Dear Purists, here goes my wristscan premiere - and as announced earlier this week, the theme is 'free'. Looking forward to a raft of interesting pieces, in places and situations of your choosing (food is optional but not to be discouraged). If you would ...
Wonderful shots, Padj! And I have to say that the Foudroyante looks almost WG in some pictures - interestingly done As for food - maybe I will regret my own gentle hints - especially since there is no more food scheduled for today (and since I anticipate ...
. . . with this morning's breakfast? Leftover baked potato from last night's supper at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, sautéed in avocado oil with green onions, and my favored blend of Ethiopian with Kona coffee. And yes, it is rather late . . . . . . owing to...
As I will not lose weight as suddenly as my wife soon will, I need to prepare more thoroughly - i.e. by skipping dinner. Not easy but helpful, especially as it means I eat lunch each day now Your late breakfast does look truly delicious, though. As does t...
Is your EoT brand new, or what Nico likes to call a 'crocodile watch' - i.e. a piece you have had for a while but hidden away from prying eyes? At any rate a very nice one it is and a great choice! Thanks
... and today my free theme is 'watches I do not own (yet)', putting my hopes behind the 'yet' having some relevance 😉 Now here they are, and the picks will not be totally surprising to some of you. Going for understatement first, with a straightforward w...
I suppose the second one will be a matter of days (or I hope so for you) and the other two are close behind? Great and very diverse trio you have shown
A wonderful 1945 - so romantic and easily compensating for the somewhat reduced legibility with its sensual appeal. Great choice, Brauner! And food, too - well done
And your text reminded me of one of my favourite sayings of my daughter these days (from Bubble Guppies) about the Secret of the Sphinx. What is the secret of the sphinx then? Nobody knows. I guess it can only be cute and fun if a three year old does this...
ABR at Costa Amalfitana - Colors & A view to indulge.. This MIH joined just at beginning of this summer. Like its minimalism.. Cheers & HAGWE to all ! hs. ...
... all beautiful! But you know there sre two which make me daydream! One the Lange 1 already on my stable. The other the Breguet La Tradition Im in the hunt! Keep loving and enjoying your superb collection! Hagwe my friend! Abel
KMII, First of all, congratulations for your first WristScan as Moderator. A watch that I seldom wear: JLC Master Compressor GMY Chronograph Ceramic: Big but nice on the wrist: A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Not only are the watches exquisite but you managed to pair each one with food, too 👌🏻👍🏻 Would be interested to learn more about the Staudt - seen it on IG but not much more. As for your DB - got some nice memories of that one 😊 Thanks for that 'different'...
And what about your timepieces. So so cool! This Staudt is impressive 😳 First time I see one 👍 What an entry my friend. Hats off to you! Best wishes Alkiro
I needed to do something ,,extra,,because you raise the bar so high for all other participants 😉 . Staudt is just a nice small company from holland with a Very kind and driven owner Ivo Staudt .
. . . after seeing your post. I'd never heard of them before. Very much to my liking; movement finishing is reminiscent of the Hamilton 921 movement . . . . . . in my long-departed RGM. Art ...
. . . it boiled down to my perception of its case design . . . a little more angularity and matte surfacing, and it probably would've passed muster. The movement view was the whole shebang; the rest, uninspiring. Funny thing is, it's roughly the same dime...
. . . and yes, the dial isn't exactly mesmerizing. This one's all about the rear view. Not just the movement , which I find delectable, but also the way it's packed into the case with not a millimeter to spare. Art ...
Hi Padj! No, I haven't hypermobility! ;-) :-D My better half was playing with my reflex (while I was tasting her beer...) and she suddenly ordered me: "Stay like that!" The original picture had a landscape shape, but I preferred to crop it obtaining an up...
A static picture of the iconic Rolex Submariner 6538 " Big Crown". Similar watch which was used in James Bond's "Doctor No"... This one is from 1959 with a gilt dial that has some very slight crackling/spiderwebbing, a nos bezel (the original was lost loo...
... this WS edition you are hosting! I'll play with a watch I bought a few years ago that had been sitting inside my safe for many months. I feel it's a shame so I put in use last week and it remains in my wrist now and will keep it during next days as we...
The Oris Diver Sixtyfive is a great watch and a very fair offer in many ways. While I am fully with you in terms of the date - at least the original from the 1960s had one too - there was no no-date precedent. And it is much more pleasantly integrated on ...
... yes though I prefer non date watches this feature doesn't weigh so much in my purchase decisions. I just like or not like the watch. I've never paid attention to date in my watches and as a matter of fact almost never set the date in my own watches ex...
Everytime I see a Grönefeld watch, I just cannot stop smiling as I think of Tim & Bart and the fantastic moments we spend together each time. These 2 brothers are amazing and make amazing watches ! Wear yours in the very best of health !
Having been a manager in a large department where we dedicated one room just for "pumping" and it wasn't quite soundproofed enough ... I am just wondering; don't get any ideas!
.. I have been looking for a decent Chronograph, which is missing from my shrinking collection box. I will still keep looking but this one is interesting enough and very nice for a relaxing time... Sure, I do not own a car, but what the heck! The "pusher"...
Turned on the "rolex produces the best watches period" mood this week. I consider that perhaps a white dialed one should be more appropriate for the sunny and super warm weather though
I see you have gotten yourself one of the most fascinating and beautiful modern GOs Congratulations on this great piece and may it be more reliable than your whiskey 'bottle'. Thanks for this beautiful entry!
I got it in May but must have had other things to post about then. I've been wanting one for about 4 years but the time was never right before to buy. This was a swap that worked out. First photos: Mike ...
