Team, It's already Friday 00:00 AM in the glorious country/city of Singapore. Let's show our watches and the edible materials (drinks are included) that we take with: Pineapple and Mango Just pineapple Vodka is considered as food on some places of this pl...  

But more importantly, today is St Valentine Day. In my culture, on this day girls give guys chocolates. This can be to boyfriends, husbands, or just colleagues, bosses, and associates, in which case it is called Giri-choco (given as a duty and not affecti...  

Are those chocolates tasty? Cheers, Nilo

. . . for those of us fascinated by the timepieces of yesteryear. That it's English is easy to tell, but not much else, I'm afraid . . .

Nothing special I'm afraid. A JW Benson dating to the 1920's that I picked up on a whim down Portobello Road. I liked the unusual black dial with gold numerals. Dean ...  

At least here at the tropics, a pocket watch with a black dial. I believe that the black dials at that time didn't survive the hot & wet climate here. Cheers, Nilo

HAGWE! Nicolas ...  

I doubt that the crab over the Polaris is edible but ... Vlad eats anything. Cheers, Nilo

..for many here it woulf be a more than difficult choice, I, myself will choose the UN on the coffee cup as my number one for food ( coffee !), watch and shot.. ( sorry judge(s), no prejudice.. hope you don't edit out), - but all the other ones are pure j... 

No one can influence the judges. They are the cream of the crop. Cheers, Nilo Note: But I bet that the coffee under the UN is ... cold.

I have a soft spot for the Reverso Red, too... Best, my friend. Nicolas

it is a very nice watch to photograph and to have of course. GEO

I almost fainted . One of the sexiest GMT ever. We have to meet on day for a tropical delight. Amazing collection you hv sir Best Iceman

Here is a Swedish version...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman ...  

.. of food and watches.. Delicious both A good Sacher's Cake, Coffee & Milgauss GV For sure no lemon.. Gd R GMT .. Ready for plucking Two candies and a ticket.. :)) Cool shot .. On a hot day ! .. DSA - EU Cucina Italiana.. Molto buono.. Have a great W...  

The " Cucina Italiana". Tasty and healthy. Cheers, Nilo

., there are of course always 2 options: - one is sending it.. - bringing it along, has several advantages.. I am of course open to any preferences .. Thank you again Best hs :)

Is there any other places? ;) Cheers HAGWE D

It's also good. Typo, already corrected. It must be the heat wave that's broiling our brains here. Four full weeks of misery. Cheers, Nilo

Food ...good...it's all same to me :) :) Best regards from 0 degrees ...Celsius of course ;) Damjan

Hi All An Omega with the odd mint chocolate HAGWE Cheers JML ...  

One mint and, of course, the Omega. Cheers, Nilo

...  

No problem... ...  

thanks! what a way to mark 3000!

Oysters to the square. Cheers, Nilo

That is a nice milestone. We should have a rank somewhere but I bet that you entered on a very selected club. Cheers, Nilo

Both the oyster and your DJ. Enjoy the weekend, Alex

...  

Wine? Cheers, Nilo

I had this bottle at the Napa Rose in the Grand Californian at Disneyland, CA

Believe it or not, we don't drink any Californian wines. For reasons that only our insane government and explain, Californian (or any US made wine) receives more tax than any others. Cheers, Nilo

the bottle and watch are FOND memories...

What i found from the last twelve months ... I can conclude that my LLD saw A LOT of wrist time .... ... and i had a lot of "drinking" time :-) .... HAGWE Filip ...  

Now, what is a "Pastete"? Cheers, Nilo

...  

On the two senses. Congratulations, Nilo

... a match made in heaven, Nilo. Andrew

We just finished a pizza with those exact ingredients plus a little slices of Parmesan. Did I already mentioned that we have the best pizza on this side of the universe? Wood oven, naturally. Heaven. No pictures. No time for that. Cheers, Nilo

Vintage better but a modern Daytona will do. :) HAGWE and thanks for looking. Fernando ...  

Just to balance out my unhealthy lifestyle ;) Best Fernando

Just don't bite into the Daytona! :-) Enjoy the weekend, Alex

Very well composed picture. 3 x1 works perfectly. Cheers, Nilo

Spending the day at the pool today with the Destination 03. No dinner time yet! Have a great weekend Gents! GEO ...  

I will. Great place here The Plantation in Phnom-Penh. GEO

I need to learn more about this watch. Cheers, Nilo

I mean the non DLC coated one, Destination 02. Very high tech looking watch and way different than the DLC one. GEO

I just know you love independents. GEO ...  

Or what is the sub dial for? Never seen this one before... Best Blomman

. . . and grilling tuna steaks this afternoon . . . . . . all the while with the go-to G O on my wrist. Off shortly to the local pool hall for a few hours of practice. My game is pretty good these days, but so is . . . . . . the competition. That's Jim si...  

. . . to wear every day forever, this would be the one. The experience of winding the movement is reason enough - it's both exceptionally smooth and tactile. Easy to find one quality or the other, but both? Not often . . .

. . . but these days, I've succumbed to the allure of elegant manual winding watches. The pleasure of winding a watch is . . . special.

Hand wound movements add something very " intimate " between you and your Watch... Hmmmm. Best, Nicolas

Looks tasty Art. Cheers, Nilo

. . . my four basic food groups, along with chocolate, cheese, and guacamole ;-) . . .

Very spicy, but as a starter to go with vodka or beer (those days crossing the 100F). Later (stop reading if you are a vegetarian) followed by a nice and juicy steak, direct from our Argentinean grill (coal, of course). Cheers, Nilo

. . . is a Dr No specialty! And while I usually prefer Mexican beer with my guac (partial to Corona now that Chihuahua is no longer available) . . . . . . blanco tequila works wonders, too! ...  

Where are the red chillies? Cheers, Nilo

. . . includes, among other vittles, Roma tomato and jalapeño peppers. Have you ever tried preparing chips from Japanese daikon radishes? Guac scooped by radish chips is the bomb!

In special that I'm trying to reduce my weight by cutting carbs. Not that I need but my wife like me when I look like a starving one. Cheers, Nilo

. . . grilling, quaffing freshly brewed ale in the afternoons - yes, life is good! I've even found an interesting vintage Seamaster in the last few days; pop by the Omega forum tomorrow for details. Warm regards, Art

Watch on chocolate - yummy JLC and basil, tasty Daytona on green fruit or whatever - excellent But how about a superb obscure watch with an obscure superb wine? Cazalea ...  

Is very rare here (never saw one in metal) but is very nice. Cheers, Nilo

...and if the '82 is anything to go by,the Salon will be simply elegant! best henry

Aperitif Starters Main course Dessert Best, Laurent ...  

Is gorgeous. I'm hooked on contrasted sub dials. Cheers, Nilo

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

Nice souvenir... ...  

But this one ... sings to me. Congratulations, Nilo

Better luck next time, my friend! Best Blomman

Best Patrice ...  

HAGWE Cheers Francois from Down Under ...  

What a wonderful chronograph. I need, badly, to learn more about VC. The only VC pieces that I already saw "in metal" are what I categorize as dressy pieces but yours is gorgeous. Cheers, Nilo

it would need much, much more lemon to give it even the slightest of a sour taste:) Cheers Francois from Down Under

What a great photo of a gorgeous chronograph! Honestly, there is not a version of the Historiques Chronograph that I do not love. I could collect them all. Greedy respo

pictures and your review which made my heart beat so fast that I thought I'd better acquire one before I kick the bucket due to a heart attack:) Cheers Francois from Down Under

...  

The chocolate bars are outstanding. Back to the watch, it's one of the best Daytona incarnations (I'm not a particular fan of the ultra bling modern ones). Cheers, Nilo

How is the taste? Cheers, Nilo

.....berry fruit, some smokiness....great texture

....but thankfully, i have several

...watches and food...food and watches. I cannot get enough of either. HAGWE all! respo ...  

What food is on the second pic? Crab? Cheers, Nilo

...that was taken at a meal in Berlin 2-3 years ago. I do remember it was yummy! The VC chocolats are a lovely holiday treat, that is for sure. Best, respo

They go hand in hand! :) Best, my friend Blomman

Matt ...  

Wonderful color on the background. Matt, you are the one. Cheers, Nilo

....does that count ? ...  

The PuristSPro food of choice. Beautiful watch and strap. I love to see a Daytona on a strap. Ultra cool. Cheers, Nilo

Very strong visuals with this watch from the 70\'s. At the time they must have been considered huge. Today they fit right in. Bill ...  

Bill, Amazes me this hobby where we can find, from time to time, some watches that, despite the low cost or fame, touches us like this Sicura did with you. Cheers, Nilo

I need to post a few more. The DNA is there across the range. HAGWE Bill PS the Doxa Collection will need to exposed also. Think "Doxa 300 Black Lung"

A common mistake, at least here, is to believe that Sicura was a Japanese brand (I could bet on that, just few months ago). Then I learn more about Sicura and how Ernst Schneider acquired Breitling, run the two companies and then decided to drop Sicura. S... 

When the quartz movement took over the industry in the 1970 Breitling was on the verge of bankruptcy and not ready to drop their beliefs in watch instruments the Italian industrialist acquired Breitling. Both companies remained separate entities and there... 

I love these watches off the beaten paths... Best, Nicolas

please tell us more, my friend! :) Best Blomman

The collection needs pictures to do it justice. Bill

...  

A spooky food. Lettuce and fig on a battle!! Are you, my friend on a diet? Cheers, Nilo

Strange food but, I had a huge steak after that.... Diet? I have to... but not now!!

Starter Main course Desert Happy V-day everybody! Best Blomman ...  

I wonder why - it is such a great watch! :) Best Blomman

Is my iPad defective or I'm seeing a chronograph? You use to say "I'm not a chronograph person".... What changed? Cheers, Nilo

It is not Blomman's one. Blomman, please, confirm it is not yours!!! ;) Best, guys. Nicolas

Na, that is NOT my watch! Even if I do dress well in light-blue and diamonds...! ;) That is the second generation JLC Ladies Compressor Chronograph. I think I might have been a bad influence... She alredy made a move into JLC, Omega and Rolex But, worst o... 

black coffe! Cheers ...  

Love the PAM and love the espresso. What is on the left side? Ice cream? Cheers, Nilo

Tomorrow you must take another shot with your "special" Sunday breakfast. I will help you. Cheers, Nilo

Amanico, Nilo and Blooman! :) Nilo, its ice cream! Let's keep the photo of my "special"sunday breakfast for another ocasion... Cheers

...  

And the Omega adds a nice touch. Cheers, Nilo

Have a great weekend all, Cheers, Tim ...  

Tastes great. Major regrets. I passed one for sheer ignorance about the brand. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo

They do occasionally pop up for sale, highly recommend this watch! It's been a great travelling watch, being sort of bullet proof. Cheers, Tim

I only had one UN, a Dual Time. I let it go on a trade, but yours has some undefined cool factor that I love. Cheers, Nilo

Two dogs, chips and a coke. HAGWE! ...  

Just add some spicy mustard (Australian...The best) and call the day. Believe me, I never saw a Nomos in metal. Cheers, Nilo

great to start off the meal with must eat all your vegetable then you can eat chocolate Mmm sticky wine goes well with chocolate I think the dial is redone! ...  

Cacao. Humm. Cheers, Nilo

Look it up. Available in UK - worth a taste

With a green chile and brisket burrito :-) Cheers to all from sunny New Mexico. Alex ...  

A GMT in New Mexico. It must be mouth watering. Cheers, Nilo

You would always have to be careful NOT to get watches too close to the foods/ drinks :-) HAGWE! Ken ...  

What a glorious trio. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you, Nilo! Ken

Am glad the Chinese have quite taken to spam , which allows easy access ... ;) Not quite Zenith though , despite the easy access with boutiques galore ! Thanks HS , Merry Weekend !

my kind of food but healthy first of all :) Yours D ...  

This is a non smoking place. Violators will be prosecuted on the fully extend of the law. I love to annoy smokers after I quit smoking. Joking, yes you can. Cheers, Nilo

You and I MUST go to one of these restaurants together one day, there or here :-) And nice one, G! Ken

Seems to be delicious. The Bulgari is gorgeous. The onion rings ... Oh my cholesterol!!!! Cheers, Nilo

Thanks for sharing, Ed! Cheers, Alex

Thanks Alex, hope you can stop by LA someday. Got some great eats to take you to. Hope all is well. ps - I'll trade you one pastrami sandwich for one of those delicious looking chile and brisket burritos! Regards, ED-209

Thanks, Ed! Hopefully soon I can plan a visit to LA and I will take you up on those tasty treats you know of. Until then, all the best, Alex

I take my morning cappuccino dry, without frills. ...
