Friday WristScan- The watch I want to be known by
For many reasons, this is a very special watch. It was my first major purchase to celebrate the news that I was going to be a new dad. Also the gentleman from whom I purchased the EOT, introduced me to the PuristS...and this introduction has led me to where I am today. I remain very thankful.
Nine years later, the watch is still beautiful but how quickly time has passed. Time is indeed too precious to be measured on
a cheap watch.
Looking forward to seeing what watch you want to be remembered by.

Surprising opening :)
Sacrifices...
The Paillonnee I purchased right before his birth...but the EOT started it all.
Then when I had mad daughter, I reserved the Paillonnee for her.
But then circumstances changed, I had to sell the Paillonnee :-(
Thank you...especially for your postings while J*D was open. I will always remember that.
Best, Mike

You just have to have faith that there are better things behind door #2
In my case I had to pay for medical bills...not for one but two (my "surprise" twins)
Well worth the trade imho.
As for J*D, I wish the best for the brand. Still very interesting stuff, but not the way I wished they would have gone.

One hair
Absolutely...
A lot of it was lost after he departed. I have no doubt that he was tired and mentally drained after running the brand.
Glad to see him at the helm of RJ, where he has brought new life...to the point where now the designs resonnate and I may consider purchasing one in the future.
Right on point D
Best, Mike
Great choice, Mike...!
Yes, time passes quickly...
You blink and it is nine years later!

Thanks Blomman,
I was cleaning out the attic and found photos of myself in College...
In hindsight I cannot believe that was 25 years ago.
If only some of our watches could talk...I bet they would tell some interesting stories.
Best, Mike
Here in the forum I am probably known by one of these...
Either 65....
Or 68 (67 
)...
But maybe I would prefer to to be known by one of these....
What do you think would be the best fit for me...?

Damn you! A pair of Geophysics! That is not very comon! [nt]
There is at least one more Musketeer here in the forum to have the pair...! ;) [nt]
These are definitely you Blomman or should I say....
BlomoVlad? The Geophysic in white metal is better, the minutes hand on the yellow gold looks strange... on the picture! The Polaris 65 is gorgeous too. Perhaps in the future you be known for your GPs

Yes, the minute hand...
On the RG has been replaced. Need to find a good one.
Thank you, my friend!
Yes, who knows a couple of years from now people may know me by by some GP's...!

BlomoVlad
DSA... Yes, that crossed...
My mind...!
But the choice between these pairs are already hard...
Let's not make it more complicated, my friend!
