Watches and Food ...
Team,
It's already Friday 00:00 AM in the glorious country/city of Singapore.
Let's show our watches and the edible materials (drinks are included) that we take with:
Pineapple and Mango
Just pineapple
Vodka is considered as food on some places of this planet
"Ardoise" dial remembers chocolate to me
Our dream team of judges are ready and isolated on a spy satellite orbiting Earth.
Let's see your tasty watches and food.
A great weekend to all,
Nilo (The watcher of this week)

Great theme
But more importantly, today is St Valentine Day. In my culture, on this day girls give guys chocolates. This can be to boyfriends, husbands, or just colleagues, bosses, and associates, in which case it is called Giri-choco (given as a duty and not affecti...
Details on the pocket watch, please . . .
. . . for those of us fascinated by the timepieces of yesteryear. That it's English is easy to tell, but not much else, I'm afraid . . .
English is correct !
Nothing special I'm afraid. A JW Benson dating to the 1920's that I picked up on a whim down Portobello Road. I liked the unusual black dial with gold numerals. Dean ...
Very unusual ...
At least here at the tropics, a pocket watch with a black dial. I believe that the black dials at that time didn't survive the hot & wet climate here. Cheers, Nilo
Humm ...
I doubt that the crab over the Polaris is edible but ... Vlad eats anything. Cheers, Nilo
Not only YOU will have the embarass of choice.. As .. ;)
..for many here it woulf be a more than difficult choice, I, myself will choose the UN on the coffee cup as my number one for food ( coffee !), watch and shot.. ( sorry judge(s), no prejudice.. hope you don't edit out), - but all the other ones are pure j...
No worries ...
No one can influence the judges. They are the cream of the crop. Cheers, Nilo Note: But I bet that the coffee under the UN is ... cold.
The UN Sonata was a lucky shot, indeed.
I have a soft spot for the Reverso Red, too... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Love that shot of the Rouge
it is a very nice watch to photograph and to have of course. GEO
is that a tropical dial nikolas?
I almost fainted . One of the sexiest GMT ever. We have to meet on day for a tropical delight. Amazing collection you hv sir Best Iceman
The Crab is a classic! :)
Here is a Swedish version...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman ...
A very nice theme.. Let me adress a bit the variety.. :)
.. of food and watches.. Delicious both A good Sacher's Cake, Coffee & Milgauss GV For sure no lemon.. Gd R GMT .. Ready for plucking Two candies and a ticket.. :)) Cool shot .. On a hot day ! .. DSA - EU Cucina Italiana.. Molto buono.. Have a great W...
1/ Thank you for these kind words.. 2/ as per Sacher's..
., there are of course always 2 options: - one is sending it.. - bringing it along, has several advantages.. I am of course open to any preferences .. Thank you again Best hs :)
"Vodka is considered as good on some places of this planet"
Is there any other places? ;) Cheers HAGWE D
Food not good but ...
It's also good. Typo, already corrected. It must be the heat wave that's broiling our brains here. Four full weeks of misery. Cheers, Nilo
Hear you loud and clear dear Nilo
Food ...good...it's all same to me :) :) Best regards from 0 degrees ...Celsius of course ;) Damjan
Congratulations for the 3K post ...
That is a nice milestone. We should have a rank somewhere but I bet that you entered on a very selected club. Cheers, Nilo
believe it or not..
I had this bottle at the Napa Rose in the Grand Californian at Disneyland, CA
Two Californian ...
Believe it or not, we don't drink any Californian wines. For reasons that only our insane government and explain, Californian (or any US made wine) receives more tax than any others. Cheers, Nilo
Food, but most of all drinks !
What i found from the last twelve months ... I can conclude that my LLD saw A LOT of wrist time .... ... and i had a lot of "drinking" time :-) .... HAGWE Filip ...
Mozzarella, basil, tomato and balsamic vinegar are ...
... a match made in heaven, Nilo. Andrew
Now that you mentioned ...
We just finished a pizza with those exact ingredients plus a little slices of Parmesan. Did I already mentioned that we have the best pizza on this side of the universe? Wood oven, naturally. Heaven. No pictures. No time for that. Cheers, Nilo
A healthy choice.
Vintage better but a modern Daytona will do. :) HAGWE and thanks for looking. Fernando ...
Fresh and Crisp, Fernando!
Just don't bite into the Daytona! :-) Enjoy the weekend, Alex
From the pool side
Spending the day at the pool today with the Destination 03. No dinner time yet! Have a great weekend Gents! GEO ...
Check out the titanium version
I mean the non DLC coated one, Destination 02. Very high tech looking watch and way different than the DLC one. GEO
Is that a dual time zone?
Or what is the sub dial for? Never seen this one before... Best Blomman
Sipping locally brewed red ale yesterday . . .
. . . and grilling tuna steaks this afternoon . . . . . . all the while with the go-to G O on my wrist. Off shortly to the local pool hall for a few hours of practice. My game is pretty good these days, but so is . . . . . . the competition. That's Jim si...
If you asked me to choose one watch from my collection . . .
. . . to wear every day forever, this would be the one. The experience of winding the movement is reason enough - it's both exceptionally smooth and tactile. Easy to find one quality or the other, but both? Not often . . .
Years ago, your guess would've been right on the money . . .
. . . but these days, I've succumbed to the allure of elegant manual winding watches. The pleasure of winding a watch is . . . special.
That I can easily understand, Art.
Hand wound movements add something very " intimate " between you and your Watch... Hmmmm. Best, Nicolas
Hey, ale is one of . . .
. . . my four basic food groups, along with chocolate, cheese, and guacamole ;-) . . .
We also like Guacamole ...
Very spicy, but as a starter to go with vodka or beer (those days crossing the 100F). Later (stop reading if you are a vegetarian) followed by a nice and juicy steak, direct from our Argentinean grill (coal, of course). Cheers, Nilo
Ah, guacamole . . .
. . . is a Dr No specialty! And while I usually prefer Mexican beer with my guac (partial to Corona now that Chihuahua is no longer available) . . . . . . blanco tequila works wonders, too! ...
Ah, my recipe . . .
. . . includes, among other vittles, Roma tomato and jalapeño peppers. Have you ever tried preparing chips from Japanese daikon radishes? Guac scooped by radish chips is the bomb!
Never. Nice hint ...
In special that I'm trying to reduce my weight by cutting carbs. Not that I need but my wife like me when I look like a starving one. Cheers, Nilo
Playing pool, outdoors . . .
. . . grilling, quaffing freshly brewed ale in the afternoons - yes, life is good! I've even found an interesting vintage Seamaster in the last few days; pop by the Omega forum tomorrow for details. Warm regards, Art
I can't decide!
Watch on chocolate - yummy JLC and basil, tasty Daytona on green fruit or whatever - excellent But how about a superb obscure watch with an obscure superb wine? Cazalea ...
A Credor is hardly obscure ...
Is very rare here (never saw one in metal) but is very nice. Cheers, Nilo
Lovely credor
...and if the '82 is anything to go by,the Salon will be simply elegant! best henry
Unforgettable gastro watch lunch
Aperitif Starters Main course Dessert Best, Laurent ...
The "dessert" Carreras ...
Is gorgeous. I'm hooked on contrasted sub dials. Cheers, Nilo
I'm not a Rolex person, for several reasons ...
But this one ... sings to me. Congratulations, Nilo
I only see sweetness ...
What a wonderful chronograph. I need, badly, to learn more about VC. The only VC pieces that I already saw "in metal" are what I categorize as dressy pieces but yours is gorgeous. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Nilo, this is really a Jewel. You're right....
it would need much, much more lemon to give it even the slightest of a sour taste:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Wow, Francois!
What a great photo of a gorgeous chronograph! Honestly, there is not a version of the Historiques Chronograph that I do not love. I could collect them all. Greedy respo
It was definitely unintended, after all it was your....
pictures and your review which made my heart beat so fast that I thought I'd better acquire one before I kick the bucket due to a heart attack:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
The watch is great but ...
The chocolate bars are outstanding. Back to the watch, it's one of the best Daytona incarnations (I'm not a particular fan of the ultra bling modern ones). Cheers, Nilo
My two favorite things...
...watches and food...food and watches. I cannot get enough of either. HAGWE all! respo ...
I can't recall
...that was taken at a meal in Berlin 2-3 years ago. I do remember it was yummy! The VC chocolats are a lovely holiday treat, that is for sure. Best, respo
The first one. The GMT ...
Wonderful color on the background. Matt, you are the one. Cheers, Nilo
I believe that chocolate is ...
The PuristSPro food of choice. Beautiful watch and strap. I love to see a Daytona on a strap. Ultra cool. Cheers, Nilo
One more from Sicura
Very strong visuals with this watch from the 70\'s. At the time they must have been considered huge. Today they fit right in. Bill ...
A true Purist watch ...
Bill, Amazes me this hobby where we can find, from time to time, some watches that, despite the low cost or fame, touches us like this Sicura did with you. Cheers, Nilo
Very powerful language.
I need to post a few more. The DNA is there across the range. HAGWE Bill PS the Doxa Collection will need to exposed also. Think "Doxa 300 Black Lung"
Recently I could learn about Sicura ...
A common mistake, at least here, is to believe that Sicura was a Japanese brand (I could bet on that, just few months ago). Then I learn more about Sicura and how Ernst Schneider acquired Breitling, run the two companies and then decided to drop Sicura. S...
Absolutely correct Sicura / Breitling
When the quartz movement took over the industry in the 1970 Breitling was on the verge of bankruptcy and not ready to drop their beliefs in watch instruments the Italian industrialist acquired Breitling. Both companies remained separate entities and there...
Are you trying to achieve what you did with Doxa?
I love these watches off the beaten paths... Best, Nicolas
I know literally nothing about this brand...
please tell us more, my friend! :) Best Blomman
Next week i will a post together
The collection needs pictures to do it justice. Bill
Nice PAM with ...
A spooky food. Lettuce and fig on a battle!! Are you, my friend on a diet? Cheers, Nilo
You are right!
Strange food but, I had a huge steak after that.... Diet? I have to... but not now!!
Nothing fancy... Home cooked V-day dinner...
Starter Main course Desert Happy V-day everybody! Best Blomman ...
Just hold a second ...
Is my iPad defective or I'm seeing a chronograph? You use to say "I'm not a chronograph person".... What changed? Cheers, Nilo
LOL, Nilo. The white one is a Chronograph, yes, but for Ladies.
It is not Blomman's one. Blomman, please, confirm it is not yours!!! ;) Best, guys. Nicolas
You better get a new iPad! ;)
Na, that is NOT my watch! Even if I do dress well in light-blue and diamonds...! ;) That is the second generation JLC Ladies Compressor Chronograph. I think I might have been a bad influence... She alredy made a move into JLC, Omega and Rolex But, worst o...
Espresso ...
Love the PAM and love the espresso. What is on the left side? Ice cream? Cheers, Nilo
Don't be shy ...
Tomorrow you must take another shot with your "special" Sunday breakfast. I will help you. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you...
Amanico, Nilo and Blooman! :) Nilo, its ice cream! Let's keep the photo of my "special"sunday breakfast for another ocasion... Cheers
This UN ....
Tastes great. Major regrets. I passed one for sheer ignorance about the brand. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
Hi Nilo,
They do occasionally pop up for sale, highly recommend this watch! It's been a great travelling watch, being sort of bullet proof. Cheers, Tim
This UN is on my short list ...
I only had one UN, a Dual Time. I let it go on a trade, but yours has some undefined cool factor that I love. Cheers, Nilo
This Nomos ...
Just add some spicy mustard (Australian...The best) and call the day. Believe me, I never saw a Nomos in metal. Cheers, Nilo
A few from the archives.....
great to start off the meal with must eat all your vegetable then you can eat chocolate Mmm sticky wine goes well with chocolate I think the dial is redone! ...
Thanks Guys. Chocolate is single origin- Brand= Willies Chocolate

Evening snack at Johnny's Pastrami for some delicious hot pastrami sandwiches and chili cheese onion rings. Yum! Have a great weekend. Regards, ED-209 ...
The pastrami and the LW ...
Seems to be delicious. The Bulgari is gorgeous. The onion rings ... Oh my cholesterol!!!! Cheers, Nilo
Mmmmm...

Hi jporos, If you ever make your way over to Los Angeles let me know and we'll get the SoCal PuristS to take you for a Pastrami run... or chili dog fest, or.... :) Regards, ED-209
Sure thing!
Thanks Alex, hope you can stop by LA someday. Got some great eats to take you to. Hope all is well. ps - I'll trade you one pastrami sandwich for one of those delicious looking chile and brisket burritos! Regards, ED-209
You're on!
Thanks, Ed! Hopefully soon I can plan a visit to LA and I will take you up on those tasty treats you know of. Until then, all the best, Alex
