Friday 17/10 Wristscan - Be free: Show the watch that you love

Oct 16, 2014,11:03 AM
 

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 ... another love.




Show your watch(es) that you love.

It's a free theme. Anywhere, anyhow.

A wonderful weekend to all,

Nilo

Pictures that thrill me but reminds me I'd rather be on a beach than at work

Too tempting and beautiful. Alas, work is required to fund the love. Beautiful watches and pictures to match, Art.

If it's Wednesday . . .

. . . 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...

Ah, but do you love some . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 16th, 2014-11:35
. . . more than others? :-) I love all of mine, too, especially now that the cursed IWC is gone, but yes, I do love some more than others.

Answering to this question is like answering to our fav theme...

" 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...

Thank You :-)

 
 By: SALMANPK : October 16th, 2014-15:23
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 ... 

The Pre-Richemont IWCs are fantastic watches ...

 
 By: nilomis : October 16th, 2014-17:32
Its a bad luck that they are very hard to find, here where I live. Cheers, Nilo

The one I love the most

 
 By: Geo : October 17th, 2014-00:31
is this Tank Cintrée, but it is not the one that I wear the most. Great topic this week! HAGWE guys, GEO ...  

One word ...

 
 By: nilomis : October 17th, 2014-04:53
Outstanding. Educate us: What means "Cintrée" and why the hour marks has those symbols? Cheers, Nilo

Arabic

 
 By: Geo : October 17th, 2014-07:49
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

If I had a Cartier, one day, that would be this one. But chances are small...

 
 By: amanico : October 17th, 2014-09:17
As the bird seems to be quite rare.... Best, Geo, and thanks. Each time I see this one, you make my day. ;) Nicolas

Your new love ...

Beautiful pieces all of them..

Especially the Rolex and the Breguet, such sublime dials, warm and beautiful. S

Several others may also qualify, in your nice collection, my friend.

Unrequited love...

...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 ...  

And you are 100% correct ...

I really like your Mark XII, Nilo...

 
 By: rnaden : October 17th, 2014-08:09
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. ...  

Your Reverso GT ...

 
 By: nilomis : October 17th, 2014-08:42
