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!...
. . . about this legendary Purist. And Hugh Jackman will star. Yours truly has a minor role in the script. They're casting Jon Lovitz, . . . . . . naturally. ...
. . . 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...
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!
. . . 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 ...
. . . I briefly entertained the idea of parting with this Connie. "Who needs two '58 cal 505s?", thought I. It took only two seconds after retrieving it from the safe deposit box to realize White Connie was here to stay. ;-)
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.
I've been experimenting with using some backdrops for pictures, and I tried with a few: A Seiko Worldtimer from 1964 A jumbo Doxa that arrived this week, which I bought for the delightful 'Creme Brulee' like patina And this one came back from servicing at...
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 ...
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. ...
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.
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
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
... 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...
. . . 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...
. . . 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...
... Had connections with Breitling and Walkman and even with Swiss Army brand, The present Gigandet watches have movements from Seiko and Miyota and of course they have nothing in connection with the original brand. Yes, I imagine the Seamaster would be y...
... And as a matter of fact I was expecting you, Blomman or other experts here could throw some light on it. I promise a new post showing this watch this week end ! Abrazos mi amigo! Buen fin de semana! Abel
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
... Straps of the Omega are made by Morelatto of Italy which is the only quality brand which we can find here in my land. It' s some kind of nylon canvas with leather lining. Very nice, sporty and comfortable. Thank you for your congrats on our National D...
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.
... Worn it with the original Oyster which I changed for these straps same day I bought this watch. I guess some day I will have to try the Oyster! Lol! Hagwe! Abel
When I acquired the watch , l learned the following (text from Mathis time) When Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh descended in the submarine Trieste to the 10.000 meter/35.000 ft depth at the Mariana Trench in 1960 they had a Rolex strapped to the outside of...
. . . 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
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... ...
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; ...
..how this came into existence . Many thanks also for the always so positive encouragements, in addition to guard the Framboise !.. LoLoL !! Best, dear Nico to you & your lovely family ! hs.
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! ...
The FPJ is such a amazing watch . I would love to own one in the near future 🙏🏻. And the Joker is a very cool watch , cant wait to get mine later this year . Thanks for sharing 🤗
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 ...
