WristScan

More attitude than altitude. Great story and catch. Looking forward to the next chapter. Bill

Just got from my watchmaker my latest "project" watch. There is something written in French (red letters) on the dial. The poor watch was on a real bad shape but I decided to make a bet. I plan to do a post showing what a bad watchmaker can do and how a g...

A gorgeous beast. I will post a series of topics on the Polaris, in July. After all, this is also a holiday watch! Ciao, my friend. Nicolas.

...(to the point of still being under service warranty) and, Art, by serendipitous coincidence an old Omega also - a 30 T2 SC RG from 1946: [IMG]http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa56/pplater/Vintage/Omegod.jpg[/IMG] Again, thanks to the fellow Purist wh...  

on that watch. GEO

Yet another example of an itch started by SteveG needing to be scratched. Great Cartier, by the way. Are there any you don't have hidden away? Cheers, pplater.

Kind regards, from.....near. Cheers, Francois

...of course all credit is to Omega. Enjoy your weekend in our secret paradise. Cheers, pplater.

And to say all, in my list, in stainless steel. If I ever find it. Omega at its best, for me. HAGWE, Nicolas

It would be quicker to say what is NOT on your list! You are a man of deeply French appetites.... :-) Cheers, pplater.

... so difficult to find an example down here! I´m glad you discovered such a nice example, and keep crossing my fingers, waiting to find a similar one for myself! Enjoy yours, and have a great week end! Very cordially, Abel.

...and good luck in the hunt. It is a joy to own. Cheers, pplater.

I was looking for one of these.

His pictures of this watch (and its homage piece) are mouth-wateringly good. Cheers, pplater.

Well, from the 35th Floor ... The view is Melbourne, facing north. Andrew ...  

All perfect. Didn't know that Melbourne is "the world's most livable city". Shame on me that went to Australia several times, Sydney, and never went to Melbourne. Cheers, Nilo

... or perhaps I should call it war ... ... between Melbourne and Sydney. I lived in Sydney for 11 years, but have been back in Melbourne for the last 10. Both cities have their charms, and Sydney Harbour is a beautiful backdrop, but I far prefer Melbourn... 

Your Journe and your shirt. Beautiful view over Melbourne GEO

and a great ensemble ... the high life indeed! Have a good weekend, Best Andreas

That's what I also found concerning my Speed Mark IV. You're watch seems to come directly from when it was manufactured! Today, for me, it is: Have a sunny we all ! Best, Mark ...  

Stuck on your wrist? ;) Best, my friend, and enjoy! Nicolas

and it doesn't get better as time goes by ! Cheers, Mark

Keep posting that Nautilus!

Thanks Jporos, I think it will remain my wristscan choice for a while :p Cheers, Mark

Very nice GMT\'s with an interesting dial. Bill

I really love these honeycomb dials. Will have to make the plunge one day. Un Abrazo, Nicolas

... I love honeycomb dials, though sometimes they gave me a BIG headache! Lol ! But surely they deserve to take the plunge! Have a great week end my friend!

. . . similar movements, and identical treatment of rose gold hands, markers, and date frame. Congrats, Abel!

... Several similar features, which give them that special charm to them. I wish you will keep enjoying it! Have a nice week end my friend! Kind regards, Abel.

May I wish you a good weekend :) Regards Tony

sorry to bore you all again.... HAGWE everybody :) Andy. ...  

A piece that is still on my 'wanted' list. :)

've had it just over a year and I still have the same smile everytime I get her out....something very special with this one and I'm lucky to have one :) Thanks for your comments, Andy.

Surprisingly (for Germany in Summer) grey skies here too, fit the grey dial [IMG]http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/meyerlindenberg/WristshotJourneResonance7-6-2012.jpg[/IMG] HAGWE Andreas ...  

. . . aged quite nicely, I think. Entirely original, and running fine after her second service in five decades!

... have a great weekend everyone. Henrik ...  

Bully, our mascot here at Mississippi State, is pretty tenacious. Seems to like my Nomos. Art, I have two watches at the spa right now. I have been waiting to go to Jackson, MS to pick up one and the other has crown trouble. For the second time. Groan. HA...  

Not a great pic, though.... HAGWE! Ken ...  

... I recently confirmed with them that they made only 23 pieces..... Good luck, my friend :-) I like this dial and the view from the back very, very much.... Ken

I have several De Bethune in mind, so the hunt would be easier. Best, Ken. Nicolas

I don't name the name here, though... :-) Ken

Beautiful, as all of the DB oldies...

... wonderful white guilloche dial and blue hands, roman index.... Just beautiful... Ken

Congratulations! You have been chasing that for a while. Cheers, pplater.

Came back from the factory spa recently. Didn't know they made it in such a small number..... I am glad I scored it :-) You have a good memory! Ken

Best, -- Richard.

I am going with Tuti and waiting for some new pieces soon ;-) http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee278/RWK29/TutimaGrandClassicblack.jpg HAGWE! -- Richard. ...  

. . . is the previous owner stopped wearing it a long time ago, as it doesn't seem to have aged much at all.

. . . sorry, Richard, and thanks for catching my slip-up. Art ...  

Do you know when she was made? Best, -- Richard.

. . . from 1960, Richard . . .
