WS for the 25th of May is now live - free theme!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2018-09:05
Let’s call it a slightly late Midnight Singapore time but then even if the chronometer is METAS certified, if the meeting overruns... Free theme as announced earlier. Looking forward to many exciting pictures and wishing you all a fantastic weekend ahead!...
For me.....

Thanks a lot Nico!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2018-11:24
Will definitely do so. So far just like I imagined it
Great one.

Eventually, a feature film will be made . . .
By: Dr No : May 24th, 2018-10:49
. . . about this legendary Purist. And Hugh Jackman will star. Yours truly has a minor role in the script. They're casting Jon Lovitz, . . . . . . naturally. ...
Hope he’s OK!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2018-11:27
Not heard from him in a while...
Thanks CC!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2018-11:26
And what a great Green Lantern shot
Another D watch.
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-05:34
He better check his collection!
Hmm.
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-05:58
There will be an investigation.
You kept your end of the bargain with Nilo . . .
By: Dr No : May 24th, 2018-10:20
. . . but now you need to add a vintage Omega to the collection. No pressure, K. Take your time. It's a broad field, and deep, too. I'll be wearing these . . . ['58 ref 2852 top, '43 ref 2242 middle, '40 ref 2099 bottom] . . . over the holiday weekend. Ar...
A great trio, Art!
By: KMII : May 24th, 2018-11:29
I am glad to have finally fulfilled my end of the bargain. There may well be more modern and vintage Omegas in due course judging by my first And yours really are enticing! Have a great weekend!
I'm almost positive the 2242 has a refinished dial, Nicolas . . .
By: Dr No : May 25th, 2018-10:58
. . . albeit one convincing enough to lure me into acquiring it. Notice how the hands line up correctly with the minute track. I'll have to check with a Geiger counter to be sure. Of the three, though, my personal favorite is the ref 2099. Those delicate ...
Thanks a lot, Massi!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-12:49
Hope you’re doing well Maybe Trieste this summer? As for the watch, looking forward to checking accuracy tomorrow
Same here...
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-22:13
Getting harder each morning Will try and plan the holidays soon and let you know 👍🏻
Superb classic!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-12:50
What year is this Reverso? Fantastic shot, btw.
Thank you. It’s 1996 my first Reverso.
By: kev09 : May 25th, 2018-15:05
Quite small by today’s standards but I wanted my first to be as near as possible to the original in size. Still love it and it’s an elegant dress watch.
Lovely.
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-05:38
Such a rich blue.
Most certainly do!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-12:52
The watches to start with - hard for me to choose a favourite - and the pictures likewise. And thanks for the idea to source tiles
Friday commute
By: jml_watches : May 25th, 2018-00:02
Hi All Wearing this for the commute this morning - seems appropriate as in preparation for the bank holiday it's pouring down. The only upside is a virtually empty train! Cheers JML ...
an old picture
By: watch-guy.com : May 25th, 2018-00:07
A great comparison between new and old.... ...
LOL! . . .
By: Dr No : May 27th, 2018-13:15
. . . good un', Cap ;-) . . .
What a picture!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-12:54
Both pieces are great and the contrast between the two is truly interesting!
Beautiful Omega my friend 👌🏻
By: Watchonthewrists : May 25th, 2018-01:49
Huge Congrats and wear it in best of health 🙏🏻 So if its a free theme i will go for my DB How i love these blue hands 👌🏻👍🏻 ...
Sunny Friday and Blue:
By: nomadgiles : May 25th, 2018-05:18
From outside the office today: The road less travelled And attending / playing at a World Music festival at the weekend, so the Zodiac WT seems apropos: HAGWE all G. ...
Thanks a lot, Giles!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:00
The dial has definitely been one of the main attractions optically. But the rest of the watch really gels, too
Thanks Nico!
By: nomadgiles : May 25th, 2018-07:20
And to be seen fleetingly in Paris next week ;-)
Thank you Zabgreg!
By: nomadgiles : May 25th, 2018-12:05
I’m enjoying it a lot - regularly turning the bezel to UK / red hand alignment and seeing what other time it is around the globe. Seems India has had its half hour for 45+ years.
A great pair, Giles!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-12:58
And it was great seeing both of them live. Looking forward to hearing more about the world music festival! Hagwe!
Thanks a lot Padj!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:02
I owed it to Nilo to get one and finally decided on this one. Certainly not a resale value decision as it is a regular production piece without historical roots but then it really appealed to me and it sits nicely on the wrist
Thanks, buddy!
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-06:29
The 45 has a lot of love here!
Thanks, Nico.
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-06:29
It's a beauty.
I’ll drink to that!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:03
And hoping for a return as well Two great GP chronographs there, Padj!
Thank you, KM.
By: TheMadDruid : May 25th, 2018-16:30
And my sentiments as well.
Fantastic Speedy Tuesday, Massi!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:06
And a great picture to boot! Have been looking at this one as well when making my choice but then again the first Omega will most certainly not be the only one
Thanks a lot HS111!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:07
Maybe not the conventional choice but I like it irrespective Have a great weekend!
Gorgeous Railmaster dear friend KM!! We are celebrating...
By: Subexplorer : May 25th, 2018-09:16
... our Independence Day on Friday 25th so it’s fitting a freedom theme for us! We are having a long week end here so I have chosen several watches to enjoy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Including a vintage Gigandet chrono similar to that shown by Stefa...
Learned something new today! Never heard of Gigandet before . . .
By: Dr No : May 25th, 2018-12:34
. . . and after a brief search, discovered a link - tenuous, admittedly - to Breitling and Wakmann. Fascinating stuff, but as you probably guessed, my heart belongs to your Seamaster. ;-) Felicitations on Argentina's Independence Day, Abel - it's Memorial...
I was in the right place at the right time for Indy car racing . . .
By: Dr No : May 26th, 2018-12:00
. . . in So Cal. Attended the first four California 500 races at Ontario Motor Speedway between '70 and '73. That first race was the last time a front-engine Offy won. Didn't know it at the time, of course, but Jim McElreath's victory over Art Pollard was...
:)) [nt]
By: Subexplorer : May 27th, 2018-06:25
Thanks for showing the Gigandet dear Abel
By: nitediver : May 25th, 2018-13:03
It is really nice and the dial has a bit more contrast than mine. The blue strap on the Omega is s fantastic match. I can’t remember having seen such a textile strap. Last but not least: congratulations on Independence Day! Best Stefan
Killer weekend choices, Abel!
By: KMII : May 25th, 2018-13:11
Looking like a truly fantastic weekend is ahead of you First of all I hope you have a great celebration of your Independence Day! And with watches like these how could you not? And thanks for the kind words - I think Omega really nailed it with this one.
Macro shots of a vintage JR Aquastar
By: nitediver : May 25th, 2018-13:27
Love the details on this aged dial, which probably used to be black when new. This is a 1958 Jean Richard Aquastar. Have a nice weekend Stefan ...
First Abel with Gigandet, and now you . . .
By: Dr No : May 26th, 2018-13:20
. . . with vintage Jean Richard, which is an even bigger surprise as I was aware of JR but thought of them as a relatively recent brand tied to G-P. This has been an instructive session of Wrist Scan! Art
Go bling or go home!
By: Arie - Mr Orange : May 26th, 2018-04:01
One of the most hideous iterations IMO. Looks like a carnival watch. But the price tag is actually quite steep! Now on a more serious note; the Rolex newbies: The waiting game has begun... ...
Yes definitely
By: Arie - Mr Orange : May 26th, 2018-06:34
That jubilee bracelet felt way to comfortable on the wrist to ignore
Wow.
By: TheMadDruid : May 26th, 2018-07:19
Sinful.
tnx! [nt]
By: Arie - Mr Orange : May 27th, 2018-11:02
Hmmhh.. So let me see how to play this week. ;))
By: hs111 : May 26th, 2018-05:19
Memovoxes are a key focus of my stable, as many here may know.. Thus this time a JLC weekend: A Static bunch of MMVs: Middle: From left: E855 black & 855 white, E 875 blue/blue, white/ blue & all white; Far Right: E 861 Top (cross lies) : LC 3072, E 872; ...
Favorite theme: free!!!
By: Watchobserver : May 26th, 2018-15:29
1. Most recent acquisition, IMO the best watch of 2017: 2. A fun watch that also arrived until this year: Two completely different pieces that show my love for independents and their efforts. Have a great weekend! ...
Thanks!!!
By: Watchobserver : May 26th, 2018-16:06
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Now those are two killer pieces!
By: KMII : May 27th, 2018-02:07
Both very different as you say but perfectly displaying the creativity of independent watchmaking! Have a great weekend!
Fully agree!
By: Watchobserver : May 27th, 2018-11:49
Thanks 🙏🏼
Excellent choice!
By: KMII : May 27th, 2018-05:51
Really looking forward to seeing your pictures
Thanks my friend .
By: Watchonthewrists : May 27th, 2018-07:09
Hope to get the mail within a few months so i can plan a pickup at the factory . Would be cool to visit it .
Late entry for charity
By: MTF : May 27th, 2018-05:38
I may be too late but as I'm waiting for the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, here are wrist and static shots of a watch in the service of charity. Regards, MTF ...
