    Show us your TIES

    I have had good experience removing stains with 'baby wipes'. These are like a moist napkin impregnated with glycol and glycerin and such goodies. Only use unscented ones. You can test on a small portion where it can't be seen. I keep a small pack in the desk at work as they are handy for...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!

    Every now and then I have to remind myself that a lot of these nut jobs don't have the equipment to properly consider alternative views. Kinda like my dog not being able to sing like Caruso.

    Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!

    Sounds like a plan, but they are a nuisance. Isn't it how this thread started - one of these guys seeking to raise his profile?

    More information needed on jazz band in film

    TC, thanks for the links. The track is 'Better Off Dead, by Linnzi Zaorski and Delta Royale. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SarQgHv16q4 The film version is more danceable, and the song is its only redeeming feature. Many thanks

    More information needed on jazz band in film

    Mods, apols if this should be in the film section. I'm trying to find information on a band in a film. I don't normally go in for films like 'The Mechanic', however there is an excellent jazz band roughly 10 min in to the feature. Can anyone tell me more about them? Thanks, Talbot

    Buzz Aldrin Strikes Back!

    Interesting concept 'On the taxpayers dime' The firefighter that runs into a burning building deserves no more respect than the person stamping forms at the DMV?

    Advice on a Zenith 18K gold cushion faced watch (circa 1919).

    Flashy How about those pics? Zenith are a premium brand, and appearance and attractiveness can have a lot to do with asking price. Depending on how big the hole is, and where it is, it may be more attractive to potential buyers in original condition. There are so many franken watches out...
