I`m not a big football fan but Leeds is my team and I do like to see them succeed, the result at Wembley spoiled an otherwise excellent day for me, didn`t see the match as I was at a Northern Soul...
Correct in theory, can`t do any harm, but there are no guarantees. My core strength is good but age and other factors mean I have to be careful with my back, especially in a morning after it stiffens...
I've suffered with lower back problems several times, usually fixes itself after a few days. Hot water bottle, ibuprofen and paracetamol helped, plus trying to stay active and mobile. A wheat bag is...
+1, sums up my thoughts when I read this. I found it hard to believe that Rolex had developed a movement that had problems and I was very dismissive in a previous post, but it now appears that there...
I restored an 18ct gold Omega Geneve like this approx. 8 years ago, watch looked superb when finished and I was tempted to keep it for my own collection, but the total lack of water resistance put...
I wouldn't do it even if you feel OK, if you were involved in an accident you wouldn't have a leg to stand on (pardon the pun). The onus would be on you to prove that your medical condition hadn`t...
Agreed! On display at Chartwell would be the ideal place for it.
There was a time when I really lusted after one of these and came very close to buying, that's when grey dealers were selling at around £4K.
Only 3 dial combinations work in my opinion, that's...
Nothing wrong with the old designs even though they look a bit basic compared to modern offerings, it should be possible to reproduce the design and have the clasp function as intended, shouldn't...
My dad was in the navy during WW2, after demob in 1946 aged 23 him and a friend decided to keep a pig in the back garden, along with geese and hens. Meat was rationed so clearly it made sense. After...
If it's a conventional clasp its should be possible to adjust the snap action by carefully bending in the right place, I do this frequently on old watches to get a nice clasp action. However, I don`t...
Another example to prove my point, this very afternoon!
Wifey's playing in a bridge tournament, expected to be home around 6. I`m still recovering from the cold from hell so happy to potter about...
I think this applies to lots of classic cars! Being able to do your own repair work is a big plus, can`t imagine owning a classic without doing my own work, even then it's all too easy to spend more...
I wouldn't, here's why:
Apart from the obvious water-ingress concerns, think about how the ultrasonic vibration will affect the lubrication in the movement. Likely effect is that the oil, applied...
My problem with texting is that folks work on the assumption that the recipient will see the message immediately, which depends on the recipient having their mobile phone close at hand at all times....
I rarely communicate by text, I`ve never got into what I call the tittle tattle text culture sending pointless messages back and forth, but what really puts me off is the ambiguity and scope for...
Whatever training or fitness regime is adopted, it's essential to write down and record everything, I`ve recently rediscovered this basic fact. Years ago when I ran seriously I always kept a training...
+1, how did folks do it in the era that pre-dates phones etc?
It's easy to put a programme together based on the equipment you have available, then to quote the Nike T-Shirt........Just Do It.

Having being an active runner for 53 years I have to smile at some of the shoe-related comments on this thread. Shoes need to be comfortable and feel 'right', that's the top and bottom of it, what...
Big difference between working on co-axial movements and the earlier ones. in my opinion a co-axial is far more likely to need replacement parts that can only be accessed by an Omega accredited...
Magnifier and good light required, then engage brain and observe very carefully what's happening. If you can`t see the problem you have to keep looking harder, that's what a repairer would do. It's a...
I tried varifocal contact lenses 15 years ago and couldn't get on with them, vision always seemed blurred, reminded me of having concussion.
If the latest ones are markedly better I might try...
Night Owl- Bobby Paris (Northern soul)
I`ve never done it myself, my wife did it many years ago, but I`ve done the Yorkshire 3 peaks a couple of times and that was tough enough on the joints and feet.
Personally it wouldn't appeal to...
