Word to the wise. Last year 12 of us went on a lads weekend to Belgium in which we sampled the delights of Belgium beers
Belgiums' are great hosts and their pubs are a delight.
The beer is not for the fainthearted. When you go into a pub they give you a beer menu, and you can choose from literally a hundred beers. These are served in bottles and you better check the alcohol strength! They start at 5%, most are above, some are 12%. Wish I could remember more about the trip

BTW was it not a Belgium beer company that recently took over Bud USA?

Hey Stuart, how's it going? I never get tired of pix of your Thunderbird. The gold surround on the date window is very cool.

That Cos is beautiful, I would love enough in my bank to pick up a TT Cos. Perhaps I should Flip my wife!

That GMT simply takes it to the next level. That is a dream watch! Stunning watch and stunning picture.

Great work.

Okay guys, explain to me when it is called a TOG and when it is called a Thunderbird? Also, love each and every one of the Thunderbird/TOGs shown on this thread. Might just need a thread for us owners only.

Not sure but I think Thunderbird was the term for the model introduced in the 1950's. It was basically a datejust with a Turn O Graph (TOG) bezel.

I suppose over the years the name Thunderbird was dropped and replaced with TOG
