On my way taking Red Cross and other Inter-Government aid to Vietnam in 1970, we stopped in many places en-route to Siagon, 50 years ago this week we berthed in Hong Kong. Then of course a British territory, we spend 2 lovely weeks there and with a ‘bit’ of spare cash , I bought myself a ‘new’ watch.
A Seiko 5 – was the working mans ‘Rolex’ of the day.
Here is a picture of it – taken this morning – never needed a battery (self winding) and never serviced or cleaned.
Keeps very good time indeed – the best £5 I ever spent.
