Horological Meandering

Interesting story

 

Looking through the shop window, and the shop owner fell the pasion and hope you could buy the watch someday.

When i was looking at watches far beyond my reach, i hoping i could buy that watches someday.
I could, but my brains were counting if it was necessary to wear an expensive watch, because there are affordable watches which are well build and accurate too.
What happen, i don’t buy that watches.
Years flow and my taste and knowledge changes.
These days i am more interested in how movements build then a Brandname on a dial.

Your collection, i like the Explorer. White dial and the GMT function is wat i like.
My favorite watch is an Omega Seamaster 300 diver from the later years. The change of the date window to 6 o’clock is a very good decision from Omega. It sits there were i like it the most.
And there are no mistakes made, it is wat the English people say, it ticks all the boxes.

Five "sports" watches

From my small collection, evidently representing very different designs (sizes), time eras and purposes. The speedmaster was my first- bought when I was 17 years old after saving up money selling various yard-sale watch finds on auction, and with a genero...

...I did not expect to be a Rolex guy, but entirely agree that it checks all the boxes

There a some i like. I like the 116610LV Submariner Hulk. The Explorer II with a white dial. Last but not least, a Millgaus GV.

Thank you Nico

...these are two favourites, among others, that we share!

Your brief "recit" a moving tale! Perhaps my favorite aspect of our site. Many thanks for sharing these dear memories.

For me, the watch that stands out is, without question, the Reverso. However, the Pasha is what interests me most—different, fun (and beautiful)! I was not aware that such a sports model existed. (Here's an interesting "Pasha" clone—obviously not your div...  

Uh, that is a very nice F-L!

An underrated brand in my opinion. Bought an on old 60s model for my partner a few years back that she still wears on occassion. Thank you for the kind words - and happy to oblige regarding the Pasha - one of the more less known Gerald Genta designs. ...  

Thanks so much for these pics! I love the way this watch looks with a flannel shirt (which I would not have guessed)! Now, having reviewed a great many Pasha

models on the Internet I find you've chosen the one I would have, myself. The Romans make all the difference! Have a relaxing Sunday. Best regards, Fred

I agree!

I carefully considered the different options. This is is not the dial Genta originally designed for this model, but nothing says Cartier like Roman numerals and the dial is engine-turned, which makes it really interesting to explore up front. Check out th... 

My favorite would have to be the Reverso

And fortunately you have the best version with those awesome syringe hands💉

A wonderful narrative, and a beautifully diverse and balanced collection - congratulations!

I couldn't possibly pick a "favorite" from this lineup, and even if I am partial to the Reverso from a design standpoint, that enamel dial Santos is something I've never seen before, and very special. Any photos of that dial closer in? I'd be really curio... 

Thank you!

It is not a perfect specimen - dial has a small crack in the left hand corner and some light discoloration, but the enamel never fails to impress. My camera is not the best but here is an attempt to do a close-up ...
