Congratulations Jarl, I have paid a few visits.

There's some interesting stuff on there, particularly on the divers where the info is a bit harder to find.

On that topic, there's a bit of a linguistic misunderstanding over the orange dial - it's only our US cousins who write "meter", in UK English it is "metre" just as it is in French. So on the dials with "professional" instead of "professionel", it is all in English, it's just that there isn't a difference between French and UK spellings of metre.

By the same token, we can't really say the "meter" spelling is "anglicised" because the English don't spell it like that :)
