Interestingly, the yellow is not lume, it is just there for colour. There is no lume on this dial, which is OK for me as I am not bothered about lume. Usually my watches do not see enough daylight to...

If you mean the red tipped hand, I don't think that is the seconds hand, but the 60 second counter for the chronograph. The seconds hand is in the small sub-dial at 6 o'clock, with the date crammed...
I agree about removing the date; I generally don't like date complications: they are often too small, and I don't use them anyway to check the date, so it is just something that is a hassle to change...
Not only do I keep the manufacturer’s watch box, but I also keep the online supplier’s outer box too, although recently I have started to think that is going too far, and may get rid of them once I...
I have had a few MRIs, including a 50 minute one this week. I don’t get claustrophobic as such, but I am not a fan of the noise - even with earplugs and ear defenders I still find it very loud. I...
One hole to rule them all, one hole to hold them
One hole to bring them all, and in the forum told them;
In the Land of TZ where the watches vie.
I have got the bracelet properly and evenly sized now for my 17cm wrist; I had to remove 6 full size links (3 each side). The bracelet also has 4 half links; I may need to remove one to get the fine...
Yes, the removable links are only on one side/one half of the bracelet, so if you remove those links the two “arms” of the bracelet would be very uneven lengths. The official photo shows this...
I have just got this bracelet from Farer: https://farer.com/products/integrated-metal-bracelet-for-gmt-three-hand-and-quartz. It says it fits wrists 16-23 cm; I am about 17 cm, so I need to remove...
Allotments are generally owned by local councils, and they are under a lot of financial pressure; they get some income from allotment rents, whereas parks are generally a cost, especially to create...
It is worth noting that in the UK, the “garden” (next to a house) is what would be called the “yard” in the USA, and “gardening” is probably more about growing plants for display, and mowing the...
I think it is a case of “you get what you pay for”, because £7200 is not a lot for a full size sculpture, unless it is whatever this is meant to be.
Got it on PC the other day, but I gave up after the first tutorial - it was just too twitchy, too much constant time pressure to push the right button. I played an earlier version a long time ago,...
On my BT Freeview box it is a lot, lot quicker to start the playback of a recording than to wait for the relevant app (IPlayer etc) to load up and start playing. Also it is quick to set a whole...
Rotary dial phones can work with tone dialling, and there is a bit of a market in vintage rotary phones that have been converted to tone dialling; also you can get reproduction rotary dial phones...
I don’t think my testicles will ever descend again.
Yes, probably over-proved. You want the loaf to rise significantly in the oven - about a quarter to a third again; in other words, don’t prove it until it is the final desired size, but leave room...
I had mine under general anaesthetic so I was not aware of the procedure at all; I think some are done using local anaesthetic, which I would not fancy, but I guess that it is not too bad. I was...
As well as Clarkson's general health, I was also worried about how much driving he and May did with the top down, in that desert sun! Clarkson has already had a cancer scare, he doesn't want to add...
Yes I think you are right. I was looking at this watch on the Withings web site yesterday. The subdial is black rather than the blue I remembered, maybe the blueness was a trick of the light, or...
Similar to that portofino moonphase, but the sub-dial was a solid blue circle, and I think the batons were smaller. So, a minimalist white flat white dial with thin hands.
I saw someone wearing a watch today that I really liked the look of, but I was unable to find out what make it is at the time. Can anyone here please offer any suggestions based on this information:...
I bought a lovely custom made, burr walnut 10 compartment watch box from FishAndFather on Etsy, for about £350. Excellent quality and great service. His standard 10 compartment box only has burr...
I don’t do a lot of printing with my Epson ECO Tank, so sometimes it can be many weeks between uses, but it will generally print fine. I have had to use the head clean function once or twice, when...
Yet another vote for Epson Eco Task - I bought an ET-2650 in 2017 for £150 new, and I have never had to top up the ink tanks, although I don't do that much printing. It also scans and copies. As I...
