Agreed - the watch guy is almost half that price but parts extra... we will see what the final bill runs out at...

The receipt for £797 was from Goldsmiths dated August 2022 and states a 12 month warranty..... sadly.... from this I am assuming that Goldsmiths do their own servicing or possibly farm it out to a...

Hi.. I have a problem with my Breitling Blackbird. The watch winds, the chrono runs and resets properly and the date turns over as it should from the winder, but the winder doesn't seem to want to...

For me it was 1968 at the Victoria Hotel, Barry where Hancocks (later absorbed into Welsh Brewers) Albrighton was 1/9d a pint. I was 14 at the time and drinking on paper round money so couldn't...

All... Sincere thanks for all your suggestions and advice. I have finally (I know, I know...) made a decision and put a deposit down on a 2009 Triumph Street Triple from a private seller. It's...

Yes, typo...DUH!! My fault.. big fingers on tiny phone... I meant F800S, not F800R and asked if you had any knowledge of that one...
Thanks

Hi... Ive got a big birthday coming up and Mrs B. has allowed me to buy myself another bike... and as we all know this time of year is the best time to buy. All good so far but deciding which to...

Back in the day when I joined (2006 I think) I made a lot of trades, sometimes adding a few quid to the deal and it gave me a chance to try out a lot of makes and models that I never could have if...

Ah... I inadvertently posted in the wrong forum. Thought I was putting it up.in the Bear Pit. Mea Culpa!

Hope I haven't offended/upset/trampled on the sensitivities of anyone.

The Garda are laying the blame for this on 'far right extremists' and also say that they cannot rule out a terrorism connection to the knife attack that caused the riot. One thing they have been...

Not everyone will spot the Mike Bassett quote...

Just a thought... would your insurers just accept the conclusions/recommendations of any assessor or adjuster not appointed by them? Experience with commercial (cargo) losses over the years would...

Not interesting... frightening, depressing, yes... unfortunately!

The original contact to me was via FB message in response to my FB marketplace advert and she wanted my email address "for reference" which started the red lights flashing. So I created a Gmail...

This week someone tried a quite transparent scam on me sending me a forged email purporting to be from RBS telling me funds were on hold for me and would be released just as soon as I sent the...

I have bitter experience with this. The two main issues you will face are firstly getting anyone in the banks to actually believe you, and secondly getting your credit record wiped clean. NIGHTMARE!

Isn't all this just a development of the 'food pastes' that astronauts used to be fed on? Apparently they had all the nutritional qualities required but were developed to minimise the necessity of...

I don't really see any point in GMT watches. I don't pilot an intercontinental aircraft, and since I retired I haven't been further out than Spain. However let it be known that I have four GMT...

Thanks, all. I discovered a Cousins item which I had forgotten about in the straps box and have used that and in all fairness is quite good.

Rob

Thanks, all. As always some great responses . I'll look into the Scurfa as suggested above.

Hi... Not a lot of recent action in the straps forum so thought I'd ask here.

I've bought a San Martin sub-a-like for a holiday watch but the bracelet isn't the best and I want to get a...

I've never understood why they didn't develop this model either..... I'm sure the stylist team would have loved to; it would have had decent sales and created a lot of brand publicity. Probably some...

That's my experience, also. As a family of only two we ended up only buying Branston baked beans and tinned tomatoes by the case but now they only ever seem to have Heinz beans in stock (at least in...

My dislikes..

California Dials... confusing
Panerai...too big and cumbersome

Weak lume.. why bother at all?
Misleading waterproofing...
