Wonderful vintage boots by Baltes Schuhe Germany, known for their production of German army boots. This pair is one of the first boots made for the army after the “Knobelbecher” around 1961. What I researched, the supplynumber / Versorgungsnummer is 8430-12-120-1178 . It has the original Vorwerk soles and you even can see the wooden nails in the leather part of the sole. A pity that boots like this are no longer produced.
Heuer 510 501 chrono watch with nato strap:
Given to me by my father around 20 years ago, about the time when I served at the army. I beat the cap out of it – damaged the original black metal band, never realized how expensive and actually nice this watch is. At this time, of course it had to have a camouflaged watchband which could be closed to avoid reflections from the watch glass. I was always a bit pissed off be-cause the chrono lost 5 minutes after a week.
This watch was for a long time forgotten in the basement, but worked fine with just some shakes and this after about 15 years of rest. I replaced the camouflaged strap with a bit more civil looking one. I know the glass should be replaced, but right now I think it add´s to it´s characteristic.
More images and more background info about this watch, check Heuerville.

Nice pocket knife I bought in France, try to find it here in Germany but seems hard to get.
Sharp carbon blade (you see the rust), horn grip and as it should be – a corkscrew.

Grandfathers Certina watch:
One of my most valuable possessions. Just recently my mother gave me the watch
of my grandfather. The watchband was way to small and the inside needed a good service. A picture taken right after the watchmaker gave it a service.
At least once in your lifetime (assuming your are a man) your should have a straight razor shave from a skilled barber. The best deal you will get is in Turkey.
While in the rest of Europe it is quite expensive or out of use, in Turkey it is still very in common practice to get a shave done. So the barbers are very skilled, it is cheap, they have fun when you come in as a tourist, you will learn techniques for your own shaves and you even get a glass of tee (chai) for free as well.
While India is also a very “interesting” option, I can not recommend Thailand. It seems to me that they are not used to our dense hair, so cuts, blood and skin irritation is mostly guaranteed.
Saw this beauty in Milano, not a bullet but quite stylish I think.
