Hello dear friends! I have the pleasure of hosting this last edition of WS for this year, starting today Friday 1st. December is here with us and and I felt a theme related with the Xmas Season and good old Santa Claus would be fun for this event. Beyond ...  

A favorite Xmas watch! No need to spend much money to enjoy a joyful Xmas watch! Tree lights reflecting on watch crystal This old Date Rolex has been on my wrist during every night of December 24th of the last 40/42 years: A bit of Moonshine on my wrist M...  

.. your Rollies’ series of GMTs, but also the “modest” Timex nicely breathes the Xmas spirits. Your 1655 Explorer and also the Omega flightmaster are somewhat eclectic pics, and the shots with Santa & the Speedy around his belly is really a cute motif... 

... with some great Xmas shots during the weekend. Agree with you that the JLC watch is a very cool watch. I feel this watch and his fellow model (twin crowns) which I also own deserve a separate post which I intend to post in a near future. Thank you for...

Photo was taken around New year Eve in the snow in the Alps. ...  

Have a great Christmas Season! And thanks a lot for your kind greetings! Best cordial regards, Abel

That’s quite a Christmas selection. The Moonshine gets my attention every time 🥂

Look forward to view your Xmas choices! Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend. Abel

You’ve brought out the Xmas spirit alright with your shots and it makes me want to go out to get a tree straight away 😁 Fine selection of watches for the season, too! Now the question is for those two Christmases in the last 42 years you didn’t wear the R... 

... Actually I wore it in every 24th and 31st of December night since it was presented to me by my wife in 1982... except for one recent year which I wore my GMT ceramic. But I keept returning the old custom again afterwards. It´s my Lucky Watch! Best cor... 

Off the beat picture. ...  

Wonderful watch to celebrate Xmas!! Have a great Christmas Season with my warm regards. Abel

😊🎅

I thought to share my last watch this year, in a way a self- inflicted arrival, but also some other watches with a connection to the Xmas time of the year, a time which we always enjoy.. A joyful Rollie, which always makes me smile.. This dear RG Geomatic...  

Plenty of Christmas treats in your photos. I particularly like your photos of your 5110P. Beautiful !

Glad, you liked the shots ! Wishing you a great pre-Xmas time ! Best, 😊😊

Merry Christmas 🎄

... a superb gift from Santa!! As you know I´m very fond of W.T. complication and Patek makes the Kings of them all. Enjoy it so much and in the best of good health. The JLC WT Seconde Morte is another great timepiece with this complication. The cute litt... 

A watch I would like to add eventually, too! A fabulous yet suitably understated WT IMHO. And you have a raft of Xmas suitable alternatives, too, all being great choices for the theme. Definitely have a soft spot for both the Milgauss and the JLC selectio... 

Glad you liked the 5110P, it’s really a very welcomed Xmas „gift“ and I love to look on this low key but very attractive dial ! All my Best to you & yours for a joyful pre-Xmas time !! Best, 😊😊

. . . a few days ago. Oh, and a few guys we both know will also be going with yours truly, one to Vegas and the other here in LA. It's going to be a WPS X-mas this year! 🎄 ...  

Santa arrived early this year !

I like so much the choice of straps for your vintage Speedy. Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Best, Abel

I do hope it’s a great concert (or two in your case) 👌🏻👍🏻 Great watch choice, too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

. . . for a second LA show on July 13th. To put it in perspective, there were over 12000 in the queue ahead of me Wednesday morning. Friday, there were six.

Enjoy them so much!! Abel PS: are you changing watches or vintage Speedmaster for the three shows?

Hello dear Abel and friends ! Can you can you believe it’s December, where did this year go ! My choice of watches for Christmas is still under consideration but I am feeling the Christmas spirit … It’s got to be gold for Christmas day as I'm completely o...  

I can easily understand that you are still considering your watch for Christmas celebration. You share several great choices making difficult to select just one for that special day. The Moonshine may be... It´s a great choice indeed and probably the winn... 

Is pure genius - as is your all female reindeer cast (male reindeer have no antlers this time of year) 😁 Great shots as always, especially the myrrh free opening one 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Thank you for your kind words. The Mince Pie Explorer ( MPE ) MK1 has the collectible sweet crust bezel and crimped edge. It was originally produced in a series of half a dozen.

... enter an order for one of a half order!! Lol! Cheers! Abel

I hear that a limited edition reissue could be announced soon 😉

Glad to know you like the theme. Great shot you are sharing. Interesting lighting set up to focus and highlight your beautiful “Batman” GMT. Is it a new addition to your collection? Have a nice Xmas season! Abel

The watch is not a new collection, probably have not worn it in a jungle to get it some characters. Have a wonderful holiday break!

We will have a monthly event during 2024 and I hope you’ll enjoy participating again. You got a superb Rolex which deserves much wrist time. Character will come with normal use through the years with small dings and scratches even with careful use. Main t... 

Watches get worn on rotation. It will just take a bit longer to get the aging characters..

The quality shines through 👍

Since each year we have two Xmas dinners it will make my life easier because I don’t think I would have been able to choice between the Chopard XPS and the Vacheron Oversea. Luckily I will be able to wear each one, one at each event. There could be a new ...
