in Dublin for the crac, have a look on youtube.
Right acrosss the river is the temple bar but they will have you over for a fat lad with their prices which are around 7 euros a scoop.
That black stuff they sell that fills you up with iron was around circa 8 euros.
The next time you come on this thread mate please review a watch as this is a thread only for timepieces or as us afficienados say the Horology thread.
Or maybe your still on sundials over there ?
A pig in a parlour you say ?
