. . . and they're all so very different: markers, or as some prefer, indexes. Let's see your favorite this week . . . . . . along with the watch . . . . . . they embellish. Please include a close-up of the marker along with your submission(s). Art...
I like mine Roman.. and applied versus painted ideally, however I won't ever turn it down in the proper context.. One I really enjoyed handling.. and finally, one of my own Great thread, I am interested to see some others! Best regards, Colton ...
The nice combo of discrete colours of dial, indices, Tachymeter scale ( in light blue) deliver a classic appeal, which I really like !.. .. Also always like your " Blomman-type" straps. Another very nice one, for (converted) "No-Chrono"- Man !!.. ;) ;) Gu...
A bit like for the Omega CK 2913 Seamaster. The fragileb insert doesn't survive to Time. And there are some very good " artists " who know how to restore them in a faithful way. Best, Nicolas
Team, A new (or not so new) toy, with shades of blue: A mandatory B&W: An old friend (my most traveled watch, by far), the Solar Impulse: A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo ...
... the ingredients a watch lover seeks in his timepieces: a classic model, an awesome black honeycomb dial, and those beautiful indexes which add to the charming look ot your Connie! And your great close up picture of one of the markers reminds me of an ...
As you I fell for it the moment I saw your post :) What an extraordinary indexes Love it + it comes in my fav black / red combo Thank you very much for sharing this anything but humble piece Yours sincerely Damjan
... Dexter, and I told you Dexter and me have lots in common!! Lots of surprises behind... ha ha ha!! So glad I could surprise you my friend. That´s a whole compliment to me! Un abrazo afectuoso, desde las Pampas lejanas! Que tengas un buen fin de semana ...
... regretably my camera do not allow me better close ups of the "12" index, so I played a little with the light to try a more interesting effect. I´m happy to share this little timepice here! Very cordially, Abel.
... and your black honeycomb example is absolutely superb. This Zenith is very humble in comparison, but agree with you that the unique markers standing against the black dial make for the charm of this timepice and I´m glad you like it! Have a nice week ...
...but not every watch has 'em! Of those that do, however, the ones in the watchbox which hold a curious grip include: 1. The gold 'rivet', or 'bullet': (photo by KV) (very poor photo, but it's for Rob, and he knows why) 2. The 'chiselled' index: (photo b...
Excellent selection. I love the KV. And I also love those little nipples that we call cabochon in french. The term might even have crept into the English language? I don't know. ...
I have a tie in my gun for these two: Lange first, how unique are these markers? Now two shots of another favorite - MR. Kari I've posted these two VC before, but the markers are sublime Not to leave out this JLC where the markers just contrast so nicely ...
That blue dialed Reverso is a favourite. The lume shot of the Journe is impressive. How long does it last into the night? Something to read in bed by! Andrew
. . . works for me! Glad to see you back again, Eitan. PS - finally landed a military Omega; neither British nor truly military, but close enough for government work ;-) . . .
. . . and the only images I have presently are these . . . . . . taken on my watchmaker's bench. Not branded on the dial or movement as a chronometer, but referred to as such by our Omega forum moderator. Art ...
.. is it Cars & watches( or vice versa) ?? i.e.: Cars The WS for July31 and Fav. Complication - just a regulär thread ? Clarification appreciated, pls ! - or would it be both ?? Best & thx in advance, hs
Hi hs. I understand the confusion, but don't worry, you can contribute to as many threads as you want! Seriously, though, it just depends on the forum view you use. In the "Most recent threads" or " New Forum Start Page" the post with the most recent entr...
.. I erroneously, had re- contributed another pic to the "Car & Watch" thread, without realizing, that this was an older thread already, and only had been receiving a new entry from someone else.. Thanks again for your kind clarifications Best, hs :)
Of course, you are right, Art - the markers are a prominent characteristic of a watch´s face. As I like these 3 markers at different times and for different occasions very much, please allow me to post all of them. Sadly I could not get some really large ...
br> - let me think a little bit : Here my examples : 1/ the Alarm + the Date 2/ the Parking 3/ the WT indication 7 of my favorite Complications: Alarm by MMV !! One sample: Funky 70ies, a bit bullish but balanced ! Show me time & date The cute & funny Par...
This breathing early 70s (funky) and first time I saw one, I decided that this is the" watch" I wanted. It is very unusual and a De Luxe model is the one I now looking for now. /Anders
... since I really had problems accepting the weird subdivisions of the minute counter. It is practically impossible to make an accurate reading of elapsed minutes, which should be the "raison d'être" of a chronograph. Marcus
And now I see someone has done a movie with the same name... I will have to buy the DVD even if it is terrible! Hope all is great with you Ubik and that you are enjoying the summer? Cheers Andrew
orange is the new black is not a film but a Netflix TV series. Very enjoyable. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="/" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Please excuse the cloudy sky reflected in the image of the watch on the wrist! The other image shows the whole watch reflected on its dial by the window glass: I like it a lot! Best, massi ...
. . . one of a few models contemplated for my collection in an earlier phase. The one I truly wanted was the Exima Kaliber 286, about which I contacted Georg several years ago. The original run of twenty-five(?) was long gone, but he said he might make an...
