By: Baron - Mr Red : April 10th, 2014-07:59
This week's Wristscan theme is Watch Madness. Lets see any watch that; 1) You are crazy mad about; 2) You are mad that you sold; 3) That you are Madly happy with; 4) Has a dial that is simply Mad; 5) Was a Mad bargain..... 6) Any Mad watch that you like L...
Love the photo, Baron! :)

Ouch, I feel we are going to have a "mad" WS! Opens for many different interpretations... ;) Best, my friend Blomman
"Latest" madness?
By: Baron - Mr Red : April 11th, 2014-00:43
That suggests some form of acute disease.....whereas with you, my diagnosis is more of a chronic problem. I love seeing you swoop "Blomman-style"
So Mad...

Yes, some definite qualifiers here!

One of those watches that (in theory) are great, but turn out to be greatly wacky! Which is not to imply that I don\'t like it. But I shake my head ruefully whenever I pick it up and heft its 185g. Ikepod Seaslug Alarm / Traveler\'s Automatic with revolvi...

stretching the bounds of reality.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : April 11th, 2014-05:00
.....yes, i think we all go through a little bit of that in watches. I remember the firs time I spent over £200o on a watch....it was also a JLC....and i still have it...but at the time of buying it, I was physically sweating with stress!

Perfect timing ...
By: AndrewD : April 11th, 2014-15:59
Even your user name, watchnuts, fits the madness theme! And two lovely Minerva's from the period of transition and the end of the family owned company as we knew it. You have some great horological history there and nice evolution of a movement going back...
Happy to be here :)
By: watchnuts : April 11th, 2014-20:25
Thanks for sharing the review, it is quite informative and interesting. Indeed one of the reasons I collected these two lovely babies was because they were produced pre-Vendome/Richemont and I really admired their historical value.

.... there are so many watch boutiques in and around casinos. Someone might be mad, but it's not the watch sellers. Anyway, it's a nice memory of you luck. And the Corum looks dramatic. Hope the global markets are as successful as blackjack. Andrew

Thanks
By: Spellbound : April 14th, 2014-16:35
In Asia, you can only get them in Bangkok. I might do a Thailand diving trip this year so maybe.... I worry if I make a trip to Germany, I'll spend too much (as I am lusting for a Lang & Heyne too) Thanks Stefan, Dean
