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

Happy Birthday young Lindsey, may you enjoy this year, the year after that and the many more years to come. What amazes me is seeing watches which I know nothing at all about and being delighted by the differences which exist. I'm sure if I saw this watch on a website I'd pass it straight by as &quo...

Re: Caseback of the day

IMG_5150.jpeg I’m surprised none of these have made an appearance here yet! Do you ever wish thaat the printing was aligned north/south? Then I saw the next caseback and realised that the FLE isn't unique. :oops: Schofield Strange Lights https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240316/c18212f9a7bf2099753...

Re: Spinning rotor syndrome on my FLE: Cured?

Alex, my Oris Aquis had the spinning rotor/reverser gears problem when I first bought it back in 2019. It went away by itself in a month or less and I've never had an issue since. I did not hear a snap sound though, and I never gave the crown a hard fast wind as you described. Neil's comments about...

50% OFF green straps for St Patty's Day

Over at Uncle Seiko there's a discount offer https://unclestraps.com/en-gb?_kx=bKzVy ... uco.Ris4ii
running from the 15th to the 17th.

Your only issue is thinking how many watches you've got in need of any kind of green strap. Dig in boys and girls, dig in!! :lol:

Re: Non CW of the Day

Baltic Aquascaphe Bronze for beater duties in the garden this afternoon. First cut of the grass; I hesitate to use the word Lawn, as it's a bit of a mess right now. Ditto. About 15 minutes before the rain came :thumbdown: :thumbdown: More tomorrow. Still it reached 20.5 C this morning. :clap:

C3 MALVERN CHRONO #4289

During my recent watch box stocktake and audit one of my surprises was to come upon an owner's handbook for a watch long since sold. :oops: :oops:

Do you own C3 Malvern Chrono case number 4289? Send me a case back photo and I'll send you your owner's handbook.

GENERAL BOX STORAGE QUESTION

The time came this month to sort through the growing pile of watch boxes which have been stored in "bosun's locker" format, in other words the longest-owned stuff at the back and bottom of the pile and newest arrivals at the front. Big bamboo coffin boxes and old stylie inner and outer box...

Re: Upgraded C1 Moonglow

Just received email about C1 Moonglow - preorder end March 2024 I’m a bit confused, preorder for end of this month just 17 days away. Sometimes it takes ordinarily that long to despatch. Anyway I would be very wary of paying CW up front these days in light of some recent comments. It’s a pity becau...
