it's friday here in the east
hi, am wearing my favourite faithful old timekeeper--posted incorrectly in help forum as was trying out photo uploaded hagwe henry...
The ultimate dressing down ...
I love all the matching colours, Patrice. Looks like you had a wonderful and relaxing time. Andrew
Cool!
A WT on a Nato...Cool! Come back, Patrice, we miss you! I have a lot of things to tell you... Best, Nicolas
Very interesting....
and daring combination my friend..... and certainly it preserves your new alligator strap... have a safe trip home my friend.... cheers
Patrice, i love the strap and i really love the watch.
i'm not sure i'd have taken a platinum PP on holiday, but its got the correct complication for holidaying abroad. looks like you've had good weather. best Graham
You have to come home - immediately
just too many drugs Anyway, it fits good with your trunks. Enjoy the last hours. Oliver
thanks andrew
this was first serious acquisition many years ago and thus fitted my small wrist---btw is the cal 321 similar /based on valjoux 7765? regards henry
now i've got more time i can say. lovely 321 Omega Henry
i've got one myself, it has a much different character to the speedy being smaller with no dark bezel. a great watch. to go into more detail about the movement. Omega have always used Lemania to make their chronograph movements so until you get to the 90'...
a well maintained 321
hi graham appreciate your feedback on the movement. your watch seems to be in great shape---did you acquire it brand new?how did you maintain it---great dial! i bought mine in 1970 and truth to be said have subjected it to the ravages of swimming in the a...
hi Henry, rather than...
hi Henry, rather than write it all over again i've attached this link to my original post on it http://omega.watchprosite.com/?show=forumpost&ti=507391&fi=677&s=0 if you have a problem viewing the link then it dates from 27th march 2009. best Graham
great link
hi graham managed to read your post---very intersting. i have two questions----the crown on your seamaster appears to be bigger than on mine.i raise this point because many years ago when i serviced the watch,they raplaced it with a bigger crown.subsequen...
Henry, glad you enjoyed my...
Henry, glad you enjoyed my post. my watch is now back to totally original condition. i didnt take much notice of the crown as my watchmaker is ex Omega so would have left/put on the correct one. mine is a seamaster so the caseback is marked waterproof and...
thanks for suggestion
i will try to post more photos to the omega site when i 've taken more photos. hope to post soon regards
Henry, you should post more of your watch on the Omega Forum
Many enthusiastic Omega-philes there. Andrew
Unearthed an IWC ...
IWC Mark XV, Cal. 37524 (ETA 2892-A2), 28800vph, 21 jewels, PR 42h, steel, 38x10.5mm, circa 2000...
More holiday pics ...
Seeing as others seem to be in holiday mode, more pics from the Gold Coast: IWC Tourbillon ... Shooting the rapids ... Swimming with the dolphins ... Away with the birdies ......
Great pics, great memories!
Hi Andrew, thanks for your lovely photos from the fun park! My family and I have been to the same one in 2007 while visiting our friends from Toowoomba in "down under". We also did the rafting bit and I still remember queueing ever so long for the rollerc...
The tourbillon ...
The tourbillon looked quite innocuous till I made the mistake of getting on it. The automatic IWC was fully wound by the end I think! You need to avoid local school holiday periods as it can get quite busy. They also have a new system called "Q4U" whereby...
The "Tourbillon"...
Hi Andrew, I had not regarded this device your way: as a sort of big winder for watch enthusiasts and their automatic watches ! Actually we have been there mid-week, out of the holiday season and yet is was crowded. But the "Q4U" sounds like a good idea b...
Dreamworld
After the Wipeout and the Tourbillon, this watch enthusiast and his automatic timepiece were somewhat overwound and needed a rest. Getting too old I fear. Having grown up here our kids get plenty of opportunity to feed the roos, so this wasn't such a nove...
looks like a good family holiday my friend
dont you find it interesting that most holidays with young kids also involve water in some form. i look back on 2 marriages and 21 years of bringing up children and i think all holidays were near the seaside and water parks. ah memories... best Graham
Wet and Wild ...
A theme park called "Wet and Wild" was the highlight for our kids, and I. Given other recent threads, I think you might enjoy it too! ;-) A
Nautilus 5711/1A
Wearing this one today, as I did on tuesday when I took these pictures, and as I have been for about 50% of the last four months. Got a chance to check its accuracy againt a handy standard. Performing well... Richard....
Wow, Richard
I love this clean Nautilus. There have been some of Chronograph etc versions lately, but I think the Nautilus should be as clean as yours. Everything added to the dial somehow disturbs the wonderful lines. Best, Martin
Thanks Martin...
Very light and easy to wear as well. Hope your arm gets better soon. Richard.
On hindsight..
this is my favorite Nautilus - clean & so comfortable to wear. Regret selling it. Thanks for posting fernando
Beuatiful clean Nautilus...
...Gerald Genta did a great job in those days One of my favorite PP Cheers Hans
i do like the Nautilus Richard, clean crisp minimal and functional
also very expensive, (but we wont go into that) best Graham
Makes my heart melt fernando
HAGWE! -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2010-04-16 10:55:39
what a pretty piece
and the retrograde seconds are so fun to watch. Thanks for showing, ahave a good weekend Andreas
The old feathered monkey...
Have I not seen him before? Not the first time he is holding on to your watches I think. He is very beautiful! (the IWC is also quite cool - hope you win the battle ) Nikolaj
Ah, so this is what Graham means . . .
. . . when he says he's 'chuffed as a monkey'. English . . . strange language, eh?
Very very harmonious today ...
.... something I wanted on my wrist for a loooong time! Happy weekend all, Andreas...
. . . not to mention . . .
. . . very handsome as well! Congratulations, Andreas . . . cordially, Art
Superb pic.Turning up a notch..
in your photographic skills Nicolas. Nice props to compliment the iconic Dato.
You're too kind, Fernando
Photography is a matter of mood. When you're in a good mood, pics come easily nice. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Just wonder what work you go to do
Nicolas, Based on this watch, what you go to do today? Buy a bank? A small country? Wonderful, Nilo
Defending a guy at the Court
Taking a cheque, and burninig it with the lighter... I love simple plans. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Beautiful composition Nicolas.
You must be heading to court. Intimidate the opponent with your awesome "accessories." Best, respo
The " accessories " make it all, Respo
I'm a bit superstitious, and this combo never deceived me... Once again, I was right! Best, Nicolas
Now that's one I can relate to, Nicolas!
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend, Nicolas. Best, CaliforniaJed
Now this is art! Brilliant, Nico . . .
. . . it shall be the honorary Impulse Masthead photo until Sunday . . . admiringly, Art
you are full
Nicolas, You are truly full of wonderful surprises - fantastic composition (both for the actual pieces as well as the photograph). --Sancerre
The verdict is in...
We have a winner! Your combination for today would make James Bond envious. Have a great day, Nico! Abrazo, Alex
Just came back from the Court
It is 1 AM, and I'm exhausted, but ..Happy! Very best, my friend. Nicolas
I assume....
that you won the case my friend.... and....... also..... you managed to avoid jail.... lol HAGWE.... cheers
Big working day???
Nicolas we all know you don't work...How else can you have accumulated 26 454 post? ;-) LOLOLOL BTW: Nice Dato! HAGWE my friend, -- Richard.
great pic Nicolas. i know what the pen is for. its so your clients can sign their cheques
i hope today was successful and the french taxman has been saved the cost of paying for someones incarceration. your success must save the taxpayer millions best Graham
They indeed should gift me a watch!
Excellent idea, my friend... Will send them a letter! Best, Nicolas
LOL, Richard.
Actually, I work... The secret is that I don't sleep a lot. Best, Nicolas
Still (and always) in love with this watch!
Have a good weekend PuristSPro friends! Cheers, Daos...
Thanks, Livius!
I appreciate your kind words, and see that you are enjoying your equally gorgeous Minerva today! Have a wonderful weekend! Cheers, Daos
i do like this Daos and when fortunes change........
i am seriously considering the foudryante. a bit of willpower, saving and good fortune and it could be mine before they stop making it. best Graham
Now that's a way to awaken the senses!
Hi, Andrew! I must confess that everytime I see pictures of your 5513 my heart misses a beat. Simply gorgeous patina and incommensurable charm. Have a great weeked, Alex
Too kind, Alex ...
I know you have a soft spot for these Rolex too. The 1675 is on my list at some stage, and you have a very nice example as well. It is certainly that 'popcorn patina' that makes it special. Andrew
I am wearing it today in your health!
Hi, Andrew! Your comments are much too kind. Let's hope that you will find a lovely 1675 to give a warm companion to your 5513. Here's a quick and bad pictures of mine, and I am also wearing a la Graham another watch in my right wrist which I am sure you ...
Jeff's photo deserves a song of it's own, no? . . .
. . . nuthin' like a bunch of ol' guys havin' fun ;-) . . .
i can feel you are now so leisure taking a cup of lazy coffee....
... by the way a nice pic of wonderfully matching color! stefan
that is just perfect Jeff
most of us are happy to get a strap to match our lume, but you can match your coffee to your watch. sheer genius. best Graham
All week long wear
As per our designer in chief Luc's special request here is my "Every boy wants to become an astronaut but only a few get the chance" watch of the week. Have a great weekend everybody! Martin...
I thought that.....
you wanted to be the invisible man.... lol HAGWE my friend.... cheers
Ahhh, the Pythagore!
A wonderful watch and a movement to love! I should have one in my box. It is a basic watch in the best of senses. Have a great weekend! Martin
While you guys are out having fun in the sun…!
Some of us have to work, and the rain is pouring down :-( My only comfort is that today is a Polaris day – so how bad can it be? Hagwe Blomman...
Looks like the right watch for the job!
... and should certainly brighten your day. Nice Polaris. A
Thanks donizetti! I'll try to make take
some iconic shots of HK with it today, pray for me it'd be a good day, it's been rainy this week. Cheers my friend HAGWE Mech.
Gorgeous pic, mech!
I neither recognise town nor Watch (Pam?), but the photograph is excellent! anaesdoc
Thanks Jed! I'll be in London next month, let me see if
PAM's big and wonderful reflective glass can capture he 'EYE' hahaha. HAGWE Mech.
Outstanding!! We're getting some of the best pics ever . . .
. . . this week. Innovative, Mech . . . love this photo. Cordially, Art
Thanks Art! PAM's big reflective crystal is ideal to make
shots like these! something Datograph's excellent anti-reflective glass can't do hahaha HAGWE! Mech.
Thanks Hans! Yes it's Pam!
I've been pampering my Pam for weeks now and bring it to 'interesting' places! hahaha HAGWE Mech.
Psychedelic, Mech.
If you're in London, try to ùeet our Purist friends! Best, Mech. Nicolas
It's going to rain all day here ...
So I'm prepared for moisture with this combo ....
Railmaster on Nato..shell cordovan Nato of course.
also this has just arrived back from service and new glass so i'll be wearing it on my right wrist for a couple of days. i didnt have the case refinished so ignore the scratches. HAGWE Graham...
this combo is just for...
this combo is just for you Art. your favourite watch on your favourite leather. i'll be honest, this is possibly the best look for the railmaster that i've had. better even than the stingray. its the military look of the dial that does it. best Me
It really is a good pairing, Graham . . .
. . . bring it to the g-t-g so that I can get a little wrist time with this combo . . . best regards, Art
'if' i can get there...
'if' i can get there i most certainly will. this Icelandic volvano has shut down all airports and some people say it could carry on spewing dust for up to 2 years or more. best G
thanks Stefan, i've just...
thanks Stefan, i've just got to find the right cheap strap and buckle for it, the current one i ok, but not perfect. best G
Wohow ...
... now i see .. what a strap .... I saw a railmaster for the first time last moday ... what a beast , i didn't know ... Also congrats on that beautifull Seamaster 600, is that the same case a my seamaster 30 ? Ze Bim
its a shame that 500...
its a shame that 500 miles and an expensive and currently packed tunnel train are between us as you really need to see this strap in person to appreciate how good it is. for me it was expensive, but as we discussed it suits 6 or more watches. its supple, ...
thanks Jed. this strap is...
thanks Jed. this strap is a must have for anyone with military style watches IMO. best Graham
Today I am enjoying my coffees much more than what’s on my wrist
Today I am enjoying my coffee much more that what’s on my wrist. Well, I am now going to have time to look at my Time. Jaeger-LeCoultre Atmos 561, resting on a specially prepared shelf which has been polished brilliant to get a special mirroring and refle...
Do 2 Old Atmos & 2 Old Ikepod = 1 New Atmos Newsome?
I can't match your Atmos, but I can bring some cookies to share while we compare! Cheers Cazalea...
fabulous Atmos Poy. it makes my base model look insignificant
the display is superb as well. best Graham
Sometimes the newer expression wins some other times the older versions win
Atmos are a perfect sample of simple science Right now I prefer the more modern versions. To me an Atmos remains an Atmos and they are fabulous to look at them so mysteriously functioning. Many thanks for your kind post. PoyFr
Now that's really great, POY.
Fantastic picture, my friend. This is the kind of photo which makes me really think about includeing a Newson in my collection. NOW, I'm JEALOUS! Best, Nicolas
You are wasting time and most of all missing out on it
pleasurable moments. imo, one more on your wrist will not bring you that sort of escapes. Admiring it, really takes your mind away.
1680 "white"
My lonely and poor, by this forum standards, "white" 1680 (circa 1979): The wrist belongs, of course, to my granddaughter. Sort of a miracle that she stopped for the picture and, better, the watch survived the process. Cheers, Nilo...
1680 White...
...Is by no mean a low standard watch. I believe it is one of the really really nice ones. Doesnt have to be red to fit here :--) Congratulations Nilo on the watch and on your granddoughter Cheers Hans
Nilo, despite Poy’s excellent shelf…
I have to give you my vote! Great watch and an even greater photo! HAGWE Blomman
Nilo, you're brave!
Love the 1680, which is certainly not "poor", but the wrist is infinitely more precious. Best, CaliforniaJed
LOL, Nilo.
Superb picture, and even nicer watch! When a 1690 has such a wonderful patina, I don't mind it is white instead or red. Best! Nicolas
Tchsss....
my friend.... I have been wearing one since last friday...... check who started last weeks wrist scan..... (thank you for your wishes too... ) cheers
Independent for me...
...Nienaber, old photo, beautiful watch. Have a good one, Dan...
long awaited new arrival..
my 2 year old son immediately named it "Robot Watch" and MCM became his instant favorite.. Soft spot for alarm watches can be inhereted genetically, JLC owners beware! joke aside, this is the watch that introduced JLC brand to me a few years ago. Before I...
Nice one! Congrats!
I love the MC Memovox. It's a solid-feeling watch on the wrist. I've toyed with picking one up, but with the new dressier Memovox just having been released, there are now other options that must be weighed against this model. Still, I really love the watc...
congrats
This was one of the first JLC's that caught my attention. Big congrats on the acquisition. --Sancerre
Love the crisp dial on this watch.
Great timepiece, Dan! You seem to be enjoying it -- as well you should! Cheers, Daos
Still a great watch......
and actually a better wristshot than last week.... the purple makes the dial warmer... cheers
thank you Sir ;0)
but it's still a long road for me to take nicer Photos. Cheers Tony
Picked one from service and got a new strap ...
for another one, but the winner of the day is still what I had on my wrist this morning. HAGWE Oliver...
changed my mind, changed my watch
Looks like work is going to be more work-like today, so no good wearing a large pristine watch. Time for something snug and sleek to fit under the long sleeves. Can one change one's mind regarding watch-wearing? Or watch-posting? Have a good weekend. Mike...
Wow, Mike...It has been a long time since I didn't see an Ikepod!
With POY's Atmos, is this Mark Newson's week? Best, Nicolas
Nice Ikepod, love it.
I'll buy one like that to join the two Manatees, the Megapode and the Seaslug. I was lurking on the Platypus, but it never saw the light, a pity. Vte :)
No firm date yet, Stefan . . .
. . . this will be an "On the Wrist" review, so I'm still working on it.
Friday from the southwest US
Hi, I hope that you all have a great weekend. --Sancerre...
I've yet to see that watch in the metal, and am anxious to do so.
Seems like such a sturdy and functional GMT. Best, Jed
sorries, my late entry for this Friday scan...
... just got my vintage JLC Memovox back from servicing. it is now running very strong, alarm is so loud and can last for 20 seconds long. amazing indeed! have a nice weekend ahead and hope all of my friends in Europe are well despite of volcanic eruption...
For those who have to travel, Stefan
This is a pure nightmare.... Planes are stuck on the ground till tomorrow, in France...And nothing is sure. Surrealistic. But, with a beauty like yours, we certainly feel better! Best, Nicolas
Still up in the air ...
Every plane is down, but it seems mine doesn't want to come down ... Cheers from the Bim (in trouble) .... ....
Y'all have a great Weekend!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I thought I would wear something a little dressier today other than my normal sportier offerings!...
Wow , a true classic JLC ...
do you know what year it is from ? Hopefully not 1964 ... .. Filip
I love it more and more, Jed...
Funny that I completely under estimated this watch! Posts and pics like yours make me totally re discover this Beauty. Best, Nicolas
Aren't we missing a "moonwatch" this Friday??
Here's mine: Soory, the photo quality does not at all live up to the standard this Friday - but it is a pretty darn difficult angle to shoot yourself... HAGWE! Nikolaj (stranded in Delhi due to ash clouds)...
nice shot Nikolaj and interesting...
nice shot Nikolaj and interesting bracelet to put on a speedy. can we have some more pics of it to see how it suits please. best Graham
It's actually an IWC Fliegerchrono
Hi Graham, The moon was only referring to the hairstyle (or lack of same ) I'm sure you know the watch but here's another and slightly more clear shot (still cell phone though): best Nikolaj...
you got me there Nikolaj...
you got me there Nikolaj :) i'm not very aux fait with IWC's which is why i didnt recognise it at first. best Graham
Well Graham, you're excused...
It was a rather bad pic and both are black dial chronos afterall It's a very comfortable bracelet, but wouldn't fit a Speedy. Nikolaj
Great background for the T-bird on a Jubilee . . .
. . . with the contrast between the diagonal weave of the rattan and the symmetrical layout of the links . . . best regards, Art
thanks Art.....
I had put it away for a while and decided it was time to bring it out again.
I missed this the first time through, Marc ...
Nice shot of a well loved and beautiful Rolex. Thanks! Andrew

Art, with this watch you feel a really attractive love...
As you said, its uncommonly handsome. A really nice and awesome watch. You would must add this MK II into your collection, or a vintage Benrus Type I or II. Its a really impressive hunt. thanks for your kind words, Arturo HAGWEE Emilio
very nice Glycine. i had...
very nice Glycine. i had the original 60's model and have a liking for the new bigger version like yours. so many i like and so little to buy with:)) best Graham
oops sorry, i just assumed...
oops sorry, i just assumed it was the 46mm model, but they do a 38mm as well dont they. the vintage model was about 36mm if memory serves me correct. best G
