No. Not sweeping it's a 'ticking' second hand.
I love my Mondaine, very simple and easy to read design. As I said based on Swiss Railway clocks. The second hand of these clock goes round the clock face in 59 seconds, then stuck on the 12 position for an extra half a second!

Me too, come across so many of those Far-East Lolox copies.
But then again Mrs rpn got a Rolex but bought here in Aberdeen so I know its a 'real' Rolex
will take some tomorrow.
Cooper Coupe...
Well just took my photos of the watches I have at the moment:
The first one is my Favourite watch which I got last year at the MotoGP at the TISSOT stand, picture of the front and rear of the watch. It only comes out on special occasions just now.
This one is a watch my mum bought for me as a late 21st birthday present and gave it to me on my 22nd birthday, which was 15 years ago now. It gave up the ghost 3 years ago while I was on holiday in Florida, so I had to buy myself a new watch to keep me going so whilst wandering around Wal-mart in Kissimmee I found the watch below this one (The black one), and it has now become my daily user and it is brilliant, it even has this feature where you tilt your wrist so much and it lights up itself, when I found that out I was like W O W (yes im easily impressed, just a big kid at heart and always will be )
The next one is the one my dad always used... It's an OMEGA Gene've DYNAMIC I picked it up and took it out of my cupboard and its still working!!! after being in my cupboard for the last 15 years!!!
Well thats my lot so far, not as impressive as others in here but I'm happy with what I've got so far, one day if and when I can afford it I would like to try and get a TAG Heuer coz I do like them but they are just too dear for me .
Theres nothing worse than being in public and drooling all over the windows outside a jewellers shop

Nothing wrong with that Zimbo - I do it all the time!
Well done with the photies . I've got a similar Casio G-Shock too - it's fricken awesome and withstands any amount of punishment! I wear it when I don't want to worry about scratching or bumping my watch, or when I'm swimming .
Ours..
My Tag Formula 1
My Tag Heuer Calibre S

Had a wee play with my 50mm lens too.
And Zimbo, I wouldn't worry about it..... Lenore and I are constantly hanging round the Jewellers wherever we go, gazing at the watches we want but can't afford.

I love this Citizen - solar powered so never needs a battery, perpetual calendar so never needs adjusted, titanium so is very light, chronograph, alarm, dual time - the technology is amazing.
A recent purchase was this Rotary Chronospeed - I really like this as an every day watch. It was remarkably cheap but looks amazing on and catches a lot of admiring glances - I love the matt black finish on the bezel and buttons. Not unlike a TAG F1 I think. Amazingly, you get a lifetime warranty with every Rotary if you allow them to service it every 3 years .
