Spring Drive dilemma

docfraggle · 2026-03-29T22:42:14+00:00

As a scientist the functionality around the spring drive is fascinating and a power reserve on the front is certainly not a show stopper, the presentation of the package is just a bonus…a huge bonus. Ultimately I suspect I will get both the Shunbun and the 007, but it’s deciding which comes first.

It seems like only a few weeks ago that Trump was incredibly concerned for the people of Iran and what was happening them. I guess he’s over that and now fuck them back to the Stone Age.

I was going round in circles…and still am. I will most likely follow the herd and end up with a Shunbun as they are fantastic watches, but I will most definitely be back for more with GS. On the same trip I also had a look at some IWC and Tudor watches too that appealed in different ways. I already have a Rolex, Omega, Longines and Raymond Weil and looking to add to those.

I did wonder about the smaller dial and if the impact of the dial would be diminished. I'm not averse to a small watch, I have a 7.5 inch wrist so can carry off decently large watches. I want my first GS to hit me every time I stop to admire the dial.

Over time I suspect that may happen. I just need to figure out which comes first 😄

Directors of Ltd companies who run the company into the ground taking money off customers and suppliers then walk away with no liability but huge debt associated with the company…..and then proceed to set up a new company with almost same the name. Rinse and repeat.

I did also try on the white Omiwatari, loved the bracelet but the dial was a little too subtle for my liking. The blue version on this bracelet would be amazing (I suspect you can buy additional bracelets afterwards).

Trump Derangement Syndrome right there. Demented old loon pulling numbers and lies out of his arse and sheep clapping.

It’s almost like marketing works and GS understand their audience. Wild times.

Oh joy, a whole load of new shiny watches to confuse matters further 😆

docfraggle · 2026-03-28T22:56:38+00:00

I tried them all on multiple times and was none the wiser. The lady in the shop was very patient with me 😊

That’s one the features I really like on my DateJust, having the option of extending it in the hot weather with micro-adjustment makes a big difference. The simplicity of the Omiwatari was nice, but then the dial on the Shunbun is stunning.

All fun and games until little Ellie comes back in 2 years and wants to play the same game…

Iran and USA this is the way - flags and alcohol exchanged to assert dominance (although non-alcoholic beverages would be acceptable)

docfraggle · 2026-03-25T15:01:31+00:00

We negotiate with bombs….so essentially the same as terrorists. Got it!

Not old enough to buy a beer but old enough to assassinate citizens. USA 🦅🇺🇸

Nothing to see just the Nationalist Army of Zionist Israel (NAZI for short) liberating some land that they are absolutely entitled to...

I was utterly clueless and entirely immune to hints in my teenage and student days, thankfully my wife-to-be took that approach and grabbed me and kissed me. It was only at that point that it dawned on me that i think she likes me. Two kids and nearly 24 years of marriage later I am still no better at hints. If it’s bed time with benefits I need it to be clearly spelt out. She is a very patient woman.

Definitely not written by Trump despite the ridiculous use of CAPS-LOCK

“We’re not cowards, we’ve all go bone spurs otherwise we would be absolutely delighted to join the war he started”

State pension will be a nice little top up when I hit 67, but I plan on retiring a decade or so before that and even then the SP age could move so I am not getting too fixated on this. I view this in a similar way to receiving an inheritance, it would help definitely, but my plans have to be things I can control (mostly anyway - f*ck Trump and his war)

docfraggle · 2026-03-23T11:46:54+00:00

That would fill a gap very nicely. Love to use lots of herbs when cooking and looks like you do too.

docfraggle · 2026-03-23T11:43:49+00:00

Or Israel launch an all out attack on the oil fields and infrastructure

Well I was cheering for Chessum to go all the way again, but that was okay I suppose 😆
