Great write up. I have an original watch and the book by Jon Wallis. My actual watch features in it.

How absolutely devasting for you. Condolences. I have a little experience of this and it does seem that men are particularly at risk because of the societal expectation that they 'man up', which...
It's always the way. Bad timing for me, the Micra just failed the MOT.
What a nightmare turn of events. Sadly, for Bea, these things are to be expected when travelling with a much older man in perilous physical condition!
I'm in the "if it aint broke camp" on watches. If it's running okay and you don't want it cosmetically faffed with, why go to the expense? I've got watches that are 40+ years old, used sparingly, and...
I think it depends on the depth of your pockets, and then there are two aspects - the money tied up in watches and the money lost flipping. I have quite a bit of the former, but have been reasonably...
Menswear as well, or just watches?

Experience or perception? I've yest to meet anyone who's been on a cruise who didn't like it.
I admit I'm a complete technical numpty, but why is this such a big deal when it was done over 50 years ago with a tiny fraction of the technology that's available today?
Will do
New (to me) submersible and an even newer Toshi strap.

J K Rowling bought MY book.
Mine's about £2,400 and I'm not even covered for everything.
My advice to young folk these days is to only insure what you have to/genuinely can't afford to lose. That's usually just house...
Oh dear. I don't like it that much!
What kind of availability is there on the 5226...any idea? I rather like that one.
I think the question is "fit for what?" What's the definition of fitness?
The top echelon in every sport are "fit" for that sport. But watch a top runner try to cycle, a cyclist try to run, a...
The strange thing is the originals can still be had for less than the reissues...or at least they could last time I looked.
I don't think it was ever established whether he was self-made, but his devotion to public service and the mentorship of young Robin suggests not. I've now dispensed with the £8M I came up with...
Further to my earlier post, I think my first dreams of Millionaire status were even earlier - 1967 to be exact when I encountered "millionaire Bruce Wayne" for the first time. A million in 1967...
Foreman was only 19st when he came back (I think). He was considered huge in his day, but no more than 16.5st when he fought Ali. From momeory, maybe I should check!
Just checked, Foreman was...
I think I first started thinking about being a millionaire round about 1976. I just did a calculation and that's about £7.5M in today's money. So realistically, a "millionaire", as us old folk...
I've been a fan of heavyweight boxing back to the early Ali days. Very difficult to compare over generations, but what we can compare is size. These modern fighters would dwarf those from the golden...
With most fighters, I'm urging them to retire while they're undefeated and still have their faculties. I somehow fear there are greater dangers for Fury in retiring than carrying on. If he can find...
Go for it! Let's see the before and after results. I mean, how hard can it be? Chav-looking types with a face full of metal and wearing baseball caps back to front do it. Don't be discouraged by the...
