As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Thank you very much, John! I had some qualms about it after I submitted but it has gotten good feedback and I am grateful.
Re: New Article - Vintage Ball Trainmaster Review
Another good read. Liked the history aspect.
Re: New Article - Vintage Ball Trainmaster Review
Very good read! I also enjoyed the brief history of how and why rail watches became a tool/existed.
The Trainmaster is a very cool piece. I like your discussion about the movement and how it is essentially another movement but with additional hacking. And that the hacking is on the 4th wheel unlike most watches. Very insightful.
Keep up the great work

Thank you very much! I'll keep in mind that people seem to enjoy a brief history; I try hard to keep it from getting long and ponderous lol.Miggyd87 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 27, 2022 12:43 pm Very good read! I also enjoyed the brief history of how and why rail watches became a tool/existed.
