Also, here is the shopfront that took over 9months to complete due to so many changes, delays and too many cooks moments.

The windows were 5m tall and required gilding and printing from an internal scaffold and some ladders, all very sketchy but really pleased with the final result.

Also did swing signs and the external ovals which were real nice to work on.

Thought I would put some stuff up as seem to be doing more sign writing than printing of late.

I usually screen print my work onto glass but here are a couple from the last month that are totally painted

Sorry, I missed the message.

I am all good just now. Moving studio and so trying to streamline my stores.

Does it have “pintime” hidden in the 7 numeral so we know it is genuine?

Silver DC10 (?) at Bergerac airport today, gleaming in the sun.

AliExpress moonswatch special.

Happy Friday all!

Also in Wanstead, the 18 Eurofighters looked impressive.

The Battle of Britain flight is always amazing

You can see the ink build up in this photo of my business card, and the how the mesh effects the fine line.

These numbers are about 10pt so not the best for the super fine work but great for some areas

I am a screen printer by trade and can confirm the resilience of the inks used. I use solvent based enamel inks that are UV resistant and should outlast the materials they are printed on, especially paper.

I have anodised aluminium screen printed business cards and the aluminium scratches more than the printed ink.

I believe pad printing uses similar inks and techniques to screen printing, only using an engraved plate to retain the ink rather than pushing it through the mesh.

You can do DIY pad printing onto drinking glasses and the like using screens and balloons but the accuracy isn’t there really.

Screen printing is often used for the Lume as you can create super high build screens that deposit a greater volume of particle and hence give a great brightness of lume.

That paulin dial has quite a high build on the pink and could be screen printed.

They are limited due to the pigment staining problem with the ceramic are they not?

My cousin picked one up in Laris last week though so still out there

Been reading “Hands of time” by Rebecca Struthers, would well recommend!

Think it’s going to be the Radio four book at bed time too, the physical book itself is fantastic! Beautiful diagrams and really well written!

Selling my Beloved 1995 Mini Sidewalk at Mathewsons Classic Car Auction this weekend, ULEZ made it unsustainable to keep in London so hopefully it going to a nice new life in the country.

Being forced to get rid has means I have put no reserve on it, if anyone wants a bargain! Needs some work but the most fun I have had in a car!

This watch on a sunny day is a joy!

Happy long weekend all!

New watch day, loving it so far.

Went to see some clocks at the Science Museum today.

Hillary’s smiths

The lume on it was really glowing under the lights of the display. Nice to see!

Friday wedding season has begun!

Happy Friday all!

Excuse the date!

If you take it to Rolex they have details of every original buyer.

My father in Law went in with his fathers Datejust from ‘63 and they gave him a load of information about place and time bought.

Also… I walked past this morning and this guy was going through the fence, haha

chapeau!! Absolute class!

Awesome! How did you get to it? That’s what I want to know!!

Walked past it this morning, have tried a couple of things but can’t get to it.

Looks like other folks have had a shot with no luck too.

I am putting the maps I have made on a wall and calling it an Exhibition.

Come along for a gander if you are free, 02/02/23 in Hackney Wick

I walked past this afternoon and someone had had a go with some sticks and fucked up the box, not open and still there but now quite covered in leaves.

still treasure to be had...?

Do you think the “Moonswatch” has caused the price of vintage Omega watches to increase?

I am sure that a couple of years ago you could get a good manual wind omega from the 50s/60s for £350ish, now they all seem to be £500+

That £350 price bracket seems filled with moonswatches. (Using eBay as the main guideline on this)

Maybe the introduction of that range as well as the general price rise through the new ranges has caused it.
