George Daniels. I watched a documentary about him a couple of weeks ago called The Watchmaker's Apprentice. Very interesting if you're incredibly dull like me and love watches.

Great Omega by the way Someoldguy.

Thanks …Had my eye out for one of these for a while ; actually since before I retired a few years back , but either couldn't find one from a reputable seller locally , or was unwilling to shell out the cash . This one came up a few weeks back … had the money from some side work I've been doing on and off so a mutually agreeable trade was agreed upon ,my money for their watch . Probably the last nice timepiece for me , unless someone leaves a box of 50's on my doorstep .

In a coffee shop.
I imagine that she adopts the same thousand yard stare that Mrs MacRy has when I start telling her about the different movements I need to add to my collection, or why I "need" another lens for my camera.

Actually no, Mrs Kenoh typically just gets up and leaves the room when I start...

And they say that men cannot read women's emotions. Guys, you are both clearly completely fluent. My heartfelt congratulations. Hilarious posts, by the way.

But does she take the credit card with her?

That would come under the heading of sabotage.

My last one for 2015 then. I imagine these old bells at Worcester Cathedral have rung in the odd New Year or two.

Comments always appreciated.

Lovely bells, and very nice shot. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, I love old - and classic - Omegas. Gorgeous watch, - an excellent present to yourself - and long may you enjoy wearing it.

I have a classic style Deville myself that I bought seven years ago - also a Christmas present to myself and the watch I still wear daily.
