    Enigma

    Antiques roadshow had an interesting episode the other week, where a member of the public presented a u-boat chronometer. It was from U-571 and was owned by a descendant of the commander of the Enigma raid who acquired it. Handed down. Needless to say the owner valued the provenance and didn't...

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    I must admit, I really admire those big guys lucky enough to be able to move gracefuly. Jackie Gleason comes to mind.

    Fountain pens - ostentatious?

    Straight from pencils to laptops in schools these days I'm afraid.

    Fountain pens - ostentatious?

    In a meeting just now, sitting next to my boss. "Quick, somebody give me a pen!" He grabs my Cross Century sitting in front of me, takes off the cap and takes one look at the nib. "What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with this?" He hands it back to me, puzzled. I'm still...

    Interesting thread. I'm in the market for a similar style thing myself.

    My brand new shiny HH jacket via washer and dryer

    I'd be interested in how the RM williams stuff works also. I have used Liddys on saddles and boots etc with OK results . I've also tried Pecards on vintage horsehide and was extremely impressed. Don't know how it would stand up to mustering, but the leather just seemed to glow afterwards. I'll...

    Just found an advertisement for a 1958 Universal Polerouter with the Microtor Automatic movement. They advertise a 2 day power reserve. T

    Interesting. Most Rolex's I have seen are 19mm across the lugs. 17mm will be tricky to place - prolly notch an 18mm strap. T

    I really enjoy the lounge as is. Having said that, I often wonder what a dark gray background would look like instead of black. Thanks all. T

    do you ever go to restaurants by yourself?

    When travelling I pretty much do room service unless being entertained. I don't enjoy the solo restaurant experience I'm afraid. Plonk me in a cafe with a good book and I'm happy.[huh]

    car colors...

    Mine is Skyline Horizon Blue and India Ivory, but I'm leaning towards Tunisian Turquoise and Seafoam White in the future.

    Circa-1949-1952 Pontiac sighting

    Judging by the condition of the sidewalls, looks like a well loved survivor to me. At least I hope so...

    I have been told to wind watches only once each day, and do it slowly so you can feel when it is close to fully wound. Glad the long wait is over.:) T

    Agony isn't it? I must admit to not having seen an Essex before. Nice blue steel hands. The more I look the more I like. My Super Oyster is a bit unusual in that the crown is not a screw down unit like yours (and most others I have seen). My watch guys tells me some American manufacture...
