I have one of those memories too, Wibbs!

Unfortunately it was f all use being able to quote the Godfather word-for-word, when Paper 2 was asking about Juno and the Paycock and Othello

Faffing about clearing crap in the garden. Semi stylishly. Well for me..



Early 50's Longines "tank" in 14Kt gold. Very good power reserve on this considering the size of the movement, a few days on a wind.

Casio F-91W on a new black nato strap

fulladapipes

Since selling my Speedmaster I've been using my OP39 as a daily watch. Two things occur: 1. It's quite a formal watch for most occasions although I've managed to casualise it generally; and 2. It's going to get wrecked. Not that I'm Action Man or anything, but I know how I roll.

So I went on the hunt for a respectable daily beater, and found this which I picked up today from ex-Galway inhabitant Jordi of WatchesNorte in Spain. It's a 42mm version from 2007 and just serviced, polished, etc. on an Omega rubber strap. I only bought it as the price was (very) right.

Any thoughts?

Wibbs

Fucking lovely. There's a thought for you F.

I was more expecting "you f*cking eejit, could you not have bought a Swatch", so happy enough to take that thought thanks...ðŸ‘

Bargain of the year (in this thread so far anyway) i'd say. Was there much negotiation with them on price? They have some nice pieces on their site

fulladapipes

He offered it to me at a good price initially so there was no real negotiation - I just said Yes please.

Timing was probably important. I emailed him just as he had got that watch in and had sent it off to be serviced etc so I caught him before it even went up on his website.

Speedmaster for me today. Special weekend for NASA.
I haven’t work this in a while. Picture taken this morning with its space pals.

Not to everyone's taste I imagine but perfect for the week that's in it. Saw this band on Instagram and thought it looked class.

OldBean

New watch for myself too, for the day that's in it.

fulladapipes

Looks good to me.

Re the moonwatch...does anyone find the winder awkward? Watched a few videos where they say it can be hard to grip the crown

Anyone got an opinion on the Brietling Superocean II?
I saw a friend's today, and it's left me wondering if I actually really like it?
Or if the dial is just too busy...

I'm an expert in this field, allow me to explain.

Yes mine is almost impossible to wind, So much so I was loosing skin off my fingers. Spent hours on the googleweb and found a solution at £35 from cousins UK. Basically a watch crown winding tool. Cousins site and ordering is a mess so gave up on that.

Then I decided to look around my house for something that would grip the crown so I could wind it and I found the top screw down bit off a BIC pen. Works perfectly and it was free. Give it a try.

Was it black or blue? I think the black looks busier as the contrast between the colors is greater. But on both the 24 hr markers inside the hour markers are just too busy for my liking

Blue with a black bezel, it's left me very conflicted as I bloody really like the blue but his one, it just doesn't hang together IMO.

I’ve never seen that combination but it doesn’t sound like it would be my cup of tea. Definitely wasn’t a heritage model?

I checked with him and he said the model No is A17392.

Today was battery change and seal lube day for my JP3050.
Took the opportunity to run the bracelet thru my wife's ultrasonic cleaner whilst I had it off too

Bit late to the party but watch I bought from Fulladapipes earlier this year:

Rootsblower

Oh man that’s sweet

The new Seamaster today in its natural habitat, under water. Acquired to replace the beauteous Speedmaster that Birnybau bought and to save the OP39 from the vagaries of my carelessness.
