Team, The year of 2014 is closing and we have the holidays just ahead. Let's see the watch that you plan to mark this date. Mine is this one: (The background is our Xmas three that my wife assembled by herself) Love the golden colors, not on my wrist. A g...
. . . it's gotta be black Connie . . . . . . and Drambuie! My holidays got off to a great start: three pots in Wednesday's 3-ball tournament, including the rollover. Maybe Jim can provide video of one frame before the weekend is over. A new guy showed up ...
You are done! Hey, you found the strap we were talking about? The one on your SS Vintage. Bravo. That is a top combo. I am looking for one, Best, mon ami. Nicolas
early Holiday gift-- an IWC we all know and love. The basset hound in the background is not impressed. Hope everyone has a great Holiday Season and remembers the true spirit of these times--It is better to give than receive. But it's not so bad to receive...
that way I can look on the dial and see when each of you is celebrating! For example, it is now 6am in Paris and I expect Nicolas will respond in seconds, while I am having some Royal Tokai that languished in my cellar from 1998 til we discovered it last ...
It's a shame that Minerva watches here are among the rarest ones. It's more easy to locate an honest politician here than a Minerva. Enjoy yours. Cheers, Nilo
neither very difficult to find nor very expensive...various options as well...but really nice and clean ones are more scarce. This one was on my side list for a while until I was lucky to find this one, enamel dial, nice condition, great patina original h...
Is to die for. It happens that I friend of mine owns one in an almost pristine conditions. I'm sorry that he is the kind of black hole collector (what goes in never goes out). Another sad point is that Longines (if I'm awake) did a re edition but they add...
Problably at some point will put some glamour on. GP Vintage Ellipse 9628 with yellow glod case and gold dial on a blue shiny croc strap. HAGWE, CC ...
not perfect, it's for a cleaning with my watchmaker now. The case back has a few issues, but not visible on the wrist and the crown is not original. But I already organised an original crown and my watchmaker will put that on. I should have it back before...
Ref 9628 was introduced in the early 70ties, but was building on earlier ellipse GPs. I have another ellipse, quite a bit smaller, which should belong to the late 50ties. CC ...
Beautiful, timeless. Be sure to read the watch manual before setting the dates and moon phase. This movement changes the dates and moon phase almost all the time, leaving (if I remember) something between 6-7 AM where those mechanism are not engaged. I mi...
Hi Thanks for the reminder. I think one of the reasons that when it gets wrist time then its worn a lot as the setting feels a bit involved. I know its not that involved, but its not just strap it and change the dates. I agree - full calendar is great and...
One Q be allowed: Which Ref is that ? ( 5402 - probably not ? 15202 ?) Indeed, an alltime classic ! All the Best for the upcoming Festive Season ! Best, hs
my trusty Orion for my first Christmas with it. Having chocolates with the lady. It seems to suit the theme. Forgive me for the poor picture quality, I have not had access to a decent camera for over two months. HAGWE Erik ...
but it really checks all the boxes for me. I love a simple watch. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to have had the Simplicity on my wrist. HAGWE Erik
I've been getting a sort of hipster vibe about them, yet they really do have a nice selection. It's unfortunate I don't see many fellow PuristS sporting them. Though I've only been around here for a short time.
.. of my timepieces, which already arrived some 7 weeks ago, But was awaited quite a bit .. - My early Xmas present this year : So I decided to just chip in this little Collage of the (TT) Geophysic 1958 a watch, that already has grown in me, these few we...
Hs, This Geophysic is, with the Omega SM 300 Master, a serious candidate for the Watch of the Year. Simple and classic. A forever watch. Cheers, Nilo Note: Nice collage.
... of December each year. My wife and I duly cumplimented the tradition that day, though this year with much less adornation and trimming than other years, as our backs do not resist a long afternoon of work as in the good old days of youth and no one of...
... horological point of view! Lol! Thank you for your kind PM. I duly answered right now. You can count with me my friend! Thank you! HAGWE! And best cordial regards, Abel.
... but it also says you have to leave presents under it on the night of the 24th! You know... I love to keep traditions alive!! I wish Santa will leave you a nice present too! (may be the Tudor BB this time?) All the best for you my dear friend! Abel.
...on the wrist, yet it is cold outside. This one - at least when it shall not slip easily under the tux shirt sleeve: Thus, still lots of work to be done before 2015, so I hope there is still another short two weeks in office before the holidays. - Anyw...
And very nice watch, I still remember when I was attracted by this one when it was launched. For me, it is not a picture taken today but the Nautilus will be on my wrist until the end of this year. Cheers, Mark ...
Even if I like the independant's spirit and especially the team of De Bethune and their work, I think my 5712 is my favorite of the ones I have. Have a nice week end ;) Cheers, Mark
Since I had my coronary "incident", I'm only getting those 70+% chocolate bars (that tastes like a construction brick). I miss the real candy. In any case my cholesterol levels are so low that I can, from time to time, enjoy a candy. Cheers, Nilo
... well, for Chistmas and for the rest of the year too! I also love chocolates... and Pams! That chocolate dial is to die for! Enjoy both Joe! All year around! All the best, Abel.
early........or the watch was available and the wine served! But,i'm still enjoying this buy and it will grace christmas day! Have a good festive season!! henry ...
Henry, Congratulations. Your GS is a crystal clear confirmation that Seiko produces one of the most desirables watches bar few. Beautiful, ultra high quality. Cheers, Nilo
