I'm Steve.
I found my long-lost snide Omega Seamaster (genuine fake from Turkey) yesterday. I thought it was self-winding, so was assuming it's just broken. But Anita thinks it will have a battery. Not that it makes any difference, I can't get into it anyway. And now I've bent the bezel trying
Bit annoying really, I've only had it 20 years. You'd think a thirty quid fake Omega watch would last better than that.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables
T'other system:
Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF
A/V:
LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub
Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

If I ever return to Mexico I'll be getting my fifteen bucks back. If I can remember which of the 800 shops selling fake watches I got it from.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.

I bet you wish you'd taken the extended warranty now. At least you would have had something with the shop's name on it.

I'm saying nothing, except you're slowing down Roy - 4 minutes between taking the photograph and posting.
