There's Always One Smartass..........

............ and today it's me!

In Borneo '65/'66 everybody had to have an Akai M8 open reel tape recorder and a Breitling NAVITIMER (snobs had the one with the 24 hour sweep).

I bought my Navitimer in Changi Village and it's still with me. Odd problems with the luminous hands losing their luminous bits, needs cleaning/regulating now and again and the bezel is ropey but not bad for 40+ years.

In the early days of space travel, NASA used navitimers but then went for Omega Speedmasters. I am told there is a good watch called an ORIS ?? spelling but have no personal experience of it.

Time to go - uhhh

O-D
