Top Gear :Warning watch related.
Just managed to watch last weeks Skyplused TG.
I see Richard Hammond has got himself a nice new (or is it old) Rolex Submariner.
And Clarkson has pushed the boat out with his Omega Aqua Terra Railmaster XXL.
He also wore an Omega Planet Ocean 45mm on a rubber strap, whilst on the train, that must have been his "working" watch.
And last but not least James was wearing an IWC Portuguese, which is him all over.
Now for a bit of help, what watch was Schumacher wearing, it was huge but I couldnt make it out.
I am taking a stab at a Panerai of some description.
Anyway....what was the programme about then ?
So sad I know, but I cant help it.

Help seeked.
Work did not.
Jeg har en sygdom, skal du dont mock.
I cant hjælpe, men ser på smukke ure på skærmen, lidt ligesom man ser på en udsat spaltning.
Det er bare, hvordan det er, bortset fra mig for hvad jeg er.
Loving din bacon .....

JC's newspaper clip below re-watches.
He bought his Railmaster XXL with his own money, apparently.
Also did you notice James May was wearing a Railmaster last night, maybe JC has been singing its praises.
"And this brings me neatly onto the question of watches. For some time now I’ve been on the hunt for a new one but the choice is tricky. I couldn’t have a Breitling because I don’t own an Audi. I couldn’t have a Calvin Klein because they are pants, I couldn’t have a Gucci because I’m not a footballist’s wife, I couldn’t have a TW Steel because my wrist isn’t big enough to sport something that can be seen from space, I couldn’t have a Tissot because I’m not eight and the only thing in the world worse than a fake Rolex is a real one.
Have you noticed something odd about Rolexes? Especially the modern ones that wind automatically when you move your wrist about? A great many owners wear them on their right hand. I jump to no conclusions here but you can feel free.
Mostly, though, I cannot wear any of these watches because I am an Omega man. I have worn a Seamaster for years, not because James Bond has one and not because Neil Armstrong wore something by the same maker on the moon but because on the day I went away to school my parents gave me a Genève Dynamic.
The trouble is that for the past few years Omega has been the Pillsbury dough of Swiss watches. The Terry and June. Omegas were dreary. They were boring to behold. They were Vectras in a world of Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The De Ville Prestige, for example, was plainly designed by someone who had a black-and-white telly.
This filled me with despair. I wanted a watch. For the same reasons that I bank at Barclays and wear Levi’s, it had to be an Omega, and it just wasn’t coming up with the goods. It was like Leeds United. Once the home of Peter Lorimer and Gary Sprake but now an also-ran bunch of unimaginative clod-hopping no-hopers.
And then one day, in Hong Kong, I saw it. A new Omega. It’s called the Railmaster and it is a thing of unparalleled beauty. There is no button that owners think will call for help if they find themselves in a crashing helicopter on Kilimanjaro, it is not waterproof to 8,000 metres, there is no stopwatch, there is no swivelling bezel to tell you how much air you have left in your tanks and you even have to wind it up every morning or it will stop. Plainly this is a watch for the sedentary soul. The man with no hang glider or mini sub in his garage. I bought it in an instant."
Later Sweet Jesus.

Bitter? Errmm why? I am considerably better than you as all my posts confirm.
Bow to my superiority or I'll order you to get off your **** and do some exercise weak man...
You can always have a go at these two slapheads for being bitter too...
Worlds best surfer:
Yep, it really holds you back with the ladies being a proper bloke.

Thought this was about watches? lol
I know nothing about watches, so please can someone tell me, is the TW Steel is actually bigger than the one he was wearing!!!!?
I couldn’t have a TW Steel because my wrist isn’t big enough to sport something that can be seen from space
