Re: Birthday watches

The difficulty with a 40 year old watch is that you might find very awkward service issues at some point. We see these issues with CW who are only 20 years old. Spares for some models are just not obtainable. Movements of CW watches might be replaceable, but case parts and crystals can be more diffi...

Re: Power Reserve, "Stated v Real life"

You should get more than the stated reserve

Ie a PR of 38 hours should be at least 38 hours, otherwise the watch would not be performing as advertised.

Re: Uncomfortable watching for anyone here?

Is this for real? thought TGV had it all under control.
Apart from the TRex videos, and then, lo and behold, the TRex popped up about 2 minutes in. ;D

Re: Leather strap cleaning

I dropped a blob of mayo on a Tribus light tan strap, and that went several shades darker. It quite surprised me at the time, but in retrospect.....

Re: What's your accuracy?

I'm away on holiday this week with 2 C65 handwinds. I'm keeping both wound.

The blue one is 14 seconds slow after 4 days (might be 5 actually), and the yellow LE just 2 seconds slow.

Re: Limited (30 Pieces) Edition of The Twelve - Interest List

Good luck Carter. I am sure you will get the takers for that lovely shade of blue.

Personally, I would just like to see some hour indicators, which i feel would complement the very clean design. :D

Re: Pics from the walkers

We're on the Isle of Wight this week. We happened across the needles today. The lighthouse is about 30 meters tall, roughly the same as the one in Southwold. :D Worth seeing, but only just worth going to see, as Dr Johnson very nearly said. :D The picture is from the National Trust Low Battery, whic...

Re: Crystal and case durability of CW watches

Not just Cw, I don't think I have a single sapphire crystal that looks marked in any way.

I don't baby my watches, but I don't go out of my way to try to abuse them either, and my CW watches still look like new, I would like to think. :D

Steve lives very near me, in Earl Shilton in Leicestershire. Norman Dagley the former world billiards champion lived there as well. A hot bed of sporting excellence. :D
