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

    It had a certain impact. It was the end of an era, the end of bitterness between the East and the West, and the music of the time - particulary "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions summed up the hope everyone had in Europe for peace and a change. The change that didn't really come because of Putin...

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

    You raised a very good point here, that Russian watches are often very well made. Don't see very many of them in the US though. Most people's opinion of anything Russian made, is that it must be cheap and poorly constructed :/

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

    Modern watches just don't have the same degree of craftsmanship. I have a Breitling Chronomat Evolution, which used to be my everyday timepiece. I got curious and took the back off of the watch, and was surprised just how plain it was inside. All my period watches, even the "cheap" ones, like...

    Lucky Strikes

    I can taste the difference between Camels and Luckys, but I'm not sure if its changed any. The difference between a Lucky and a Marlboro/Insert-any-premium-brand-here is huge though. Marlboro leaves a chemical aftertaste, which has got to be worse than the tobacco alone. Luckys don't have that...

    The Great Gatsby - Remake in the Works

    I think we're talking about a different movie entirely. The one by the same director as Gatsby These were the songs from the soundtrack The album featured bonus tracks in the 10th Anniversary re-release in 2007. "#1 Crush" - Garbage – 4:47 "Local God" - Everclear – 3:56...

    The Great Gatsby - Remake in the Works

    I had hoped that some of the "modern" bands involved would be covering period songs at the very least.........apparently he's going for another "Romeo and Juliet" :(

    If you were alive 100 yrs ago - repost from HuffingtonPost.co.uk

    Although you might wish you could commute to work on a hoverboard, have sushi delivered down a pipe to your desk for lunch, and your clothes were chosen by a robot maid, sadly modern life is yet to provide such miracles. However, in comparison to life 100 years ago, our lives are delightfully...

    Never heard of them. What, exactly, are they? Cookies, or Necco Wafers in chocolate?
