  Marina highlighted the above in this tweet as she challenges anyone ‘to find a single part of it, that hasn’t turned out to be complete bollocks.’ I thought I would highlight the most obvious aspects that turned out to be… Read More ›

  By Shaun on June 26, 2022 • ( 2 )

  Take a look at the above watch I bought last week for £50. It’s a 1972 Avia Swissonic which is an electric watch and which was arguably right at the cutting edge of technology at the time. Electric watches were… Read More ›
