And that is coming from a guy who, like you, is "no so into gold but is occasionally fond of rose gold". Bravo.
Makes me realize I need to expand my horizons.

I'll share the watch I'm most thankful for, because I got it with the help of a very good friend. Always treasure my GP Olimpico 9245 And, speaking of thanking friends, another one dubbed this Olimpico "Aquaman" and gifted me these nice cuff links. HAGWE,...

I love seeing this watch. You know how to wear it too! Fantastic photography.
Here’s my entry.

Bought and collected a couple of hours ago. Paid full list price since my AD didn’t want to give me a discount. 😂 And it has some black too. Best, Volker ...
Cheers, my friend.

Not something special but a nice tool watch. Broke my own rules because I wanted to buy and keep only one tool watch (Sky-Dweller). 😳
at school.....

Congratulation!

My most recent purchase (from Monday, as it happens) seems entirely too bright for this theme. And it was unplanned, deeply but not the most deeply discounted, etc. so I can't do this one. I have this in the archives, but I think I've posted it in a Wrist...

Oh no!!! I’m really sad for you my friend to learn that
By: Alkiro1 : November 23rd, 2017-13:59
I think you should send it to Lange in Germany to fix the problem if it’s possible for you. Of course, it’s not something normal for such a timepiece but I definitely think that Lange should fix and repair your watch. Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you so much dear Alkiro! Yes, I feel...
By: Subexplorer : November 23rd, 2017-14:48

Wow, the London Edition 1931!
By: Tim_M : November 23rd, 2017-17:20
Sensational, congrats! Also, you did a wonderful job of capturing the reverse engraving in detail. That part rarely receives pride of place alongside the green dial in online photography. Best, Tim

Watches that surprised me
By: NT931 : November 24th, 2017-00:58

By: ninolitaliano : November 24th, 2017-11:19
if the moon disc and the time are one or two days ahead of time, we must turn the hands back one or two days, and then set the watch to the current time. Then push the crown and it is ok , all is synchronized for the next thousand years. Quiet !!!
Nice lineup, HS!
