Yes, managed it some years ago. I read it with a study guide (Harry Blamires’ ‘The New Bloomsday Book - A Guide through Ulysses’), else I’d have missed a lot of the context and cultural setting. The...

I believe latest thinking is to wait until after it has flowered in late summer and then apply glyphosate. This is the time of year it’s transferring the most nutrients down to the rhizomes in...

I appear to have the same pocket watch. This one was owned by my great grandfather. This was just after I’d got it...

This guy arrived in Canada yesterday on a flight with 140 other rescue dogs from Mexico. We’ve named him Pedro. So...

If they’ve been in a drawer for years, they’re likely to have lost all of their oils and not even a lengthy spell in a humidor would rehabilitate them. It would be like smoking cardboard. Also,...

This is Reggie.

Yep, I felt exactly the same about the Macallan Gold. Ended up keeping it to serve to friends who wanted a whisky but are clueless about whisky.

Now I want a Damasko like that.

It’s one of my favourite watches. As others have said, it’s versatile and such a clean design.

Here’s what I did as an eco-friendly way to deal with an area of meter-high weeds where nothing else will grow: sheets of cardboard laid down and watered flat, with several layers of mulch laid on...

I have this one - the little contraption at the bottom is suspended by springs and lowers when a squirrel steps onto...

This is as good an excuse as any to repost this.

Shucks, Canuck - that looks rough. Whereabouts are you?

This was south western Ontario on 2nd April:

I know, Mick - but the topic is just for the sake of interest. I’m not worried about value as I intend to keep the watch and ultimately pass it on to my son when I exit.

Straight Sub for me (or, if you’re not too fussed about keeping it strictly correct & original, get the Sub date and swap the plexi for a non-cyclops version). Never been able to get on board with...

Thanks, ed [emoji106]. Was and is for me too.

Again, I have no intention whatsoever of selling, and I’m not ‘worried’ about markets or value.

Oh, and interesting to hear how much more desirable the original insert is, LTF and Wallasey. I do far prefer the looks of my original insert with its mellowed font and bezel pip. I’d be putting this...

It’s the exact same insert in both pics.

I haven’t yet gone down the rabbit hole of different Rolex fonts (and not sure I want to [emoji16]), so I have no idea what you’re referring to here.

As mentioned, I have no intention of selling my watch. Am simply interested in the valuation impact of the service replacement case as I have no idea about this topic. As you say, it’s an interesting...

Been on the sauce?

Just seen Gavbaz’s recent 5513 valuation thread and it’s piqued my interest in the value of the 5513 that I own. I have no intention of selling (though the watch may come in handy as a swap for the...
