Well, that story can be summed up in two words: Fed-Ex! . . . .
. . . . I asked for the package to be held at the local Fed-Ex office, but when I went there on Thursday there was no sign of it. I went off to work, took a four hour break to hang out with the local Purists down the coast, then went back to work for a few more hours; of course, the package was on my doorstep in full view when I returned home at 1:00 AM, with the "signature required" sticker clearly visible. I'm not sure what qualifications are required to obtain employment at Fed-Ex, but literacy isn't one of them. As for the strap, it's a custom design from Camille Fournet . . . they offer three shades of matte blue in lizard, and this is the lightest of the three. Cordially, Art
I can see it on my calendar it is friday. Wrist Shot time ...
First the calendar ... ... and the watch - if somebody is interested after the calendar ;-) I wish you all a great weekend! oliver...
Royal Oak squelette ...
Probably my favourite squelette watch. I hope you enjoy. Have a nice weekend. Best regards, Francesco...
Absolutely in love with this RO, Francesco! Wow!!!
More pics, plleaaaase! This is just my RO of my dreams! Best. Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas ...
These are not wrist shots, they were taken by a friend in New York. I am not a good photographer, on top of that it is a difficult watch to capture on camera. The photographer should be able to render the depth of the dial: the hands – I think they are ju...
Nice Rolex 5513 for the WE
Hi all Hope you enjoy. Checkout the crystal. Cool. Bill...
Awesome picture
Hi Marcelo, Beautiful back drop. Looks like the start to a good weekend. Love that JLC. Sweet. Bill
As Monty Python might say....
...."now for something completely different" (on this wrist anyway). Haven't yet decided whether the enamel dial adds a touch of class to an old standard or sails too close to pastiche. Cheers, pplater....
I'm totally obsessed by enamel dials, pplater
These last weeks were terrific, I dream of enamel! LOL Goona have to get one soon. Best. nicolas
No platinum option here Nicolas...
...guess you'll just have to 'make do' with the PP worldtimer! Cheers, pplater.
Or this one, even if it doesn't come with an enamel dial
Wasn't able to take it off my wrist since the beginnig of the week... Best. Nicolas...
Was the jacket sold together with the watch ?
they match perfectly ! Great watch and great suit my friend ! Cheers Jeff
LOL, Jeff...
Black and white grey like the Dato dial and counters, and blue shirt to match the hands... ROFLMAO... SOS PSYCHIATRY! Best. Nicolas
I know an address where they can help you Nicolas >>>
The address is: Altenbergerstrasse 15 in Glashütte, Germany. And you must ask for medicine labeled "404.035". Not sure if it will provide for a permanent cure but at least it gives a temporary relief from the condition you find yourself in currently. Hang...
I rather like the basic version in brushed steel . . .
. . . but this variation on a theme also has it's merits. The Stowa that I'm quite enamored of at the moment is a limited edition from a few years back that mimics the dial design of '50s Omega Constellations and comes equipped with a movement that origin...
Also a worthy piece...
(here for contrast) - ....but for this proliferation of classic marine dials in the modern era one suspects that Dirk Dornbluth also has a lot to answer for. Which is the LE Stowa that has your interest, Art? Cheers, pplater....
There was a limited edition Stowa a few years back . . .
. . . that just popped up recently on our Omega forum: omega.watchprosite.com It appeals to me on several levels, the most critical being the employment of a NOS Omega cal 286 movement. I'm a fan of Omega as well as Glashütte Original, particularly vintag...
looking good fernando.
you have to tell me how to take a good pic of the Cali as I always get troubles with the reflexion. Cheers
Wow, this is one of my fav Chrono, this VC! Congrats!
More pics??? Ehhh? LOL Best. Nicolas
Thanks Amanico, I am afraid the only pic I have
looks the SAME! LOL... Nevertheless, here's the other one....
Quiet Weekend - like this Watch
This is an old Gubelin 18K YG. Note the case design which is "pointed" at 3 and 9 o'clock positions. It houses a Piguet 99 calibre. Very quiet - looks like my weekend is going to be. Have a great Friday. Best Regards - PeterZ...
Laco? I like this one a bunch and a half ;-) . . .
. . . there's something indefinably right about a big basic watch with small seconds at 9:00 . . . cordially, Art
American steel . . .
. . . that I found on my doorstep at 1:00 AM last night (no kidding, details later) . . . . . . click on the photos for an enlarged view . . . cordially, Art...
WOOOO HOOOO Way to Go Art
Hi Art You have been waiting for that one for a while. We are going to need a full photo essay. Wear it in good health. HAGWE Bill
HELLO MR. MURPHY!
Art, that's one heck of a timepiece! More, more, more shots of the movement please. Don't make us wait!
Pics forthcoming . . .
. . . possibly Sunday . . . of course, there's always the option of seeing it in the metal next weekend when we have our local get-together ;-) . . . regards, Art
Love those blue shoes, too
I want to know where you buy your magic door mats, Art. The magic carpet in front of my door is apparently defective by comparison. Cool RGM. Wear it in the best of health. Looking forward to the story behind your 1 am discovery. Cheers, Dom.

Worth the wait....
Congratulations Art, that's a lovely watch, front and back. As was said by one noted commentator whose judgment in such matters is to be trusted: ". . . there's something indefinably right about a big basic watch with small seconds at 9:00". Parrotingly, ...
Finally landed--a classic....
Glad to see the new arrival. Awaiting the full review. The delivery exerience must be universal and not localized. Congratulations, Art! I think I may be visiting Lancaster at some point! tempusfugit
Congrats Art!! They finally caught a blue lizard...
Pics look great! Looking forward to seeing your write up on it.
Oliver, we are in April
Can you change your calendar, please? LMAO. Nice FF, by the way... Each time I see it, I shiver...Yhe FF, not the Caledar, although...LOL Best. Nicolas

...that I have already started wearing again in weekend's anticipation!...

thankyou BHK9, i've never heard it referred to as sexy before, but often elegant. it one of my all time favourite omegas. i did have 1-5, but have only kept 2,4 and 5. its a good wedding watch, elegant, but not brash, understated and classic. if you get w...
Hey, Pussy Galore
You have a very nice watch...LOL This is a Dream GMT Rolex, my friend! Take care of it! Best. Nicolas
Would Dr. No agree?
Had a new look at Pussy Galore’s photos at a know movie database just to reach the same old conclusion, IMHO: she is the most charming and sexiest of all Bond Girls!!! Marcelo
