The Dive Watch Connection

Hi... Don't shoot me.....but I bought a secondhand Surface Pro 3 for one of my daughters....touch screen, keyboard, SSD, i7 for less than $1,000. They can be cheaper if you go for the lower spec models. I got the wife a Surface New a few years ago...and they are awesome. I think this is the way all ...

Nice and nice movement.

To be Sure. To be Sure....

Hope you are doing well....

Hi Guys Love the debate... I know I will be kicked out for saying this.... but I am a bloke and went to an all-boys boarding school and live in a metric country...but there are still things in imperial. But the best thing about metric....is my Gentleman's Sausage if measured in metric will become en...

Greetings Sébastien

Agree - nice watches. 299 watches an interesting number...ha-ha

Hi Chris Thank you. The Kontiki looks similar, both funky dials. I am not sure the original date of the Eterna. Eterna another interesting brand - that I have a lot of. My Opa (grandfather) had one circa 1950 one of the early Eterna-Matic. Only the automatics were called Eterna Matic, while the manu...

Love the design

Nice watch....classic

Thanks

Thanks

I am embarrassed. I like dive watches, I make dive watches, I live 400km inland from the seas, I do not dive, and I have bugger all dive watches. I was planning to show you my Enicar Divette – but it was in a sorry state and I decided no. Why not one of my favourites the Enciar Seapearl 600? I wrote...

Thanks...I will watch it. Make me sad that another BIG company absorbs a GREAT company like Lancia and kills it. I had a Lancia Fulvia HF 1.6 (not the fanalone - the later one)....fantastic. More fun than my 2.2 911, but built like shit.

Hi Matt – don’t be too anxious (so hard when you are a parent). She is good, just has a different way of processing the same information. I say better…ha-ha Everyone has been great. Thank you. I am getting too old and too grumpy to try and pretend I am normal. We all have some dysfunction. 2 out of ...

Snootydog – The 500 Abarth 695 esse esse was a nice car – it actually kept up with traffic. I was pulled over by the police at 4am doing a test drive at 140km – not bad as I said to the policeman – he was a young bloke and told me to go home as no one would believe him that I could do 140km The Lanc...

Wow - learn something new each day. S&W...interesting.

Thanks - I knew there was some good reason I was drawn to you guys....

Agreed – Loved it. I had almost forgotten about Dave Allen…
Hi Graeme – long time no speak. Will have to give you an email and catch up.

Far too many accountants....

gonzonantis - you have looked after it (thank you). I like your choice of NATO.

My 2 cents worth - Kaspersky. Even the 3 girls have it and (touch wood) all remains well. I do pay, but worth the peace of mind.

Thanks for the tip on the links…makes navigation much easier. River Rat – love to see some of your collection. My Eterna’s are mostly dress. It all started with my Opa (grandfather’s) 1957/58 gold capped Eterna Matic. I am a little upset that Enicar (the real ones pre-1980) have risen in price…I got...

Thanks guys

Thanks Selym. But I was really hoping for "new threads since my last visit", not unread. Is that possible.

regards
Dan

What a great welcome from everyone. Thank you. I have a question regarding admin....when I return, is there a way to see the new threads since my last visit. I find this facility very helpful?? Opa is here for my youngest Kinderfockens' birthday (tomorrow - also She who must be obeyed - wife from th...

Yes mate…still working with Daz. He has got a new electric bike and still lives with Colin (the cat), a Model A Ford and he also has a Daihatsu Handi Van. The Kinderfocken and I saw a Wallaby (small Kangaroo) in town over the school holidays. Quite a rare sight. But 8 minutes’ drive from home and we...

Thank you. What a warm welcome. I hope you don’t give me too much curry in the future, if I share some of my grump old fart ideas. I tried a few careers (Banking, Corporate Treasury, Funds Management, CEO of a Furniture Manufacturer), but I lost the plot, took some time out to be an actor (was the p...

3mins before we go…..
Yes mate agree. I miss the old 911. But Kate (the 928) has Air Con and is still very chuckable. Not as raw as the 911…but different. Porsche do not make bad cars, they are just different.

Here is some more bush. Last year with the old car. This is our back yard.

(oops...not last year but 2013...how time flies - 12 mins until we leave for school)
