Re: Recommendations for parts & service for vintage Sub

Bob Ridley in TX if he hasnt retired. He serviced a vintage Tudor I had and was super easy to work with. Was considered one of the best back in the day. I've heard good things about Rik Dietel in FL.

Re: Your “Dad’s watch”

Good question. Probably my Explorer 1 which at 36mm is a good size for my daughter. The problem is I have twins so I guess i'll have to buy another lol.

For me, I have my dad's Longines. Break it out a couple times a year, usually around is birthday or fathers day.

Re: best way to save photo's form a computer

I’d keep the pics on the drive as backup. When you’re done be sure to go into your computers settings and do a f...

I keep a small collection (typ 3-4) so its fairly easy. Like others said, I just pick one out during the work week.
On weekends its either my quartz Seiko or a G-Shock.

Re: The Gray Man

But not as good as the books. That's what I thought after seeing the trailer. They changed some things that they didnt need to IMO. For example, Fitzroy is an American vs a Brit. Gentry is a CIA asset vs an ex-asset/hitman on the run from the CIA. Etc. Kind of annoying is you like the story in the ...
