I liked the old scraggy-looking place to be honest.
Have we moved so that the fat singer* that drives UFOs and sucks tits can't find us?

Anyway Happy Christmas to one and all. Here’s a small AliExpress gift from me, to me, a Marine Nationale style strap for my utterly wonderful Glycine Combat Sub.

My new one on the right, new Barton strap on the left and a stand from the cat after it smashed the cover on my case a few weeks ago. The Citizen is a bit of a beast but very comfortable, the Barton strap is really nice I wish I’d got one before.

Lume is good on the Citizen

This is the Avi-8 Chairman I won, my lad is well pleased with it, the mechaquartz movement is cool. He was less impressed with me interrupting him gaming to take the photo…

I don't normally like that kind of strap but that looks "just right", great colour matchAnyway Happy Christmas to one and all. Here’s a small AliExpress gift from me, to me, a Marine Nationale style strap for my utterly wonderful Glycine Combat Sub.

Are you bigging these new digs up in an effort to entice me in?Welcome one and all!!!

It’s not going to happen, I’m telling you. I’m not having you lot being a bad influence on me again. I’ve been a good boy recently and haven’t bought another watch since July, (I bought my daughter a circa-1938 Breguet for her birthday).
I even managed to resist buying myself a Mondaine Stop2Go for Christmas, (although I did place a factory order for a new van on 23rd December to compensate).
Anyway, you lot are a bad influence and I’m not playing with you any more.

Ohhh, that’s nice. I like that. £1 you say? Interesting…..
$1… not sure how much that was in £ in 2010. Not a lot. I bought a timex at the same time, will get a picture. Both from a thrift store in Flagstaff, AZ. The Waltham seems to be running fine.

I started off looking at old Walthams, then seeing if I could get an old Longines Conquest VHP for under £200, then old Russian military watches, then eBay recommend this;

I wonder if it’s possible to get it working again for £125 or under?
I really hope somebody else buys it so I don’t have to.
