I once spent half an hour in an otherwise deserted laundrette with Rolf Harris, in the early 80s. I didn't speak to or acknowledge him, its not the sort of thing you do when you are 18.
Now I...
I'd always factor the cost of a new set of tyres into any second-hand car. You've no idea what the previous owner has been doing with them and given where you are it could have been my...
Is that a cup holder at 4:01?
In the 50 years i've been going to football matches the reason is clear. The game attracts a small but significant proportion of minor but habitual criminals. Chaos around stadiums enhances their...
It seems that they do.
PS I was at Newcastle's last game of the season at home to Arsenal. You would have to be deaf and blind not to understand that the atmosphere the Newcastle support created...
You need your taste buds testing:)

During the pandemic I and, it seems from looking around, most of the people I work with started wearing a smart watch. I haven't stopped neither have they.
The only watch that makes sense in that...
Since the start of the pandemic over 90% of my watch wearing has been an Apple watch and I can see that continuing. One of the reasons I went back to the Orion is that the idea of a "dress" watch as...

The 35mm Orion is the only watch I sold and bought again. At retail each time. I thought it would be easy to find a better three hander, it proved impossible for my taste.
The blue/gold one is the...
Nomos are remarkable in other ways, they even make it going wrong a pleasure:-)

Don't dismiss the 35mm Orion, I remember setting out to buy one of the bigger versions but concluding that the designer got it right first time.

I've responded to a WTB for one of Eddie's Aerowatches without a clear idea as to what its worth. I'm guessing more on the forum than elsewhere?

It is still here, despite a wobble over the summer when I started to wonder if I could ever take it overseas again,

Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that all he best Timefactors watches have been out of production for years. He's doing you all a favour.
PRS-6 still has a lot to recommend it, if you can track one down.

If you fancy a risk.
And now back in the fold.

A service has just been completed on my PRS-6. You might be interested in what is involved.
Nice dial, shame about the date. But an absolute steal at this price.

When it became clear that the PRS-57 was not going to be a hand winder I moved into the happy position of there being nothing in the shop that I want to buy.
I feel blessed.
I think an element of frustration and longing is part and parcel of any good pastime.
If you don't want wait for a watch there are still plenty of options. Goldsmiths, for example, had a lot of...
