  1. Comfort and fit , colour matching or just generally updating or completely changing the look and wear of a watch. Put a Bond NATO on a Seiko solar diver instead of the original, which has polished mid links and looks miles better imho
  2. Christmas present from my lovely wife.
  3. Black Friday Ali deal . Sapphire glass and bezel , milled clasp , decent bracelet and Seiko mecha-quartz for £30 , really can't be beaten.
  4. No , mate , that's why it's a bit strange , the winding is upside down and I don't know how many times I've put it on the wrong way round already
  5. Ali express 11/11 purchase , bit strange having a lefty
  6. He does a few books about the subject , some attached to the BBC series he's involved in , all very good reads and very well researched. At the moment I'm reading Crazy Horse And Custer : The Parallel Lives Of Two American Warriors by Stephen Ambrose of Band Of Brothers fame. Basically a biography of both which leads to their eventual meeting at Little Bighorn. It's like reading a Ken Burns documentary , great book.
  7. My Mrs and her brother saw the cops pull a cyclist at George Square for going through a red light. Never seen that happen before.
  8. Got this in the Ali Express sale for £48. Dial is fantastic , have no issue with the bracelet like some. Have the Steeldive Willard and it's easily the same standard as that.
  9. Just one book though , whereas the Pacific is based on at least two and Sledge's book isn't that great and two are autobiographical rather than biographical. So I think that the Pacific isn't as linear and the source material not as good. Don't get me wrong it's okay , just not on a level with Band of Brothers.
  10. Just don't go into it thinking it's the same level of story ...or characters....or acting. It's based on a couple of books , so , the narrative isn't as strong , it's decent but just adjust your expectations if you're expecting another Band Of Brothers.
  11. Guiliani getting prosecuted under the RICO statute is heavily ironic considering he was an early pioneer of using it to break up The Five Families in the mid eighties during his stint as a prosecutor in Manhattan.
  12. Managed to get the Casio " Tiffany " . Had requested the restock email and forgot about it till I got the alert on Friday , in a queueing system for about 5 mins then checked out. Really nice dial , bracelet not great but second hand hitting every marker , same as my other Casio quartz watches.
  13. The crossover episode was well done , Jack Quaid in particular was excellent. Star Trek has done a few crossovers and this is probably my second favourite after DS9 Trials and Tribble-ations.
  14. They aren't really pushing too much of Kirk at the moment , they seem to be drip feeding him into it , which is a good idea. Think this has had the best start to any of the later treks , would like to see a bit more Pike episodes soon though , he was easily the best thing about Discovery.
  15. Enjoyed the latest episode , liked the wink about Toronto looking like New York. Also got a thing for La'an or maybe just angry , violent women in general , but , I thought the story was decent and the chemistry between Kirk and La'an was good.
  16. Got the gold and black version with silicone strap...keeps better time than most of my more expensive watches , hardly lost a second in months
  17. He's in The Obi Wan Kenobi series on Disney plus.
  18. Apparently the episode with Shadynastys is hated by the fanbase according to a article I saw , I quite like it. The episode with Alexandra Daddario as Charlie's rich girlfriend is probably my favourite.
  19. When you order Boy George from Wish
  20. Cyprus - when you have Eurovision at 9 and Street fighter at 10.
  21. Been waiting for this one to become available , saw it on a trip to Edinburgh and got the Key worker discount from Goldsmiths. Catches the light lovely on the vertical brushes on the dial.
  22. Ali Express Special , nice wear and a bit different.
