  I have no idea what Google Keep is but he has an android phone so may know.
  Thanks

  I suspect he would struggle with Excel - as do I. ThAnks

  As always, I’m not sure if this is the correct thread, feel free to redirect me.
  We have had a builder working at our house recently. He has three or four building projects running at any one time ( big and small). Currently he uses his memory to work our bills and the odd handwritten note. I suggested an iPad or similar for him to keep track of staff and costs - basically in real time. Has anyone any ideas if this is a practical solution? And, has anyone any knowledge of appropriate software? I’m guessing Excel or equivalent would work but I struggle with it and I would expect he would too.
  All ideas welcome.

  Postage costs seem like robbery to me. Says the man who lost a Zenith Defy in the post - so actual robbery really!

  Could you not have put the watch in a travel case or similar and SD it. The rest by parcelfarce?
  That’s how my Speedmaster came - it’s the one with the HUGE box.

  Re. The discussion about getting dive watches wet. My 2p
  If I had a watch which cost in excess of £2000 I would not be diving with it (Seamasters are double that). I couldn’t afford to lose it in the sea. I have dive watches which I have used in the sea - max value around £400. That is an acceptable loss albeit I wouldn’t be happy.
  I had a Zenith Defy which I put in a pint of beer one night - no issues to either the watch or the beer but there was no chance of losing it.
  I have a Moonwatch and it’s unlikely I will have it on the moon. It was a present from my wife and I look after it and can’t wear it every day due to the nature of my job. Had she bought me a different watch, I would still look after it - ie not wear it every day.

  I think it is common sense. Perhaps if I was a millionaire, I wouldn’t care about the cost but the one with sentimental value would still be kept safe - dive watch or not.
  Some really nice watches on show today - good Friday!
