An Omega GMTMASTER ! How times have changed !...D
Fareastdriver,
I suppose I was lucky getting my "West End Watch Company" (aka Longines) home in '46 - but the Liverpool Customs shrank from us as potential plague carriers, and passed us all through without a murmer !..D.
This natter is going on splendidly - exactly as a Forum should. Btw, I seem to have been the trigger for the advts appearing here recently for artificial ice-rinks (they must read us). It's nice to see PPRuNe getting a bit of revenue from our efforts !
Cheers, Danny.
