Yeah these things are great but you can't sleep with them on the bedside table.

You are so right. It's like playing a vinyl record, getting it out the sleeve and gently placing the stylus on rather than just pressing play on a screen. That looks a bit like my sugess with it's sea-gull ST1901 movement..a bit.. the cost of the sugess probably wouldn't pay for the box the Lang came in..

That's a beaut. I'm really interested in the story of the transition from mechanical to quartz.

They tried all sorts of hybrids. I've got an elnix, a couple of Timex electric and an accutron. Some clever people beavering away just so we didn't have to keep winding our watches every day.

I didn't know much about Bulova until I got this. Not really on my radar.Now I have several vintage pieces. Its easy to get carried away when they're not that expensive.

Yes it's amazing what £28 gets you direct from Russia. Tough movement in these things. Surprisingly accurate too.

Yeah I had a 73 Buick Apollo and a 77 caprice when I was younger but it was expensive to keep putting the fuel in..or what you call GAS ⛽

Thanks. Its better in the metal as it's not a good photo. I've yet to see how it's doing on the timegrapher as it only arrived today.
