Nice collection. Looks a bit like mine, in that all mine are 36mm black dial three-handers 👍

You could argue that the 'non-bourgeois' watches would have to be digital, or at least quartz - and more likely smart watches. Mechanical watches are an anachronism in 2024 so to choose to wear one...
Nice, I was wearing my one of those yesterday :)
Fatboy for me today 🙂

Funnily enough it was looking at your lovely Stowa in SC that finally prompted me to ‘action’ this idea that I’ve had for a while now!
I’m in touch with MyWatches - I’ll feed back into the thread...
Thanks for this. I’m down south but happy to send the case away. I will get in touch with them.
Do we know of any companies who specialise in case works or modification?
I'm looking to modify a stainless watch case by having its existing lug holes filled (laser welding?) and new ones drilled...
They’ve nailed the shape of the sapphire crystal on this one. It seems to mimic the profile of a proper ‘vintage’ domed acrylic really well. Most domed or top hat sapphire crystals don’t get it...
We tried Pitpat but found it too slow to update. Our Pointer was often hundreds of meters away by the time Pitpat updated. Assume the other GPS/cellular trackers are hampered in much the same way?...
Yes I suppose thicker ones might struggle. I like the bog standard Phoenix-style “as issued” thin nylon Nato’s on mine and they fit beautifully. I do have some Haveston and other canvas straps but...
What type of Nato’s are you trying to use?! I wear mine exclusively on Nato’s and I never had one that doesn’t easily fit.
She might be handing back her gong, but the woman still needs to be prosecuted and jailed. Her statement is f*cking unreal:
The devastation, ruined lives, suicides etc. weren’t ‘caused’ by...
I think those two are very overpriced. I didn’t look at the RAF version but the W10 case is not in great condition and has been ‘worked on’, the crystal is wrong, crown possibly suspect although tbf...
I just bought a Dacia Duster as an interim solution until we are in a position to go ev, or whatever comes next. It’ll be used mainly as a dog-wagon/runabout. Have to say so far I love it! Goes...
I like a manual. You become more involved with your watch.
Ouch!
Great, thanks for the thoughts. I’m probably going to get a Duster, couple of years old. They seem to hold their value well, yet there also seems to be loads on the market.
Unfortunately I need to buy a car. Feels like a really bad time to be buying, especially as I need to get a petrol-fuelled machine. I know that the market was very much in favour of sellers little...
I have some of both ( Red Wing and Danner ) - I would put them on a par in terms of quality. Pretty good, but not amazing.
Just to add to the positive feedback, I’ve just had a watch sorted and serviced by Century. Very pleasant experience - Alastair is very amiable, the job was very fairly priced and turnaround was...
My take is that they are in a fairly unique position as suppliers in terms of breadth and depth stock, and absolutely take full advantage of that position. Shame there are no obvious competitors,...
I just looked at the hits that year and there are so many good records (who said the '80's were shite for music?)! I'll pick this one as errr, it had quite an impact on a 12 year old boy:

Be careful transferring photos out of iCloud and onto a different service. Apple (typically) uses it's own method for tagging meta-data which third-party cloud storage apps won't recognise - causing...
I basically don't believe anything anyone says any more. Up until a few years ago I assumed that most conspiracy theories, including UFO's/Roswell etc where just rantings of a small group of nutters...
This is such a bugbear of mine. No film needs to be that long, it's self-indulgent and verging on rude to expect folk to sit on their arses for that long! If you can't get the story across in an...
