17th of April 2015: Your maddest shots.

 
 By: amanico : April 16th, 2015-11:52
Ok, it is time to show us your maddest shots of your favourite watches. OR, if you are too lazy for that, just the Watch you have on your wrist, which could be a mad Watch as well, after all. I selected some shots. The craziest wrist shot, to show the dan...  

My dear friend Nicolas: I personally feel that your shot...

showing the radiations can´t be surpassed! That´s the craziest wrist scan I ever viewed and can´t think of a wilder one! LOL! You already got the winner there my friend! Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel.

Here we go ... Not for the faint of heart - gross pics ahead.

Team, I\'m, again, on a hospital bed recovering from a leg surgery (aneurysm on both legs!). Fits the theme? Mandatory wrist shot: Fundamental B&W shot: The JLC Geophysic was the watch selected to be with me this week. Now the good news. 1) They will be m...

Now I want to go to wearing Bermuda shorts and bump to a guy that asked, when he saw my first cut. "What the hell was that?" My prompt reply was "Jaws". If he asks again ... "Jaws 2, of course. Cheers, Nilo Note: The strap is a CF Cordovan. Older it gets,...

Mad; maddest; maddening...

 
 By: pplater : April 16th, 2015-21:55
Maddeningly beautiful… What is maddeningly beautiful? Elegant curves. Luscious curves. Sensuous curves, in all things: Oh – and in watches particularly, of course. These maddeningly beautiful curves are new to the watchbox, and not before time. True,...  

We share the same taste for curves, my friend. Wow!

 
 By: amanico : April 16th, 2015-22:25
This 246 Dino... My dream car, since I am a child. And I stayed a child... ;) Best, Nicolas

Same here!...

 
 By: pplater : April 16th, 2015-23:22
Whoever does not love the curves of the Dino has no blood in his veins ( errrr , Vlad excused!). The sad thing is that the ability to acquire and drive one is in inverse proportion to an appropriate age; we are going to look very silly as balding, decrepi... 

I fear you are right. Some 15 years ago, I ran after one...

 
 By: amanico : April 16th, 2015-23:24
15 years later, I am still running after one, but the distance has dramaticaly increased between me and the Dino... :( Best, Nicovlad.

Aaah Pplater, you are a sorcerer......

 
 By: Sandgroper : April 16th, 2015-23:53
The 246 is a marvel of marvels! Hmmm, I can imagine myself wearing a RD in a Dino 246GT (I am not old yet) but I would skip Uma for Ummagumma though;) Cheers Francois

LOL! Agreed, 100%. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : April 16th, 2015-23:58

You would skip Uma for Ummagumma...

Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Carbon Fiber - a great balance between classicism and modernity. Formal without being stuffy; large enough to have presence without being clownish. Versatile without being bland; one of the watches I miss when it is too long off...  

Well, this is mad, from my wife's perspective.

 
 By: Luis6 : April 19th, 2015-05:24
I took this photo with a prayer: "Dear God, please soften my wife's heart so that she will allow me to get some more watches..." ...  

Actually, this is a very reasonable wish...
