Perils of WristScan
Jun 06, 2014,12:21 PM
Fingerprints and dust are common errors.
Forgetting to set the date is most aggravating and frequent.
I've even put the watch on my wrist upside down before, but haven't ever forgotten to set the time.
I'm waiting to drop my watch on concrete, as Graham did once...

Looks great Art, but it took 2 hours of driving, 160Km, a sprint across the road, a scramble across the rocks and a precarious balancing act, all before the sunset. But you did it! Thanks to Tim, Mike and Art for a great evening. Andrew

Did you know that in the north part of Sweden - a few weeks in the summer the sun almost never sets! :) But, on the other hand in the winter it never raises... Always two sides on a coin..! Best Blomman

Really great to visit your place. Great hospitality, even better watches and a lot of fun. Definitely worth braving the LA traffic. I have a few photos to post up when I get home. Thanks again. Andrew

What a case!
By: cazalea : June 6th, 2014-04:46
The sharp lines of the case and lugs caught my eye first in this shot, then the light illuminating the different levels and surfaces of hands, markers, dial, date. The crystal is invisible. I love it. Cazalea

Remember this thread from last month, Mike? . . .
By: Dr No : June 7th, 2014-09:38
. . . that's the original strap on the GS. I failed to secure the pin when strapping it back on, so it took a back flip onto the hard table and fell on the carpeting. That's why it went by the wayside a week a later for a more pliable replacement. Art

Sunset in Germany with vintage Conny
By: anaesdoc : June 6th, 2014-12:00
Hi Art, as I am no "early bird" I went out on our terrace just now and took a picture of my freshly refurbished ("just back from the spa" as hs111 called it) Conny which largely benefitted from its journey back to Biel from where it once left in the 1960´...
Connies hold a special place in my affections . . .
By: Dr No : June 6th, 2014-14:50
. . . and none more than these arrowhead marker ref 2852s from the mid '50s thru early '60s. Thanks very much for sharing your latest addition, anaesdoc. Most cordially, Art
Actually it is from 1958, Art
By: anaesdoc : June 7th, 2014-00:56
Thanks for your kind words! Of course I have noticed your Conny affection, as you post some pics from time to time of this gorgeous black one of yours. I looked up in the list and could pin the watch down to the year 1958. Quite a great condition for a 56...
