You have taken such great shots of this watch
Such a beauty, I\'ve only really come to appreciate it recently
Same brand from last year - IWC Perpetual
Team, I enjoy seeing my perpetual to switch, as I did last year. Last year was a white dialed Portugieser Perpetual Calendar (gone) and this year I plan to wear the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar blue dialed. This will happen, if I don't melt because we a...
The Kurt Klaus special.
Ha you worn that last week it could have been the "Santa" Klaus special.
Never noticed the North/South hemisphere indicator before...
Nice detail! And a very nice choice for New Years! Best Blomman
Like Nilo I am wearing an IWC perpetual
Unlike Unlike Nilo, we are not having a heat wave. Even though it's been cold and rainy this past week, I was able to get a few minutes of sunshine to look at our scruffy little herb garden which my wife has nurtured in plastic recycling crates. Most of t...
Two in a row!
Well, if one would show a moon and the other not... I would be worried! Best Blomman
Perpetuals force one to worry
Every month change, every year, every decade, it\'s: "Will it change? Will it change?" Then, "Whew! It changed. I dodged another service!" Cazalea
This was a great post
IWC and freshly grown vegetables and herbs. Three of my favourite things!
Grand Seiko will be gracing my wrist for 2017 :) butttttt
am stuck in a secluded house with only my ipad to take some shots, they turned out interesting...color is off but I like how they turned out Happy 2017 all ...
Thank you so much if i had my camera set up id be able
To show the colors of the piece and the engraving round the 1 and 2 markers, you can make out Caliber 9R a bit from the 3rd pic but not the full "Caliber 9R 10th Anniversary Since 2014" Seiko really made this Spring Drive amazing Heres an old shot from wh...
The GS pattern on the dial in your third shot....
Never noticed that one before! Very cool! Best Blomman
One will be on each wrist
I could explain now why on few pages but all I will say because one thing that was highlight of this year for me Friendship...pure....unselfish...genuine....friendship....friendship that can be named after one appliance Have a great 2017 friends!!! D ...
Have great 2017, dear friend!
Wonderful to see this pair! And yes, what would life be without friendship? Best Blomman
All the best my dear friend
and I'll drink to at least one common GTG in 2017 Yours truly Damjan
My two new Christmas babies together ;-)
Happy New Year to everybody. Best wishes Alkiro ...
This JLC Futurematic is the coolest version of them all, IMO
The Futurematic logo seen here was on the later versions (1957): Yours looks to be in top condition! Best Blomman ...
The Futurematic is a tricky one to service....
Make sure to have the correct instruction! Best Blomman ...
Many thanks my friend
My Master watchmaker is very good so I\'m very confident with him ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Now that's just greedy!
But as Gordon Gecko said Greed is Good ;-) Fantastic pair of portholes Cheers JML
Many thanks JML
Absolutely agree with you about this maxim. You should have a look to the Kari\'s 5110 PP collection and you will see that I\'m an amateur compared to him ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
I'll wear this one
as it has the most hands that will be moving around Mid-night. Should be fun to watch. ...
Are you learning Swedish, Padj?! :)
That is excellent! But I guess German would be more useful for H...! Best Blomman
Smoooth and beautiful pic, i feel like having a cigar or drink after seeing it and the
Craziest part is I dont drink or smoke :o
I still don't know, but I have this one...
With a new insert, which I will certainly take in picture this week end. Best, Nicolas ...
You could set the GMT hand for 6 hours back
and wish us on the East Coast a Happy New Year. Just a thought.
Actually, that is what I had in mind. I have a lot of friends in the GMT -5, -9 and +7
Time zones... Best, Nicolas
A nice rose with a reminder to get all the calendar
watches of all kinds ready for the New Year change. Maybe a few pictures or videos of the change would be fun. The rose is not a hot house bloom, right from the garden! A crazy weather year. Best to you all and Happy New Year. Tim ...
The dial is also one of my all time favorites, pairs well with the platinum. Thank you for
your kind remarks. Best, Tim
Wonderful shot of a great watch!
Exciting to see all the changes at midnight! Best Blomman
Two watches
Hi As I can't get out the habit I'll be wearing two Still not escaped the draw of an Urushi dial While a Reverso Duo will throw some alternative shapes on my other wrist Cheers JML ...
Great way to keep track of two time zones!
Two very different watches, nice! Best Blomman
I had to dig deep in the junk pile for this THING.
Then I had to replace the 20 year old battery and remember how to synchronize with the Atomic Clock but now I'm ready for them to throw that extra second at me! Happy New Year, Martin ...
The early watches with a radio receiver to get the signal from the atomic clock were popular toys.
I'm almost embarrassed to admit I still have one.
My choice for New Year's Eve will be
the Girard-Perregaux Chronometer HF with manual wind movement in 18k Yellow Gold. Very classic to end the year and start the new one. Have a great party everyone. CC ...
Very classy!
Super condition! A manual GP Chronometer is something I still miss... Best Blomman
Hmmhh.. Let me think.. Ok, will take the beginning of 2016 & then its ending.. One way of looking at it !.
Friends, well it looks that this year was a pretty prosperous one for my GP horses in the stables.. Here the beginning: A very nice modern GP to start with: GP Traveller GMT, Big Date, Sapphire Dial A strong appeal & with masculine charm Simple, pure, but...
Another GP?!
My friend, you are on fire! Your GP stable is growing rapidly! Congratulation and please present them more in detail in our forum! Best Blomman
That's a heavy GP artillery you are brining up here :)
Very good choices, just wonder will you wear all of them on New Year's Eve?
Well, dear CC- you know some of them quite well !.. As for tomorrow & New Year..
.. Guess I might take the Traveller GMT, Gde Date, moonphase & Sapphire dial.. - or my also loved YG Chronometer HF ( not shown above..) Modern or Vintage, that\'s the question here - but I will decide tomorrow rolling the dice.. All my very Best, hs

I started the new year weekend
with this Moser Concept Endeavor center Seconds Funky blue fume dial in steel. Have a great New Year weekend Blomman and friends! Blessed New Year to all! Cheers Robin ...
This Fume dial is fantastic!
Happy new year week to you and yours, my friend! Best Blomman
That blue is really beautiful
Very eye catching and I'm sure the beauty in different lighting is also going to be changing consistently
Happy New year to fellow Purist friends.

SARK001
Last purchase of the year for the countdown and fireworks later. Have a great 2017 everyone. ...
Hmm, you make me reconsider my choice for tonight
the Vintage 45 XXL would be a class act. But I think I will stick to the vintage gold Chronometer HF and then switch to the Vintage 45 on 1-Jan. Have a good one. CC
My New Year's watch is the watch that surprised me most this year
What I mean by "surprise" is that how much I really like this watch. It has a very Explorer-like vibe, yet is its own watch. It has elements of vintage Tudor and Rolex watches (Ranger II and 1530, respectively), but is throughly modern. It also ushered in...
We saw a lot of good things from Tudor the last couple of years...
This is definitely one of these examples! Congratulation! Best Blomman
Warming up a little to usher in 2017....
with a Big Bang Remember picking this up around X'mas of 2010, time really flies. Wishing all PP friends a blessed 2017. Cheers! SF ...
Going out with a Big Bang! ;)
Yes, time flies - especially when you ar having fun with watches! Best Blomman
I hesitate between these both
that do you prefer? Best whishes to everyone friends PP. Nino ...
Both great, but for New Year....
I would opt for the Reverso! Happy 2017! Best Blomman
For me a new combo...
Wishing you all a wonderful, healthy, happy and successful 2017 to all PuristS around over the world. Have a great one dear friends! Cheers Andrew ...
Without a doubt, you'll be the best-dressed . . .
. . . at the party! HNY, Andrew . . . and here's hoping for another London g-t-g in '17. Art
Stunning shots of a great combo!
OK, now I am very curious to know what belt you combined with this...?! Best Blomman
Two classics, both deserving . . .
. . . of the other. A sommelier couldn't pair any better. Art
Finally able to take a snap . . .
. . . of the Eve watch. Drizzly in So Cal today; put seed out in the back yard . . . . . . for the quails, and now off to the local for a pint and an hour or two of pool practice. Happy New Year, y'all! Art ...
Great shot, showing the leap year indicator changing!
A watch I was very impressed with once I finally saw it in real! Happy 2017! Best Blomman
A yen for ....
.... a small one. Zenith Pilot Montre d’Aéronef Type 20 Because it reminds me what transient time means... And of course my new love: Rolex DD 40 with green dial. [I haven\'t been able to upload my pics for hours, so I will try it later again] All the bes...
Happy and healthy 2017!
With or without photos, good to have you here with us! Best Blomman
Thanks a lot, dear Blomman! :-)
Now the pics: Zenith Pilot Montre d’Aéronef Type 20: DD 40: And I'm very happy to be here ...
