Things may appear closer...

After seeing The Doctor's eye glasses in The Sound of Drums I realised that I own a new Doctor Who prop!
I wear a set of lenses just like The Doctor's for my watch repair work - I just knew they would become fashionable eventually  ;).

Get out?! how can we, non-watch repair people, get them?

Seriously though, brilliant luck there

Hi Capt'n James
It is, I studied Horology at college and then completed a five year apprenticeship with a Master watchmaker (I really was taught by The Master  :)).
So it is, as you say, my trade
and that's why I'm TimeGirl

Terrasolo - you can get them in the UK, it's called a double loupe (well that's what I've always called it ).
   
and is my own watch working? er..well no, not at the moment....

has it got a weird circle based design on the front, and what could be a constellation map on the reverse?  If so, don't open it....

Wow Timegirl what a cool trade to have learned! Although I would guess not alot of jobs come up?
