So, what am I most grateful for? Good health, of course, but family . . .

So many things to be thankful for....
......family, friends, life and the opportunity to live it well...... I am not sure what the watch represents in that sense other than that joie de vivre....pure unadulterated pleasure. ...
I'm thankful . . .
. . . of the viewing pleasure that particular watch brings! While I'm one of those guys with narrowly defined interests, modern Patek masterpieces like your 5070P and vintage 9"'-90s never fail to set my heart racing. Wow.
What a great shot, my friend! :)
Three Milestones in life for sure! :) Happy Thanksgiving! Best Blomman
What to say..
I'm blessed man Yours D P.S. Made one shot with Zenith in middle also :) maybe I should have posted this one it is surely more a propos -,)
This one is great!
But You should post the Zenith in the Zenith forum! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Getting ready now for the holiday family feast . . .

... Happy Thanksgiving Day!! Very cordially, Abel.
Looks like you had a great dinner! :)
And the right watches for it as well! :) Best Blomman
Thank you both for your appreciation
Coming from you both... A DSA group shot would be a nice prospect for 2015. Blomman, yes this year. Best
However ugly it may seem a phase of our lives...
...there is always a reason to be thankful! The children grow up healthy and strong, health is ok, a wonderful family, everyday a smile is not lacking... What to ask more if not that everyone will be entitled to a little happiness?! Best, my friends massi...
Thank you very much Blomman...
There are very few other things to be desired, so few that you can count them on the hand of an old carpenter! (as they say in my place...) Best, dear friend massi
Re: count them on the hand of an old carpenter!
That is a great say! And very true! Best, dear friend Blomman
A little olive oil . . .
. . . with fresh garlic shoots and some sea salt would be perfect! :-)
Superb GO Perpetual
And yes, the things we can be thankful for are many, but what you've named will be at the very top of the list
It´s a shame we don´t dedicate an special day of the year...
... to Thanksgiving like our friends in the USA! I´d love to have a similar celebration in my Country! Every one should stop one day and think about the many things we are blessed with. Things as you well say dear Blomman, we take for granted, but which s...
Lol!! Not my intention to torture a good friend Nicolas! ... But...
... Think how many times I had to run for my own pills when viewing your posts! Lol! I m enjoying so much this watch and the memories it brings to me! Un abrazo mi amigo! Abel
Well.. Self-medication is a tricky thing.. As Dr Mamadu has so many patients ;))
Also guess, I meanwhile might be totally pill- dependent.. -- Expecting several tests in the upcoming month! I am sure ! Best again, This message has been edited by hs111 on 2014-11-28 04:13:10

... I get a little time to make some shooting! May be this week end! Un abrazo Nicolas! Abel
Thankful to my friends, here and there, to put me in contact with such tic tacs.
And for all the passion and the friendship shared. Watches are more than watches. This one is a great illustration of friendship. Its owner didn't want to sell it, but when he saw my eyes drooling over this one, he knew that I would love it! And cherish ...
Last weekend I was, again reminded of the power of the big crown!
Yours are stunning my friend! Best Blomman
Well, that is an amazing piece, gilt & with awesome patina ! :)
Other than that, it remains for me only, to congratulate you ! Apologies for my ignorance - but which Reference & year is this marvel ? ( Apparently a Sub .. 5508 ?- probably not / Big Crown ?) Thx in advance, my friend ! hs
I am very Thankful to my lovely family, relatives and friends...
for this blissful and blessed life I have. I am very grateful to be able to live life happily and enjoy this very moment, every moment. I am very happy to be part of this forum to share and enjoy our same passion with watches, like one BIG family. Present...

Your thoughtful message is appreciated :-) Very cool watch you have there; I like it! Another theme could be "Your watch from 1620"...Vlad would like excel here! I'll go with my Speedy MP this week... HAGWE! -- Richard. ...
Happy Thanksgiving, Richard!
I recently saw some of the new Speedmaster. Very impressed! This Moon Phase is lovey! :) Best Blomman
That's the most lovely Speedy ...
Ever, bar none. I love this watch. Perfectly balanced with those four sundials. I'm glad to own one. Cheers, Nilo
Thanks Nilo...
Mine says Hi :-) The only way to be more perfect would be a hacking movement. Best, -- Richard.

Congrats! :) Please come over to the GP forum and present your new catch, my friend! Best Blomman
Very apropriate for this Friday! :)
Another stunning piece, my friend! :) Best Blomman
2014 and Thanksgiving
Hi all, we don't really have a Thanksgiving tradition over here, but if I look back at 2014, then I can say this year has been a vintage GP year. While I was able to find a couple of modern GPs I had on my hunt list, I really ventured this year into the v...
Wow! That a superb massive catch, my friend. No wonder why...
I don't find anything, since you and Blomman are " drying " the market! :) All the best, Nicolas
It is a great pleasure to follow your ....
Jorney into vintage GP, my friend! :) Thank you for your kind words, CC! Best Blomman
Friday... At the hospital...
After a leg surgery. Very successful, so I say thanks to the surgeons and the team of this five star hospital. Should be back home tomorrow. Five days with my Doppel. A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
Ooopss! bad news the surgery, good news you are ok and ...
... going back home soon! I wish you a fast recovery my friend! Have a nice Thanksgiving Day and week end Nilo! All the best, Abel.
No worries ...
I had a congenital arterial disease, on the two legs. Done with the left, should do another surgery next year. Modern medicine sometimes works. Cheers, Nilo
Yes Nilo, Thanks to modern medicine which can fix this matters!...
... another thing to Thank for!! Have a nice week end Nilo! Kind regards, Abel.
Nilo, you're the only guy to post on Wrist Scan from his hospital bed . . .
. . . and twice at that! That's why our nickname for you . . . . . . is Hombre . Get well soon, my friend.
Thanks Art ...
But what I can do from the hospital room? Every two hours a nurse arrives, do something (normally painful) and departs. Cheers, (believe it or not I never saw Hombre- go to have time at home to see it), Nilo
Finally, time for a static pic ...
From the window of my hospital room ... Is terrible to be with only a single watch. My last "capture". IWC Doppel Chronograph: Sorry for the iPhone 6 pictures. Cheers, Nilo ...
Hope you will be celebrating Thanksgiving at home dear Nilo!...
... so nice to be back at home, with family... and your watches!! Have a fast recovery my friend! All the best for you! Very cordially, Abel.
Didn't made the Thanksgiving...
That we don't cellebrate (I don't think that we have anything to say "thanks" here) but I made the Sunday "asado" (Yes, our grill is Argentinian style) that will be grilled by my son and family, leaving to me the hard task of eating. Cheers, Nilo
Did you hear that ...
"No pain, no gain"? I believe that this was created to describe my recovery. With around 46 stitches on my left leg, pain is ... Painful. So far, the recovery is progressing and I hope that I will be great after Friday, after they remove the stitches and,...
Damn it!
Full speed ahead with clenched teeth, you'll see that already at home will get better... Best, massi
Well.. I 'll take a watch, that I'm grateful for finding her.. And for great friends !
Was just few weeks ago: For quite some time I had been on the search for a nice, authentic Explorer, preferably gilt, and it had already taken me almost 2 years ( seen many, missed several, could'nt convince an owner, or being not convinced, myself as wel...
Excellent, HS. I have to see this one in the flesh!
Love it, absolutely love it. Best, Nicolas
Gosh...
... I just kinda started looking for similar one (Explorer I vintage, or Explorer II, old one, or new one with cream dial, or..... 5512 or 5513)...... Anyway, beautiful piece!!! Ken
Bravo dear HS! Looks like good friends and fine watches are a great...
... combination. Both to celebrate and thank! Enjoy your friends and your beautiful addition to your collection. How nice it feels to give welcome to a new watch to our stable! As much as when we welcome our friends at our home! Have a nice week end my fr...
Thx so much for your encouraging words and kind looking !.. And you are right: nothing.. :))
.. about family & good friends ! - And also about a good laugh here & then.. My Best & HAGWE ! hs
This dial is so beautiful!
Congratulations hs, the colors are amazing... Wear it in the best of health :) Cheers, Mark
Giving Thanks
to the Horological Gods ... And the Holy Lemania ..... Life is good ! Happy Thanks giving ! ...
Sweet! :)
Yes, life is good with a watch like that on your wrist! :) Stunning! Best Blomman
I am thankful...
... 1. I had another chance to get one after I sold it back to the original owner. 2. The LE number is my birthday. 3. Replacement dial was still available (and almost perfect!). 4. I have a nice enamel dial watch. 5. And the watch is simple and beautiful...
Aaah Ken... That is one of those I regret the most. My fav Lange.
With the 1815 Moonphase Emil Lange... But I guess we have similar tastes, here.... Best, Nicolas
Unfortunately....
... I think I agree that we do have similar taste here :-) Sorry for your loss.... These are the BEST DAYS of Lange, I say. Ken
I try to find the best solution to find another enamel...
There are only two watches I am considering... This Anniversary is one of those... As for the rest, we agree. Best, Nicolas
That is a beauty! :)
Just beautiful, love the enamel dial/sub second configuration! :) Best Blomman
With that one dear Ken
I would gladly become grumpy old man :) Not only dream Lange for me but one of best timepieces ever for me All the ingredients for perfect harmony are there White enamel, blue hands, red 12, roman numerals nice movement, perfect size for dress watch, LE, ...
Thanks, my friend...
.. I am grumpy as the brand (maybe all the brands, though) is changing and no longer my strike zone..... :-( But, I am getting old, too! Hahaha. Ken
I'm very happy for you Ken
I bump into somebody I knew at in Paris last week and he was wearing this Anniversary Lange. The size, the material, the finishing, the micro rotor... A fantastic Lange for sure. Congratz :) Cheers, Mark
Black Friday...
Thankful for my 'brilliant Navitimer and trample-proof leather bomber to get me through Black Friday madness. Wrist shot: Static: Have a good one ya'll! Matt ...
Very appropriate, Matt! :)
Hope you "survive" the black Friday madness! ;) Best Blomman
A classic Breitling and a great jacket! You must
have crushed on Black Friday. What is the leather on the jacket? This would make a great cover for a Breitling forum! Nice idea? Best to all from the aftermath of Thanksgiving, 16 at the table and an entire 22 pound turkey consumed. Tim
