Heyyy - nice watch, kid!

So you must still be a youngster! I'd always imagined you, with your
most respected position in this community, your great fund of sagacious

Thanks, I think... :-)

(mine had an Archimedes Drill in there as well though). I was probably a whisker
older than you when I got that, but must have been working with my dad's tools
prior to that, so similar sort of ages...
