Team, Let's see your "off the record" watch. The one that you wear when doing non-professional activities. Here is my most recent one: It's a micro brand from Indonesia, Athaya Vintage. A clear homage to the Seiko 6105, with a modern "dressing". Since tod...  

A mid-day walk by the Thames river. The other Thames of course :) An early morning coffee run.... And last but not least ....playing with my watch against a living room standing lamp's light ;) HAGWE Edward ...  

My U1 is also my recreational watch. Like yours, literally indestructible. Cheers, Nilo

my Sinn is a lots of fun and I take pretty good care of it. :) Best Edward

Man, then I would sit in my car all day....! ;) HAGWE Blomman

but driving and sipping on a cup of coffee has this quality to it that is hard to explain, I enjoy it :) Cheers Edward

.. There are several, some with a special twist, others with special memories, or simply one, that I love to take along when " Off",, One, that I often take, to have two in one: Reverso Gd GMT She is a cute companion on the road.. JLC Parking E 3161..make...  

Sports, casual, formal. I'm waiting for my future U.S. DSA ... Five months and counting. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you for the reminder, HS. I need to bring mine out for the summer! :) HAGWE Blomman

An alltime fav for me Type XX - real love, yes.. Best & Cheers !! ...  

Dear hs111, your triplet is gorgeous. I particularly like the two sides of the Reverso which make for two watches within one case. Especially on holiday when you have a limited watch carrying capacity this is quite handy. The parking alarm JLC may be usef... 

It\'s pretty much as you described: - holiday triplet.. Also from my side HAGWE & Best to you & yours ! hs. )

... to make any watch fan very happy! I specially love the JLC TT DSA US! In my wish list definitively! Keep enjoying your beauties! ANd have a great week end my friend! Kind regards, Abel.

How about a boot camp holiday this summer to get into shape? … and bringing a suitable military watch. Mimo WWII “Dienstuhr Heer” HAGWE, CC ...  

Mimo later becomes GP? Yours is uber cool. Cheers, Nilo

so my understanding is that GP was bought by a German (!!!) Herr Graeff from Pforzheim in the early 20th century and they had the Mimo brand which in paticular was popular in America. For a while they sold basically GP watches branded Mimo in America, but... 

Yes, MIMO bought GP and GP survived, that part is true.... But, GP was used in North/south America and Asia while MIMO was more used in Europe. Best Blomman

That one you need to show me next time we meet! :) HAGWE Blomman

but as you can see I am more casual clothes than suits so ...  

That I'm hunting. Sporty and cool. I'm also a casual person and I don't know if my suit, notice the singular, fits. Cheers, Nilo

you could find one easily I think. from time to time one spotted on online sale as used.. but at least you are hunting for a NOS?

Because our customs are worst than a vampire to tax heavily anything. Cheers, Nilo

I know something in that subject.

Great watch, but not much talked about... HAGWE Blomman

pretty cool complication, sporty but not too much. I like it, sometime I wear it on rubber, sometime on leather. This is fun and quite versatile. Have a good week end too Tyo

about it ;) HAGWE ...  

Love was blue! ;) HAGWE Blomman

Hi All I don't tend to swap over for weekends - but here are a few of my more casual watches. HAGWE Cheers JML ...  

Is an amazing well designed watch. It makes an ideal beater. Cheers, Nilo

Hi Seiko 5s are great watches - amazing value, in hose movement & tough as old boots. Cheers JML

Hi Thanks. One of the reasons I chose it was due the fab dial. For me it really jumps out at you. Cheers JML

garlic... that can't end good :) Best D

So, if you want to have a gathering in North Italy... ;) Best, Nicolas

... I´m a bit surprised viewing it with the garlic background! Did you feel ok after the photo session? I was sure Vlad wouldn´t resist the "vista" of garlic! Lol! Sublime watch! I wish you a great week end my dear friend!! Abel.

To such experiences... ;) Un abrazo, Nicolas

A Seiko is a fundamental off-time watch. Obrigado, Nilo

I know at least two Purists that can't refuse such devilish appeal :) ;)

Have been wearing this baby for 21 days straight.. ...  

In special the Rolex, are great. Is a shame that I simply cannot wear one here where I live. Ten in ten robbers here are Rolex "collectors"!!! Cheers to the peaceful Malaysia. Thanks, Nilo

Where I am depending which area, robbers do go for the Crown too. During lunch or dinner in open or enclosed areas. Nowadays less of it happening...hopefully. But if u come here, do contact me so that I can offer you protection ;) it's pretty safe...not t...  

mostly in or around water. So I'm not taking any chances with water ingression. :) HAGWE! Fernando ...  

I miss mine, that as robbed. Strong and simple. A true beauty and your pictures made justice to it. Cheers, Nilo

Thanks for looking and have a most excellent weekend. ...  

the bezel measures a mere 39mm, small by today's standards for a diving watch. I do not have much info on the watch other than its ref. no. PMQ5-2043 and that its from from the late 90s. Titanium case, quartz movement (no info on the calibre), 200m water ... 

First I have to get there ... :D HAGWE folks ! ...  

Love this re edition. Massive, bold as a diver must be. Why Bora Bora and not Bali? Cheers, Nilo

adore the turtle case ... They dun make it like they use to !

Have a great weekend Ronald ...  

Looks like a 50's robot (yes, I'm old). Cheers, Nilo

I think the main idea of this watch is from the old robots:-) Have a great weekend... Regards, Ronald

Happy holidays Best Yiannis ...  

At land, sea and air. Cool blue strap. Cheers, Nilo

The perfect summer watch, the Casio W-59 Best Regards Livius ...  

A watch that everyone should have, at least one: We have four here, to "walk on the wild side". Cheers, Nilo

Being accustomed to your excellent photographs of your classic mechanical watches, you now show me a battery-driven quartz watch with a LED display!! Be careful that you will not be banned from this site :-) Anyway, the photographs are beautiful as ever, ... 

... very sturdy, spartan look, yet practical :-) HAGWE! Ken ...  

But with 45mm, it's way too big to me. Someday, Blancpain will release a smaller one. Beautiful ... perfect. Cheers, Nilo

.. 50th Anniversary model, thus 10 years ago, and back then "big, bigger, biggest" was not in fashion - good old days :-) My wrist is 16.5cm! Ken

Your version is VERY hard to find. Keep it safe. Cheers, Nilo

But it wears smaller, in the real. Best, and always a pleasure to see this lovely FF. Nicolas

... would make me happy if I could find one too! Nice watch and great picture as usual. My favorite off-time, week end and holiday watchpice is also a diver´s watch most of the time. I got a few favorites, but there is one I most often wear: a Rolex 14064...  

... no vacation trip is complete without some "window shopping" and watch stores are a nice thing to view!! Lol!! Will keep enjoying my watches for sure! Thank you so much again and have a great week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.

Were robbed. Since this time, I was never able to see one intact (all with replacement dials/hands and over polished case). I'm glad that you got a nice strap for your SM 300 Master. I believe that now, Omega has a leather one for it. Cheers, Nilo

... watch loses due to robbers I know how bad the feeling is. I regret ro read that! I know that replacing a real nice 6105 is not easy. As a matter of fact I have never seen one (even a poor one) in the real down here. The one you show is very nice and c... 

... nice and sturdy watch. Ideal for a vacation trip near sea, to scuba dive, or being at the beach or poolside. Looks good, feels good, a very cool watch with much vintage spirit. Have a nice week end my friend! Un afectuoso abrazo desde las Pampas del S... 

Rolex that should be in every household :) That is Rolex gold standard for me and that strap combo is very unusual and something that we don't see often Bravo dear Abel Needles to say that first photo is signature photography by Abel Yours D

... Yes, I feel that a Submariner (in some of the few variants I own) is the watch you´ll fin on my wrist most of the time. I would say it is my signature watch! Lol! The leather straps is a nice way of enjoying it, though I must accept not the best optio... 

take this with me for holidays. Pure robustness with good power reserve to boot. Cheers, SF BP FF ...  

What a gorgeous watch. It was robbed five years back. I still have the bracelet. Some day ... Cheers, Nilo

In Sao Paulo, I bet. :-(

HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...  

Tim will be fully responsible. Is not only the watch but the great pictures of it. Cheers, Nilo

From there best era design wise IMHO...I do think the current Marine Diver series has lost much of the magic of this period from 2004-2008. Oh well, I'm sure UN sells them all... Cheers, Tim

could be either this EZM 4 colourful [URL=] [/URL] or EZM 1, so underrated. [URL=] [/URL] Both with a tractor Lemania 5100, both uber qualitat :) Have great vacation times ...  

My definition of real tool watch. And you have two nice pieces. Cheers, Nilo

I usually travel with my favorite watches, but this one always accompanies the rest as it is the "indestructible" one. Homage to the original G Shock, 30th anniversary issue ...  

My favorite "do anything" watch. My problem with my Casios is the fact that they last forever and I start protecting each one as a favorite. Cheers, Nilo

good theme Nilo. Here's my Breguet Marine. Wore it this morning as i took my kids out to the playground by the beach. :) Love the blued Breguet hands and indices as they come alive in the sun :) Cheers Robin ...  

Glad you like this too. Cheers Robin

Robin, That's, IMHO, is the most beautiful off-work watch ever. This dial gives to me goosebumps!!! Cheers, Nilo

Hopefully the judges do too :p Cheers Robin

I usually take around 3 with me... Matt ...  

is just beautiful. I love the "halo" on plastic crystal. Cheers, Nilo

Dear Nilo, I will not really be able to mee your task and show my "holiday watch". Probably this Omega SM 300 might be an option as I like to wear it at the seaside: But I often feel it is the other way round: whenever I wear my favourite watches it seems...  

Is a holiday by itself. I share the same wish for the ones that can have a great summer holiday. Cheers, Nilo

In dreary old Seattle Where I hope every rain is followed with rainbows. ...  

Mike This Breitling is a classic. I had one, that I give to a dear friend. Someday I will grab another. Feels like a feather on the wrist. Cheers, Nilo

Of course I brought a steel watch too, for working out with my left arm. Cheers, Cazalea ...
