1971 silver racist
Filson do a nice small canvas/twill backpack, I got one a couple of years ago - it was in a sale, maybe discontinued but can recommend the brand anyway.
Very thick material and simple...
That was a good read thanks for posting. Pretty neat niche business really.
It is a bit of a contrast yes, I was looking for a decent original bezel insert but lost interest as they all seem battered! The case refurbishment was 300 Euros but add postage and tax to that. I’m...
I agree if it’s a family heirloom or where the history is known to me, some time in the history of this pogue unfortunately was an attempt with emery cloth or similar.
I had my yellow dial pogue refurbished by a guy in Poland Called Lapinist. Thought I would share my experience with his service - He mainly seems to work on vintage grand seiko watches but was happy...
Still breaking these in really as I don’t wear them often, Red wing iron ranger, no nonsense brown leather boots!

I have a mountain equipment goretex pro, it’s like some weird space age material that keeps you warm and dry without being over hot or sweaty, it’s also very thin and super lightweight. Does have a...
Drive up to Rhayader then take the elan valley mountain road, this leads to the hafod estate which has some good walks. Devils bridge is worth a visit, strata Florida if you like old ruins. Take some...
There are two sizes of stressless reclining armchair, or was when I got mine many years ago - the bigger one I prefer but both are super comfy, also definitely get the footstool! Also be wary of no...
Stressless plus 1

Minus - have likely been used hard on site on a daily basis and battered, or stolen, or ex hire equipment (battered and neglected) the transformer weighs a surprising amount to carry around.
Plus...
I did yes, I was thinking his work might be overkill on a humble pogue but it will get worn a lot more once it’s done.
Not sure what you mean by Japanese auction sites? Like eBay Japan?
It’s ok seen a whole lot worse ! but I went down an online rabbit hole of the zaratsu polishing technique and ended up wanting it sharp and polished up
I hadn’t read that, have already sent it a week ago and I’m expecting a very long wait - so we will see.
It seems like a minefield of opinion on the re finishing, mine is in reasonable condition...
Are they correct for a 1974 model? Do you have a shop online
I probably wouldn’t notice, thanks for the tips
Ah - it’s in Poland now, for the foreseeable future !
I’ve had a Google and a bit of a search on ebay, I don’t really know enough to know if the one on it is correct - it was claimed to be all original when I got it from here a while back, so assumed to...
I have a 1974 yellow pogue which I have sent off for the case to be restored, it has a couple of scratches on the glass so would be good to get a new one fitted at the same time.
Any one know where...
Absolutely - love my longines heritage military 1938
Shame it’s a bit too hot and sweaty for a leather strap at the moment!
...
I went to a jeweller and compared the 58 to my older 41 with the eta moment, there was little difference in size and feel to me. I was quite surprised as I was expecting them to be very different....
Thanks, I will call an authorised dealer and see what they say, I’m never in London due to being a bumpkin!
I’m looking for the screws for a Tudor Black bay 41 eta bracelet, they seem available on eBay but would prefer proper ones…any one know where I can get genuine ones.
Or maybe the eBay ones are ok?...

Here is my Longines on wrist, the lug length is relatively short so isn’t as large as it could be - 8 inch wrist. I...
