    How to wear a wrist watch?

    Whatever matches the watch and looks good with it comes onto it. Mostly I use vintage or vintage like straps in brown with golden buckles because they look nice and more authentic on the old Hamiltons. I like the old pig-skin or calf-skin straps of that era and they were mainly used if you look...

    Chaplin Mustache in Modern Day Society?

    Yes, three times and all of them are members of the german NPD, a neo-nazi party known to be extremly reactonary and a hoard for dumb and brutish "orc-like beings". :( So wearing this means for everyone else you sympathize with them and that's why no one dares to do so except those nazis.

    favorite cars of the golden era

    I have seen it on the last AMI (Automobil International Messe Leipzig) and there is also one in the old August Horch museum in Zwickau. The latter is worth a visit, a lot of historical infos and cars from Autounion, Horch, DKW ... Zwickau is not too far away from Dresden and, well as a watch...

    How good are Magnoli's leather jackets?

    thanks a lot for the infos. But since an A2 costs from Magnoli around $600-650 it is not really that much cheaper than Aero's A2 for £400, even so the shipping from GB should not make that much more if you are correct and the quality is somewhat better. Then if you live in the EU and have to...

    favorite cars of the golden era

    There are a lot of cars of the past which I like. The design was imho more appealing than today. But one of my most favorites would be the Wanderer W25K made by, well, Wanderer Besides this one I like the classical "grandeur" of the old Horch cars. That makes me an Audi fan, and yes I would...

    How good are Magnoli's leather jackets?

    Does anyone have one and can say something about quality, craftmanship, etc. The prices are nearly the same as a jacket made from Aero and other competitors, so I am just wondering if they are comparable.

    Life Magazine on google books

    I am not sure if it already was posted somewhere, the search engine doesn't show a thread, if it is there, please delete. If not, then maybe some of you have yet not seen the interesting Life magazines which were scanned and made possible to read online via google books...

    why couldn;'t we go back to 50 cent gas ect

    Still a price I would dream of. We have to pay 1.45 € per Liter and two years ago even 1.58 € :eek: The USA are still one of those countries with the cheapest energy prices of the G7 states.

    A Vintage Avengers film from 1952!

    I had the luck that a in TV "arte" showed the series nearly complete during the last months. Interesting to see how the actors changed over the seasons and how they looked in color and, well without. Personally I like the real old ones in black and white more. It was also better with two than...

    Vintage desktops/wallpapers on your computer?

    At the moment this one: But I use also others of Rita made from various pictures (the ones in a white bikini are quite nice :D ) Besides that also Pics from NY (you all know those amazing pics of the Empire State Building and the steel workers?) of the 1930s or old movies and the like...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Caravelle was a brand of Bulova and maybe this one is a kind of "retro-style" of the early 1960s since the brand was used since then. But so far I have only seen Caravelle's for men with the same brand name and marking West Germany on it.

    Your favourit team in FIFA 2010?

    Personally I don't think it is necessary. Football lives from the humans who play it and those who guard over the rules. Humans make errors and that makes the game interesting. If there is everything put to machines it is like playing chess with the computer. Just boring, no errors, no human...

    Revolutionary War Films?

    Since some mentioned themes in Europa from that time I think that a movie about the infamous Marquis de Sade would also match the criteria. There was the old one "Sade" with Daniel Auteuil which is OK but a little bit too slow. Personally I preffer Quills from the year 2000 with Geoffrey Rush...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    Actually, only if you are using modern watch bands which in most cases are more or less padded. The old vintage pig and calfskin bands of that time (and also the remakes of vintage bands) doesn't. I have two Wilshires and one of them has still a vintage band on it (the one shown there). With...

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    @rlk A nice Elgin, but are you sure that the band is correct that way? I ma just curious since some similiar Hamiltons like the Wilshire or the Essex would have it attached over the lugs. For example one of my Wilshires: Here is one of my newest pieces, the wgf Ross from 1940. : I am also...

    @Shangas, A really amazing pocket watch and the pens :eusa_clap Wished that I would not spend too much for watches and buy at least one good pen for it, but seeing a nice watch I just can't resist, so: One of my newer pieces in the collection, the white gold filled Raleigh, plain made by...

    A Collection of vintage Hamilton watch ads

    And a rare one today. The last Otis I saw sold in the 'bay reached more than 1100 $ and some weeks before that another one in a bad shape was sold for 888 $. Since they even were only gold filled, it's a good price (considering that most solid gold Hamies from the 1940s during the last months...
