It sounds like you are not aware of Christopher Ward who is also in the UK. Check out my prior post here for details

I actually have a 7" wrist and the A&S wears comfortably because of the deeply curved lugs and the tapered bezel. I cant wear big watches like IWC.

I've heard of Christopher Ward, they make nice watches! Also Bremont is in the UK. In the haute horology arena the British grail watches for me would be Roger Smith's. But I'd rather have an F-Type than a Roger Smith!

For about a month my vision was 20/20 reading and 20/40 distance. Then slowly the reading faded out to 20/60 or so and the distance is about 20/30.

Well worth it all around, but when my reading was 20/20 I was paying more checks than usual so i could make sure my friends could see I could read those poorly-printed bar tabs under dim lighting .

Now I can still read much better than before, but dim light or small text and I need 1.0 readers.

Science/tech is sure a marvel and a gift.
Even if you've already had Lasik, in some cases you can still get the Raindrop procedure to get your close-in vision back.

Wow never heard of that before. For now, it is 'good enough.'

I was 20/300 before with contacts since I was 15, so you could imagine it doesn't take a whole lot to make me a happy camper.

Do a lot of sport shooting, so just being able to see the sights w/o reading glass made my day.

[QUOTE=SVR;1782742]Few I wear, depending on mood.

As a racing sailor I've always loved the Yachtmaster II but could never bring myself to spending that much on a watch I'd want to wear and would find a way to lose.....I buy cars because they are harder to misplace?

Almost every fine watch is available on grey market sites i.e. Joma Shop, Authentic etc. Most have their in house warranties, only problem with top brands like AP, Patek, etc. Also used market is usually 50% off.
