A sterile 'homage' (thinking I may sell all these anonymous homage type watches, for some of them I have a superior version or the real thing).

You'd think this nato had been made for this watch
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d37d8cb2_o.jpg
not too shabby at all.. a nice match
I thought so. What did you think of the San Martin?Quote:

The San Martin is a quality timepiece. It spits out style. That golden Invicta is quite nice too with a black nato
This might have been talked about previously, so apologies if it has, but having done the usual tricks to clean my steel Rolex Explorer II, it was looking rather grubby, and very lightly scratched in the great sunshine of late.
I’d been warned against using stuff like silvo etc, even though it used to clean up my bi metal Daytona a treat.
So what is this marvel I’ve discovered?
Toothpaste!
I was actually gobsmacked after I’d cleaned my watch with it, and would highly recommend it’s use!

Better look at the Spinnaker this time on a cloth strap
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a013aa29c1.jpg
nice strap. it suits the watch well.
First 'Edifice'

nice stylish black face. good
Yes - I like it, very stylish. And Timex are (or used to be) "So on trend". My first watch was a Timex.
a lovely example that roy.
Great value for money the Orients as are SteeldivesQuote:

Two options for the day ahead (although I'll probably end up wearing something completely different :D )
Bit of bed shopping (aren't they expensive!), trying to cut a deal on a Hypnos, might have lunch out, then seeing a man about some bespoke wardrobes.

My Dad would drag me and my brothers to Football games from a young age.
He always advised me to be unbiased. Thus we watched my Coventry City against Brian Clough's Nottingham Forest.
I found the game confusing. Couldn't tell one Forest player from another. They all looked exactly the same. :scratch:
Turn's out Brian Clough sent the whole team to the same Barber,
He had no time for individuality, it's all about the Team. And winning.
Anywhoo, what Dad pointed out to me at Half-Time, was Nigel Clough of Forest had an excellent first touch. No, I am a bit vague on first touch myself. But it's about control.
Back on-topic, I did predict 2-1 to England here. Quite honestly we might toss a coin on England vs. Italy.

But my 6-1 bet on the Macaronis is looking good.
Good story & COME ON ENGLAND!Quote:

Don't know how that happened.
Chap is not dressed without a wristwatch, IMO.
But has anyone noticed, as I have, that batteries only last 2 years now. They used to last 5 years.
I suspect a conspiracy to defraud the Public. FWIW, Rotary and Ben Sherman here. :lol:

I (obviously) wholeheartedly agree.Quote:

For analogue type quartz watches I crown pull them, effectively switching the watch off.
A chap is not dressed properly without a pocketwatch old chap ;)

My experience of wristwatches is limited.
I know my Dad owned a solid 22 carat Gold Omega wristwatch. It was unclear what happened to it after he died.
Somebody ran off with it. :lol:
Believe me, I'll catch up with them one day.
Anywhoo, Dad flied us all off to Switzerland one Summer. Arosa, IIRC. Took us to the local wristwatch Shop. The Swiss are tremendously good on time.
I was smitten with a watch called "Jaggi". Maybe with an umlaut over the A. It had a crocodile band. Very classy IMO. Dad bought it for me.
A good timepiece. But similarly disappeared. I suspect I forgot about it when my lovely sister bought me a self-wind Rotary with no hour markings at all.
Now I know who stole that one. But have forgiven them. But it was a thing of loveliness.
Apropos battery replacement - it is my belief that with any battery powered device, the battery initially fitted will alway last longer than any subsequent battery.
Some makes of battery last longer than others, as well as having different mAhour rating. Also avoid any batteries that are made in China - most of them don't last five minutes!
When it comes to watch batteries, I go to Timpsons (the shoe repairers and key cutters) and pay a bit more to have a lifetime battery replacement service for each of our battery-powered watches.
After experiencing a few scratched back plates I replace my own batteries, appropriate tools and decent batteries can be had for pennies on ebay.
Timpson have all the appropriate tools, and I have never experienced a scratched back plate. Mind you between my partner and me, we only have about a half dozen watches that need batteries.
Having in excess of 50 quartz watches I wouldn't want to be bothered with a visit to Timpsons every time one died (don't even know where my local branch is?).
More often than not I already have a battery that will fit (they're so cheap on ebay and often sold in multiples).
Different strokes...
