I've always thought that these offer tremendous value in a tool watch, and for something to bash about in, do the digging, demolish houses, or even dive I guess, they are spot on. Looks wise I...

This pretty little Oris that I wear quite often, and an old Tallis boutique diver that rather needs a service....

Not sure about the Orient, but I've been wearing my 007 for the last few weeks and did notice on occasions the heftiness of the watch head, particularly on a jubilee, and have just swapped to a much...

Thanks Neil, I'm now going off to torture myself with something that I cannot afford!

Yes, that is a lovely thing. Out of interest, which Mk/model number is it?

This is something that makes me wince and can even put me off a watch, a strap with a boa-like grip on a pudgy wrist.

Got mine in exactly the same strap, one of Eddie's excellent orange bonds. Good choice that man!

Took your time!

Thanks for that, a good quality beater at an amazing price, had to order one!

Yep, just reading into this and it looks complex but achievable. What is quite promising is that I am nearly doing this already, I just need to cut the carbs out as I eat too much bread, and check in...

Ryan, I'm very interested in the idea of a keto diet, but have not followed this entire thread, so I'm not aware of what a keto diet involves, apologies if you have already posted it or links to it,...

Make sure you get all the tags and warranty card? [emoji38]

That harks back well to the original, though the snob in me screams that the original is better, if one could be found.

If you want to know more about the stuff, google 'radium girls', there are a few interesting articles and someone has written a book. The photos are quite gruesome.

That's quite probable, but in the aspect of being a helpful forum, it would be good to try and answer these questions so that they are collected in one place possibly? Plus my interest is piqued!

Possibly someone's initials, and they came from Godalming? Being a silver trench watch, most likely to be an officer, particularly with that many middle names, so I did a search of the online...

The Hamilton send to have a clarity and unfussed look that the Breitling somehow lacks. I prefer the lugs and bezel on it too.

Here's mine, relaxing with some mates... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190223/af805e9f8af19b5b278a73b63748e3ac.jpg

Yup, did that with mine too, Polywatch saved the day!

Yup, just got one. I was going to sign up for the kickstarter, but when it happened I could not commit. I know it is now a bit more, but as observed by Ewan on the Facebook page, he is actually going...

Thanks for the direction to that one, I had not spotted it first time around, what a complete epic! Got there in the end though, total cliff hanger.

For me, 600AX was a triumph of form over function, and it never really lived up to its more conventional stable mate, 600EX (which incidentally was what eventually became Ultegra). In ditching my AX,...

I built my first proper race bike with a custom frame and the 600AX groupset in 1984, and raced it like this in the local crits. The hubs were shit, so I had some custom wheels made with Campag...

Looks like someone took your advice!

I'm totally with you on that one, I suppose it has some charming back story or other, but I'm so ambivalent to it, I cannot even be bothered to educate myself on the origins!
