Lovely shots! :) HAGWE Blomman

. . . so flowers are blooming everywhere, even on Wrist Scan!

. . . I was happy to oblige!

. . . in the background with Black Connie is a rock and roll rose, and the image was taken in my uncle's garden. Here's a better picture of the flower . . . . . . and my niece, May 2012. ...

Railmaster XXL and pretty flowers, name unknown. will try to capture something in my sisters garden this weekend. HAGWE G ...  

Who cares about the flowers name...?! ;) Looking great, G! HAGWE Blomman

certainly the biggest watch i've ever owned, but it doesnt wear as big as it should. the Longines 24 hour heritage i now long for is slightly smaller at 47mm, but wears bigger due to the large crown stem. best G

Some small watches wear big and some big watches wear small...! :) Makes things more interesting... Best Blomman

its an illusion caused by bezel width and watch depth.

i've been told that quite a few times over the years Vlad, but never by a man :) G

thanks Hs. its big without looking it. i must wear it more often. best G

. . . to persuade myself into buying one, Graham. As a watch, it's everything a guy could want. I like everything about the XXL except for one trifle: it's way too large for my wrist. Now that Omega has come up with a three-handed co-axial movement with c... 

lets hope something nice and reasonably priced is in the offing. i have my eyes on a 1964 Grand Seiko at the moment. very nice except for incorrect crown so if the price is right..... G

. . . Omega's 38.5 mm case is just right.

Unless you prefer the Anti Vlad Shot: HAGWE, All! Nicolas ...  

. . . with garlic! Peppers, too. :-) Actually, those are both wonderful images, but there's something about Nico's frijoles that calls to me. He's made the same shot (different watch, though) with coffee beans and tea leaves before; the varied patterns on... 

This is delicious! Best, Artie. Nicolas

. . . but never tried it on. Now, chili beans and beer - yeah, I have that all the time! :-)

One of the things I miss most in China is what the Mediterranean diet in Spanish calls "platos de cuchara" (dishes which require spoons): beans, lentils and chickpeas are all non-existent here. They are good for health and delicious, but nowhere to be fou... 

.. I am a convinced Pro-Vlad afficionado ! This UN is with an easy-going sportyness, and friendly face, IMHO.. Best, also for the weekend, my friend ! hs

U eat a lot of garlic?

Happy Friday folks Best, Horo ...  

was a amatuerish shot. picked up the frangipanis from my garden and was gonna place them in a bowl of water...decided to take a picture with ym watch first. did it before i even kbnew the theme for the week...such coincidence!! best, Horo

These KV are hugely desirable.... Cheers, Mark

thanks matey. i actually took the opicture before I kew the theme for the week!! best, Horo

The dial is the absolute nicest I have seen on a KV. And the Frangipanis take me back to my old garden in Singapore. My favourite trees, and I miss the fragrance. Great photo. Dean

Thanks matey. Didn't know you were once based in Singapore!! When did you leave? Best Horo

Lived in Singapore from 98 to 00, and from 02 to 08. Thinking of moving back again and work for SGX or other. Thanks for the great pic. Dean

.. simply is to love I am always amazed, how delicate his finish of dials and movements is ! Anyway, I really enjoyed your pic ! Best, hs

High praises!! Thanks very much :) Best, Horo

and I had on one of my favourite watches... Cheers Andrew ...  

Great photo, Andrew! :) HAGWE Blomman

nevertheless grandissimo! Sincerely Damjan

but for sure the socks were orange! Cheers Andrew

The contrast of the denim strap with the watch looks great.

It is a fairly recent addition to the watch and it gives it a totally different look to the standard croc. I actually wear it more now just because of the strap change, strange how something so small can put a watch back into regular rotation. Cheers Andr...

The flowers are known as Stephanotis floribunda, the Hawaiian wedding flower vine. If you live in a warm tropical climate I highly recommend growing it as the flowers are very fragrant and waxy!
