Still sporting full thermals down here in "sunny" Hampshire ... I do make it outside for an hour's walk every day and bizarrely have quite a good facial tan ... probably more wind blasted than the...

From Boots Opticians. I had to ask for them to quote me for glass lenses. They were able to offer some very nice lenses from Zeiss. The dispensing optician was so impressed when he saw mine that he...

I tried the Acuvue Moist Multifocal ones a few years ago. Didn't rate them vs my varifocal glasses so most of the trial batch are still in my bedside drawer LOL.

I've gone the same route as you....

I hadn't heard about this so many thanks for the steer !

Terrific stuff musically - as expected.

A man that takes the art of wearing a simple black T-shirt to new levels of "cool" as well LOL.

Chelsea have 10 players out injured and 7 of them are probably in their best XI.

Arsenal at full strength I think ?

Going to be funny if Chelsea reserves get anything out of this one LOL....

I wouldn't call that cluttered. It's one of the few set ups in this thread that actually looks like it gets any normal use LOL. Extra points for having your watch collection visible and in easy reach...

At least he now knows why Aguero is the one with the statue !

Doesn't help your argument when you can't do basic maths ... :-)

Aguero is 0.67 goals per game ; Salah is 0.63 goals per game.

Your figures are for games per goal !

Can only agree ! I'm amazed there is (apparently) such a huge market for stuff like this.

In terms of aesthetics and practicality, Rolex have totally lost the plot in the last few years ...

OK ... let's have a look how the Liverpool web site classifies him ...

Oh .. FORWARD ... LOL

That definitive enough for you ?

Salah is a forward, so ineligible for a discussion on best PL attacking midfielder. Pretty obvious I'd have thought ...

This might be the first time I've ever seen a Breitling watch that I actually like !

LOL. I think even this goes to show that CWC have made a dial design error :-)

My preference for a funky dial colour for Summer would be the 40mm yellow dial Scurfa D1 at a fraction of the cost !

Always thought Breitling designs look very "90s" ... and not in a good way LOL

Anyone good enough on photoshop to mock one up with the minute track and numbers re-instated ?

Is the difficulty in watchmakers obtaining parts just limited to Rolex and Swatch group ?

Great little collection, and I enjoyed the back story for all, but especially the Steeldive.

Every time I see a 6 watch collection it makes me regret falling down the rabbit hole way beyond that...

Very cool watch !

Continuing the sci-fi film theme, I always liked the Hamilton X-01 as per 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Not enough to fork out the £2-3K now needed to buy one though !
...

Toro Loco from Aldi has been our cheapie red wine of choice for several years now.

Has had a huge price hike in percentage terms like everything else post Covid, but still under a fiver per...

These ultra-runners are hugely impressive, albeit I can't begin to fathom the mindset/motivation for wanting to do what they are doing. The cost in later life for wear and tear on joints etc must...

I can only agree.

The 36/37mm quartz three handers are the only models I even like in the Grand Seiko range, so discontinuing them sadly makes Grand Seiko irrelevant as a brand for me.

Can't...

Sicily is lovely- especially Taormina and Syracusa

I think the remote is the same, just wired instead of wireless.

Anything BenQ is probably the best desk lighting option on the market in my book.

Everything is just really slow on her machine...

I've got the BenQ eReading Desk Lamp which I find a bit more flexible than the screenbar style fixed to the top of the monitor. Highly recommended !

Wife has the BenQ Screenbar Plus on her iMac,...

This is the only IWC watch I've ever liked ! Not enough to actually buy one though, but then I'm not a chronograph guy ... but if I was ... :-)
