A Library, a Cartier Watch, a Thesaurus and "Breaking Bad," all meet in a pub...

Rob, takes us to one of the most historic and important buildings in Manchester, The Portico Library, which also houses The Bank Pub, where we meet Ozymandias, King of Kings! Look on his Works, ye Mighty, and Despair!

Every time I've been in The Bank, it's been packed and heaving so never got a chance to appreciate it's splendour.

I enjoy your videos Rob! Greetings from Greece!

Great building and lovely watch !

[@Tomb3861]

Well, I have been absolutely schooled as to historic buildings in Manchester. I had absolutely no idea they were there. You need to do Liverpool next, Rob...

[@RobtheAmerican]

Liverpool is on the list!

[@AQAEnglishwithBryn]

Been in the Bank before, but never realised how nice it actually is!

[@RobtheAmerican]

It's funny how we see...but don't see!

Morning Rob. Really enjoying your videos. I grew up in Manchester close to the city centre and left in the early 1990’s. Last time I visited was in 2010. Looks like I should plan a return visit to appreciate all the positive development. Any vintage watch specialists you could recommend maybe ? Thanks again. 👍🏻

[@RobtheAmerican]

Hey Michael. Thanks for the kind words! You should definitely come visit Manchester again. It's very vibrant but not overwhelming like London, imo. As far as vintage dealers, I don't have anyone specific to recommend as I haven't personally gone that route on my watch journey so far. Are you looking for something in particular?

@@RobtheAmerican Hi, I’m currently interested in ‘50’s and ‘60’s time only “classics” with notable movements. I recall Kay’s Jewellers near to the Royal Exchange used to have a few vintage along with another jewellers in the Arcade. There were a few small jewellers in the shops within and around the Corn Exchange prior to its restoration. I remember a couple of places on Cathedral St close to the earlier Harry Hall bike shop. I will make sure I have a tour around my old central Manchester haunts as soon as I get the chance. 👍🏻

[@RobtheAmerican]

Kay's is still there...but I don't think those others you mentioned are around.

Interesting thanks

Do you have a favorite Cartier?

[@RobtheAmerican]

Too many to choose from!
