After seeing all SIHH rich announcements I'm on a very humble mood. Nothing better than a Sinn U2 to express this: I let this Sinn go on a trade but I feel bad and I was able to acquire it again. It makes the perfect beater. The case can stand ... a war. ...
. . . U2 and war brings . . . . . . this album to mind! Sinns are damn fine watches. There was a time when a 756S was high on my list, but I drifted towards vintage Omega chronos before pulling the trigger on one. ...
. . . who wore a SeaDweller. She became a past acquaintance after I became aware of her ten cats, all of which were black. When the phrase 'cat lady' was coined, they had her in mind. :-)
. . . and attractive, too . . . Italian stock, resembled Sophia Loren. I was really taken by her wearing a SD . . . it wasn't an affectation - she wore it daily. Too bad about my allergies ;-) . . .
.....my wife loves her Rolex....and yes there is something ...je ne sais quoi.... about a pretty woman with a Sub on her wrist. Now the next question is; was it a 1665 or 16660 or more modern?
....I once noticed a young woman wearing a sub...she was also wearing very tight leggings....and after I had made out the model of the watch (for the interested it was a 14060m) I let out a very loud: "nice!" She turned and thought I was looking at her "d...
ah mr Epilogue, the words should be 'nice watch' or 'nice bum'. you have to be specific :) you could of course have said 'you are a very beautiful young woman, made all the more beautiful because of the watch you wear'. best to you from the south of engla...
...I have to recount the story as it happened and "nice" was the only word I used which I suspect led to the young woman's confusion...! But here I see that you have experience (very smooth gentleman you are), next time I will definitively say what you ta...

almost Dali like how the dial "melts" under the plexi. Once again I am impressed with your choice of strap. I like the cut grove between the edge and the stitching which adds something very vintage to it. What is the leather? Look almost like elephant... ...

. . . all along, Bill. This Doxa Sharkhunter belongs to an acquaintance who was a USN diver decades ago. It originally belonged to Jacques Cousteau, and was given to him by Cousteau's son. Art ...

. . . of the prior posting of your Lip came to mind, Fred. The watches in your collection that spark my memory are your fabulous black Connie, followed by the Super Kontiki.
this particular piece was beginning of beautiful friendship ;) Our first encounter on PPro and allow me to quote you back then " Believe it or note, Ares501, the expert at Glashütte Original.... provided details of your friend's watch before I even saw yo...
I would say this is a humble steel chronograph, but it is a lovely watch to wear. The water lilly is my own 'stinking corpse flower' equivalent. The plant has been in my pond for 10 years and I can only recall it flowering on 2 previous occasions. Andrew ...
. . . scampi, mushrooms, and chopped tomato prepared in olive oil with red pepper flakes and garlic; starter was a caprese salad. You know what I said to myself when the pasta was brought out? "The simple things bring pleasure." :-)
all is good thanks. i'll be doing a review on this piece soon to show how much ahead of its time it was. best G On 25 Jan 2013 10:45, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* nikolaj (registered) on January 25th, 2013 - 02:44 > > *...
after your exchange of posts with Damjan above, I think you now prove them very wrong! :) I did indeed share an old photo today which I have posted earlier (much earlier). The backdrop is a hand printed raw silk sari, I picked up in India. Very difficult ...
U can appreciate the sentiments. It's not been worn very much. Now I wonder why ... relooking at it. That Seiko is gorgeous, may I ask what model is that.
. . . purchased in January '66, and quickly retired from service. Dad practically never wore it, and then passed it on to my brother a very long time ago, who also never wore it. When I finally got my hands on it, there was little wear on the movement, so...
Hello Art, thanks for encouraging all those of us here, who are no big players in the watch league in terms of Patek and friends! This vintage Omega of mine is probably not humble in terms of value (although one may differ on the exact numbers), but it de...
is this reference 2463/1 with a caliber 320 faithfuly ticking inside. Sea and sea gulls are in my mind, thinking in my near vacations at the sea side, in a few weeks ahead. Have a great week end my dear friends! Cordial regards, Abel. ...
. . . with this masterpiece from Omega. I've seen more than a few silver dials of this reference, but never black. Would you mind sharing the background with us, Abel? Intrigued, Art
... which resides in my collection since a few weeks ago. As a matter of fact, it was my last catch of 2012, a few days before Christmas, just in time to put it under the tree! I only could see the movement the day I bought it, and its case back is so har...

the discus burger was a good investment. the prices some people are asking is ridiculous. i'm a bit sad i sold mine i have to say, but i get like that with everything i sell. G On 28 Jan 2013 21:40, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Pos...
and charged a sort of ridiculous price for it. But out with the old, in with the new. I don't think it's necessary to have both the MIH and the Burger at the same time due to some abstract similarity.
i think the MIH is a long term keeper. i have no intention of letting mine go.......yet. On 28 Jan 2013 21:46, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Ed. W (registered) on January 28th, 2013 - 13:46 > > *Title: Funny thing you sa...
. . . in last week's thread, Bruce, but there will be another coming up in a few days. Please join us then with an image or two of your latest watch. Cordially, Art

But we have to go earlier to play this game the Caribbean 1000 is early 1970's. The early player BlancPain, Rolex and Doxa for the divers. Blancpain was however limited to 50 fathoms rolex was at 200 meters and Doxa at 300 meters. HAGWE
ah Bill, that carribbean is from 1964. Jenny were granted the patent in 1963 and Ollech & Wajs made them in 1964. it looks much later, but is a true 64. G. On 1 Feb 2013 22:32, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Bill (registe...
