    Same here!

    Love the Embassy - he won the contract to design a line to be used in British embassies across the world in the early 60s

    Yes, I had read that.

    Go for it being a turn of phrase, rather than specific advice to make a purchase.

    Go for it, OP.

    Life is for living indeed. Not everyone wants to drive a Tesla or a Volvo.

    Ignore the negativity. If you like it, then that is all that matters.

    We had a similar experience and it was a fractured supply pipe under the drive.

    I could hear it at night when I was in the bathroom and the rest of the house was quiet.

    Be careful with the suggestion of an M3 with the S65 V8 in it.

    I know that the IMS bearing in the 996 and early 997 911s causes potential buyers anxiety, but the potential for the S65 to lunch...

    Thank you.

    I dropped Keith a PM. If I could potentially separate the case refinishing and the service, that would work for me.

    Hi Simon

    If you recall, I bought your MC from you and I foolishly let it go. I have hankered after another but seemingly did not know the option that you took with STS is no longer available.

    Omega Mega Quartz Servicing

    Hi All

    I wondered if anyone had recent experience of getting either a Marine Chronometer or Constellation with the mega quartz movement serviced?

    Do STS still do these or is it Bienne only?

    I listened to the Quad on the L82s before I bought it at Vickers in York. I was swung by the additional tone controls on the Leak, and the more attractive (to me), packaging of the Leak.

    Now sadly gone, along with the E63 M6.

    As is the house.

    I would have another E30 in a flash, however, the one I regret moving on was my E24 635CSI. I only appreciated how good it was on the...

    This is the answer.

    Faced with the same choice a few years back, I turned a dusty, spider filled hole into something much brighter by getting my decorator to splash the white.

    STS took a month to change the battery on my Speedsonic.

    Given it eats through them every 12 months, I thought having it away for one month out of every twelve was a bit excessive.
