  • Although I'm primarily a coffee drinker, I've started drinking tea in the evenings. Twinings Earl Grey has been a regular go-to, but I've started buying tea from specialty shops just to try something new. Right now I'm drinking an "Irish Breakfast T…
  • When the wood looks similar to a pair you already own, then I definitely understand why you had to get them! My vintage speakers, excluding my pair of Tandberg Fasett's which are black, are teak wood ones, which means that if I wanted to have them p…
  • It's not a Bond watch, so it's only relevant in that it is an Omega, but this particular model, the Seamaster 60 “Big Crown” from 1969 has popped up in my searches on Chrono24 a few times the last few days. It was apparently conceived as a transitio…

  • Compared to the complete Blu-ray set which @mtm mentions, these are indeed much better – at least "different". With the number of releases we've had of these films over the years, I'm sure it's not easy to come up with something "new" while retainin…

  • CR67 is entertaining enough just by being such a mess of a film! Really need to watch that one again soon.

  • Just finished rewatching the third and final Agent 077 films starring Ken Clark, Special Mission Lady Chaplin (1966). Along with Agent 077: Mission Bloody Mary (1965) and Agent 077: From the Orient with Fury (1965) which I revisited these past coupl…

  • Agree, "Pop Art" might be the best way to describe these covers. I was thinking earlier today actually, that the DN one would look great as a big poster on my living room wall :D

  • I've never paid much attention to Grand Christmas Eve Ball when watching the film, but I'm surprised how enjoyable it was listening to the full track on the CD. I just know I'm going to play this track and Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown? …
  • Nice find @Fire_and_Ice_Returns! These Denon's reminds me of a pair of speakers we had in the family home – probably around the time these were made. They were certainly not Denon though; they were replacements for another pair that stopped working,…
  • Really like the look of both those watches in the video! I've seen several Youtube channels mentioning San Martin as a genuine option, so I might take a closer look at their catalogue of wristwatches. Those I've seen in videos – like the one alongsi…

  • mtm wrote: » The earlier ATs were a smaller size; I think mine might even be 36mm. Yes, I've noticed there are quite a few 36 mm ATs out there, especially from the early era of the AT. Fortunately, these watches do look great too. I've n…
  • Lynley looks entertaining enough going by that trailer, so I'll make sure to check it out. What car do we see Suter driving in that trailer?
  • You also have the chance to buy from trusted dealers on Chrono24, which makes a purchase feel somewhat safer – which is important considering what you might end up paying for a wristwatch. If I had an AT like that, I fear it would hardly leave my…

  • That's an absolutely stunning watch you have there, @imranbecks! :-O Unfortunately, there aren’t any watch stores near me that carry luxury brands like Omega, so my best bet is trying my luck on Chrono24 or other online retailers. Still, nothing b…

  • From the reports I've seen from journalists that follows Arsenal closely, Arteta has a lot of trust in the board and the owners, but surely he would need to win something soon. I think if Arsenal go trophyless this season, I think there will be a lo…

  • Up to this point the estate of John Le Carré seems to have been careful how the IP has been used after his passing. As far as I'm aware, there's only one TV adaptation in the works, Legacy of Spies, starring Matthew Macfadyen as George Smiley, and o…
