I've an American one too, Alex, probably the same one and of the same vin=
tage. It's lasted well. But again, it's said by others to be cheap and =
plasticy to look at. That's probably because it's made of plastic and is=
comparatively cheap at under thirty quid.
Cheers now.
Ian

Robert, I do, that's why I'm prepared to pay 250 notes for the watch that=
I want, which hopefully (not being made out of RNIB standard tin and pla=
stic), might last me slightly longer than the guarantee period. Cheers. A=

Hi Alex,
Many years ago, I bought one of the first quartz Braille watches from RNI=
B at a cost of =A350. I shudder to think of what it would be now. I was q=
uite pleased with it. My son had recently bought a new Rolex costing over=
=A31,000. When he saw my new watch he said, "why should people have to p=
ut up with that sort of rubbish just because they are blind?" When I aske=
d what he meant, he said, "it looks naf and no sighted person with any r=
espect for their appearance would be seen dead wearing it.
I think perhaps a lot of us don't realise just how important appearances =
are to many people with normal vision. They feel that watches aren't just=
for telling the time, they also say something about the people wearing t=
hem.
Best.
Robert.

An awful lot of people do! I think it's important to realise that watche=
s particularly from RNIB are subsidised, and we don't pay what they cost!=

Who in their right mind would pay that sort of money for a watch?
