There are great wrist shots . . .
. . . and then there are shots of great wrists . . . a touch bittersweet, after Paul Newman's passing last week. Steve McQueen was the archetypical American hero, and we will never see his likes again . . . I never tire of "Bullitt", "The Getaway", and "Papillon" . . . cordially, Art
Friday Wrist shot!!
Hey it's gotta be Friday somewhere, right? I'll start it off this week since I just came home with something new. Imagine this: you are a longtime watch collector that has just accepted a job with your favorite brand. The catch is that t...
Steve, this is a lovely piece!
I should even say Lovely PIECES! The Diving GMT is a reliable daily beater, indeed. This is a watch I highly consider, not as a priority, as I still wait 3 more watches to come till the end of this year, but in my wish list. Your wrist shots give it justi...
Julian, yoyr WE will certainly be as elegant as your lovely Vintage!
Congrats, Julian... This is indeed a wonderful watch to wear, and not only for a Friday! Best! Nicolas
Big congrats Nicolas !!!
Great patina indeed, very happy for you my friends !!! Best regards Patrice
Thanks, Patrice!
YOU know how I wanted this one! Now, I just have to hunt the 2 last Transitionnal, and I'll be covered! LOL Best, my friend. Nicolas
Oooh Yes, Fernando
I'm completely mad about it... Just need to find 2 more transitional, which will not be too difficult: 16 800, and 16550 black dial... Best, my friend. Be ccareful with the Vintage rolexes, the virus is easy to catch...LOL Nicolas
Mint vintage Rolex . . . very nice, Nicolas . . .
. . . it looks as though it was well cared for. I'm sure Bill will be spending some quality time with it on his wrist soon . . . best regards, Art
Thanks, Caius
This Watch deserved a " Per l'Onore " Wrist shot, didn' it? LOL Best. Nicolas
WOW!
Congratulations, Nico! Indeed your watch is a real BEAST!!! Iron Maiden will envy it!!! LOL! Lovely patina, and great condition. That one is definitely a keeper! Have a great weekend, Alex...
I see you know your Classics! LOL
Indeed, Iron Maiden made a lot for this Special SD! Thanks my friend. To say all, I was searching in my Data Base the Cover of this album, but didn't find it, so I'm happy you did it for me! Best. Nicolas
My older brother is a metal head
And so, he has shared some of his tastes for music with me. I'm glad I could be of service with the album cover. Rock on, Nico! Alex
Alex/Nico, i remember seeing...
Alex/Nico, i remember seeing them live at an old church hall in Norwich Norfolk UK just after they had released their first album. i was 15 so it must have been 1979. those were my years of long hair, concerts and other things we dont mention :) happy tim...
You're bloody right, Graham
We were 15 years old, at this moment... Wow, we begin to be Vintage Guys! Nicolas
In 1979
I was yet to be born! I was born in Nov 1980. Luckily I have learned to acquire taste for the finer things in life...such as Iron Maiden, LOL! Thanks for sharing the memories. Alex
Congratulations my friend
Hi Nicolas, You have some hard core Patina!!! Wow. HAGWE Bill
I'm getting 'sick' !!!
and tiring to see all your nice watches. But you know me, I love to be hurt. HAGWE
So is this the watch you're wearing to the party . . .
. . . or is the Panerai still in contention? Cordially, Art
Wow, KS, looks like a Ref 812
Is it? I don't recognize the writings... This is one of the very last Diving Watch I'm hunting to close my Diving Thema... Wear it well, my friend! Best. Nicolas
That's a great pic, Caius!
you perfectly took in pic the patina of this White Explo II... And the pic is gorgeous. You convinced me that I now have to change the bezel on my 16570... This Explo II is so under rated, and I dint get it when I see your pics. Best. Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas!
I like the dial of this watch very much. My watchmaker accomplished a big job to return him his youth but the bezel was really tired. For information, Rolex "Rue de Rennes" took my watch Tuesday at night and it was ready wednesday. Best Doug
Caius, may you send me a PM
To give me the price of a new 16570 bezel? Think I gonna do it on mine...Since I saw yours...LOL Best. Nicolas
nice watches Steve. do MB&F have the same rules as sports sponsors?
like, 'you will wear one of our watches at all times in public'. if they want heavy use trials in inclement weather i cant think of a better place than Wales so feel free to send me a prototype to test it doesnt matter what you actually do in the company,...
Seiko Burger for me with new black mesh bracelet
the bracelet only arrived yesterday and at 20mm it will be multifunctional between a couple of watches if it looks alright. its not pvd and quite shiny so i think it suits the burger pretty well. like all my straps/bracelets its very cheap, but looks far ...
Why, that is the very mesh bracelet I got
for my Burger! Looks and feels great, though I thought you told me it would be too informal for the watch? Nonetheless, congrats on a great upgrade.
i thought someone else had...
i thought someone else had got a mesh for it. was yours cheap from hong kong of the bay? some of the best accessories come from the bay i think.
Friday what we are wearing
Sandra - Bathys Aquaculture Stephen - Bathys Benthic Everyone have a safe and wonderful weekend!...
I like the reflective pics you just took . . .
. . . that show the pearl effect on the dial . . . very nice. Thanks very much, Art
Having lunch with a few Purists friends today . . .
. . . both of whom are Omegaphiles, so obviously the Connie is the watch du jour . . . . . . shown here at two slightly different aspects to highlight the dial print and engraving respectively. Probably switching to the gold Senator perpetual over the wee...
Sorry not a wrist shot...
I have been wearing this Master Compressor for the day. Cheers, Al...
