Yes, I suppose so as most of my ((very) modest collection from the lower end of the quality mechanical market are spread across three or four different ETA calibres ... or derivatives thereof (e.g. Oris) ... just that the favourite watch that I own has a Valjoux 7750 ... by ETA.

Today oi am mos'ly wearin' an auto from Zeno of Basel with an ETA 2836.
Very plain indeed.

"Well, I think in Rugby League if you head butt someone there's normally some repercusions":d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_25511.jpg



New light bulbs are rubbish. I doubt it's a conspiracy, but they are really not what they are cracked up to be. I haven't had one of these rediculously expensive objects last months, let alone the years it will take for them to recover the extra investment. I have had two literally explode, glowing super bright for a few days then blowing the lamp with them. I have had to buy 2 new lamps in my office, both shagged when the bulb went.
There is a small electrical shop in our arcade that sells the old ones (they must have millions in stock), mainly to all the old people in town who can't see anything with the new bulbs and who can't afford to wait 5 minutes for them to warm up while they attempt to navigate the stairs.

I'm sure the pi$$ small amount of power we'll save will delay global warming catastrophe by 0.00004 of second so it's all worth it I suppose.

I might as well join in. icon_biggrin.gif

Today's pick contains a JLC calibre 956.



As for light bulbs. sleepy.gif I've switched to solely using energy saving bulbs. Now I can't say I've noticed a reduction in my energy bills. But the life span of the energy saver bulbs themselves far exceeds those of the old style bulbs.

As have I and for anyone who doesn't like the colour temperature or brilliance of the run of the mill energy saver, get your hand in your pocket and buy some 30 watt daylight bulbs

I bought a 60watt energy saver bulb for my elderly mothers living room because she complained about dim light contributing to her inability to the read the newspaper. I'd now liken entering that room to staring at the sun. But at least me mam can now read the paper and on the plus side she's developed a lovely healthy glow/tan.

I should really do that, but have you seen the price of them icon_eek.gif

They really do make a difference (apparently) to painting/other hobby stuff especially during the winter when you're working in artificial light most of the time, the difference from what you saw the night before and what you see the next day in daylight can be huge sometimes.
