How can you improve on a black dial . . .

. . . embellished with rose gold?
With a pint of Santa . . .
. . . Rosa red ale, obviously.

Both the watch and the pic leave me speechless

One thing that makes me happy is that I know you know how lucky you are to have this one (even if it went with a lot of efforts for sure but it's the name of the game) and you know how to appreciate this stunning piece. Joe when I see this pic, simply WOW...

I was waiting for your answer my dear Mike ;-)

Well, I sent it to ALS last week for a full service as I want a new sapphire glass. So I\'m a little bit sad for the moment but I know it\'ll come back in a perfect state (I hope so!) And your L1? (I don\'t talk about the Mercator). Best wishes Alkiro

You are correct, Padj.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2017-02:38
The original rules clearly state the exemption for Wrist Scan purposes. Arie can be the ultimate judge, though.
Of course it is.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2017-07:22
It\'s because I am surrounded by the best people. The best and smartest. Just tremendous. Unbelievable.

By: Ares501 - Mr Green : February 24th, 2017-08:26
If I may, here are the exceptions for the contest.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2017-09:04
As per Arie's February 1 post: There are only 2 exemptions to the one watch rule: 1. you are inside a watch shop 2. the subject of the weekly wrist scan forces you to change the watch (for 2 minutes max).
I completely agree with your logic.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 26th, 2017-01:29
And it is the way I would act. But I truly believe Padj is a man of his word, as are we all. So, it is on his conscience to tell. But, this logic surely would not suffice in a court of law, n\'est-ce pas?
It depends on the way you plead it...
By: amanico : February 26th, 2017-01:31
Your Honor, imagine you are married. Imagine that you accept a date with a bomb. Imagine that thing turn well. Will you really say goodbye after only 2 minutes? Hmmmm?
It's all circumstantial.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 26th, 2017-02:44
I will take Padj's side, even at the risk of losing an argument to a Frenchman.
So this is what I wake up to.
By: TheMadDruid : February 26th, 2017-05:18
Spurious allegations emanating out of the Jardin Luxembourg! Well...the watch was worn for less that two minutes; maybe even less than one. But it is obvious I go forward with a cold, gray cloud of most vile suspicion hanging low overhead. So... I'm out! ...
Nice call.

By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2017-04:30
You are right, it is a very low profile, only recognized by the cognoscenti. And I love the black one also, because of the date window. I like that on yours it is black, so is not as perceptible, whereas on mine the background is white and stands out.
Interesting comments you make Zabreg! ...
By: Subexplorer : February 24th, 2017-07:12

Exactly why I brought it up.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2017-07:18
Though I don\'t mind the date windows on most watches. Your black version with black background for the date window is definitely the purist\'s choice.
And you as well.
