I bought one of those big magnetic sweepers for picking up screws and stuff from garage floors for mechanics. Found parts for me on several occasions so must have paid for itself now a few times over.

I’m not entirely sure the last time I wore this. From memory the day driver is a bit temperamental although working.

You learn something every day in the Seiko world, every review I have read says 6002. Apart from thisI remember when the research was first done and the colonel was contacted about this. IIRC, pics of both the front and back of the watch were shown, and the watch is a -6005. All you need to see to tell it is a -6005 is the dial. It will say "Automatic 17j", where a -6002 will say "Chronograph Automatic". Totally agree, 6005 all day long. I don't think anyone has ever unearthed a caseback picture though from what I know. If there is one I would love to see it. Oh, and I agree it's a great pic bertnet (you may have noticed my avatar changed to it some time ago!) and I also love the other one you put on insta. Great to see aren't they?

A seldom worn KQ today. Crystal is better to the eye than it looks in pics. Which must mean it’s time to get a new on or polish this one.

But your in-depth knowledge of 70's and 80's porn is second to none... I'm sure we could find him some Harry Potter themed porn to help ease him into the mainstream. Come to think of it, the last 30 minutes of The Return of the King is almost soft core Hobbit porn 😆 Not sure about the hobbit side of things but there is certainly a lot of Potter porn out there. Or so I’ve been told... 🤣

I think I must be one of the few people who has never watched any Star Wars, Harry Potter or Lord of The Rings films. But your in-depth knowledge of 70's and 80's porn is second to none...

My boy and I are working our way through the eleven Star Wars movies. Got through the prequels over the weekend. So many holes. Spoiler alert! Anakin built C3PO and had a friendship with R2D2 but Darth Vader didn’t seem to know either of them. Anyway, on to Rogue One next (best SW film ever imho) followed by the classics then the new ones. Don't forget Caravan of Courage and the other Ewok adventure movie. I dare you to watch the Star Wars Christmas Special! Caravan etc is NOT on our watch list. I didn’t include it in my earlier posts as I thought maybe I had dreamt it up, nobody else seems to have heard of it. I should have known better on here!

It's before 4:30 and I am at home and I am wearing a good watch so it can only mean one thing.
Zoom dating? 🤔

This so far. Upped our walking game this weekend, doing about hour and a half circuits now.

This one for Saturday, given to me by The Aqualand King in 2018. Aqualand King North Atlantic or Aqualand King Pacific Region? Long live Neilo, long live King Louis!

If that's a Pogue I'm going to become a US Citizen just so I can vote for him.

Pip, I’m from Sydney Australia. Not sure how I add photos, will see if I can work it out! Beautiful place. To add photos if you are using a computer, they will need to be hosted somewhere like imgur or flickr, you then copy the link and click the photo button above the text input area and paste in the link. There's a tutorial somewhere on the general section I think.

Welcome aboard Justyn! Plenty of tinkerers of all levels here as well as professional watchmakers too, it’s a great place to learn and test your skills mate. Whereabouts in the world are you? And some pics of a few watches would be good, we like Swiss too by the way!
