Even though Alistair is busy with Luke, he managed to find the time to end me the Skipper he has on his site this week - and very nice it is too.

It's a blue faced manual wind 7734 movement with the 15 minute tri-colour timer (countdown timer). The three colours of the timer are 10 to 5, white, 5 to 0, blue, and 0 back to 10 are red - I would presume to signifying you've gone over the ten minutes.

However, the skipper on here isn't in that order.

Is is that the auto and manual watches were different styles? Has anyone got any more information?

Thanks as ever
