Times are quite interesting now. Market seems to be quite jittery at the moment, so I've stuck most of my money into some bond funds, after holding onto cash for quite a while after selling equities....
It's all about vintage! Finally got round to taking a picture of my main collection. Doesn't have a few others I have lying around and those in rotation at the moment. I'll save the inks and...
At the moment £10k would be my limit, I'm after a new watch and so far that is the highest I am considering.
Urgh, this has just happened to me too after I forgot about the wool setting on the machine and washed on delicate instead. Silly mistake. After I realised my mistake I tried to stretch it out whilst...
I have seen some Sterling engines at Boehm and Sterling, these looked even more complicated than the ones from Kontax. They would look great on the desk, but don't look like they will provide much in...
General consensus seems to be that it is on the large side, and some mixed opinion on the styling as well.
Similar experience, I liked the other grande tributes as well but because of the flat...
I have the Mojo and while fantastic for headphone use while on the computer and portably with the phone, I would say it is not suitable for a home hifi setup as there is only a headphone output.

I had the wonderful chance to view some of the new watches that JLC are releasing, and one of them is the Reverso Tribute Duo Moon. I love the details on it: silver pebbled dial, hand hammered moon...
I've seen the 15202 and it looks great, to me the best Royal Oak. Too bad the second hand prices aren't any better than RRP so it remains out of budget.
To be honest I don't think most people would recognise brands like Patek or JLC. As for Rolex even I once mistook a friend's Seiko skx009 with a GMT whilst having dinner.
Having just discovered the Seiko Spring Drive myself, this thread is quite interesting. The marriage of a mechanical system with that of a quartz crystal, reading up about it I find it really quite...
Been thinking of getting a vintage Rolex GMT, and one of the factors in the decision is that it is likely to hold their value better than a new watch as I have been burned before when selling. Only...
Same here. In the spirit of watches I call it panda coloured, but really I bought it because it looked like a storm trooper, especially with the high gloss white.

Hope you enjoy it :smug:
This is getting into dangerous territory now as entering a hall full of stationary aficionados with thousands of pretty pens may tempt you to empty your wallet...
They released a beautiful re-edition of their old 1910s hard rubber pens and have to say I was, and now that I think about it still am, very tempted by the coral red version.

Prices on penhome look to be on the high side of things. There are quite a few on here http://www.penamie.co.uk/html/parker/parker.html, par624 looks particularly nice with the more decorative rolled...
Very nice, nearly got one a few months ago, but now I have my heart set on the similar style Nomos Metro.
If I had it I would stick it on the mesh or a cordovan strap.
The Parker 51 is a great vintage pen to have, especially for daily use. It was very popular at its time due to the unique design and there are plenty knocking about, so you can easily get one for...
For brands that didn't have much of a history of in house and only recently decided to develop them (e.g. IWC, Panerai) I would prefer an ETA movement. Similar to Speedish I had a watch with an in...
They make very nice straps and the experience is quite something. Found it quite a bit of fun to design my own strap in store and taking a look at the options available for leather, thread, sizing,...
I have had a look at the non-date version of the Club, something about it is very nice especially in the metal. I also imagine that it is quite a versatile watch, a bit dressy a bit sporty.
If I...
Jeremy Collingridge did a great job on my Parker 51, a very knowledgeable person who really loves fountain pens, if you do a quick search he is regarded very highly.
I prefer JLC, styling is more elegant and understated. I find IWC's too large and am contemplating selling the IWC to get a Reverso. Though mention of issues with JLC's servicing does make me...
