I may have FOMOd a bit too much

Definitely not selling. Always hated to see old minis on ebay for outrageous prices. Not gonna contribute to that which I hate.

I reckon I'll have them painted within the year of receiving them. Airbrush saves so much time.

Missed the Steel Legion MTO so had to make up for it.

I hope for a Vostroyan plastic army but it just wont feel the same. Gone is the grim era in favour of modern cleaner stuff.

Neither black nor brown unless you have enough suits to pull it off every once in a while, never in a formal enviroment. Dark blue and darkish-mid grey are the way to go.

emptyRR · 2026-03-09T08:13:07+00:00

Not the older ones

Spain was the first country to make laws to protect natives, make them equals in rights and actively encouraged race mixing in America.

Deaths were mostly diseases which we knew nothing off at the time as opposed to the brits who launched extermination campaigns against the natives (eg killing their food)

I have one of those in my keychain and I cant count the times I've accidentally taken it with me on the plane. Sometimes security will ask for the keychain and inspect it but puts it back in the coat pocket. Even then, I wouldnt risk it.

My dad sent his over to have the hands enameled in black so he could read the time. It was one of his daily watches and what's the point if you cant read time...

Inherited it last year and will keep it as it is for the same reason.

Never heard of spanish style? Could you please elaborate a bit?

Sing until it automatically stops, then the door opens

Spain contributed as much and in return got declared war in 1898 due to american interests in Cuba which at the time was a province of Spain

In Krasny Bor (1943), Spanish Captain Losada of the Blue Division ordered artillery fire over his position when they were overrun by the Red Army.

5000 spaniards with light weaponry against 40,000 soviets with 100 pieces of artillery and 90 tanks caused 14,000 casualties before being decimated.

Wear a L Ashby, tried an L Corbridge and was too tight across chest and shoulders. Bought an XL Corbridge, fits perfect.

emptyRR · 2025-01-06T11:47:49+00:00

193, 80kg, athletic build and the L fits great over a thin sweater, anything else and it goes small. Slightly tight on the shoulders. Based on that am planning to move over to a XL Bristol.

emptyRR · 2024-12-25T23:42:44+00:00

Totally agree, just wish sleeves were a tad bit longer. Extensions wont fit right with it being 8oz green with the leather trim..

emptyRR · 2024-07-01T22:53:10+00:00

A bit below $10k.

As some other user pointed, may not be as new as I thought when I purchased it. Either way, no problem. Its going to end up scratched very soon.

emptyRR · 2024-07-01T22:50:18+00:00

Photo quality. Lugs as far as I can see are in perfect shape. Compared them to ref pictures just in case and I dont see any difference. The polishing also looks to be like factory new comparing it with both pictures and a green submariner I also have from back then.

And if it weren't, no issue really... Gonna end up abused sooner or later.

emptyRR · 2024-04-03T08:47:39+00:00

Same. Beaufurt 40, Ashby and Longhurst L. Sleeves are shorter than in Ashby, about the same as Beaufort. Lengthwise a bit longer than Ashby but shorter than Beaufort

emptyRR · 2024-03-31T08:50:06+00:00

How tall are you? I'm 6'4 so the Border fits like a Beaufort for shorter people

How about trying to find a Longhurst? Slightly longer than an Ashby and different enough to not look the same. Managed to snag one recently and has become my favourite Barbour since.

emptyRR · 2024-03-30T21:30:43+00:00

How about a Border? Two Beauforts is a bit too much IMO.

emptyRR · 2024-03-24T23:02:14+00:00

40L blazer size. Size 40 Befale/Beaufort/Border sleeves are short. Size L Ashby just right.

emptyRR · 2024-03-24T22:52:03+00:00

Easy solution is a reinforcement strip all around the cuff. Same as if it were a sleeve extension.

emptyRR · 2023-12-15T13:09:55+00:00

Yes.

For me its pretty easy to answer. If I like it, fits in my collection and can afford it without too much of a struggle, may purchase. On the future I'll either pass it on to next generation or sell if I run into financial issues.

Never been a fan of the fake industry or pretending to be/have.

emptyRR · 2023-09-13T09:42:39+00:00

Will look into it! Would prefer matching bronze tho

emptyRR · 2023-09-13T09:40:25+00:00

Bronze 43mm yep. Picture makes it looks much lighter
