Sorry for a bit late start .... Oct. 7th WS thread starts now!
Free like.... whatever you fancy.... Can't believe this is more than 40 years old..... Free like taking a time machine..... Now, show us what you feel free like! Ken...
Since this weekend is a Long....
weekend in Canada ( Thanksgiving). I think it is appropriate to show some affection to hard working orchard farmers, free style My Sinn with some beautiful walnuts. Hope everybody is having a good weekend ahead, thank you Ken for this wonderful thread. Be...
Brings back memories of Thanksgivings long ago . . .
. . . when cracking walnuts and hazelnuts after dinner was part of the tradition. These days, I'm so full after the second helping that any thought of dessert, much less nuts, goes right out the window ;-) . . .
My late Grandfather...
had a few walnuts trees in his orchard and every season we ended up with a large bucket full of them, I consumed them between meals as a healthy snack. Thank you for your warm response Art. Best Regards Edward
One learns something new here every day :)
Had no idea that Thanksgiving had a nut element They definitely work very well with your Sinn!
One thing all can agree on.....
KMII is that likely we are all thankful for our watch collections. Best regards Edward
Thank you hs111....
we are very creative with our pictures when it comes to watches, and some time there is a picture that is most unique and that is a lot of fun Best Regards Edward
Had to rub my eyes and look twice . . .
. . . before noticing the script below 'GS'. On first glance, I thought it was the re-issue from '13! Wearing a vintage English Omega yesterday . . . . . . and thru tomorrow. Best, Art ...
One of the guys hanging out at the seaside dive bar yesterday . . .
. . . was wearing a more current GMT, acquired new in '02. Spotted halfway across the counter ;-) . . .
Cooked pigs feet....
a huge edible delicacy/treat, even better with the Rolex. Cheers Edward
Classic!
Your pictures of this one are simply somewhere between hillarious and sublime
Wow! Impressive :)
The modernity of the case, the excellent shape the watch is in, a real gem, that one. Btw which reference is that? Never seen one without the date before...
Since you opened with Seiko ... I will follow
Ken, Here's one of my few Seiko watches: Love my old and trusty Marinemaster. A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Seiko is a brand that if you fall in love once.....
you will always love it. Nice photo nilomis. Best regards Edward
You need to take pics of this one more often :)
Very much under the radar but a very, very cool diver!
MIH with DQ dial
My custom MIH with Dumortierite quartz dial. Dumortierite is one of the rarer and more unusual blue varieties of quartz gemstones. It is a gemstone-quality combination of quartz aggregate, intergrown with the mineral known as dumortierite. Blue colored qu...
This is a watch that really stands up....
thank you for sharing cazalea. Best regards Edward
As I said...
One learns something new here every day Had no idea that there were dial variations with the MIH.
Alas, there are not dial variations
I made it all up as I was amazed by the images that came out of my camera. The fancy named stone is a real material and the images are not even faked. But it\'s the same old dial everyone else has - topped by a marvelously reflective crystal. Sorry Tongue...
Witching hour
How about a free scare to go with this theme? Halloween is around the corner... ...
Thank you, Nicolas!
Too bad the focus is no good and a lack of pixels... Must get a better camera phone
A very beautiful ref 6474!!! Thank you for sharing.
Give us some lumes… Looking at the crown it looks like a -1. -2 or -3? The kind of watch that gets my heart racing. Rarer sports 30CH are for me that much more sexy than their "finer" colorful counterparts.
Seamaster 300
Nice GS, looks great on your wrist. I like it. Some effect applied from phone's software. Sorry for the fingerprints on the bezel. Cheers Vte ...
Woah, who is the Bastardo again??? :)
Very very cool, you need to show me this one and I'll bring the Flags dial.
In some ways even cooler than the Dot Dial!
Really like the colourful, playful elements of this one
Hard to compare the two...
They are so very different... Only solution is to get both! Best Blomman
I never said it would be easy...! ;)
In fact, I would rather say the opposite! It would be much easier to be a vintage Rolex or JLC collector... Not cheaper but in sense of finding pieces! Best Blomman
Not very often seen but they do pop up once in a while....
Thank you, Ken! HAGWE Blomman
A Poljot I got a long while ago...
My first mechanical watch, I believe. A Russian version of the Valjoux 7730 movement but definitely needs service before further use. Thanks for your kind words!
I'll see...
Whether I'll find one first, or be in Switzerland before - will let you know in any case Thanks!
From Russia with love :)
Now I would have definitely preferred it without the graphics on the dial, but I was much younger then And it came as a present, so not much choice about it...
Thanks :)
I suppose there\'s been an overdose of my Chopards and Seikos, so something different for a change
Very cool!
The case is just .... All over the place! Is the bezel turning as well? Best Blomman
I'm sure one is incoming :)
Do you need suggestions? Many Purists would be happy to oblige
If I buy something like that before I buy my family a new home my wife will not be amused...
And my wife not being amused is better to be avoided.
You need the car first...
To ensure the garage in your new home is appropriately sized
I have used every silly excuse for a lot of silly stuff the past 6 years....
So I have reached the point of silence.
Great photo.
The watch looks wonderful. And you are already in deep s@#t with your wife over Pia-I mean the Au Pair you hired. What's a car among married people?
Guess I'll just have tell her when she sees the car for the first time:
"It could have been an Au Pair"
Girard-Perregaux Gyrodate 9080
Just picked this one up from my watchmaker this morning, now it is running strongly and I can finally enjoy this watch on the wrist, so will wear this for some days to come. Best, CC PS: perhaps I should set the date, after all this is a Gyro D A T E ...

Thanks Padj!
The one you saw in the Rolex thread is a 16713 rootbeer. So similar yet different.... . Cheers! SF
A restless , ever changing dial
Same watch, but pictures taken about a minute and just 5m apart. The way the blue changes in different lighting conditions never fails to leave me in chromatic rapture... ...
Amazingly sharp case on that Seiko Ken!
Beautiful watch, and looking fwd to meeting you in SG soon
Hmmhh.. Free, free like the fall, still surprising us with some late summer moods.. Let me see, what I can chip in.. ;))

Here's my offering.
Possibly my most free place to be, by the ocean gives me a true sense of why. HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
You could not pick a better.....
watch for a ocean front shot Tim. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Edward
thanks Edward,
it isn't my usual beach watch, however I was joining my family for a sundowner after work earlier this summer, and the light was rather good! My usual beach wear are my UN Blue Surf and a Seiko Divers 200m SKX009, for actual surfing... Cheers, Tim ...
Thanks Tim....
it may not be typical water sport watch but a perfect companion for a evening walk on the sand. I truly like the photo and the watch. Cheers Edward

This is definitely more than 40 years old. Patek Philippe Disco Volante
My reference 2552..... one of the nicest automatic movements ever used by PP.... ...
I give you my vote for this great wristshot my friend...
...great shot of a wonderful PP just as we love them. You really have a wonderful selection of PP Calatravas (not to mention few others which are totally ARRRGH like your 3448 and 5070P). Wear all of them in the best of health ! Mike
i am a bit light on PPs.....i need to work harder....
....though i do have a big love for the two you mention!
This one is so Lange !
And to me this one is the perfect size with its 38.5 mm. Big congrats Alkiro, really excellent choice Mike
Many thanks Mike
I am fully agree with you about its size. With my little wrist, it is perfect. At the same time dressed and "sporty" thanks to its blue dial colour and white gold case. Best wishes Alkiro
Beautiful Seiko GS Ken! You say it is 40 years old??
a timeless design and wonderful condition piece! This has been a rather adventurous week for me: we took a Disney Cruise to Bahamad with my family and grand daughters and ship was forced to change plans and deviate course to Cozumel Mexico due to Matthew ...
Thank you so much dear Nicolas! ...
... glad you like these shots!! Yes, Cozumel is a charming place specially for those who enjoy scuba diving. I visited several times for diving, first time in 1977!! It surely was so different then!! Waters are dtill superb anyway! Hagwe my friend!!
So glad to know you visited and enjoyed the place ...
... Nicolas! Sure it is a place to return! Cheers! Abel
Thank you so much Padj! You are always...
... so kind with your comments! Appreciate that! Hagwe! Abel
You will never change my friend...
...always great shots which make us travel just by looking at your nice pics ! Thank you for that, I enjoy thelm a lot ! Best, Mike
Thank you so much Mike!! Appreciate your so kind...
... words! It is always my plessure to share these shots here! All the best and Hagwe! Abel
Hej, Abel ! You again inundate us with a whole bunch of nice pics !.. My fav 3 &4..
The green-blue waters make a splendid backdrop . Have a Great Sunday ! Cheers, hs
Thank you so much Bill!...
... completely agree! We had to drastically change the course of the cruise to Bahamas going to Cozumel escaping from Hurricane Matthew but thus the trip was safe and with excellent weather! Cheers! Abel
Free theme = love theme
I was in love witht this one since long but it took me some time to realize that not only smaller size watches are ok with my wrist. Luckily the famous Vlad insisted that I was wrong thinking that it's too big for me... Thank you for that my friend HAGWE,...
Very classy but cool as well !.. A touch of elegant sportiness.. Pleasure to look at ! :))
Continue to wear in the Best of your health ! Cheers, hs
Wonderful pic ...
...with the sun softly and warmly caressing this nicely patinated bronzo case, that makes a wonderful combo. Well done again my friend, HAGWE, Mike
