I don't know if this question has been asked very often, but do watch enthusiasts ever wonder which watch brands high-profile figures favour? Whether it's politicians, business leaders or anyone wealthy and in the public eye.

I noticed, for example, that Jeremy Paxman on University Challenge was wearing a watch with a white dial, and on his C4 election show it was a different watch but still with a white dial.

Presumably the choice would be influenced by financial means, although as we know, there are many beautiful watches that are not expensive.

I realise it is a lost cause trying to identify the brand from the TV screen, but it is a subject that interests me somewhat.

Does this occur to anyone else but me?

 

Regards,

Frank.

So, apparently, it's a mark of elegance not to wear a watch or a wedding ring. I remember a time when the mark of being "upper-class" was to wear a small gold signet ring on the little finger of the right hand - with handkerchief in the cuff, of course (to show that you were ex-military), and pocket watch on an Albert across the weskit...

Putin will always be able to afford a nice collection even if he gets kicked out. With those kind of creative accounting credentials, FIFA will definitely offer him a job. I gather they may have a few vacancies soon.

      B-Dip residue?

      By pent · Posted

      So I was cleaning an especially dirty balance spring with B-dip because several turns were sticking together.  However, after a wash and dry, it seems there are more turns sticking due to the B-Dip.  I can see it clearly in-between the spring turns and it is not evaporating.  I even stretched the spring upwards a bit to let them air out and they continue to stick.  This is after two washes.  You can still see the liquid between the springs. Not sure if anyone has seen this, but I don't know if this is an indicator of my dip going bad or being contaminated.  I would rise with IPA, but the stud and collet aren't pinned--they are either glued or shellacked so I won't risk it.  If I keep seeing this, I'll probably switch back to a heptane or naphtha for this type of cleaning, but I wanted to see if anyone else has seen this with B-Dip.

      I only watched the start, but he's out on magnification by a factor of 10. It's 7X to 45X, not 450X
