With heavy heart I accepted that at age 65 I was never going to free-dive, sail a yacht, fly an aeroplane, explore unseen jungles or drive a racing car. So that’s a few bucket-list items I could...

I appreciate your thoughts about the Skydweller. I think that all the pricier higher-end models have something to offer, some more than others, and they’re pretty much all gorgeous. But funnily...

A while before the virus outbreak, I had a look at my watch collection and asked, “do these give me any real pleasure?” The first that failed the test was sold, then the next and the next. I gave my...

Sad. Didn't know he'd gone. I have a couple of his albums on vinyl. I shall spin one now.

I bought an aftermarket stainless steel deployment clasp for my omega PO from eBay. If I recall, it was £20. The omega version was around £150, I think. The eBay buckle was a smidge larger, but it...

Just been paying around with our Amazon toy and it appears that I may have erred. The Watchmaker's Apprentice was accessed through the Netflix portal. What a complicated world!

One of our Christmas presents to ourselves was a subscription to Amazon Prime. Not bad value and we have enjoyed the bodice-ripping 'Outlander', filmed not far from where we live. Last night I was...

My stainless steel, 42mm on leather strap arrived a couple of weeks ago. I use it while cycling to run Strava and give me mileage and speed. I use it in the gym connected to Bluetooth headphones so...

Lovely looking watches, but do you think that these wrist appliances which only show and measure time will ever catch on?

I'm not sure how many of us are contemplating buying an Apple watch. As a gadget addict I'll be one of the first in the queue. Not for the gold one of course, but the sport version doesn't seem...

Seiko's, Omega's, Reverso's; the apostrophes look ridiculous on my girly wrists.

Thanks for these helpful responses. I have been in touch with Jon Vincent in Hamilton who do indeed have some Junghans watches and I will pop in to see them tomorrow. It is also a repair shop so...

I have been looking at these as a solution to my desire to have a 'business' type watch. The chronometer and the automatic both look lovely. I know they are available from several sellers on-line,...

Yes, I should have been clearer about what I meant by a 'business' watch, but the Dornblüth 99.1 (which I haven't come across before, so thanks for that) pretty much sums it up.

After wearing exclusively 'dive' watches for the past 15 years, namely an Omega SMP and then an Omega Planet Ocean, I decided to look for a 'business' watch. I'm sure that this point has been made...

If you do a search you'll find that the terms are used interchangeably, so I don't think it's sufficiently cut and dried to get peevish about. I rather agree with you, but in this case the seller...

I'm too inept to create a link but if you paste this into eBay search it should come up.

DEPLOYMENT BUCKLE CLASP FOR OMEGA PLANET OCEAN 18/20MM #7

...and for the pedants amongst us, note the...

I decided to return to using only the stainless steel bracelet for my PO and put my two rubber straps and the deployment buckle up for sale. One of the straps didn't shift which made it pretty much...

Great to see vinyl being kept alive! Collecting LPs can be a hoot and needn't cost the earth. Many high street charity shops have a box of cheap LPs for as little as 50p each. Records can usually...

I have a pair of lovely 1970's (I think) mechanical Adrem jump hours. Both were running when I picked them up (very cheaply so they don't owe me 'owt), but they have now stopped ticking. Does...

I bought the blue one last week from the SC at a very attractive price. I had tried it on in the new boutique in Glasgow comparing it to the Bond version and my own Planet Ocean. I have to say that...

This opened yesterday in the former, rather dingy, premesis of Goldsmiths on Buchanan Street. What a pleasant surprise. Lovely bright, modern interior, friendly staff and lots and lots of Omegas to...

I thought that one of the tenets of Buddhism was to master forbearance, not to test everyone else's to breaking point. :|

These are people with only enough brain power to drive their legs and the intelligence of a rice crispy. I cycled to the pub a few weeks ago and came out to find that someone had smeared the remains...

Lots of good advice here. I stopped my 14 a day habit nearly four years ago after 35 years, 15 of which had been spent trying to quit. Two things made it work this time. Firstly I used a bit of...
