Re: What book are you reading

The places in between by Rory Stewart. a very enjoyable and interesting read about a man walking across Afghanistan. Well worth a read. I need to finish that one. An interesting chap is Rory.

Re: 20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90

I've been toying with the idea as I hit the big 50 last year, but nit seen the magic one yet. Last bug watch was a seamaster for my 30th, but just about to pass that down to my son. Sounds like a prime opportunity to get a new one to me! Agreed, but my desires exceed my purse....at the moment

Re: Is there anything more distracting than a bad review?

…but when the ones you trust say things you don't want to hear, it tends to dissuade me from my purchase (which is both right and wrong i suppose). The catch-22 of reading reviews! I deal with this by always waiting a reasonable amount of time before making any purchases. If I still want it in a mo...

Re: Is there anything more distracting than a bad review?

…but is there anything more disappointing than reviews that burst your bubble. Sucking the fun out of it and tainting the object of your desire. Now granted I don't have to listen to them, or believe them all, but once I read about shoogly bracelets, mineral crystals scratching or time loss i cant ...

Not for me, I actually gave up on it and ordered the vintage oak leather. Tide back in the box where it belongs.
