The title says it all for this week's theme. This is the one for me. More than 40 years old, but it is never "classic" look. Can wear for very wide range of occasion - from business to casual. Very thin, could be stealthy, but with polo shirt it doesn't s...
Here's an old friend, my first JLC, and guaranteed to elicit smiles. Of all the JLCs I've added since this first, none attracts quite as much sincere interest and compliments. It's big, colorful, cheerful, and playful. While other watches I've owned draw ...
... both for colour matching with the blue dial accents and for comfort with the thick JLC case. No wonder you get so many compliments. Nicely done. Andrew
older JLC is also a fun watch that I travel with and really enjoy. It is always well received by fellow travelers and the vibrating alarm has done its job of waking me before landing, getting off on the right train stop in Japan and catching a quick nap b...
That Grand Reveil is a very cool watch. I think that if I had to pick just a handful of watches to introduce a newcomer to JLC, this one would be be in the mix. The combination of a steel case, dual-mode alarm, comprehensive perpetual calendar (years and ...
This simple watch is the watch that I wear most and like the best, because it is so versatile and ideal during travel. It goes with any outfit and it gives me the least problems. HAGWE gents! GEO ...
This one! Why you might ask... Because it's a tool watch... ;) And I think Girard-Perregaux really nailed it with this one.... ;) On the wrist it's all sunshine... ;) And for me it's pure LOVE! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...
to post a picture of a watch you cannot wait to own, one that you know you will be proud to own? Because surely the CHopard LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS Edition fits the bill! If it has to be one I own, it would surely be this one: I knew from the instant...
is connected with fun even subconsciously :) I had such a great fun these few day with friends in Paris when I received it from land far far away... land that A.R.Wallace described best ;) Best & HAGWE Damjan ...
I was not aware of this version of the GS. Looks great! Interesting hands on this watch. The seconds hand has the luminous dot on the short end. Not often seen! Best Blomman
Mickey has been blessed over the years to have worn some of the very best: PP, VC, AP and Lange. However his first love has always been Omega. As we know you love the one you lost the most ;-( Mickey has owned and traded away 2 of these in the past. He re...
Often fun and subsequently pride for a collector is not only possessing a watch but is for me also the process of desiring a watch, searching for it, wrestling with oneself, finding it, acquiring it and then taking possession. So I want to show one piece ...
... congratulations for having the foresight to pick up such a piece. Uncommon as you say. The date position is very rarely used in watch design and the curved case and long flowing lines are beautiful. I wish GP would put a solid case back on these recta...
It's always a pleasure to wind this watch, feeling the gears and seeing it to "pulse". Add to this, the fact that is a gorgeous watch (IMHO). Team, here is my IWC Portuguese 5454: The beauty of the movement: And finally a "Blomman's styled" wrist shot: A ...
I'm very attracted by the IWC Portuguese line. The clean style, the big size, coupled with a relative thin case of the 5454 makes a very nice watch, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo
... just yesterday on a wrist across a crowded restaurant at lunchtime! Very characteristic and it looked fantastic even fro several meters away. Great choice. Andrew
.. as we all probably have several candidates, But this one has a special place in my heart Because she is indeed a fine watch, I had been hoping for when our paths crossed. Also, as she came in a complete set, whereby as well part of the first owner's st...
First, is my VC. I had wanted a dato perp for many years. And I kept on vacillating between the features I wanted and the look. I finally went with the one that combined the majority of the ingredients I wanted. Nd what a winner to me. I use it in all app...
Well, the 1815 EL is in my collection for almost 4 years, now ,and it is a big love affair. As for the QP Chrono from VC, this is a Watch which always made me dream. This Watch has all, and is a serious competitor to the Patek Brother. Bette,r I think I p...
. . . I'm more proud of than others, and others that are more enjoyable than the rest, but I've never really thought about the one that covers both until just now. It's a tossup between my first Karrée perpetual . . . [image from 2013] . . . and Black Con...
. . . that haven't heard, Black Connie is less than a fortnight older than myself. We were both 'released' at roughly the same time! Little wonder I'm so attached . . .
... much fun from wearing! I got much pleasure of owning and wearing my watches, and it is difficult to chose just one. Anyway, for this W/S I chose one which always makes me smile when wearing it, I´m very happy and proud of having the chance to get it, ...
Hello Ken, this watch is nothing particular or special in terms of "haute horlogerie", but it best fits my taste of a classic men´s wrist watch: It was nicely refurbished in Biel and I am sure it will not leave me without a very profound reason that I can...
Thanks for your compliment, blomman! In my opinion Omega was at its best in the 50´s and 60´s of the last century concerning the quality of their movements and cases - and all that reasonably priced. Well, I must be a true nostalgic :-) Best regards anaes...
Ken, the RO is a must have that I'm always thinking about... As for myself, the one I'm most proud about is the DB25. Because it's an Indy, because I love the spirit behind the manuf. and because its style and mechanics are particularly appealing to me. H...
They are indeed perfectly crafted and designed. I must say I prefer them with white metal, not that much with red gold for instance. Thanks Ken! Cheers, Mark
It's an easy choice for Ti,so fun to change the look from formal to casual to fun just by changing it's shoes This message has been edited by William M on 2014-07-12 10:37:39 ...
