Lovely up close, signs of history and all! I missed the "reverse" two-tone in the group photo - makes it even more interesting. Thanks for sharing! [nt]

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...
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 nece...
Thank you Weems

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.
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...

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 handsđź’‰
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 ...
