As discussed in the announcement thread, this week's theme is "watches and our other hobbies / passions." We all share a passion for watches but what else do we share in common? Hopefully this thread will be a fun one and let us know a little more about w...
Really I need a separate post, but some basic info... these 6 revolvers are all made by Smith & Wesson. The 3 on the left are 357 Magnum, probably my favorite caliber to shoot in a handgun. The 3 on the right are 44 Magnum... these are definitely more of ...
That is a blued 44 Magnum, and it "can blow your head clean off". That movie really elevated the 44 Magnum to cult status, and Harry carried an 8 3/8" barrel length.
... passion beyond watches!! Regret to say I donβt have at hand pictures to share of my own collection in this department . But let me tell you that I have been involved with shooting and reloading and guns collecting for more than forty years. Nice to kn...
My interest in firearms began with admiring their beauty. They are like works of art for me. I have always been a fan of high quality manufacturing and craftsmanship. Guns exude those qualities, you don't have to ever fire them to enjoy them. But of cours...
... when they receive embellishments of engraving or other type of decoration. Target shooting both formal and informal is a very interesting sport which requires of many efforts both physically and mental from the shooter. I also share with you similar g...
27, 28, and 29 in almost all barrel lengths? YES, this sounds amazing!! As a full coincidence, I have a mint 29-2 8 3/8" inbound. It has the Carbona bluing process. The 5" 29-5 in my group photo has the newer process, and I am looking forward to owning re...
... but still own my collection. Different personal and family matters take much of my time lately to visit the range to shoot and to devote to my hobbies in general. Though I got many variants of guns from Smith and Colt, I have abandoned the buying of n...
I hope you did not forget to remove the watches before using your driver and hit the ball and watch together ππ€£π€£. Cool pics and superb array of Namiki pens, my other passion as you know π
As for our shared love of Namiki fountain pens, you already know how I feel about that my friend π Looking forward to seeing and reading about some of your other passions π
... (far) less sophisticated than the OP, one of my main hobbies (besides drinking coffee) is Crossfit. Iβm used to train once a day everyday except Sunday. Unfortunately, since Covid lockdown, I have no choice but to train @home, hence the poor equipment...
Really cool about crossfit πͺ. Awesome technique for training and one of the best for all-round fitness and performance. Never got into crossfit although I trained in martial arts for 16 years in total π
... similar passions! Lol!! Great shots dear Nicolas and superb watches from your collection. Iβm specially fond of the two JLC Duometres you show blue and white dials. Specially the white dial is one of my grails. Keep enjoying and loving these men treas...
I love this theme which shows the personality of each of us. And your pics are so you Nico showing how passionate you are about watches and cars. It's not only hobbies but real passion, I have the feeling you are in front of me talking loud and moving you...

If you allow me to cheat, I would like to re-use a post on a similar question a few months back as I like Vinyl as well as Digital equally...I think both are great and with DSD today, digital has matured into an organic medium as much as Vinyl can be. How...
. . . there was no question that analog was the superior medium, and not by a slim margin. I suppose digital has improved markedly since. Still, when it comes time to put a system back together, it's going to be analog. Art
A serie the brand made in white en yellow gold . I purchased it after buying our first RR 20 years ago . Thought it was kinda cool to have it on the wrist while driving the RR .
This Remontoire is really top top cool and the strap is just perfect to give it a cool look instead of formal classic. Are the 2 Agusta bikes yours too? I did not know that,.. The hidden side of you my friend As a former bike lover I understand so well bu...
Yes the two MV Agusta bikes are mine , i also own a 350 race bike from the brand . Bikes and cars are also a big passion π. To bad you canβt drive a bike anymore π its so relaxing and fun imho. Wish you a great Sunday my friend
I used to enjoy cruising but specially speed everywhere with bikes, cars, ski... and now I have nice memories. Of course big regrets but I can't help it, c'est la vie. At least I have enjoyed it remendously for long even if it is now behind me. Don't worr...
, true cars , bikes and watches are a passion since my childhood, i guess because my old man has got similar passion and we love to restore and work on them together.
Here's a small representation of some of my favorite collections. There are others, but not easy to photograph with a watch. Medieval manuscript pages... ancient and medieval antiquities... Mid-century sculpture and art... Pens... Coins... 18th century Eu...
Most of the pieces range from neolithic through about the 15th century although some are somewhat more recent, into the Renaissance. They include Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Luristanian, Chinese, Byzantine, German, Israeli, Pre-Columbian, Canaanite, Japanese,...
. . . my teens: music, exemplified by following the Stones on tour . . . [Anaheim, '13] . . . with forty shows under my belt since '78; ale . . . [pint of Newcastle] . . . with forty firkins under my belt (maybe more!); Omegas old and new . . . . . . with...
and could not do what most other teenagers were doing. No regrets as I understand and appreciate how and why it was done but when I share with others it does make me reminisce a but of what trouble I could have gotten into ππ€£
. . . to see the Stones with my pals. Missed their shows at the Forum in '72 and '73, and then again in '75 when we were in Alaska. I was almost 21 before seeing them for the first time. I might've been upset with Dad back then for not letting me out on m...

... attention to clothes or fashion. It is thanks to my wife that I get new clothes though I hate to try them in fitting rooms. I donΒ΄t care much as long my clothing is clean and well pressed! Lol! Have a nice week ahead my friend and take care! Best cord...
I love chocolate, and like how independent watchmaking has expanded in the past decade, the past decade has also seen the expansion and appreciation of craft chocolate. This is the rose gold Nomos "mocca" dial, a lovely brown, against a chocolate bar from...
What a pieces you have shown. Amazing. To say the truth I have some watches that can be called high end or at least near high end. However I have a lot of fountain pens but by now I did not jump to the great ones. Tempted with some Taccia limited editions...
I just tell my wife and family that I like learning and want to enjoy life without regrets so I indulge where I can without harming myself, my family, or others around me π€ͺ
Can really see your love for golf, bravo! If I can call it a hobby...I like to take pictures when I am travelling. I think the rolex with predominantly black color tone go well with the cams π Have a good weekend. SF ...
Hello dear Holdemchamp and friends, Watches have been part of a long journey of passions over the years, including flying and skiing and cars. Stories to share another time. A few things have been a constant along the way and music has been one of these. ...
Your nice pictures well show those which have been a constant with you. Well played as usual my dear friend. I wish you a beautiful and peaceful week end my friend. Best, Abel.
My main hobby is my work but after family and work my hobbies are watches, cars, hifi and some fishing (but not that much): My favorite watch and car: Newish and old: Home cinema rack: Gone fishing: Have a great weekend π Fram ...

BIG congrats for finally receiving your EW 321. I absolutely love mine and I am sure you will have as much fun and joy wearing it as I do with mine ππ As for music, I wish I had learned to an instrument when I was younger but I was busy with academics, sp...
One thing is for sure... Since you have already tested your Speedmaster 321 for shock resistant, I will not take mine to the golf course anytime soon )) Warmest regards
This Lotus is one of my favorite. I likened it to a 2 hand watch... no frills, just a pure execution of a driving machine. Sadly no longer in the garage. I still miss the Sunday morning drives with this Lotus. Found a couple of photos from an older iphone...
I guess I don't need to tell you what my hobbies are apart from watches: fountain pens, cuff links and photography. The best is actually to be able to merge all these passions in some photographs where I put them together. Here are some samples in no part...
Unfortunately no. That 5024G has a 215PS inside. I had to let go all my manual wound watches except very exceptions you know why... I must say that Gondolo was simple but a very elegant piece
My first passion, so to speak, for collectibles involves fountain pens (and inks, paper, and pen cases). I also really enjoy fine leather products including those by Filson and Bellroy. This photo brings together a Stowa, which does not get much wrist tim...

... this so interesting thread devoted to our personal passions beyond watches. I must admit that my wife is right when she says I have too many passions. But I guess collecting things with passion is something I carry in my blood. Before arriving to seri...

They are all beautiful in different ways but I particularly like this one. It reminds me of the Spanish artistic style of the period. Perfect colour choices. ...

Lately Iβve been diving into sneakers and chasing drops and limited editions. A passion that was ignited by my 9 year old son. We are going into cleaning kits and collection boxes with UV filters and what notπ. Great fun and a bit of an obsession. Today w...
Nice when the kids can get you going on something and start a fire π₯ Same way I got into watches with my now 30 years old son BTW. My longest lasting passion is coffee, but since itβs also my work it doesnβt really count. Still feels like a passion though...
With travel being restricted and our relocation to here last year being very space limited, quite some of the other passions had to stay behind but hereβs a few shots irrespective. I do like the odd pen. Not a major collecting area but still... I am also ...
