    Purists aren’t keen on the 4:30 date window but if you had it in the usual place you’d lose the numeral 3, which balances the face nicely.

    You won’t like today’s timepiece Barry

    Oh I don't know - assuming you have a matching car!

    Here's my Speedmaster. It's what they call 'pre-moon' in that it's the same reference that went to the moon but it doesn't have the moon inscription on the back. Bezel and hands are service replacements (and pushers and crown for all I know), but I like it. 50 years ago, who would believe it?

    Unfortunately not but don’t think they make a Renault Clio watch.

    I've just ordered one of these, it should be here in the next couple of days. I wanted something nice but not too expensive so I don't have to be too precious about it. It'll be my daily wearer.

    Very nice! Speedmasters are really interesting. A great heritage, and timeless design (no pun intended).

    Nice one Rich. I have a Monaco but fancied a second Tag, maybe a Carrera?

    This accompanied me on my weekend away -



    and this was an eBay purchase waiting for me when I got back -

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Like the skeleton strap watch Grant, strikes just the right balance between being decorative & still being able to tell the time. I have a Fossil skeleton but it’s not as elegant
