And for all the passion and the friendship shared. Watches are more than watches. This one is a great illustration of friendship. Its owner didn't want to sell it, but when he saw my eyes drooling over this one, he knew that I would love it! And cherish ...  

Brut just like champagne! Best Z'

Yours are stunning my friend! Best Blomman

Other than that, it remains for me only, to congratulate you ! Apologies for my ignorance - but which Reference & year is this marvel ? ( Apparently a Sub .. 5508 ?- probably not / Big Crown ?) Thx in advance, my friend ! hs

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

Another stunning piece, my friend! :) Best Blomman

Hi all, we don't really have a Thanksgiving tradition over here, but if I look back at 2014, then I can say this year has been a vintage GP year. While I was able to find a couple of modern GPs I had on my hunt list, I really ventured this year into the v...  

I don't find anything, since you and Blomman are " drying " the market! :) All the best, Nicolas

Jorney into vintage GP, my friend! :) Thank you for your kind words, CC! Best Blomman

After a leg surgery. Very successful, so I say thanks to the surgeons and the team of this five star hospital. Should be back home tomorrow. Five days with my Doppel. A great weekend to all, Nilo ...  

Good to know all has gone well! Best Blomman

... going back home soon! I wish you a fast recovery my friend! Have a nice Thanksgiving Day and week end Nilo! All the best, Abel.

I had a congenital arterial disease, on the two legs. Done with the left, should do another surgery next year. Modern medicine sometimes works. Cheers, Nilo

... another thing to Thank for!! Have a nice week end Nilo! Kind regards, Abel.

. . . and twice at that! That's why our nickname for you . . . . . . is Hombre . Get well soon, my friend.

But what I can do from the hospital room? Every two hours a nurse arrives, do something (normally painful) and departs. Cheers, (believe it or not I never saw Hombre- go to have time at home to see it), Nilo

From the window of my hospital room ... Is terrible to be with only a single watch. My last "capture". IWC Doppel Chronograph: Sorry for the iPhone 6 pictures. Cheers, Nilo ...  

... so nice to be back at home, with family... and your watches!! Have a fast recovery my friend! All the best for you! Very cordially, Abel.

That we don't cellebrate (I don't think that we have anything to say "thanks" here) but I made the Sunday "asado" (Yes, our grill is Argentinian style) that will be grilled by my son and family, leaving to me the hard task of eating. Cheers, Nilo

"No pain, no gain"? I believe that this was created to describe my recovery. With around 46 stitches on my left leg, pain is ... Painful. So far, the recovery is progressing and I hope that I will be great after Friday, after they remove the stitches and,... 

Full speed ahead with clenched teeth, you'll see that already at home will get better... Best, massi

Was just few weeks ago: For quite some time I had been on the search for a nice, authentic Explorer, preferably gilt, and it had already taken me almost 2 years ( seen many, missed several, could'nt convince an owner, or being not convinced, myself as wel...  

Love it, absolutely love it. Best, Nicolas

Must show me next time we meet, my friend! :) Best Blomman

Yes, life is good with a watch like that on your wrist! :) Stunning! Best Blomman

... 1. I had another chance to get one after I sold it back to the original owner. 2. The LE number is my birthday. 3. Replacement dial was still available (and almost perfect!). 4. I have a nice enamel dial watch. 5. And the watch is simple and beautiful...  

I'd be grumpy all day long .... LOL Congrats on the reunion !

I would love to encounter 50th Anniversary Fifty Fathoms, too! Ken

With the 1815 Moonphase Emil Lange... But I guess we have similar tastes, here.... Best, Nicolas

... I think I agree that we do have similar taste here :-) Sorry for your loss.... These are the BEST DAYS of Lange, I say. Ken

There are only two watches I am considering... This Anniversary is one of those... As for the rest, we agree. Best, Nicolas

Just beautiful, love the enamel dial/sub second configuration! :) Best Blomman

... when choosing a watch, isn't it? :-) Ken

Lovely piece. Enjoy! -- Richard.

This has been with me for at least 4 years and will be a keeper! Ken

I would gladly become grumpy old man :) Not only dream Lange for me but one of best timepieces ever for me All the ingredients for perfect harmony are there White enamel, blue hands, red 12, roman numerals nice movement, perfect size for dress watch, LE, ... 

.. I am grumpy as the brand (maybe all the brands, though) is changing and no longer my strike zone..... :-( But, I am getting old, too! Hahaha. Ken

I bump into somebody I knew at in Paris last week and he was wearing this Anniversary Lange. The size, the material, the finishing, the micro rotor... A fantastic Lange for sure. Congratz :) Cheers, Mark

Thankful for my 'brilliant Navitimer and trample-proof leather bomber to get me through Black Friday madness. Wrist shot: Static: Have a good one ya'll! Matt ...  

Hope you "survive" the black Friday madness! ;) Best Blomman

have crushed on Black Friday. What is the leather on the jacket? This would make a great cover for a Breitling forum! Nice idea? Best to all from the aftermath of Thanksgiving, 16 at the table and an entire 22 pound turkey consumed. Tim

Enjoy your Sunday. Bill ...
