Building on the success of my previous Matalan/B&Q display 'pole' I had a momentary 'lateral vision' whilst looking at a stand with six wooden platters - £4.80 Breakfast Mat Set. It occured to me that, with a few well placed small cup hooks, it would make a good filing/storage/display for my (ever growing) collection of pocket watches.

Result ............... (excuse quick and dirty flash shots) ........................... to_become_senile.gif







All I need now is two more stands to use the other platters, or some hooks on a backing board, a sort of coat hanger for watches .......... mmmmmmmmmmm



Good, innit ? The involvement of Lidle and B&Q is fully acknowledged notworthy.gif

Compulsive behaviour is a symptom of Parkinson's, so I can't help collecting watches ;-) - but then, so is drooling :-( .
