Mate, I did the whole whiskey tasting and Cuban cigar trip 20 years ago and quickly realised that you can disappear up your own backside and lose clarity as regards flavours and comparisons. Making the effort to visit a couple of distilleries will help but now I'm in my late 40's I have whittled it down to Lagavulin for best friends and special occasions and Jameson's Irish for anything else. The special edition whiskeys just seem to be a novelty more than anything else. Long Time!

[@rosschops9509]

And what's with these tiny wrists? Where are the men?

[@Miso_Hornie]

Laphroaig and Lagavulin are the best single malt scotches the universe has ever known.

[@rosschops9509]

@@Miso_Hornie 50% correct! Lol. I hear the Japanese make a mean whiskey right now. I mean to try some soon.

There was a request how was that old and battered Seiko 5 restored (positon 3:24:28 in video) :) . So here we go: Because of sustained severe trauma in the watche's history, the second hand, 6 and 9 o'clock indices, both Seiko and 5 logos were all knocked off and never replaced on one of previous services. It was easy for my watchmaker to source back the "golden" second hand, and "golden" Seiko and 5 logos. These are still standard spare parts, delivered by Seiko. The missing two indices were sourced through some gray market of used parts, and I needed to wait for months for the delivery. Further, origianlly the case was quite battered, but the high re-polishing od the bezel and sides revived the case. The movement went through standard overhaul, and today is in a full working order. The price of such restoring endeavour would cost at least ca. 250€ in central EU countries, UK, and USA. For a watch price rating such as Seiko 5, this kind of restoratio does not make sense. But in less rich countries such as Croatia, wehere I did the restoration, it costs less than 50€ and then it makes sense. The bracelet is brand new after-market Seiko original sourced from common online straps shops.

Thanks for this , I was the one who asked . Outstanding restoration !!

[@Zeeraha]

@@ericb8888 Thanks. I am happy to hear someone truly appreciates it :) Bizzare thing is that today I cannot find such elaborate and mysterious dial in any new luxury watch model. This Seiko 5 is one of my favorite watches in my collection. But still, the movement has some performance issues, and I would like to restore the lume as well. But this would lead me into spending at least those mentioned 250€ at master watchmaker who usually repairs and restores my higher end watches. But is it worth investing so much money on a piece which with some luck could be found for 50€ on used market, but again in not so good condition, and again in need of expensive service?

[@ericb8888]

@@Zeeraha worth every penny ;) Full re- lume with Seiko Lumibrite or C3 X1 would be wonderful. Good luck and hope you go for it . Stunning watch ;)

How to submit wrist shots ? Please let me know mate !

Please review the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus White Gold , thanks and keep the great work!!

[@Ossory88]

Great piece! However I think steel works better since its designed as a sports watch.

IDGuy wants his American friends to host him and take him for a football game. : )

Depends on the watches....

Only if you have a healthy bank balance.

"Is Watch Collecting a Healthy Addiction?"If you can afford to buy them no, if you have to get into debt to buy things you don't need with money you don't have then its a problem.

[@YippeeKiYayMrFalcon]

I'd say that watch collecting is unhealthy for many but harmless for most.

[@rosschops9509]

Bang on, yippee!

[@sergelegault6027]

That saying makes no sense

[@rosschops9509]

@@sergelegault6027 Give it some thought.........

At the point that you end up looking like the Train Man from the Matrix....then you've gone too far and need to re-assess.
