Zhege initiates a warm discussion celebrating Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, by sharing a personal tradition and a wristshot. This post evolves into a community-wide invitation from MTF for members to share their 'regular watches,' fostering an inclusive environment that values diverse timepieces beyond high-end complications.
"ah gut yohr". (I'm hoping that I spelled correctly). A great new year to all, Nilo
a good and sweet New Year 5574 ! another tradition is to eat pomegranates - said to contain 613 seeds, equal to the number of mitzvot (the good deeds) we should remember to perform ..... my choice for this festive day, a 1945 Breitling Chronomat ref. 769.
Dear PuristS, This 5774th Jewish year is an ideal occasion to show that PuristS are also all-inclusive for watches. Not just the Patek Philippe or Piaget or Cartier super-complicated expensive time-pieces but regular watches like what I have on now. I invite all the regular watch lovers of the world to show support for this by joining this thread. Let me count your presence to see if we can have a Man-in-the-Street Forum. No promises..... but if we can't see you we don't know if we need one. Hap
But I believe that the pusher at 2 is to set the weekday. Cheers, Nilo
Nilo, "Hello Brasilian" ! Of course, you are correct about the extra button for the week day change. What a useful button it is too. Instant change by a simple push. The whole week can be changed in 3 seconds! Do you think there will be many Orient lovers in Brasil? There are many Japanese 3rd and 4th generation immigrants. I hope Brasilians will join in this sub-thread with any brand of watches that are popular there. Not just the super complicated models that a BRIC economy can afford. Regards
Don't me ask why but is trivial to locate vintage Seiko chronographs and vintage Orient divers. Vintage Seiko divers are more rare. Language barrier is a big problem for most of Brazilians to be here but they actively monitor the posts here and put links on their Brazilian Portuguese forums. The most recent link was to Dr. Strong post about the Omega divers. The link title is "Deu no The Purists: Os Omega Comex". I sent a PM to Jeff to tell him that he is famous here. Cheers, Nilo
