Horological Meandering

So it seems I have very similar taste in watches--at least in displays--to our esteemed gmhutton.  Soon after he got his Seiko Burger, I got one.  Soon after he got his Azimuth Spaceship watch, I got one.  And when I read recently of his acquisition of the Carlo Ferrara Dancing Regulator, I knew I had to have one too.  Now I do.

In keeping with my preference for all bracelets, all the time, I got an older Sport model, on a stainless steel bracelet, with all Arabic numerals and an eggshell (CF calls it "sand") dial.  It even has great green lume on the tips of the hands, though I have yet to become comfortable with telling the time from being able to see only the hand tips.

Attached are some pictures, courtesy of the seller.  In my continuing quest, thank you Graham, for interesting displays, I now wish I could afford one of the newer Urwerks!

Graham has a wonderful collection, and I always appreciate when he shares his watches with unique time displays.  Seems you have similar tastes in eccentric displays -- that's awesome!

Enjoy your new watch!

Cheers,
Daos

LOL!

i'm very flattered to be an influence in someones collection and a good collection it looks to be.

just wait for the Azimuth BIT's due in September. they are something very special to behold.

so mr Enthusiast, all you need now is a single hander whether its a 12 or 24 hour, some double retrogrades etc.

the only other thing i can say is, that side of my collection is only fun and unlikely to reap any financial rewards if you get bored and want to sell. financial reward is not something we should concern ourselves with, but it does have a bearing on our next purchase. always make sure there are some rock solid vintage pieces in there as well.

Is not really themed. In addition to the Burger (on PVD mesh), the CF and the Azimuth (on blue leather--my only non-bracelet watch), I have a UN GMT+/- Perpetual in the LE rose gold (on a rose gold bracelet) with silver dial, an IWC Portofino Perpetual (old) in yellow gold on bracelet, a Blancpain Reveil in titanium on titanium bracelet, a skeletonized Bulova Accutron Automatic in a square case, an old Omega Seamaster from my father, a Citizen Astrodea, a Citizen Eco-Drive minute repeater perptual, and a circa 1900 Zenith Grande Sonnerie pocket watch. I admire your collection, as you can tell, and look forward to increasing mine. Best,

and feel very honoured to be among your friends!

You see?

Things are improving, Graham.

Best,

Nicolas

Hi Graham,

How did you go with the Gold Fish contest... did you get a name?

kindest regards,

Jack

Hi Graham,

Bubbles is a nice name... Any old Australian Purists.... I don't think there are too many though... but if they are they might remember the Rodeo Shows that travelled the country each year in the 1950s and 60s... and there was this adult tent that had a big name called ' Bubbles" out the front.

Kids were not allowed in and it was said that a beautiful girl had a shower and bath inside the tent.... I wonder if Andrew was lifting up the flaps

Seriously... a good name for a pet fish.

Kindest regards,
Jack ... the real one.

And I am not saying which tent flaps I peeked under.

A

Please !!!!

This CF is really an amazing watch. But it seem that the case back/rotor resemble an ETA movement. So what is the base movement of thiswatch if it is not a "in-house" CF movement?
