Thank you for the story to go with the watches! Best Blomman

crazy about his new found hobby in micro brewing beer of all sorts for his friends. He was kind enuff to smuggle about 10 bottles of Golden Ale, home brewed across the border of SG to where I am, now fermenting further in my study. Give it another 5 days ... 

Omega's and a very nice Sinn with slide rule bezel remeniscent of an early navitimer. very nice friends to have. best G

. . . Glashütte Original Karree perpetual . . ....  

Funny, it is not the first watch which comes to my mind when I think PC, but it is not the less appealing one! I love it. Best, Nicolas

. . . for nine years, to the month. It's as captivating to my eyes today as it was then. Nothing like old friends, eh, Nicolas?

... Art, did you monitor your PC at leap year time? was it instantly jumping or gradually sweeping from 29 Feb to 1 Mar? stefan

. . . to switch over on February 28th or 29th, Stefan. My recollection is the transition starts at ~ 7:00 PM on the 28th during a 365 day year, and this year, the transition started right after 8:00 PM. Here's a link to the photo arcade on our G O forum: ... 

... so far only seeing Chopard Lunar One is the only one that can have instantly jumping from 29 Feb to 1 Mar. stefan

It is enough to carry a GO once you are stuck. Unfortunately, bad for the wallet, at least mine. Especially when you want more Hagwe Anders

Art, Do you keep this beauty running (winder, etc) or you only set when you plan to wear? Thanks, Nilo

. . . they were all on winders, ready for wear at a moment's notice. The Karree that's pictured in this thread was running continuously for over three years, and then, it "froze", and had to be sent in for service. Shortly after it returned from Glash... 

that marks the months. Definitely a friend for life, Art.

. . . keepers, J, but oddly enough, they get far less wrist time now than when initially acquired. So many vintages, and now the Zenith EP, have been added to the collection that I rarely get a chance to give them a good workout.

I understand your strong love for this one - especially this week! Best Blomman

despite the uncommon shape of the case the dial is very well balanced. it looks like it has good body and a great soul inside. i'd love to try it one day to see how it wears on my wrist. best G

. . . indeed . . ....  

not anymore they're not Art...  

. . . I wasn't aware . . .

oh yes big time. there was a time when they wouldnt speak to each other and on their reunion concert several years ago they were only just on speaking term. i've seen some video footage of the gig and it was very obvious. G

Is that enough? To be on the safe side so I package it in some soft material. It is recently returned after service in Glashütte due to magnetism HAGWE...  

. . . represented this week, and a black one, too . . . thanks, Anders! Gratefully, Art

If you... Then you should have one of these... Best Blomman...  

Nice article you found. Too bad I did not know about it before, then I might have bought an IWC. instead of GO. I'm just kidding Have a nice weekend Anders

And the companion behind it has been with my wife the same length of time. HAGWE! CaliforniaJed...  

... timepieces! Thanks for sharing your Rolex! Have a nice week end! Very cordially, Abel.

to have the love of a wife for so long and hopefully undiminished plus 2 great watches that you can wear together. if i had still been married to my first wife it would have been 25 years last month, but whoever controls our destiny had other plans for me... 

I do feel blessed to have love in my life, and a roof over my head, and to know and share with friends like you the world over. By the way, we've not been married as long as we've had the watches (though we have known each other as long)! We acquired them... 

That is great to hear! Did you get the pair at the same time? Best Blomman

Coincidentally we each received our watch as a high school graduation gift long before we were married. We graduated from high school the same year. I wore mine for at least four years straight hardly ever taking it off, playing intramural sports in it, s... 

Soulmates! Best Blomman

Which is exactly why I should have a JLC to match hers, don't you think? ;-)

Also for me Blomman: Matt...

Have you consider it? Regards Tyler

I'd be happy to consider having another insert, bezel, pearl option, but this is neither easy nor cheap on a 6538! if you know a source send me a PM. Matt

As always great pictures Matt.

Very lovely even with it oddness. Regards Tyler...

. . . "the odds are good, but the goods are odd", eh, Tyler?

Soon the losing odd will bring greater good Regards Tyler

There's nothing odd about that! That dial, that movement, that watch are beauty, nothing less. Thanks for sharing it. Best, CaliforniaJed

it looks to me to be a lovely well laid out chronometer certified dress watch. perhaps the date is not needed, but i would be very happy to own such a piece. best G

Check the chorpard or home forum. You'll see. Regards Tyler

Time for a SPA...? Best Blomman

spur of the moment thing Nicolas. Lousy photo I know with the phone but felt the colours matching like you said. Best my friend Fernando

i have a plan, that when i return from the April GTG i wont buy cheap 64 watches, but attempt to save to buy high quality 64 pieces and a GMT is high on my list along with a couple of Breitlings, a Navitimer and a Cosmonaute. if you are coming in April pl... 

disappointed with one of these Graham. They are IMO under appreciated and if you are lucky, you'll be able tp pick one up for not much more than a SS model. The 'bronze' dial is exquisite and IMO very chic and not like your typical Rolex. Hope you get luc... 

Bravo à Jean Dujardin ... HAGWE Best Patrice...

"Old" in many respects; friend certainly: Cheers, pplater....  

I never seen this one of yours. You should show more. Regards Tyler

May I ask what size and year it's from? Best Blomman

...and a keen eye, Blomman. This is the so-called 'Kleine Portugieser' (Ref 3531-02) from 1996, in 35mm diameter. The bit that you will like is that the movement in the early pieces was a modified JLC Cal 891/2. HAGW! Cheers, pplater.

I thought it was the Jubilee edition from 1993. Nice watch regardless. Regards Tyler

bigger!Thank you for the info, PP! Best Blomman

Friday is always my non-Rolly day. But now I have discovered wristscan, in future i may have to break that rule!!

now you have discovered wristscan Friday. A lovely VC, a beater I assume instead of the vintage

Awesome retrograd, Baron! Best, my friend Blomman

An old friend just back from it's physical. Delicious....  

Go and have an eye to our Breitling Roll Call, my friend... I think you have some ammonitions to use! Best, Nicolas

For sure I will add to the Breitling roll call - although probably not until Monday. BTW - looks like I will be able to attend Paris

Absolutely one of my favorites, specially Conquest, but divers are quite ok. Hagwe Anders

and still a good vintage catch IMHO. I'd like to add one to my Longines group sometime.

didn't know you had that one, looks beautiful! Matt

about her. Hopefully see you in Paris soon, my friend.

... Definitively on of the most classic divers! Enjoy Ubik! Regards, Abel.

I lusted after this watch many years ago. Since I was first shown one. It was good fortune that sent this one my way. It has such beautiful wrist presence.

What a exquisite patina. Regards Tyler

I suspect that there are quite a few gems in your treasure chest we have yet to see.

With just one of your onion (pun intended) would bring tears to my eyes for many years to come. I mean happy tears. Regards Tyler

This one you didn't show me! Super watch! Best, my friend Blomman

I think there's a few you haven't shown me.
