SH or SCH?
Actually I'm coming from the good old days, so fakes are no issue for me. I guess one day I'll write a short-story book about what really happend in the watch market, including the confidential stuff I got by accident from JLC. Muahaha.
Take your AM 6b/159 for example guess where it comes from... Found on Ebay, sitting there for ages, bought it, lost interest due to wrong hour hand e voila, its with you via a DC fellow. It is a small world indeed. 
Some Artcurial results are rediculous as for other brands Antiquorum or Sothebys results are. On the other hand for some very limited stuff it sets an idea, since the stuff is so rare you won't find any compareable pricing.
Sometimes, my dear friend, it is a gamble to buy a watch blind. No risk no fun!
Cheers,
Ilja
Small is beautiful.
This is the watch I will wear for the two or three next days. I just took it from the safe, and while playing with it at the bank, I was wondering why I didn't wear it more often. 32 mm is not that small! I love, deeply love the patina of the dial. Noot i...
Nice, yes Nicolas but I find it a little small, you and I have....
very similar wrist size, I cannot see my wrist wearing anything smaller than 36mm! But that's just me. What is the purpose of the crown at 4 O'clock? Interesting watch indeed! Cheers and wear this "small is beautiful" in good health:) Francois
The crown at 4 is here to lock the bezel, my friend.
It is a matter of time before you fall for small watches, my friend... I will let you play with them... Best, Vlad.
Hahaha! We'll see, I remember the VC Hermes we saw....
at Antonio, beautiful, really beautiful but too small for my wrist, at least that was my feeling back then. To lock the bezel? Interesting. Cheers my amigao:):) Francois
Yes, it is a Weems.
As for small watches, let me contaminate you... As a good Vlad I am. ;)
A Weems! I thought it was for Hermes! Anyhow probably....
too much Panadeine Forte in my system back then:):):) A+ Vlad/Drac Francois
You need a correct winding crown ;)
Oh and the locking stuff also popped up: Drop me line my friend. Ilja ...
Well, I'll try, although.. Two things to say..
An interesting idea : what is big, what is small ? Is it really only the absolute diameter - naahh, there is likeley more to that and I'll try to explain my point, maybe a bit naive, but I guess you will quickly realize what is meant.. 1/ the limitation i...
Thx for your kind words.. Here are some of my smaller pieces..
Our beloved 159 with plays of light and patina 159 on my wife's wrist .. Just the right size (34 mm) Omega 1947, two- tone bumper auto.. Small but wears larger Omega 2-tone on the wrist .. Sorry poor quality shot Omega one more time, 34 mm appearing s...
The Omega is such a lovely watch! I love it!
Well, you know my love for the 2 others. Happy to see R wearing this 159 with so much pleasure. So, it is not your watch anymore, I guess. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yes, the 159 is now completely with R.. She just loves it .. ;)
She very much enjoys wearing her - that's when I can enjoy the 159 as well. So no more mine, but that's fine.. ;) Indeed, the little 2- tome Omega bumper, yi gave some time, snd I started to wear it with invresing pleasure . A little treasure :) Thx for y...
Weell, my friend.. There is one with 4 letters, starting with SH..
Guess I have to talk again to Dr Mamadu.. But a "regular" 159 would be nice as well, if the other is unreachable You are a mind reader, I always knew, So again: a bit of patience for the patient.. ;) Best, hs
OMG ... OMG-2... What an always nice sight ! ;)
Makes me somewhat.. Ahemm .. Rambling, trembling.. Think I 'll need a doctor ! ;) Best, hs
Yep.. Thought reading.. Mind blowing.. Treasures' finding.. ;)
All special disciplines of this specific faculty.. Or is it the special baobab ? Hmmm.. Magic sometimes ;) Best, hs PS: BTW, did you in fact know that baobab actually is a special African tree, which has branches like the fingers of a hand .. Or is it arm...
Do you want small or...
Do you want small? Smaller? Or really small?! ;) :) Best, my friend Blomman ...
A Mexican distant tiny Longines Weems cousin
Hi Amanico., really really beautiful your Le Coultre Weems . let me show you a 32 mm Longines distant cousin , recently acquired !!. In a very good condition , but unfortunately the steel mole is missing!! Congratulations from Mexico City Kingmatic ...
OOps , sorry I said mole instead of muela (tooth)
By the way mole in Mexico is the name of a exquisite blend of chile and indigenous species used in traditional Mexican dishes . Yummy
Hola mi amigo King!!...
... So nice to find you here too!! Well, you got another beauty, which confirms me that you are a true "guardador"!! Awesome timepiece my dear friend!! No matter its size here!! Un abrazo de Abel.
How are you Abel!!
Thanks for your kindness! No , I´m not a "guardador" is just only I have not time to show all these beauties. See you and later King
I tried some little things but HS sorry
My Vacheron 4073 at an oversize 34mm , a "pimp my ride" version of JLC :D (thanks again Dje , I wear it so often, to day again) My darling Holy Grail Chronometre Royal pinkg gold with guilloche dial , kind of super tuned up Géophysique :D And not mine b...
Me! :)
The Vacheron are related to JLC, somewhat. Especially your Chronometre Royal, my friend. Not that OT... As for the Patek Chronos, I forgive you, especially with bthe SS one. Best, nicolas
I have a certain weakness for Beauty, whatever is the signature on the dial. ;)
You are forgiven, my son. :) Best, Nicolas
OK, one more time.. Small but quite nice - and big enough, IMO
'> Double Date Calendar (30mm).. New arrival A strong presence, somehow DD Calendar (1955) sends greetings :) ...
LOL! Please tell me that ...
Normally it is your wife wearing this one! ;) It is a strong cool watch - just wish it was a gents watch... And maybe 38mm! Here is mine saying hello. Notice the differance on the dial... Best, my friend Blomman ...
Wow, my dear Viking ! .. What shall One say ? ..
I am always amazed how deep your pockets are ; with you ( and Nico) it appears always more the questions, Which one you have NOT got, rather than which one there is ! ;) Chapeau to both of you ! Always best, hs
You could not have said it better, indeed .. Completely d'accord , my friend ! :)
Or: We indeed would Not disagree, that we all agree .. -( crazy twist of words); Best, hs This message has been edited by hs111 on 2013-05-23 11:17:39
Maybe these phrases get too complicated for my poor head.. BUT..
I simply ADORE this piece ! Yesssss, Best, hs PS: Thx for putting my pleasure - stricken head straight, M Le Docteur !
Don't tell me you are after one, too!!!
Dr Mamadu has to increase his powers... ;) Best, Nicolas
Weelll, this is a long story.. Lives someplace back in my head, BUT..
First is 3161 Parking, Two is SH.. ( or vice versa) - and then, indeed... Hmmm... This mind- reading of Dr Mamadu gets spooky ;) Best, hs
I thought I didn't like the reverso...
This kind of photo could break my principles :D Marvellous piece ;)
Principles are made to be broken, My Son. ;)
Trying one is adopting it. Best, Nicolas
Simple, but how appealing. I love it a lot, too.
That is the good thing, with the Vintage JLCs. you don't have to sell an arm to get a lot of pleasure. Best, Nicolas
Same than in the Geophysic. The problem is that JLC will not deliver
A certificate for this watch. I already asked... Too bad! Best, Nicolas.
honestly....
Will JLC give a statement for the caliber 463?! No they won't - but already did in the past. ;) Did they tell what happend to the P478bwSbr found in plated 37mm cases like the one Dowling bought off me? No! It is a legit product and the Artcurial auction ...
The Artcurial auction is a proof? See Clavi's thoughts on that auction, and on some
Watches which were auctionned there, as well as my observations... This evidence is very relative. Nonetheless, which disturbed the JLC Heritage Gallery was to see a movement from the late 50ies in a case from the mid 60ies. But I have the feeling and the...
To set it straight
The particular MN SCH auctioned at Artcurial gives proof it is a legit product, see your very own coverage of the watch. One could say it is all fake, paperwork included, but than, my very own watch comes into play, I have it in my procession for round ab...
We totally agree on the results of the Artcurial auction.
Which are not representative. I also agree on the fact that it would be a curious coincidence if the watch in question was not correct, unless we are in the case of these pseudo " Type XX " CMT Chronos coming from Germany. There are more than once, and we...
SH or SCH?
Actually I'm coming from the good old days, so fakes are no issue for me. I guess one day I'll write a short-story book about what really happend in the watch market, including the confidential stuff I got by accident from JLC. Muahaha. Take your AM 6b/15...
