Re: Universal Geneve Are Being Revived

Count me intrigued. I find it fascinating the efforts to launch a new enterprise using an old name.

Re: Your Favorite British Bands from the 80's

. . . . . .. I'd like to correct my oversight, and listen to more punk and synthesizer based music. Thank you, Leon One glaring omission in what has been recommended so far, and I don't know why I didn't mention them last night;- Emerson, Lake and Palmer.

Re: Would you go to the ends of the Earth?

I drop in at my local jeweler’s, 17 miles away, to see what they have, but I’ve not specifically made a trip to buy a watch. Also, visiting my parents was a four hour, 235 mile, trip, one way. Came home with my first Rolex on one of those trips. Again, unplanned.

Congratulations! And coincidentally the 7th is the launch anniversary of Apollo 17, the last Apollo mission to the Moon.

Re: WR testing by CW after repair/service

If I’d sent a watch for warranty service, and the brand serviced it, I’d expect the watch to be returned to the same specifications as when new. The bare minimum of some vague “industry standards” doesn’t seem a clear, quality repair. Of course, as I shared elsewhere, my watches do not get wet in an...

Re: Do I need a diver?

Needs ≠ wants I don’t dive, I take my watch off to shower or wash dishes, I don’t enjoy bulky watches. Yet I own some divers. I’ll wear them just because. I’ll wear them boating. I need dress watches _because_ I want dress watches. See the difference? :p Sign me: rationalizing the illogical since 19...

Re: My old C40 worn continuously for 13 years

It’s great you’ve gotten so much life from the watch. While it may not be “worth” the repair from an economic perspective, if you like it enough I would hope you would get it repaired. It’s not junk. If you had the inclination, there is a DYI watch kit with the same movement. Were it me, I’d likely ...
