Re: Your favorite C60/61 colour combo?

A sort of Blues Brothers trio, you might say.

Re: My favourite CW watch (and anniversary suggstion)

A few things to say here, Paul. 1. That is a really lovely collection - congratulations. 2. As you might expect, the little JLC stands out for me. 3. I think your idea for a 10th anniversary piece is very appropriate. I had the gold cased C5, again with a lovely (SW200) movement. I moved it on after...

Re: RLT Watches

I belong to their forum "The Watch Forum", but there is nowhere near as much discussion of RLT on there as there is of CW on here. I must confess I've not been tempted by them, and I even have to look on the website to see which watch they're referring to!

Re: Why do the British say maths instead of math

One reason is that in Britain accent is often seen as an indicator of social class.

Re: Britain vs Great Britain vs United Kingdom vs England

Ah yes, Handegg. We call that Rugby, though there are a few subtle differences, such as not wearing tin hats or stopping the game every 5 seconds for a commercial break. Incidentally, the USA, along with Mexico, often does qualify for the World Cup. To achieve this remarkable feat they have to beat ...

Re: Britain vs Great Britain vs United Kingdom vs England

Another important difference, as you will see later this year. England traditionally loses the quarter-final of the football (soccer to you) World Cup, amid national recriminations and calls for the public execution of the coach, though interestingly not of the second-rate players. The other parts o...

Re: Tag Kirium

From your previous posts you are obviously keen on the Kirium and really want to get hold of one. From experience I would say shop around. $600 doesn't sound too dear, but I would want to know what I was buying, and perhaps hold out for a good one that you can handle before you buy. It's tempting to...

Re: TAG Heuer

A couple of years ago I was on holiday and became friendly with an Irish chap who wore the most beautiful cream-faced Carrera, a few years old IIRR, and not too big. When a bunch of us went out one evening Michael and I swapped watches (just for the evening, obviously). It was a lovely thing to wear...

Thank you, Richard. This was only my second ever vintage piece and, like the Omega that started me off, it's an absolute keeper.
Here's the story
