Cheers, Guy. I’m trying to wear my vintage watches at weekends now that summer is approaching. A chronograph is the best option for timing my twice weekly dalliance with the lovely Lateral Flo!Bahnstormer_vRS wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 8:44 am That's gorgeous Steve.

Time and money? I’ve spent most of mine on booze and women. The rest I just wasted…
