That is a very cool hand! HAGWE Blomman

. . . this? :-) ...  

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 ...  

With such Romans...?! :) Stunning! HAGWE Blomman

Romans & Richard Lange :-) Thanks for such great photos. Best, -- Richard.

Langematik Anniversary, RL, Lange One, Cabaret... All are masterpieces. Best, Nicolas

.. very nice one! Ken

. . . work for me, too. One of the 1845 Karrées I'd want to acquire is the Roman version; very few made, and hard to find. Cordially, Art ...  

Na, just kidding - about the rust... Not the metal! HAGWE Blomman ...  

is to see. A Blomman chronograph.

. . . just a little more compact. Hmmm . . . could be a trend! ...  

Yes, similar and yes, I think this "trend" will stay for some time! :) Best Blomman

I will start a HoMe thread shortly on perfect dial designs. This GP is a contender for me. Congratulations. Andrew

Thank you, Andrew! :) Yes, this one really hits the "golden ratio" for me as well! Best Blomman

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... 

Yes, my friend - I am...! :) I have seen the light! If I only could find a black dialed one as well.... All the best to you and yours! Blomman

I can't stand anticipation any more :) :)

You reminded me that I should post something over at the Omega forum soon...! HAGWE Blomman

. . . Connie is positively blushing ;-) . . .

Panerai Cazzomir A Joke, which was never released, well, AFAIK. The good old times... Best, Nicolas. ...  

I'm crying :) :) Is it LE or boutique edition or OOR? :)

avra qualche macchina a frizione ma C..., no! Abbraccio Francois

A bit strange, that I don't quite know, if I'll like it - or not !?.. - Thx in advance ! Best, hs

Maybe to prolong that theme a bit further, how about this: A new inspiration every hour....or maybe every 5 min? HAGWE, CC PS: NOT MY WATCH !!! ...  

could not go with this myself honestly, because I wouldn't know what to do at 6 o'clock. :D

. . . the positional errors ;-) . . .

Time for a gathering? All the best, Nicolas

Let me know when you will be there! Best, my friend massi

. . . another great homage from OP ;-) . . .

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

. . . the trend is building . . .

...if Anders sees this, and posts his perfect photos of his chiselled, glinting, Longines indices??? :-( Cheers, pplater.

He saw it :) Yours D P.S. That Longines will be the end of me

. . . to make this shot ;-) . . .

... 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

... indexes which distinguish this otherwise plain and humble watch. Thank you for your comments my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.

But isn't Dexter full of surprises, too? ;) Very elegant one, Amigo. Un abrazo, Nicolas

... 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 ... 

Never seen this one before - lovely.

... 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.

. . . that 'pops'! It's hard to think of another that stands out so well . . .

... 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 ... 

However, I think it's better on the wrist than in pics. HAGWE :) fernando ...  

And I am happy to see you happy! All the best, Nicolas

. . . heavenly spheres . . . . . . as the seconds hand lines up with a marker . . . ...  

...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. ...  

A nod to the past to create something new. Stunning.

. . . for Kari Romans . . .

. . . but, curiously, it's difficult to recall any posted here. The Movado must have fans, surely? . . .

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 ...  

. . . for Kari's classic. Especially partial to the Reverso, Joe . . . the simpler versions portray the essence of the design best.

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

HAGWE! -- Richard. ...  

She's a wonderful, wearable B-Uhr! Best, -- Richard.

Week after week I always feel better after seeing your images, Patrice. Thanks for this one too. Love these coloured Reverso's. Andrew

There so much to love with those 1940's original, untouched Breitling dials. Many thanks for sharing this very nice picture. Ztirual

. . . 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 ...  

maybe it's better when you are not posting on WS :) :) Awesome shot---hard core vintage Yours D

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...

. . . we've come to expect. Thanks for joining in, Livius.

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 ...

Great collection HS.

. . . are personal favorites, h, judging by the macro image of your '70s Memovox. I should've guessed that bars would be the community favorite! :-)

Matt ...  

to show Matt. Such a personal and varied selection you have. HAGWE.

I set a limit at less than 10!...love your Breitling shot!... Matt

especially that "12"

At least for this there is no discussion as to original or relumed!!!... Matt

. . . of caramelized black lacquer and indexes is absolutely delicious!

diamonds, I think it is not ;) And my favorite HAGWE Anders ...  

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

knockout dial.

. . . that is one distinctive Zenith chronometer. Circa late '60s, correct?

... like these: Marcus ...  

I love UN roman index :-) Ken

. . . it is I never acquired a modern Omega? That SM AT has so much character! One of these days . . .

... 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

On a not so plain watch... Have a great weekend! Andrew ...  

Orange is the new black.

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>

Well done, Andrew. Best, Nicolas
