Money Savers Arms
Last ooorders!… We’re sorry but for now, due to resources, we need to close the Money Savers Arms including Discussion Time.
It’s not easy to write this. We love the forum, but we also have a job to do to protect it, our users and MoneySavingExpert, and at the moment, with all our resources focused on Coronavirus information, and all the team at home, we don’t feel we have the resources to do a good enough job.
For four months, we’ve been struggling to cope with the huge volumes of messages we’ve been getting from Forumites – many of whom are in desperate and dire straits with their finances. The team have been working all hours to try and keep on top of it. At first we thought it’d be a short sharp spike, but it isn’t, it’s continuing, so we have had some difficult choices to make about prioritisation.
Unfortunately in, and likely because of, these stressful times, the Forum team have also been receiving an increasing number of complaints about posts made on the Money Savers Arms and Discussion Time. The team have done what they can to try and walk the tightrope of balancing all the various interests, but for now we need to draw a line under this and temporarily close this Board, so we can keep the key, MoneySaving boards – where people are supporting each other through this crisis - running smoothly.
We know this board is important to you, but as the MSE stance has been forbearance throughout this crisis, now we ask that of you. We’re sorry. Of course you can post on other boards, but we’d ask you to stick to the subjects of those boards, and not use them as a surrogate Money Savers Arms or Discussion Time. And as always please be kind and friendly to each other, especially any newbies.
Thanks
MSE Forum Team

if any.
I've always loved watches, old and new, mechanical, digital, cheap or expensive.
Currently I have 4 which I'm happy with; I wouldn't wish to add to these but could see my swapping one out for something different.
I know that now with the time constantly displayed on phones, tablets, PCs and other devices, many no longer wear a watch.

I shot a vein in my neck and coughed up a Quaalude.

I am also the proud owner of these two 19th century beauties ...
Those are very nice.
Old batteries tend to corrode when not replaced, so you may want to replace them in the watches you care about otherwise damage can occur.

don't wear any leather products
wear a rubber fit bit watch during the day and even that gives me a sore wrist but its worth it to see how many miles ive walked and I find my sleep pattern fascinating...even if nobody else does
So much so that nowadays I purposely get the cheapest semi-decent-looking watch I can and - if it is lucky enough to reach the age when it needs a battery - I just buy another.
These last few years, Argos have been ideal with el-cheapo Limit types.
It breaks my heart when I manage to ruin a good watch.
Though I do currently possess one of these :

I don't often dare wear it!
:rotfl:
My husband has a nice green-faced round watch with a webbing strap for everyday and a Hugo Boss presented to him by our son for special events. He also has a fake Rolex brought back from China as a joke by a friend. Oh yes, and I bought him a Birmingham City watch years ago for a laugh. The latter two are not worn.
Now if you asked me about jewellery, my answer would be considerably different!
