Best satire I have seen or read in awhile ( caricatures about the watch industry are plentiful on instagram though some are a tad too crass in my opinion ). 2 & 6 sing to me particularly. Powerful caveats that should be heeded by all collectors, experienced or not alike. Thank you.

My friend Padj has laid a seed in my mind that I am not reading enough books. I haven’t finished a good book for many years. I miss good writing. Here are some quotes from authors I miss, matched to our watch hobby: (1) “The evening\'s the best part of th...

I wonder how many new guys to this hobby can find out about the dark underbelly of the watch world. So many negative things. I’m glad we have PPro where we can discuss it. 👍

Definitely love no. 5 ;)

Those authors are, in my opinion some of the best that the U.K. has to offer in terms of my personal favourites. I’d go with Hilary Mantel as my number one (Wolf Hall’s language is sublime in how it flits from thought to speech, especially in the beginnin... 

thanks Julian, much appreciated 😊

I have a soft spot for McEwan; I’ve read the most of his works except for the recent novels. Definitely in agreement about Mantel: lightning in a bottle! She is so good. Well maybe if I still have my wits next time, I can create a similar thread with the ... 

#3 and # 5 strike a special cord for me.

Do you know who is SOW???

the videos are the funniest. and I feel sorry the guys who genuinely love Hublot; there’s no hiding. 🤣🤣🤣

Hehe.

The written word is often too much for the weak of mind. Pictures/images being the norm today and we know how these can be altered through technology... I too could use some good reading ;-) Cheers, Tim

thanks Tim! 😊

my wife often complains that I am weak of mind and faint of heart and she traded down to marry me. I thank the Man Upstairs that helped me put one by her long enough to slip the ring on. 🤣🤣😇
