NORTHERN IRELAND never conquered by the ROMANS...they quit at HADRIAN'S WALL...SCOTCH / IRISH brought to US COLONIES to fight aboriginals in Appalachian mountains... they were good at whiskey distilling...fierce fighting culture...fast forward you got hill billies... swimming pools movie stars

My First Nomadic - perhaps my last if they watch this review!

£1050 is no joke, at this price the watch competes with Christopher Ward, is it as good as or no better than Aliexpress watches?
