Horological Meandering

. . . join me in congratulating our AP moderator . . . . . . on the accomplishment. And yes, in real life he bears a canny resemblance to Clint. ...  

. . . didn't know that was coming. 🤠

The Dollars Trilogy were literally the first live action movies my parents ever showed me as a kid, after years of exclusively watching cartoons. Despite never having been a cinephile, those films (and obviously the ones they were inspired by (Yojimbo)) l... 

. . . found an AP. (It belonged to one of their clients. Nice of him to let me photograph it!) ...  

I should join you in 4936 years. Please wait up

You might want to reconsider though if you even contemplate getting close to Vlad's number - that is only hypothetically achievable in Vlad years 😁👍....

like I need an extra 6539 years on top of that great, just great

Parmigiani yesterday, not one I have posted yet but I will soon enough.

I'll get it up at some point, still getting acquainted!

Instead, the fabulous rubber strap from the Tonda GT...

Have a good one! 🥂

In all the commotion I kind of forgot : ) Congrats!

A small sampling of hardware. Original Model 29 from 1959. The finish on this revolver is spectacular, and the balance of the gun with 6 1/2" barrel is perfect. For non-gun people, the feel is like a 39mm Jumbo on the wrist. All original, with B&P of ...  

...the wood grips are beautiful but the black grips seem more functional. I have the boring (but incredibly durable) plastic grips on my HK...

Just too beautiful and historic to remove!

traded my 4" Model 29 from the mid 80's.

I am a 357 guy, tried-and-true. But I like to shoot 44 here and there to "feel the power". My limit for sure. I have shot S&W500, but do not own one.

Show us more. Your 357 also please😍

Your 1959 M-29 is a true beauty. The finish of early M-27 and M-29 (polish and bluing) is really outstanding. I also own a good collection of M-29 mostly from early 1980´s through 90's in barrel lenghts from 3, 4, 5, 6, 6-1/2 and 8 3/8" both blued, nickel... 

Sounds like you have all the metals covered! The 28-2 you spotted is indeed a Highway Patrolman model. Definitely one of my favorite guns. As you know, the finish is sort of blackened. It is a great shooter. I will make a separate 357 post one of these da... 

The Model 28 is also a favorite of mine. It was my test gun for my .357 mag reloads. A great gun and a twin of the exceptional M27 except for the finish and other details of course. Look forward to your .357 M post!! Will try to get some pictures of my co... 

Btw…my mule doesn’t like people laughin…see he gets the crazy idea you are laughin at him…😂

. . . this was coming. ...  

. . . with the shootout from Shane . . . . . . in my book. ;-)

We started 1883 but got sidetracked, and then it dropped from our streaming service. Still need to finish it!! Are you a fan?

1923 & Yellowstone are awesome. If I may share some of my other fav😀 Magnificent 7 3-10 to yuma Unforgiven Shane True grit The dollar trilogy

Looking forward to the big 2 0 0 0 0! Cheers Peter

Been here a while!! Thanks, Peter.

Always entertaining yet wise

Keep up your amazing work for this great forum 🙏🏻🤗

Thank you.

Congratulations Michael ! I always enjoy your posts and opinions on all things AP. Without you this place just wouldn’t be the same. Best regards Captain

Happy to be a part of this amazing Community.

Appreciate you, and everyone here.

. . . on July 10th. A VIP ticket just became available. Dinner at The Rainbow afterwards, of course.

Thank you for all these years of pure passion for this hobby and a wonderful friend of the community. Honored to be in your company. Thank you Bill

I can only offer my continual thanks for having this awesome arena for our Community. That is all you my Friend!

Forever thank you and admiration

A Community where we are all equals. Such a special place!!

After a few blinks?

Could be a topic for another thread. Maybe Nico's MR has the all time site record?!?

When I'm writing my articles, I'm usually not wearing a watch! As I don't usually wear a watch when I type on the keyboard at home.

PS sorry to ready your Minute Rattrapante went back. I'll be curious as to the issue, I guess with the reset function based on an older post. I have every confidence Parmigiani will handle it efficiently and correctly!

Always enjoy the posts and get some new ideas. To many more!

Watches, pictures, stories, help & support! It’s been an honor to share a small part of the journey with you 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻 Here the closest to a shared watch 😊 ...  

Maybe I can join you here, one day.

I mean Mike!

I always enjoy reading you. I´m very happy to call you are a true friend. You do a great job as a moderator here so keep them coming

I will always fondly recall the Rolex project we collaborated on

Always a pleasure to talk watches and guns with you as we share both interests as you know. I send you my best cordial regards, Abel

I suspect beyond guns and watches, we would discover others too. Your kind words mean much to me, thanks my Friend!

… common interests dear Michael! I’m happy to send you my greetings on your 19 K milestone . With my cordial regards. Abel
