Week End Wrist Scan: No theme, just freedom, pleasure, fun, whatever you want.
For me, it will be this Royal Oak jumbo. Which is stuck on my wrist for 3 days, now.
Sporty, Chic, Sport Chic, captivating, elegant, this is the kind of Watch which give to the others the feeling you totally lack education and politeness as you can't help looking at its dial, not because you are bored, but just for the selfish pleasure to admire time.
Here is a fresh wrist shot, taken yesterday with our friend hs 111 who was in town for an intimate GTG. Just him and me...
And some watches.
Show us your wrist!
HAGWE,
Nicolas

Still no change

A month!

This damn black thing is in my list for so long!
Sublime. One of the most desirable Memovoxes. Bravo, JML. Nicolas
Eventually
I'm sure you'll get one eventually, but I understand the frustration of having something on your wish list and having to search a long time. I look forward to your post when you eventually get one. Good hunting Cheers JML
It's a different relationship ...
... to wear the same watch for long periods. I tend to do this now, or at most have two watches (dressy + sporty) in rotation. I feel more 'connected' with the piece than changing every day or so. I can understand why you are wearing the Master Moon so of...
More connected
Hi Thanks. Think you're right - makes you feel more connected with a watch if you wear it for longer. Def enjoy wearing my Master Moon for extended periods. The only downside is that sometimes the down time between wearing can be rather extended. Think it...
this weekend i'm wearing my newly aquired 1964 Grand Seiko chronometer
i consider myself to be very very lucky as this is the mintiest 50 year old watch i've ever seen. i mean, totally spotless, but original. one member of the seiko group on facebook said that it appears to be one of the first of that model due to the'star' ...

Congratulations Graham for that beautiful Seiko Vintage..
... I love the brand and bought my first watch with my job in the 70s and was a seiko!! All the Best Juan

Great shot of the 103, Geo
It is a perfect driving watch with visibility from the side. Love it! Have a great weekend. Andrew

Very nice one, Fred. Once again. Best, Nicolas

Your pictures are always a pleasure to admire, Livius.
Today is no exception! Best, Nicolas
Pleasure and fun ...

The Snoopy Award ...

A little bit old guy....
... but very nice for its age :-) Handsome, with 35 stones! HAGWE! Ken ...
very nice. a citizen chronomaster...
very nice. a citizen chronomaster from 64 would be very nice in my collection. G
Ah, you know very well....
.. yes, this is the "special" version with 2 additional stones.... But the accuracy did not come back to the good old day standard (while GS can be re-adjusted to super high accuracy...). But, fully restored by Citizen, it looks cool, eh? Ken
You are turning vintage, Ken? Nice specimen, in superb condition.
Day Date, too? Best, Nicolas
Yes, I am!
Day, date, in early 70s, I think. Serviced and adjusted by Citizen people. Vintage is more affordable in today's my lifestyle :-) I love historically important pieces! Ken
Free topic.. Sounds nice.. Should be some options .. :)
.. Well I'll start with some pieces that got some extensive wrist time recently: Chronos they were, and Vintage as well: Let's begin with my beloved Type XX - always a pleasure.. Spring blossoming ..and the Breguet Chrono Type XX on a sunny day .. :)) Nex...
Well, the two first are well known, but the third one...
A premonition? ;) HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas.
Dr Mamadu is a mindreader.. And yes, maybe a good precognition.. Hopefully so !.. :))
.. something like that one, really is in my focus.. - next to some other deliberations, we were also discussing ! ;) :) Thanks for the kind comment, my friend ! Best, hs
Yep.. Will work on that.. With my "new" approach for collecting .. Will know then ..
.. whom to be grateful, then ! Renewed quest, but updated " technique" Thanks for elucidating & guidance, too ! Best again & HAGWE ! hs PS: - relaxing and getting ready for the DD ( Deadly Duo), ehhh ?
OK, understood.. I'll surrender.. But with prospects for newly defined targets.. ;))
.. Thanks so much ! You might not be aware, how much I enjoyed our talks " Au bord de la Seine", and at CC (Coffee & Croissants) and macrons - and these will have their future repercussions .. - Also when sitting in front of several treasures.. Hmmmm.. Pr...
Production 1971.. Attested by Breguet Archives.. Type XX 2nd generation..
.. the cherry on the cake is, the concomitant docs ( original Box by Chaumet/ Breguet - Paris and a devotion gift card document inside), show that the piece was given as a Xmas present from one brother to his elder brother.. ) - Somehow a story, where you...
Great story for a grand watch. This XX is such a classic
and the 2nd generation is a true classic. I am sure it is in the best home possible. Best, Tim
Yes, thanks a lot for your kind looking.. They are nice to see, but even better to wear..
.. will have to hunt for my special 1016 still ! - will be taking some more time, I guess !.. Best & HAGWE, Fernando ! hs
Indeed, that has been a goal for some time now.. Still waiting for a really nice one!.. :)
.. thank you for kind looking ! Yes, finding one with the right patina in very good condition will still take a while, I guess.. Best and HAGWE ! hs
Perfect Watches
Yesterday, a friend and fellow purist and I were discussing various watches and brands. We seemed to feel that every watch had some point which we would want to change. After all, we said no watch is absolutely perfect . At the time I was moaning about a ...
I'll play, Joe ;-)
Here are a few I consider perfect, although you may disagree. Not a damn thing I would change on any of them. All in current production, I might add. HAGWE all. Best, respo ...
Yep, you are correct
except for the hacking seconds issue :) Of course 1955 does not have any seconds, so I would agree, and I just love that movement. White metal...................? hagwe respo Joe
Planning to
strap this one on some time this weekend. May be a bit formal/dressy, but I just attached the new brown strap so I got to wear it and admire the new combo. Great Weekend to all, CC ...
Without the Date, it would have been perfect ( for me )!
Didn't know this one! Best, Mike. Nicolas
Yes, it's one of only 200 in this style, so rarely seen
Known as the 8828ti Klassic, this Sinn is 40mm, which was big for the time (90's) and has a nice display back. Generally I agree with you on date windows, but this one is so unobtrusive and so well-matched to the dial, I think I like it. Besides, at least...
Amanico!
Thank you for reminding me, but I unfortunately did not have time this weekend and t thanks to you others too /Anders
Freedom, pPleasure and Fun! great motifs to chose a favorite...
... timepice for our week end! I guess I will be wearing same old watch in my wrist since the last 10 days: Reference 2451 Omega chrono, circa very early 1940´s. This is a Pilots watch, bought for Argentine Military Pilots, and marked with the official em...
Am I wrong or is this your 2d Military Chrono from Omega???
Superb, Amigo... Exactly my kind of stuff... WOW! Un fuerte abrazo de despues Semana Santa. ;) Nicolas
Yes, yes, that´s right mi amigo! I knew you would like it! ...
... I was greatly surprised when I found this one, and with a very different dial. Obviously this second one is an older version, and much less visible in a cockpit due to its design and relative small size for a Pilot´s watch (35 mm). Here I show you my ...
What beauty Abel..!!!
wonderful Chono... an Omega with story!!! Un fuerte abrazo a ver si tomamos un cafecito!! Juan
Hola Juan!! Thank you so much.... I´m glad you like this little old...
... chrono, with a lot of history behind. You are right, we need to meet and have a cafecito and chat a bit about our things. Let me pass through some troublesome business here and will call you to arrange a meeting! I´m sure we have some nice things to s...
Finally home for the weekend . . .
. . . after a busy Thursday (knocked out in the third round of the 8-ball tournament) and unexpectedly busy Friday. Wearing the grey Karrée . . . . . . for the first time since last June. Not for the first time since last June: Anchor Bock. :-) ...
Rest . . .
. . . is for quitters! :-) Practiced at the local pool hall yesterday, off to the seaside dive bar in a few hours for more punishment ;-) . . .
Hey! Cool to have you here, Fendalton!
A warm welcome here, among your brothers in Madness... ;) Do you have some pics of the movement? That is the nicest cherry on a very delicious cake. All the best, and see you here more often! Nicolas
