The GMT Master

·Mar 20, 2012

I'm a history graduate, and specialised in Rome and Late Antiquity, mainly religious history. We did a piece where a group of senators were clubbing together to get a water clock for whichever Emperor it was - I guess there must have been ancient WISes as well!

As for me, the mid-1950s would be a pretty interesting time to visit the watch world, a lot of iconic watches came out around then!

I think in French jail, they make you be the Madeliene. Don't drop Le Soap. 😀

I would love to live through the 80s. Everything about it looks so awesome.

Yeah...... It wasn't that awesome. 😜 Unless you like two tone quartz watches, Madonna, Bon Jovi, and black laquer with brass & glass furniture, that is.

My favourite type of music is Heavy Metal and I love a lot of bands from the '80s, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, GNR etc. Thats why I'd love to live through the 80s. 😀

Well, there were a lot of hair bands for sure. For every good one, there was a cheesy one that fell by the wayside. The problem is they still got radio play back then.

Would have thought hair bands would be outside your speciality 🍿

I'am partial to the 60''s as my SM300 is a 1966 and my Jimi Hendrix poster in my Jam room may come crashing down . My birth year was 61....lol....no bias here.

60's or 70's - I'm not fussy. '63 to '73 will do just fine.

But absolutely nothing would entice me to go back to the 80's 😲
