Haven't posted lately even though still collecting. Here's my most recent.


LF Classic Origin in November of 2020






Switched out the strap for this. I think it dresses it up a bit more. Next up.






Urban Jurgensen 1140L SS February 2021




Interesting dial. It's gold, but for me I see green tones in it which I think is evidenced by their selection of a khaki colored strap. Love the Breguet numerals!  








Laurent Ferrier Montre Ecole Autumn dial in SS with micro rotor. Watch came on a brown strap which I didn't think did the dial justice so I switched for this. Not the best pic but the grey has a purple eggplant undertone. It really pops. May 2021











This shot is a little better. 





This one's a keeper.





Forgive my indiscretion Indies. Omega Museum Collection #8 Racend Timer. This is also a keeper. A brown strap was attached to this upon arrival and got switched for this grey with light blue stitching. November 2021
 






This is a wonderful timepiece. The silver dial and grey sub dials with the dark grey indicators all make for such a wonderful palette. For me at 39mm is just the sweet spot. THE END. Thanx,J

Huge congrats, I surely have a soft spot the two LF (and the Classic Origin Opaline particularly) but they are all GREAT! Wear them in the best of your health!

Thanks for sharing. As I have an origin, how do you compare that with the Ecole? I like the idea of both movements, but being small second time only, wondering your thoughts? Kevin

The 'autumn' dial LF with your excellent strap combo is my favorite! Thank you for the images, Filip

I particularly love the LF Classic Origin White. Not sure if it’s still available but I’ve been seriously tempted for a while. The only downside in my mind is that it lacks the lovely LF micro-rotor, and since I don’t have any LF (yet) perhaps it shouldn’t be my first. But you’ve solved that issue with another LF with the micro-rotor, so that’s the way to do it! Congratulations.
