What time is it? Watches and horology

Well, it's up to you chaps- I'm in no hurry for the cash or machine, it would just be nice if this watch was on a wrist being used instead of in a bag on my shelf.

Can you two have a chat about it and let me know which one of you will take it?

I'm happy to accept pots of cash now, or our trade at some convenient point in the future.

Aroogah, I'd love some of those pins. well 2 ;)

hope youre feeling better dude.

Err, 5 to 3?

Deal. I'm going anywhere any time soon so you're welcome to swing by and say hello. I also have a pin tool so we can do the swap when you're here if that simplifies things. Drop a line when you have the time.

Now someone please answer my earlier question about watch winders.

don't need them, unless you have a load of expensive watches. imo

Bah! You are not being helpful Murtz- did you want any of my spare sets of fat pins BTW?

DMCzone can you please chime in on the winders if you have a mo.

i only need one set of pins.

wear them all at once? on various parts of your body

So a filament with an inert/noble gas.

Or a bulb.

And look like a white middle aged version of Flava-Flav? Umm. No.

Technically they are cold cathode tubes as they do not rely on thermic electron emissions. If they were bulbs they would have been called "bulbs" instead of "tubes" innit?

meh.

Thermic electron emissions only apply to phosphor coated tubes. (Flourescent)

^That valve/tube/bulb has no phosphor coating (it would be opaque) and is only using incandescent light. (filament)

More like a bulb. ;op
