Re: Gift for the wife need opinions.

I think 31mm is a better size for a woman than anything smaller. I think large watches look good on women. Think Beckett (on the TV show Castle) and her 42mm Speedmaster :grin: :thumbsup:

Re: Triwa's Skultuna III

Not for me I'm afraid. The strap does not have enough holes and I like the last hole no farther than 1/4 inch from the tip anyway :lol:

There’s a channel here that’s been running a lot of anime. Unusual for an old guy maybe, but some of it’s really good. “Spirited Away”, “Howl’s Moving Castle”,and “Cowboy Bebop” for starters.
I've seen "Spirited Away", of course. Thanks for the other two.

"Your Name" is really great.

Re: Laptop with Windows 7; asking for your thoughts, advise, recommendations

Why do you specifically want windows 7? Beyond the limiting your choice of laptops it’s not a fantastic system IMHO. After checking out the windows 10 tutorials on youtube. I'd like to stay with something I'm accustomed to, basic straight forward. ... :grin: As someone who yearned for the return of...

Re: Laptop with Windows 7; asking for your thoughts, advise, recommendations

The first one looks great. Full HD display + an SSD and a good CPU are the most important criteria.
The second one is a higher end laptop, perhaps a little older and its SSD is on the small side but if the warranty is OK then it may be a good choice as well.
Don't get a laptop without an SSD.

Windows Defender in Windows 10 is the best version they ever made. Some reviews say it is on par with the others.

Re: New Bulgari Octo l’Originale Solotempo

Chrono is nice. Agree with the LW comparison. For some reason that Ti look of the Finissimo and Solotempo really appeals. Problem is I don’t know really anything about the brand as a watchmaker, just as a luxury group. Something about buying a watch from a company that’s a watchmaker first and fore...
