Pantor today, Skullduggery in the back ground....................Alas poor Yorick .................i didnt know him at all actually

Pianist Andre Tchaikowsky left his skull to the RSC when he died in 1982 in the hope it would be used on stage.
But since his death at the age of 46, it had only been used in rehearsals.
Tennant held it on stage during the famous "Alas, poor Yorick" scene in 22 performances at the Courtyard Theatre, in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Swiss Mentor circa 1970

I put this on this morning and realised it wasnt working .. no secondhand movement



So decided to put this big beauty on and make a statement



I have even changed it over to my left wrist for a change

If the Seiko has been working recently it's strange that it has just ceased up. Have you tried moving the hands using the crown to see if they are colliding with each other or just giving it a strong left to right shake? Probably could have worded that better but hopefully it makes sense.

Out of interest what are the dimensions of the Invicta? I'm hoping the weight of it isn't proportional to the size.

I am going with this Longines Conquest.

The Invicta is surprisingly light I do not have a tape measure to hand but will get back to you re the dimensions.

As for the Seiko it was working but I havent wore it for a long time , I have a feeling I might have dropped it but can not be 100% sure , yup I wound on the hands and gave it a rather good shake but still nothing ..

turn it face down in the palm of your hand and give it 6 hard slaps on the case back

Thanks, that's quite a size and must be one of your biggest watches.

Thanks Bruce.

I noticed this morning it had stopped so once I got the case back off there was the usual struggle with the two small screws which secure the battery clasp. No mishaps though and a lot quicker than the 2 hours it took me to get the tiny screws back into an omega watch recently.
