It is obvious that underneath our many differences we share a few common traits, that go beyond our interests in horological matters.
So much so that I am sure that quite a few would possibly admit possessing more than one item on this list:
- A middle end watch, Rolex or Omega
- A German motor
- A Barbour Commander, or at least another Barbour or Belstaff
- A fountain pen or at least a high end biro
Anyone care to add to the list (second hand flip flops and underwear excepted)?
Rolex 3 Omega 4 (an away win for Omega there!)
VW Golf
Barbour Sapper
A couple of what would be considered entry-level fountain pens and Lamy rollerballs, so falling short on this one.
As has been said - I am not a number.
Thankfully, I'm not obsessive about jeans or footwear.
Guilty on all counts.
Rolex DJ.
Audi Quattro.
Barbour.
Mont Blanc Fountain pen.
Looks like the stocks for me then.
Hold up, including myself that's two Vespa riders - another trend forming?
Johnny.
Omega - Check
Barbour and Belstaff - Check
Mont Blanc Pencil and Pen - Check
German Auto - Check
I don't have a beard or a vasectomy, so I do feel a little inadequate...
Four out four for me too.
Do we really stand out that much?

I could always ask my dad to buy it for me. Then I might be able to afford lunch out.
I know what expletives my old man would say to me.

And what self respecting TZ’er hasn’t got a torch so bright they can illuminate sleeping crows in the tops of a 200ft tree at night !
Essential to have a tactical torch extra points if it has strobe mode and a compass built in
On another note I really wish it was 2014
3/4. Who writes with a pen and paper these days!?
3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 if you include the mega lumen torch..
Omega & Rolex - check.
Mega Lumen torches - check.
Montblanc fountain pen - no but Sailors, TWSBIs and Parkers galore.
I have owned a BMW and a Barbour... Oh god.
2014 was okay, but rule 3 is "Never go back."

Times have moved on since 2014. Now think;
Creed after shave (or should I say Eau de Parfum pour l’homme)
Tezzler (even if the plastic car seats melt in hot weather)
Ming(ing) watches

Strike-out on all 4, but I do have a very bright torch - 'cos I walk the dogs last thing at night.
List surely needs hilariously-expensive manbags and brand-name shoes in oddly-tiny sizes...
Or is that just SC?
Guilty on all counts! SWuggest we could also now add....
- Super expensive jeans that are like wearing cardboard trousers for the first 3 years and must never be washed
- Natural woollen Austrian slippers
- Tiny shoes and huge jackets
- A motorcycle
No Rolex anymore. Only my late father’s early 70s Speedmaster
Motor (cars): Japanese (2x), Swedish, French
Barbour: yes
Fountain pen: no
If only crocs made brogues I’d be TZ bunny of the week!

I do own some Omegas and a German car at the moment.
Never had a Barbour and have hated fountain pens since school.

Surely a forum toff would be seen carrying a very expensive briefcase, containing his cheese and onion sarnies? A perfect accessory to scream your professed worth when your Barbour covers your ####### (insert expensive watch brand) on your tattooed wrist. ;-)
F.T.F.A.
Good shout so far on the list.
Rolex - check
Omega - check
Barbour - check
Belstaff - check
Motorcycle - check
BMW (same as above) - check
Bright Torch - check
Knife - check
Expensive pen- check
Manbag - kind of, Have a Kriega Sling for the motorbike but wouldn't dream of just using it otherwise.
Brogues- Not a chance
Wife who's lovely but does things that drive you insane - check
TZ certainly has a lot to answer for.
Expensive briefcases, poncey manbags? pfft. I think you’ll find no self respecting tz-uk er would never be seen without their Vintage Norwegian Army Patrol Pack, worn over just the one shoulder naturally.
I might sit this one out today
Should have been an MX5 alloy in the photo!I might sit this one out today
That would require the ability to enter and exit one. I'd probably have to roll out of one
For the true TZ-UK member, this forum uniform would boldly state your impeccable taste. Just add an embroidered TZ-UK logo and you are ready to enjoy the finer things.
No Barbour or Belstaff and too thick to have a fountain pen

O/4, own a Jap 2 seater but not a Mazda, only allowed crayon to write with, no inclination to own a Rolex and still got my old lime green waterproof work jackets for when it’s wet and windy out, Scottish summers!
Clipped onto the belt of a TZ-UK uniform is a 100,000 lumen torch. Who knows what the fook for.
To help look for the residual value in an AP Code.

I do have a Rolex, an Omega or two and a German car. I do have a couple of inexpensive fountain pens but I haven't used them for years. Never had a Barbour or Belstaff. And actually the German car isn't what you'd call impressive (I bought a second hand Up).
It's to look for dog mess to stand in.
The TZer is wearing £500 commando-soled shoes/boots which he's about to put on SC as they're too big/small. It's de rigeur to have a lump of excrement on at least one of the soles.

You don’t need a torch with the light output of a welding machine or small supernova to avoid dog turds.
Has someone mentioned small pocket knife? Incase they get caught entangled in rope .
And for eating an apple.......
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Read my post.
It's not about avoidance.

Jim.
Ah, yes. Damn my skim reading!
Bugger! Haven't got a 'reach the moon torch'
Barbour Beauchamp, yes. Reduced from 750e to 50e. Italy is a pricy country when talking about clothes.
Omega. No. Sold it.
VW golf.
Learnt to write at school with fountain pen, italic nib only, long since gone.
I did wear a uniform at school (1970's). Not since.
Have I failed?
No, there are people here who think it's acceptable to wear socks with sandals.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Maybe just a variety of polo shirts, t-shirts, and LS casual/dress shirts with the TZ-UK logo embroidered or silk-screened.
Guilty. But only for popping out locally
Dressing gown or PJ's?

Jeans to get the take away
Wiley, I cannot work out if you are joking or not!
No way on earth could I do that. I even took my tracksuit bottoms off & swapped to jeans at the weekend to buy some milk.

Genuinely a big fan but only with jeans and never usually with colourful socks. I was only popping to the in-laws but then my wife called asking me to pick up a takeaway.
This or grey is the usual
How about a pet slow worm?
What would the eplelet baggage motif be?
Presumably a large chip 😬
Red Wing Chukkas are firmly on the uniform list.
