Yep. About 6 months ago (and with the mortgage paid and the kids growing up fast) I decided to quit a job I really didn’t like working for a large corporate and go back to what I trained for when I...
For under £1000, I recon you could do a lot worse than one of these.
Come to think of it, on the used market you could probably have one black and one white for under £1K....
Pretty much unthinkable now, and just outside of the OPs time range, but in 2001 I saw this in an ADs window in a shopping centre, walked in and bought it there and then. Don’t get me wrong, I needed...
Hmmmmm that’s an interesting one. I have no clue!! Maybe I should have done that before I used it. Certainly nothing about calibration in the instructions.

Just re visited this thread. A couple of answers to your questions! The one he bought me was the large version - complete with the wooden “wings” a stand, a cover, the cast iron grill as well as the...
Very pleased to find this thread!!
After a drunken argument with a colleague about which is better - my old Weber (had it 10 years) or his Big Green Egg - in a bar one particularly heavy night in...
I think this might be the prettiest watch I’ve ever seen. Stunning.

Ok, so it’s not actually gold, but unashamedly in your face I recon. Picture stolen from internet.

I’ve been pretty much only wearing an old Datejust on a jubilee bracelet for about the last 18 months. I just put on a modern GMT master for a change and it’s like wearing a dinner plate sized...
Knife and fork??
It ain’t that posh. But I will be having chips and possibly peas.

Been a long time since I had cause to wear a suit, but I have a posh lunch today and I think this is appropriate. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220520/2f8b3e144636c57798324abefc91558a.jpg

Excuse the poor photo, but here is a picture of a 36mm DJ with engine turned bezel on jubilee. I have no idea what size wrists I have, but I’m 6’ft 4”, 17 stone and in my humble opinion this is the...
And I’m suddenly a child again looking through catalogue of dreams!! I love the re issue.

Thanks to the replies. I did post an incoming many moons ago on the JLC which gives all of the info I have.
I have attempted to link to it below. I hope it works.

I picked up the JLC many moons ago and I really like the look of it, but it feels a little too small on the wrist and being old I’m terrified of damaging it so it only gets worn very occasionally....
I have a both a blue dialled (Roman numerals), and a silver dialled (tapestry) DJ all be it the five digit versions. It took me a long time to fall in love with the Datejust, I tried kept trying them...
Phoenix. My Mrs wears one daily and to my mind it’s better than anything else. Over the last 7 years or so she’s only on her 2nd one.

As a dog lover I have been following this thread for a while. Growing up we used to breed German Shepherds, at one point having 3 bitches, a dog and 8 pups. When I left home (booted out at the tender...
Indeed I do.

I think it’s this bit that’s the problem - it’s a big old lump of radium that’s not under any kind of screen.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211031/c61c0d67a8a715bc4c6faf03705e91bc.jpg

Thanks all. A fair bit of reading here - so that’s this afternoon sorted! I should point out that I’m not planning on using the compass, it’s just that I’d like to tuck it away (in tact) for the...
OK, not really watch related but I do know that there’ll be a few on here who’ll be able to give me some good advice.

Saw this whilst killing time wandering round Brighton today. Not really my cup of tea, but I’m sure someone could pull it off!! Apologies for the terrible picture - taken through the shop...
