Dear fellow Purists, as it is already Friday again, I take pride in opening the wristshot thread. Being on night shift today, I´m wearing a very legible (due to its luminescence) watch at work and a much more beautiful one later at home. Hope you have a p...
The plan to wear a new acquisition until it rusted onto the wrist was interrupted briefly in order to respond to a post initiated by Art earlier in the week (Art’s post may be read here: Art's thread ). The Archer having been pulled from the watchbox, it ...
" It is great to be wearing something created by one of our own "... And even greater when the watch is so well made! Congrats to Al, and to you, pplater for wearing such a great watch, today. Best, Nicolas
and thanks! Have a good holiday and pls. take some rest. You have been working too hard I think - mistaking a GO for a JLC?( see your post below) LOL. Cheers Fernando
which strap do you have with this bad boy..?? I'm thinking about one of these for my birthday this year as one option as it's a big milestone..!! :o) Andy.
. . . the black (and blue) aperture backgrounds along with the polished hands make this the stealthiest perpetual from Glashütte yet. The white print on the dial blends seamlessly with the calendar displays, which makes for a most coherent presentation . ...
if it is an annual calendar it has all the features of the MIH, but in a very different look. a very nice watch. Ball arent a company that get a lot of press, perhaps they deserve more. best Graham
I was going to complain the friday -thread started to early .... . Well, you know what i will be wearing today and tomorrow .... Shall i bring the water too ??? See you soon Nicolas ......
...... and you know what ??? This is the last pic i took before i dropped my camera on the rocks ... LOL ... Please keep it on your disk; if my MAC ever crashes i can drive to Spain to get it back .. Filip
Don't know if it is THE Monster, but an important watch, YES! At least, for me.. A Review is in the Tube... Best, my friend, and thanks for your nice words. Nicolas PS: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!
a Review in the Tube... uhmm... it´ll be really a pleasure for the FF´s lovers in particular and for the watches´s lovers in general. And knowing how you made your reviews, this next review will be impressive. Waiting for this. And thanks f...
Thanks Nicolas, yours is/was also fantastic. I would love to see those orangy hands from your watch on mine ;-) . Think they would be a perfect match for the orangy patina on the dial. Unfortunately the hands on mine are very corroded, but the tritium is ...
Magnificient historic GMT Ryan ! By the way Nicolas, Why did you get rid of such a piece? I must say I don't get it... especially right now ;-) . François...
Too long to explain it here, but it was a very sad day when I let go this one... Now, I'm considering buying a 1675 with a superb patina. But will I go on a gilt dial??? Best, Nicolas
hey Ryan great looking watch. where and how did you find this Critter??!! it's too hard to read what's scripted underneath the Eagle ..what does it say ?? i'm guessing it's either made for Egyptians or for the Emirats. Tony
for your nice words. No much watches I´ve seen more beautifuls and with more soul that these FF. I´m a lucky man for were able to admire them in the flesh. And this Bund is simply stunning, IMO... it fits perfect with all the straps that I have....
I´m happy seeing that you like the strap and the combo. this military green nato strap feets really well with the watch. Military connection rule!. Best hermano La bomba emilio
. . . the classic Omega Seamasters - especially the 300 - I've come around to an appreciation for the classic Fifty Fathoms from all the photos and posts on our forums. The wide bezel to dial proportions, bubble crystal, and oversize crown in conjunction ...
these FF, and other watches like the Seamaster 300 (I love this watch), are simply stunning watches. I think that your words explains it really well, "the FF are watches that trancend its generation". For me, the same happen with the SM 300, the Memovoxes...
the raised logo is an eye catcher. The first time I saw this "raised logo" FF I felt a bit abduced. The same happened with its brothers with have the moisture indicator. These dials are perfects and well balanced. In this case, the touch of colour, make i...
although it was the date version. great watch. allegedly a polish military issue with MWxxxx on the back, but from what i've learnt since i let it go that provenance could have been doubtful. if it was 'militarised' its a shame as it is a perfectly nice h...
Certanlly this model is a great watch. I prefer the no-date version, but the date version is awesome too. The military connection is no a problem. In my case, I like thinking that this watch was really a true toolwatch, had a "hard" life, make the job for...
Emilio, if you like the sm300 you'll like what i have just obtained. i have, as you probably know, a second model 552 calibre from its entry year of 1964. like Nico's but different dial. last night i managed to win a 1st model 550 calibre which was US onl...
Nicolas, i am not mad and i can prove it. when i was a copper i had a certificate issued by the doctor every year stating i was sane enough to interact with the public :) i also had a T shirt under my leathers which said 'warning, does not play well with ...
thankyou Emilio, it is pure luck i can assure you. hours spent browsing 'that auction site' and then research before and after are the only things i do, the 64's just seem to jump out at me :) are you attending London in June and if so will you be coming ...
The crazy spinning one is not a bad piece either... BTW, congratulations on your classy Cabaret. Best Sam This message has been edited by samwan on 2009-05-01 02:57:42
Hello all, I have only lurked here before but decided I would join in and post a bit! As you can see it is still Friday noon in Germany, a holiday and the outdoor pools open, which is where I am headed now. I wish you all very good (long) weekend, best, A...
Couldn't resist this when I saw Anthony's post about it yesterday.... Hard as heck to get a good photo of them together though at least in uncontrolled lighting conditions like I've got here at the local coffee shop, but you get the idea. HAGWE! Cheers, D...
This is a 2006 Lange and Sohne Grande Lange 1 that I purchased new in 2006 from an AD in Italy. I had first seen this watch on a trip to Berlin the prior year. I was walking past an AD there when I saw it in the window and fell in love with it. In fact, o...
I'm very happy to join today this extraordinary forum. To fully enjoy our May First (holiday in Belgium), my wife and I paid a visit to the Keukenhof, a beautiful and very famous flower garden near Amsterdam. The weather was perfect and we spent an excell...
I'm deeply impressed by the PuristSpro forums where I've seen so many exciting and rare timepieces. It's a pleasure to join and being welcomed by you all, thank you. I've decided that the first pictures of my new watch (delivery in June) will be posted he...
but as I also hate waiting, I give you one little hint ! The watch doesn't come from a small independent watchmaker, but it's still an independent brand as it doesn't belong to a group... Have a nice day, Emmanuel
