HAGWE, All. Nicolas...  

. . . with delicious patina! I remember this one well from the FF 'tour' a few years ago . . . g . . . when it was on display for a few weeks in So Cal....  

But both attended the FF World Tour. And both very pleasurable, for sure. All the best, my friend, and say hello to Lemmy for me! Nicolas

when it comes to panerai, i know that never means never...........i think.

If you had to cross over to the Rolex side, at least you picked the perfect reference and the best vintage year with which to do so. Congratulations! It looks great on you. Best, respo

thanks respo. im now looking for a strap to match the faded bezel just in case i feel like a change from the bracelet. is that sad or what...  

You should probably go ahead and get a Panerai now, too, and seal the deal. ;-) Really happy for you, though. I can totally see getting such a Rolex for myself, as well, some day.

haha, perhaps i should, but i wont...  

you'll be getting a Panerai next..!! Look forward to seeing this beauty in a couple of weeks time Moi.

I'm happy for you. As if I'm the one getting the watch. Nothing beats the satisfaction of achieving a dream. HAGWE Regards Tyler

thanks Tyler, very happy with it still, but watch this space as i found something interesting on my doormat when i came home this morning after a night away. check the same brand Forum when i get a chance to type it. best G

A very nice addition to your 64 theme! Best Blomman

thanks Blomman, its a great piece i never thought id own, but on my other wrist i have something that was poorly wrapped on my doormat today. same brand, but other end of the spectrum. just give me time to post. best G

if that was directed at me Bill, then yep, it feels great and i keep forgetting its there like an old T shirt. i know one day i will start reducing the 64 theme, but this is one of the icons that ill be proud to hand down to my son and hell be proud to ...  

After all those Omegas on your wrist, the 5513 looks fantastic. Unexpectedly it became one of my favourite watches. Hope you get a lot of pleasure. 48 years young! ;-) A

thanks Andrew, i think ive got most Omegas from the year so it was time to diversify. funnily enough i was on a live auction saturday night and missed a 320 calibre Omega chrono from 1964 which is something you very rarely see, but it was a project and ...  

... with all the extra bits? But at our age we have to start planning for that stuff! Andrew

im not sure new hands and plexi disqualifies it Andrew. the movement would only have needed a full service, but costs could have spiralled so away i walked. best Moi

... except for the watches we purchased from new, but although rare, the vintage pieces that have never been 'fiddled' with are a grail of sorts. I may change my mind on this when I have had a couple of joint replacements myself. ;-) Regards Andrew

ha ha, remember my T shirt all original parts. ill have to wear it a lot now as in about 10 years it wont be true...

I have really become quite attached to this Overseas in the 1 year+ I have been wearing it. Best, respo

. . . photo courtesy WHL. My memory was playing tricks - a brown dial, but obviously, not the same granular treatment as your Overseas....  

Yes, I think I have seen this one before, photos anyway, and I was curious about the brown grainy dial. Still, nice to see this one again. I really do like the Malte Chronograph a lot. Best, respo

Nice!

Good eye! Best, respo

... that dials a killer. Love the surface texture and the red highlight. Great atmospheric wrist shot. Andrew

up in Yorkshire which is famous for it's Fish & Chips....up north they cook em in lard and taste fantastic..!! I went for the large haddock today... With a pot of tea, mixed buttered bread and lots of ketchup..!! HAGWE, Andy....  

And you know how much I love these GMTs... Best, my friend. Nicolas

Whenever I visit my mum she knows it will involve a trip to her local F&C place...we used to go to Harry Ramsdens but it's not as popular these days, it used to always be a 1hr cue to get in with chandeliers inside and a pianist playing in the corner.... 

Looks like you needed the GMT to balance the plate or it would fall into you lap. HAGWE Bill

and very tasty it was too Yours, Andy.

but do not let your dietician see this photo ! I am sure you enjoyed your meal nonetheless - anaesdoc

Fish & Chips will be on the menu this weekend, while I am at work........A special treat and makes a change from sandwiches! The taste buds are working overtime HAGWE

cooked in lard ! a horror for your arteries, but tastes great. i see you've got on of them there Rolex thingies on the plate. very nice. G

you don't get them this good anywhere else in the country so it's only a treat when I visit mum..!! I'll have to start going more often...LOL See you soon dude.

Today I'm wearing my new German "love"... Sinn U2, 2000 meters, GMT. Quick and dirt pic, fresh from the camera. A great weekend to all, Nilo...  

. . . anywhere! Great pic, Nilo. Just goes to show that it's the photographer, and not the equipment, that counts . . .

They don't sell Sinn here. One of my "hunters" located this one in US and, with the proper strap, is a cool watch. Cheers, Nilo

but no longer. its drifted down my wish list like a lot of other new pieces. great picture using a phone camera i still cant use without the pics looking like a drunken night out. i agree with Art about the picture quality. best G

Had the same watch... never knew it looked tat great ! Thank you!

... The wrist of one of the dads at basketball this weekend. Looks great in real life and bulletproof. Sinn is one of the great value brands in horology. No wonder there are a lot of fans. Andrew

I am actually wearing this watch even though the photo was taken a while ago... A Hummer! The Accutron and Accutron-derived watches are somewhat fascinating to me currently. This one has a nice 14K YG case (34.5mm x 40mm). And the accuracy is incredible! ...  

. . . with a distinguishing polished wedge layer. Love the style of the '70s!

To join the LLD club. I know that is not a 64 but exceptions are there just to confirm the rule. Cheers, Nilo

dont tempt me Nilo, ill never wear it. ill probably join the massive timepiece club with the railmaster XXL before i become a legend. 49.2 mm on the wrist and doesnt look too big. best G

And once you try, is an addiction. Cheers Nilo

you misunderstood Nilo. the LLD is a nice size at 42 mm but i have so many other great watches that i know ill never wear it. best G

Graham, its crazy how often I put watches on my "watch list" just for having seen them somewhere here. Arghhhh. Regards, Richard.

of the Shimoda. Is the center part really that way, or is it reflection? GEO

shimoda. I call it mine LOL. It has a MOP center dial and depending on the light and angle, some purple can also be on it apart from the shades of blue.

or to be precise, that was on the market. a great watch from a great watchmaker. i really want one, but you cant have everything in life. G

No horofatigue with this one.

any of my PSMs contributed to my horofatigue. This Blue Shimoda was actually acquired during the deepest phase of the fatigue from what I can recall.

Beautiful watch I have not seen this before. Anders

is a piece unique. I'm not sure if Peter did it with any other stone but mine is MOP.

I have been seduced by your argument on the slightly smaller wristwatch.

for me I think. Originally I set myself at 37mm upwards, but I find I hace already quite a few at 35mm. However I struggle hard with it and try and walk the straight and narrow as much as possible.

But I discovered I had no issue to wear a 32 / 33 mm watch, too... I will let you play with some of them, you will see... VLAD.
