Lotta good advice on here.

Bottom line: leave the good stuff at home.

I just got back from Europe/UK and subsisted with a couple of Seikos: a SARB035 for evening and a SKX007 with 12 hour...

Actually, Orient USA is the official Orient service center in the US. I also tried Orient in Japan. They wouldn't touch it either.

Because my defect (a broken canon pin) popped up after 30 days...

The problem with Creation Watches is its nonexistent customer service.

I bought an Orient Star from them 2 years ago (yes the price was very good) that arrived defective.

Problem 1: despite...

"Local Hero" - may be Mark Knopfler's best work other than the first Dire Straits album.

Melodic, haunting, gorgeous.

Same here - I had that model and my Dad and I built that thing in the middle of the living room. Seemed like it was about 4 feet tall as I remember. Came in a HUGE box.

I was a total...

For me, it was "All British Invasion, All the Time".

My sister was 13 when the Beatles hit and after 1964 it was all over. Fab 4, Stones, Who, Kinks, Pacemakers, Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Hermits,...

I don't expect most salespeople to know as much about watches as I do but . . . . consider this exchange at a local chain jewelry store. I was in there looking at an Omega Planet Ocean.

Her: ...

Stuart, try Panatime. http://www.panatime.com/natostraps.html

I have pretty small wrists myself and their NATO's don't require a ton of of folding on the back end. As an added bonus, they are also...

I just bought a Longines 39mm Conquest auto and love it. Built like a tank and has 300m WR. Dressy enough for a suit but casual enough for everything else. And I suppose with 300m WR, it would...

Mine says hello.

I agree 100% - Lacos fly a bit under the radar as a rule. Our 36mm models fly under it and then loop back for another run. Fliegers tend to run big (easier to read on that night bombing run into...

Jon, I have the Laco Salzburg, which appears to be the "Osaka" with a SS bracelet. Same size , same movement. I am very, very happy with it - keeps much better time than my old Speedbird (which...

"Runaway" - Del Shannon.

"My Sweet Lord" - George Harrison.

"How very American".

Screw you, buddy.

You know, I've always believed in forgiveness and moving on but . . .

Well, after visiting Pearl Harbor over the holidays and talking to a Pacific War vet (a 90 year old Iwo Jima Marine) about...

Congrats on the new Omega! Always wanted one of those. Great pick up.

Oh yeah, cute baby too . . .

I have an irrational attraction to GMT and world time watches. Don't know why - if I leave the continental US, it means my plane has been hijacked.

But regardless, I have had several GMTs: 2893s,...

Assistance! I require assistance! A particular type of assistance! You're aware, aren't you, that I require someone's assistance?

Assistance!

Have loved my visits to Germany but . . . I like where I am just fine and wouldn't trade.

I sincerely hope your movement was "Elabore Grade".

As an American, I find it interesting that so much of the recommended stuff is from the USA.

When I was growing up, it was generally acknowledged that American TV was utter trash ("rubbish" as you...

Oh man, I feel for you. I'm not sure I could not take that little guy in.

We took a stray in last year and he has added much to the home. And while bonding with the dog wasn't immediate . . . ...

Went to a Wal Mart (your ASDA) at 3:00 am once to get cough medicine for my kid.

Horrifying.

Eddie, try "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. Right up your alley.

Also, Trevanian's "Shibumi" is a classic.
