this is very interesting. I thought it was a Panerai invention. The whole Rolex Bubbleback chapter is something I hardly know anything about but I am sure it has a huge following for a very good reason. What a wonderful advertisement you posted, btw. HAGW...

Both - but on different watches
By: jml_watches : September 20th, 2019-13:32
Hi Think I have more Arabics than Romans, but then I realised I have lots of batons too. I'll just stick to the first two though. Big crown ready for it's close up. Urushi with company Cheers JML ...
Good solid entry ;-)

Those Two Would Be...
By: elliot55 : September 22nd, 2019-11:01

By: ChristianDK : September 20th, 2019-21:20
I think you just won your own competition. I really have a big thing for the VH. My only concern is if it would get enough wrist time. But every time I see a picture of it I’m thinking that I want one..
Christian, not sure I can win as the host...
By: Tim Jackson : September 20th, 2019-23:20
It is a theme I’ve thought long about as previously stated, my preference tend towards Romans and in my collection they feature more prominently. However, two of my very fav. pieces are the VH Classic and the L&H Georg. Both Arabic! Hence the dichotomy of...
One each...
By: S F : September 20th, 2019-22:17

SF, two great pieces!

The IWC is stunning and is my pick out of your two. Love a moonphase and romans Thanks for playing along. Cheers

Hi Tim, thanks for taking the time to host! Let me think.. Ok let’s play this week with just one watch. May I share a couple of photos of my Cartier Monopoussoir from the Collection Privee Cartier Paris Best regards and HAGWE ...

The HM in plat just squeaks by as the winner of these two for me. But both are genius! Cheers
Game over 😬
By: Watchonthewrists : September 21st, 2019-13:31
You just killed it my friend . What a amazing RG pair . Love them
Not so sure -
By: Watch_time_it_is : September 21st, 2019-13:47
Lots of tough competition including several independents like The debethune and your NHC. Besides - the judge and I are always on opposite sides of the table so sure he’ll have preference for someone else
fantastic choice Mike !
By: Seeks : September 21st, 2019-05:21
and to top it off with the pocket watch. have a great weekend !
Do you like it ?
By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-08:00
Or do you prefer this one?... But as duo it is even better isn’t it ? 🤪 ...
Mike, there are three potential winners there!
By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:17
The LF I’ve loved since setting eyes and handling one in Basel many moons ago! Your PW with the Guilloche Dial is superb, plus a family piece to boot. Well the WG VH Classic with the RG Dial is the natural sibling to mine! Perhaps one day I’ll come across...
Well the 2 VH are not mine...
By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-08:21
I shot them at Vianney’s workshop when I was there this summer 😉 Cool watches actually...
Ah, that workshop!!!

The VC Overseas is excellent! Certainly qualifies! Thank you for playing this weekend😉 Cheers
Thank you for entering these two!
By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:25
I like the composition too, have been a big fan of Tutima for a while. Good folks doing really good watches reasonably. The vintage piece has a lovely Dial! Cheers
Excellent post!
By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:28
Thank you for these two lovely wristshots. That DeBethune is a new model for me. Looks to be an early piece??? Love it. Cheers

By: Hamster07 : September 22nd, 2019-01:23
The watch has a 42mm case with an in-house hand-wound mechanical movement. The case back is solid and individually numbered. Not sure about the total amount of production though.
Well it seems I have lots of Arabics...
By: InDebtButOnTime : September 21st, 2019-08:37
lots of batons and only a few with Romans. This whole thing got me to thinking strange thoughts, would there even be any timepieces with a digital readout without Arabics? How would the speedo on my Ninja look with Romans (Yikes)! Anyway here's a piece I ...
Great Junghans!
By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:46
I agree, those are tremendous Arabics! Great clean Chrono design from the Germans. Cheers
Nice one, B

... with a Cali dial. You show two superb examples of Roman index watches to open the thread. You know it’s not easy for me to restrict a post to just a couple of shots! But here they are: no more than two! Lol! Roman and Arabic both are very nice to view...
