Summer fun.....
..... and what a great summer! A good-to-be-alive type of summer.
Up in the Swiss mountains for a few weeks, I had just a few watches for the period. Still managed to have a short GTG with Epilogue and GR in Montreux one evening. Hope you like the pictures...some of watches I have never posted before as they sit in a safebox much of the time...but once or twice a year they get to party.
A lot of love for all these watches, but have to say for versatility and all-round enjoyment, the 16660 takes some beating. I am a little jealous of the BlackOut too!

Aaaargh! Who is the lucky owner of the GMT Ceramic?
My God, Baron, what a series of watches! Good to see that there is some place for a modest, but not lacking of interest, latest GMT. And good to see the Blackout, a well deserved watch if I may say. Superb watches and very nice pictures. Seems that our fr...
GMT....you would need to see....
......Epilogue. Actually, I am responsible for the pictures....have been practising a lot. I could only get better
You learn fast! Ok; we need to meet Epilogue!
You won't believe me, I never try the new GMT in the flesh! Best, Nicolas
I liked it a lot...
.....the bezel has this ability to change colour and atmosphere....I really like it. I am waiting for the new releases next year to see if i get tempted by a modern, but if nothing comes next year, I will visit this GMT....very very nice watch. But i expe...
In my list, this GMT is in my list.
The bezel makes me think about the bakelite insert of the 6542, somehow. In terms of depth, this ceramic bezel is just amazing. And I do also appreciate the green writing, too. Yes, I am tempted. Best, Nicolas
Aaaah, the GMT2c...
...very versatile piece. I will upload some pictures for you as soon as I get back home where I have access to a respectable camera! Or even better, I will let you try it on if we meet someday! + The GMT2c is the first Rolex with green writing on the dial...
Well ,the first green accents were present on the Green Sub ( insert ).
But I think you're right about the specificty of the GMT II C. Will be a pleasure to meet you, one day. Have to go to London, and I hope to be able to do it before the end of this year. If you ever come to Paris... Let me know! Best, Nicolas
Wow!
What a heavy dose of SD and especially 666 today! Wonderful watches indeed! I also took my 666 on vacation to my native Austria, from mountains and lakes to downtown Vienna: never out of place!
Very nice set up
Looks like you travel light.......NOT. great to see you enjoy all those beauties. Summer love continues. Best Bill
Not the bloody 1665 again! :))))
Curse me .... .... this mk2 tropical is making me crazy. Another one !!!! Better for me to stay down and be dead. LOL Great collection. Summer of 2012 seem to be an allergy season for me. I need the rest of the year to recover :D PS Do show more the pre-d...
Really?! I could have swear ...
I saw ... nevermind :( My eyes probably got blinded by the bright summer sun or my fixation on a brown MK2 1665 is giving me delusion. I believe more likely is the latter LOL Regards Tyler
Thanks Chris.
My obsession for the DRSD has gotten to the point that I can't tell what is what anymore ... ... LOL This is an evil thread. I should stay away ... ... Regards Tyler
Tyler that goes for you & me both.........
I really struggle, unless it it very obvious, to distinguish any difference between the fonts. Unless of course one is written in RED & the other in WHITE! :) LOL Baron, good to see that you couldn't make a decision on what to take, so you took the ea...
Love that COMEX
That dial for tne COMEX is just AWESOME. Is that yours and why don't you wear it? The double reds are great too but I'm just partial to the COMEX. Something about them just rings true with me.
