Re: Quartz Watches - Crown In\Out

Thanks for the comments, guys. Neil, your link to the previous thread was interesting reading. Sorry, I couldn’t find it. Crown In seems to be the consensus. My main bug bear with changing batteries, is the tiny case back screws. Especially on my wife’s watches, minuscule to said the word. Drop one ...

Quartz Watches - Crown In\Out

I’m normally in the Crown In camp for quartz watches. So that they are ready to pick up and go! However, I’ve just had a couple where the battery has died. One of which I changed myself but the other, I took to my local jeweller. Not sure if it’s been discussed before, but what is the feeling among ...

Re: Mun Orion on Kickstarter

Ironically this weekend, it ends later today, I’ve been tempted by this one:- https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1459129282/the-golby-aquareef-automatic-watch-monochrome-collection/rewards A UK brand and a lot cheaper than the Mun Orion. Although because I love the space program, NASA etc I’m temp...

Re: CW and Andrew Morgan Collab??

It’s a nice colour, but goodness me, so many variations now.

Perhaps another change of company name to Bel Canto, who also have a franchise to sell watches by Christopher Ward :lol:

Re: C60 Elite 1000 - Took the Plunge!

I have been away from buying watches for a while now as I couldn't seem to find the right one at the right price and also needed a bit of a cash injection to justify a purchase. Sold a couple of guitars and finally had the cash to start looking. I have been looking for a blue diver for some time an...

Re: Euros 2024

I’m definitely going to try iPlayer and radio commentary tonight, get rid of the awful/woeful BBC punditry. I prefer the BBC pundits to the dreadful ITV adverts. To be honest, I leave the sound switched off until the game begins. Steve, I’m with you in general. Whenever we need to watch anything on...

Re: Euros 2024

I wish we could have stadium/crowd noises only !! I always switch on at kick off and then make coffee etc during the half time. Have you considered, Radio commentary with TV Muted ? Regards Steve Steve, I thought Radio commentary was on a few secs delay? If not, I’ll certainly consider it. Thanks

Re: Euros 2024

I thought France, but we’ll have to see how Mbappe’s nose injury inhibits his performance. Being a bit selective in games I watch, especially with the standard of commentary and also punditry by so called experts. Mute button is so handy, I wish we could have stadium/crowd noises only !! I always sw...

Re: The most beautiful songs?

The Fields Of Athenry by Paddy Reilly

Or:-

Ashokan Farewell by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason. An instrumental but hauntingly moving. This one featured in the incredibly good PBS series “The Civil War” by Ken Burns. In my humble opinion, one of the greatest documentaries of all time.

Re: Watch Tracker App

For balance, I keep a 'Watch Ownership Log' Excel Spreadsheet of all the watches I've bought, own, and sold but, other than scrolling through the CW and non-CW of the day threads, I have no idea of what I wore when and for how long. :-k. :-k Guy Sent from my Galaxy S23 Ultra using Tapatalk I do the...

It wasn’t a link.

Try this, plus there are many comparison charts online if this isn’t suitable:-
