Team, (Later than never - Internet issues) The watch(es) that we love. They can be in different forms, shapes, metals, brands etc. What matter is that we love and continue looking for new loves (no monogamy is needed!!!) At the end, we always find ... ano...
. . . Ω . . . . . . love? Kevster's Speedmaster GMT above, my '54 Denison bumper below. We've been pals for nine years; a shared passion for Omega is what sparked our friendship. Art ...
. . . you'll appreciate, Geo. Just our style, no? Nothing special; neither a chronometer, nor a noteworthy reference. Just a plain Jane model from the mid-'40s, probably issued by the tens of thousands. Out of all my watches, though, it's the one that rec...
" If you had to keep only 10, which ones would they be "? I now feel the need to restrain the collection. To fund those I miss a lot. And to enjoy all of them. But, at the same time, it is very painful to even think about letting some go.... Best, my frie...
I think that asking him which one is like asking which one of your children you love most One thing in this universe that is impossible to answer Yours as always D
Ray Bans, Oakleys, Polices that I have don't do it anymore I think that King of cool with pair was threshold :) yea yea I'm victim :) but then Cary came along and if I'm not mistaken mate from down under and that was it :) ...
Looking at the beautiful Omega Speedies you attached, I thought about the Apollo-Soyuz mission and the old nixie tubes of this watch are from the same era... if not before a few years! Best, massi ...
Glad you liked it, I am obsessed with this watch, I wear it all the time now, my other pieces feel so neglected. Its so funny, I always ignored IWC and then this comes along and changes everything, trying to learn about Pre-Richemont IWCs, they made some ...
of simplicity & elegance .... So easy to fall in love with .... Extremely hard to part with .... A piece that will stay in the collection for a long long time ! ...
Hi Nilo, the numbers are in Hindu/Arabic. The piece was special order made for a gentleman in the Middle East. The Tank Cintreé has one of the most curved watch cases Cartier did. GEO
.. Nilo & friends ! What a nice theme, this week - sounding easy, but the choice from the bunch of loved tic-tacs, can be difficult.. Thus, I would like to share a bit more, than one, : - one for a Tribute to a legend , starting much here, for me.. - one ...
.. you with your phenomenal spectrum, are for sure already even beyond that point .. Pleasure & pain are pretty close, sometimes ! Best, my friend ! hs
It's the Collectors one? I was offered this one but since I have the Spitfire, I decided that it was too close. On yours, I love the lume color. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo ...
...well, unrequited until recently, that is. I have been chasing platinum ever since I foolishly gave up the opportunity to make this one mine several years ago. I guess the chase has made the conquest all the sweeter. Yes, I am in love. HAGWE all! respo ...
... all watches in my collection. Each one is different that has special features or details that stand out. So without neglecting any, I just picked one for this Friday's Wristscan. However, before I show you this, here is a very special GP Vintage 45 th...
I have a really hard time picking the watch that I love, because if I didn't love them all it wouldn't be in my collection...however, some watches carry more significant meanings and stories behind it, so for me, it's this Reverso GT. ...
It's what? 3 weeks, now, that you are offering us some superb pictures of some not less sublime vintage Breitlings? You're not only " Only 5402 ", definitely. ;) Best, Nicolas
......can I love anything that is inanimate? Probably not. But I can love something because it reminds me of someone I love....yes....psychologists might call this displacement.....but I love these ones..... ...
Joe, I was expecting something related with "the other brand" but JLC (Nico's put a spell on us) seems to be a common disease. Love the first shot. Cheers, Nilo
Hi Baron, I fully consent your statement. If you look at my post a bit further downwards you may read it. As far as I am concerned a watch I got from my father (his engagement gift from my mum) and another one from my wife shortly after we were married ar...
my first and surely not the better ones around. It will not be an easy love endeavor.....originality, condition, completeness, a reliable source, etc. Hopefully will get closer after a few trial and error. Cheers!
Hello Nilo, It's a French Air Force issued chronograph, 2000 made between 1954 & 1955 The watch is powered by caliber Lemania 15TL including the flyback function and therefore called Lemania 2040, the only one with the bridge signed "type 20" (pics fr...
.. that's the case, on and off the wrist !.. Some subtle play of colors, case/ polished vs brushed, but also dial vs slightly orange hands, and crosshair on my ss-version, plus some reflexes from light, generate a certain mesmerizing appeal .. - Well, gue...
Hi Nilo, thank you for your challenging topic of this week´s wrist shot! I look at it like Baron in his post: to feel love for inanimate things may be a problem or soon become one. In history, art und literature people who fall in love for material things...
Comes handy. My local language (Portuguese) or some others (French, Italian etc.) have many ways to express what in English is summarized with "Love". Anyway, the English "love" works fine, because of the contextual nature of the language. We understand t...
Obviously we do not only share our taste in watches! BTW, your selection of JLC, Breguet and Rolex watches is quite attractive for me as well. Best regards anaesdoc
... and I am about to leave for the airport to go home now.... :-) Sorry for my late entry - I had been so tied up here (not airplane, but on the business trip). My usual, trusted Lange 1 MP! Ken ...
... As a matter of fact... isn´t watch collecting about a permanent discovering of a new love in the following piece we catch? An endless search for a definitive & unique love which we never get to find? I can´t sincerely chose just one. Most of them ...
... a 5513 gloss gilt dial underline. Great patina indeed! I got my first Submariner, a 5513 in 1966 (regretably not this one, but a very similar one) and a Sub has been my permanent (and almost only watch) for around forty years. And old faithful compani...
... Submariner has lived on my wrist for so many many years!!... (Don´t tell anybody, but sometimes I wear one watch in each wrist!) Have a nice week end Nilo! Very cordially, Abel.
