Those nice people at Octane magazine have just sent me this, for a letter like wot I wrote! Not really my style so won't be appearing on my wrist anytime soon, but much appreciated all the same!

Our good friend Delwyn Mallett had written a great 'Icon' piece about the Bell Huey UH-1, so I just wrote a letter with a couple of anecdotal old helicopter stories as a photographer in Africa back in the day, which they seemed to like.

Helping a friend sell a few of his watches that he’s had from new. Probably won’t have time to list them properly before I go on holiday but if anyone is after any of these just message me...

Rolex 16622 Platinum bezel/dial Yachtmaster 40. Box and papers from 2010 and serviced by Rolex in 2015...

Omega Speedmaster Moonphase blue box and booklets and serviced by Omega in Dec 2014 with receipts/paperwork and warranty cards...

Limited Edition AP Royal Oak ‘Nick Faldo’. Original box and papers and serviced by AP agent Dec 15....

Price wise you are looking at private sale values of 6, 3 and 11....

There’s an potentially fun legal case

... assume it’s just a fun bit of artwork? About right though, Rolex and Porsche do tend to go hand in hand ( I’m guilty)
