It looks in excellent condition. Nice to have a bit of silver on the brakes and rear mech instead of everything being all black. It still has a classic look to it, whereas I feel the latest...

Hi Pastrana, good photo of some good tools - Wera make some quality stuff at reasonable prices, I have some of their screwdrivers; Bahco are probably the best adjustable spanners, I think yours may...

Good jeans just feel right and you feel good wearing them. I remember trying on loads of pairs in a shop in Stafford town centre in 2002 (when I was a bit slimmer) - one pair immediately felt and...

Good choice. I've been wearing a CWC or Precista for the last few weeks, can't go wrong.

What year is it?

Sorry, that was not my intention. I'll proof-read my posts better next time.

On BBC4 now (2100-2200 Fri 12) Totally British 70's Rock 'n'Roll.

Proper bands, mainly just a guitarist, bassist, drummer and singer who made quality music. Much better than a lot of the rubbish...

Ha! Good description of the Yachtmaster. As it was introduced in the early 90's, I've always thought it was the odd-one-out amongst the Professional range as it didn't have that genuine history of...

I see the 'offset' 2-register chrono price has jumped somewhat http://www.cwcwatch.com/collections/chronograph/products/mechanical-chronograph-no-date £799! I'm sure these were approx 300 or 400 only...

My position at present is stalemate, I decided to go safest route financially and found a Pepsi, 2006 with stick 11 (assuming 3186) for 4.3k and didn't think I could loose but on phoning to buy blind...

Have become a big fan of the Aeropress this year, it really allows the flavour of the coffee to show. You really need properly-roasted, good quality beans (Hasbean are my usual, but I do try others...

That is a classic: plexiglass, the pie-pan dial with the half-second markers and the open numbered datewheel. Can't go wrong.

Who Dares Wines.

Corned beef, tomato and HP Sauce sandwich (white bread) was comfort-food on late-afternoon Sundays in the 80's, trying to ignore the looming week at school.

Delia Smith's corned-beef hash recipe...

Kenma, that Hewitt is a classic-looking bike, a proper audax/light-tourer. You can't beat the look of slim round steel tubes. Good to see a bike with proper mudguards - very few frames have the...

Also, have you noticed that the OP of these threads never seems to contribute anything after his first post?

Mmmm.... never been very attracted to a Daytona until seeing some of the pics in this thread.

I particularly like the WG with Arabic numerals but notice that some have the numerals...

A few suggestions:

The Georgian House, Charlotte Square. A National Trust Scotland site for a good look at life in the past.

National Portrait Gallery, Queen Street.

While your are on Queen...

Dan, do you know why they'll only swap dials on fluted-bezel DJs? Is it just a Rolexism?

Hasbean. Used for about 7 years now, top quality beans that are correctly and freshly roasted. Good service and quick delivery.

I use Feather blades and usually get 2 shaves-per-edge. As for disposal, there is a storage bit for this in the back of the (Feather) blade box, just be careful once you have around six blades in it...

That looks very smart. The Lemania 5100-movement watches almost always have a purposeful 'instrument' look without having to shout about it, unlike most watches nowadays.

If you don't mind me...

An especially pointless use of crownguards is on chronographs: the pushers are usually in direct line-of-fire of anything that the guards are supposed to be protecting the crown from. A good example...

Was he also the voice on 'Winner Takes All', the odd-based quiz hosted by Jimmy Tarbuck in the 70's?

I recently took a watch over to Blowers and was pleasantly surprised with the price they offered, which was maybe only very slightly less than I would have expected for a private sale but with no...

Spotted Ari Vatenen's GMT - is it possible it's a 16700 as these were still made for a while after the GMT II was introduced?

There were also lots of shots of the American policeman's Sub Date...
