I have a couple of watches coming up for service. First off a Glycine Airman 1953 Vintage, this is powered by an ETA 2893-2. Secondly an Omega Seamaster 2221.80 which is quartz.

Knowing he is a...

Budapest. Fantastic city and very inexpensive in comparison to others on your list as regards accommodation, eating out etc.

Thanks for the replies, so it seems the basic package is the way to go with maybe a third party top up insurance but either way cover myself by vetting the paperwork re. existing damage.

I've not hired a car for many a year, I take my holidays in my campervan rather than flying and hiring a car. The campervan is now sold and I find myself possibly needing to rent a car in the UK for...

Diver on leather? I like "em!

A few months ago we were involved in an overseas property purchase, the purchase price was agreed in Sterling and the vendors who, although euro currency residents, requested the funds be paid to...

Looks lovely, as does the watch!

Thanks for the link, just signed up!

I was 12 at the time and followed it avidly, my eyes glued to the reports in the newspapers I was delivering on my paper round! I still have an original flight...

Gorgeous frame and beautiful colour but, as others have said, has to be Campag!

Like the numerals and case/lug shape but I'd like it better without the date wheel and with a solid caseback and about half the price.

Lovely threesome, nice to see something different, particularly in the case of the B&M - I've not seen one before.

I know what you mean about the lack of taper on the bracelet, it's something...

Just left base for a three month european tour and restricted myself to three watches:

Bremont Supermarine 500 on rubber
Omega Speedmaster 3570.50 on leather
Omega Speedmaster 3551.20 on...

I have never been attracted to pure gambling as such but I've been doing matched betting for a few months and I'm a similar amount up to what the OP has lost.

I don't see it as gambling as you...

It's certaily ubiquitous but I've never seen a watch featuring this movement that appeals to me.

Political correctness
Hi-vis vests
Jobsworths
Adele
Chavs
People who spell lose "loose"
People who spell gunwhales "gunnels"
People who say fink instead of think (and other such words...

Sad news, a truly inspiring man who lived a very full life.

I read his biography after watching the documentary, I'm amazed he was never knighted for the outstanding contribution, often at great...

This.

No way would I put fishing tackle on a steel custom build :friendly_wink:

Never had Pernod but I do enjoy "Pastis" as an aperitif and usually make to a mix of one part pastis to four or five parts water and then add ice to taste. It can also be "enhanced" with a small...

I can vouch for Cape Cod on GP - worked for me.

Lovely, and nice to see a solid caseback too.

Still struggling to come to terms with the loss of Bowie and now this, terribly sad and both way too young.

His finest performance, in my view, was as Obadiah Slope in the BBC production of The...

My ex-wife once related this story to me; her parents bought an old coaching inn in a small town in Devon. They took with them my ex-wife's grandmother who was to live in with them.

All went well,...

Lovely quartet, pretty much all bases covered.

I do like that Tudor Ranger, much nicer than the oversize modern re-issue.

Without the watch beng visible it's tricky working out which one is the world record holding cyclist :devilish:

Presumably the ROO in carbon was chosen to save those critical extra few grams .......

Looking at the strap I also thought an IWC Pilot was a possibility.

My son is a big cycling fan and he's keen to know!
