Freitag 14/8/2015 - Eine weitere Aufgabe, interessante Uhren & Armbanduhr dieser Woche

Immer noch hatte ich an meinem Handgelenk am vergangenen Wochenende geschnallt;

 

Dann am Montag, dachte ich, ich würde auf etwas anderes umschalten;


Ich habe ein paar Fotos von einer meiner Uhren in der Vorbereitung, um es zu verkaufen. Der Tudor-Prinz OysterDate. Diese Uhr braucht ein wenig Arbeit von wem kauft es, aber es wird eine schöne Uhr sein, sobald es fixiert ist. Ich habe in den letzten Jahren zu viel Zeit und ein wenig zu viel Geld gegossen. Vielleicht hat jemand anderes noch viel Glück damit. Auf jeden Fall werde ich alle seine Fehler auflisten und sehen, wie es geht. 


Durch diese Hauptaufgabe während der Woche gearbeitet. Ich freue mich zu berichten, dass ich es gerade vor dem Schreiben dieses Postings beendet habe.


So now, all that's left is a short one or two page assignment and a ten or fifteen question online quiz and then I'm done. Bit of luck, I should have it all done by Monday or Tuesday. Cannot wait. 


Tuesday night
                   Sat down to watch Taken (Dir: Pierre Morel, 2008). You know what? It is basically what would happen if James Bond were a modern 'helicopter parent'. 
Here's the pitch;
- Liam Neeson is Bryan Mills, ex-CIA/Special Forces type dude. 
- He dotes on Kim, his seventeen year-old daughter, whom he didn't see much of during her life because his job often took him to far-flung corners of the globe.
- His ex-wife is cold towards him, and has re-married some successful business dude who hasn't always done business on the up-and-up, but that's really neither here nor there, for the purposes of this movie. 
-  His daughter arranges to meet him for lunch one day, to let him know that she's going on a trip to Europe with a nineteen year-old girlfriend of hers. 
-  Bryan doesn't like this idea, because he knows what a dangerous place the world can be.
-  His ex-wife tells him that he has to give their daughter some freedom, in order for her to mature, and that she'll be travelling with friends and everthing will be fine.
-  Bryan relents and permits her to take the trip.
-  He goes out and buys a mobile phone for her to take with her. 
- Er hat seine eigene Nummer in dieses Telefon programmiert, das er seiner Tochter gibt, nachdem er sie zum Flughafen gefahren hat.
- Er erzählt ihr, dass er erwartet, dass sie ihn jeden Abend anruft, um ihn wissen zu lassen, dass sie sicher ist. 
- In der ersten Nacht ihrer Reise nennt sie ihn nicht, also nennt er sie. Es gibt keine Antwort, also versucht er wieder, und sie nimmt das Telefon nur an, um leicht von ihm gerügt zu werden, weil er seinem einfachen Unterricht nicht folgt.

It is during this phone call that his daughter Kim sees some men come into the apartment and grab her friend. Bryan instructs her to hide under the bed and place the phone on the floor. He tells her quite calmly that she is about to be taken by these men and he wants her to yell out as much information about their descriptions when this happens. It's a clever scene. One of the men (unseen, as we witness the effect of this girl's kidnapping on the face of her father five thousand miles away in California) picks up her discarded phone and we get a classic 'I'm coming to get you' speech from the film's hero, beautifully delivered by Neeson;


MILLS
Ich weiß nicht, wer du bist. Ich weiß nicht was du willst Wenn du nach Lösegeld suchst, kann ich dir sagen, dass ich kein Geld habe. Aber was ich habe, sind ein ganz besonderer Satz von Fähigkeiten, Fähigkeiten, die ich über eine sehr lange Karriere erworben habe. Fähigkeiten, die mich zu einem Alptraum für Leute wie Sie machen. Wenn du meine Tochter jetzt loslässt, wird das Ende sein. Ich werde dich nicht suchen, ich werde dich nicht verfolgen. Aber wenn du es nicht tust, werde ich dich suchen, ich werde dichfinden, und ich werde dich töten.

Grundsätzlich, wenn James Bond waren einige überprotektive Elternteil, das ist, wie es spielen würde. Ich war nicht so beeindruckt von diesem Film, als ich es zum ersten Mal sah, aber ich muss sagen, dass es das zweite Mal deutlich besser spielt. Dies ist vor allem auf die große Herr Neesons Darstellung eines Mannes zurückzuführen, der aufhören wird, seine Tochter zu retten. Die zweite Fortsetzung (manchmal auch als Tak3n bekannt ) wurde Anfang dieses Jahres veröffentlicht . Ich habe es noch nicht gesehen Ich hoffe, es ist besser als die erste Fortsetzung. 

Mittwoch
                 Continued working on the assignment. Spent more time fiddling with the bibliography, using Harvard Referencing rules, than doing the actual assignment. So, I then switched to pen and paper to continue with the draft. Still had the Seamaster 300 on my wrist, seen here with a 1962 Pan edition of Goldfinger (1959).
Anyway, got enough of it done before calling it a day. It's meant to be a report of 1200 words, but I've already gotten up to 1,395 words and it's not quite near finished. Ahh, well, and here I was a week ago wondering how I was going to get past six hundred and fifty words. 

Thursday
                I've been trying to get in touch with a Human Resources Manager at a particular company and have had no luck all week. I think she screens her calls, since any attempt to contact her results in getting her message bank.  Tried again today and left yet another message. I think I'll call her again next week. I daresay I don't think she'll have anything to offer me, but I'd really like to hear her tell me this herself. She may as well earn her wage, after all.


Caught up with my watch guy Mike later that evening. He had a couple of interesting pieces to show me. This 1960s Tudor 'Snowflake' Submariner once belonged to an abalone diver who clearly used it on the job. The dial has aged nicely over the years, helped along by some water entry at some point. The hands look they've been replaced at some point, but it would seem that this was some time ago because they have begun to age as well. Exposure to salt water and sunlight have also faded the bezel from its original black shade. This watch has certainly led a life.

Next up was this rare Longines Nonius Chronograph from the mid-to-late Sixties. I've never come across one of these. 
This one was in pretty good condition and measures a respectable 42mm in diameter, which gives it a very modern feel. As good as it looks on the outside, Mike just couldn't resist popping the hood on this thing to show me the movement inside. It's a hand-wound 30CH (L538) chronograph calibre in beautiful condition. Apparently, never been serviced, either. They don't really make them like this anymore.


This is from back in the day when Longines made their own in-house calibres and were a real force to be reckoned with. 

Anyway, that's another week done and dusted. Bit of luck, I'll be done with the schoolwork by next Wednesday. Busy times ahead, that's for sure. 

Think I'll leave you with two more pics of this week's watch;
