ha ha, i have similar fortune coins too...

 
 By: FanFrancisco : January 21st, 2012-05:18

... when i was got married, my late father passed me these silver coins at day before my wedding.

Blomman, where did you get yours?

stefan







What's the origin and story behind these coins, Stefan?

 
 By: AndrewD : January 22nd, 2012-19:05

I see them appearing in many New Year pictures.

Obviously some sentimental value, which I love.

Andrew

Got my coins when visiting the Great Wall...! :) [nt]

You got in before we were even awake, Damjan!

And here's a restful nautical scene from down under (with a stacked theme for Nilo).

Hope all of you celebrating the New Year of the Dragon have a great weekend.

Taken at the St. Kilda Marina, Melbourne. Just a short stroll from the Stokehouse and Donovan's; lunch followed by photography. Polarizing filter, but no post processing. DLux4. The problem is that I look at the photo and wonder what it would be like through a 35mm Sumichron lens and the M9! I blame you guys for that. smile

Have a great New Year, my friend.

Andrew

Definitely wide angle lens perspective .

Great for scenic panoramic shots. No wonder no reflections with the polarising filter.

 By: G99 : January 19th, 2012-13:39

something we dont see every day, a Junghans Chronometer. 





a particularly nice clean dial, great chronometer handwind movement, company long service presentation piece from 1964 and of course, a very good price smile

static shot will be posted saturday as i'm meeting up with 2 crazy Belgian guys tomorrow.

Have a good weekend and happy chinese new year

 By: G99 : January 21st, 2012-09:20

Another 64?! Congrats!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 21st, 2012-05:39

Very nice – soon you should have one of each watch ever made in 1964?!

 By: G99 : January 21st, 2012-09:11

yep, another '64.
i have a long way to go yet Blomman, there are many many major brands i
dont yet have including IWC, PP and JLC. i have just aquired my first '64
Longines which is en route to me so thats one off the list.
 
this one was a lucky find.

thanks my friend, but please dont ask me such difficult questions

 
i'm going to do a SOTC for my 10k post i think by which time i'll have a
few more no doubt. i've got 2 still en route and 1 in the pipeline if the price
is right.
 
at a guess its about 35
