blomman Mr Blue's post, 'Calling Ubik, Amanico and all Friends from Paris...', is a nostalgic reflection on shared horological moments and vintage Breitling watches. Prompted by a photo from Ubik, the author reminisces about a memorable Paris gathering and expresses his desire for a vintage Breitling SuperOcean, highlighting the enduring appeal of these classic timepieces and the camaraderie among collectors.
Not long ago, Nicolas 50K post went by…
…and Ubik posted this pic:
This got me thinking about the happy moment we shared in Paris!
All the great people I met and all the stunning watches I saw…
Two among all the watches was these fantastic Breitling Super Ocean’s.
Make me wish there were three arms in that photo…
…including mine with a matching watch!
The closest I come to this was when I had a photo shoot with my friends 1968 Navitimer…
But one day I hope to have the right props for these ads!
Back to the first pic…
The photo also reminded me I should post this…
Since I don’t have the matching watch, I share this with a friendship watch on top!
The ad is from 1960 – guys, please not the crown and bracelets!
Hope to share moments like this together with all of you soon!
Best, my friends

Damn! My pleasure will be greater when I find it... As for our GTG, I will post something in mid March... Just to focus on the event. But we already have Simon, Filip, Graham, a very special guest, King Of Cool, you, and me, for the moment. Hope the usual Brit suspects can join, too. The Inglorious Bastardos have to be all here, for us to have all the fun! Best, Nicolas
