Re: Watch Storage

I've done a wee dive on this topic a number times and found no conclusive conclusion. There is the issue of lubricants as Amor Vincit Omnia says, and there is the issue of wear on components over time if you keep a watch wound. Some will tell you that watches are like cars, and you wouldn't leave yo...

Re: Birthday watches

It's great when you can use your advanced old age as another excuse to buy a watch :lol: :thumbup:

I've never fully committed to finding a birth year watch but I do run a '1974' search on Chrono24 from time to time to see what's around. :thumbup:

Re: My new C60 Sapphire is better than my Breitling, Rolex and Omegas

I think you're right that it's in the comparison with other watches that you get an idea of the quality of CW watches. At one point because of timing and this and that I ended up receiving the CW atoll shark white at the same time as another white dial watch (German brand, long history, massive watc...

I remember @bspj saying on an odd occasion that it was a watch he liked to look at on other people's wrists :thumbup:

And here's your daylight shot. I've never taken a wrist shot outside before - this is so embarrassing! :lol:

Re: 50th birthday watch - Schofield The Light / General Purpose Field Watch

I know pete - no worries. You're a proper watchie who likes watches - for other people or for you. I was glad of your thoughts because often we're scared to disagree with anyone these days. And I think you're right - as little as I know myself this one seems to go with me well :D

tikkathree A long and gracious way of saying you don't like my watch Pete! :lol: :wave: You gave me so much to think about in what you said that I had to go away for a while! In a nutshell I don't think it matters what you do in life, but it's better to act in a way that connects rather than a way ...

Awesome. I love your curated choice of three. I'm really impressed that you downsized to this lovely trio - it's not always easy to downsize (I know!). But this is a really great result :thumbup:

Re: 50th birthday watch - Schofield The Light / General Purpose Field Watch

Happy birthday! What a very cool watch! I’m 50 this year also (in May), I know that I’ll be getting a watch for my 50th from my wife, she has told me that, and am very worried about what she might pick. It’s a very personal thing we have in terms of what we like and what we don’t. And if I don’t li...
