Thanks, I was aware of that. But, honestly ...
... I would designate this more as a workaround, and not a true quickset mechanism. In my opinion, this is a very outdated way to set the date, used in the forties and fifties, rather than today, with all the technical possibilities (not to forget the watch manufacturers' income) of today.
Best regards,
Marcus
Wrist scan day - Show us your wristwear - Everyone
For me it is the JLC AMVOX I Sweet brown face. JLC AMVOX...
Shiney and square......
I still just love the way it looks so different..!!! Andy. (using a milk carton studio - wish I had cleaned the face now...!!!)...
Hey Andy I have never see a wrist like that before
What is the secret oif your diet. Nice all year round tan. LOL HAGWE.
Guilty as charged......
but I can't have an entire collection of JLC....already have the reverso, want an Atmos, and an alarm piece would be nice...AMVOX maybe..??!! ;o) Andy.
Andy, i've got an...
Andy, i've got an Atmos and it is by far the best clock i've ever owned. it just sits and silently keeps perfect time. Graham
Grey Karree perpetual calendar for me . . .
. . . the perfect flying-under-the-radar watch for work and play . . . . . . click on the photo for the enlarged version. Cordially, Art...
2 for me today as a new one arrived this morning.
the main wearer, which i've actually worn continually for about 3 weeks. this is an archive pic as its now got a red strap on it. and my xmas pressie which i just HAD to check over when it arrived this morning...
A Dirk special...
I was beginning to think we were never going to get around to a wrist scan! It's a longtime-coming-recent-addition and I'm loving it....
Now THAT is a dial!!....
...congratulations Carl on the foresight to specify it. Whilst the subdial of the 99.0 etc is 'anatomically correct' as an homage to the marine chronometers of yore, your dial in a Dorn was just begging to be manufactured! Cheers, pplater.
Geo - what is the function of the star wheel?
I cannot quite work it out... Many thanks, Carl
Carl there is a
beautiful article about the Starwheel written by ThomasM. That's a much better explanation than mine. Geo www.thepurists.com
Never see the real piece of this Star Wheel before
but I'm sure it is as stunning as shown in your scan. By the way, what strap is this? Cheers
It us under the JLC post. THx geo
The amvox post is the top level thread and the response all fall under it. Should have maybe separated the title thread> There is just soo much admiration going on here. It is pretty coincidental that I was just admiring your watch when you were in the pr...
the brand that dare not speak its name >>>
(Yes, the date function works; I took this shot a couple of weeks ago.)...
Very simple and elegant R...X! >>
LOL Good one! The stunning thing is that I also own the same 116200; but with the bicolor silver/black dial... Lovely watch. Nicolas
I like that Amvox, still thinking about purchasing one ...
... what puts me off, however, is the lack of a date quick setting. Regards, Marcus
Very easy to do the date quick set here is how.
You just move the hour hand back and forth between 10 and 2 and you can quickly reset the date. You don't have to do the usual wind of the minute hand round and round.
Quick and flashy planets ...
It is apparent that I wear this watch frequently. However, the flashlight enhances the scratches and abrasions a bit too much. Regards, Marcus...
Here is a better pic ...
Hi Carl, these are not scratches in the crystal, and I have been asked more than once if the crystal is broken: These golden lines are marking sectors of 30 degrees each, that are help locating the planets in the sky. The distances of inner planets, from ...
Marcus, i love the concept of the trilogy, but i cant understand
how to read anything other than the time. thats why i'm trying to get the book on the trilogy as nothing anywhere explains the workings well enough for me to understand it. perhaps i'm just thick, but a perp without the day/date/month and year doesnt make...
This is not difficult ...
... once you get used to it. I think, though, that the Trilogy book is still available from Ulysse Nardin. Have you inquired there? Regards, Marcus
Marcus, this is not anymore a Friday wear, BUT >>>
My Dream List! LOLOL This one is in my dreams... Maybe one day... Nicolas
Wish it could be true!
Really in love with these Astronomical watches from U.N This one is my very favourite one... The Astrolabium.... WOOOOOWOWOW!...
Hey, Bill, just came back from work, and preparing my weapon! LOLOL
Wish Santa Claus will bring me this one...Yes I Believe in Him! But my reality is so nice......
Nicholas, what model is the top one. looks like a skeleton
8 day perpetual, but cant find it on their website. its a stunning piece. no flowery decor, just the mechanics in action. 2nd one is also great, but top one gets 10/10. Graham
Correct! >>>
This is the 8 days PC JLC, skeleton dial and case Back... A LE of 100 pieces only. A fantastic piece, Graham!
only 100 pieces. no wonder...
only 100 pieces. no wonder there isnt one on ebay :) when your bored and fancy a change let me know please Nick cheers Graham
I see we have the same tastes in watches >>>
Graham! The Freak, now we share the love of this JLC Skeleton PC, Wowow... Only Freaaakie pieces, isn't it? LOL
I can't get it all in one wrist shot...
but I believe it's all worth seeing. The "Pinky" started out as a tie-tac 50 years ago. Best, Miki...
Miki - Is there a story behind the tie-tac?
Or the clue stone collection? Curiously, Carl
Sorry I'm late guys. AP Team Alinghi carbon for me
AP Team Alinghi carbon for me Cheers, Anthony...
So it is not necessary to dive to the Titanic to make a watch appear rotten ...
... Really, in your picture, the watch looks like it has been bleached by sun exposure for decades. But this is nice. Best regards, Marcus
the Carree today...
Hi guys, Here are some new photos of my Carree hope you enjoy them. Best regards, Dino944...
Just just keep rubbin' it in.
Keep it up and you'll get the "Big Ring Thing" again. Best, Miki
Very Nice. I was wondering where I saw the movement before
From my Reverso GT sized Sun/Moon, which is also the watch I am wearing. Of course VC must have finished the movement much better than this one...
