I'm going to goof off all day since the office is closed in observance of Independence Day in the US. Here's what I'll be wearing this Friday... Happy 4th of July on Saturday to the Americans amongst us! HAGWE! Daos This message has been edited by dxboon ...  

Here's my contribution to this special Friday. Best, Nicolas...  

have a great weekend & Happy 4th folks.......  

This recent addition. I suspect it will be the case for a while Have a good weekend...  

There have been some really attractive vintage examples shown in photos on this site. Your watch is certainly one of those. Cheers, Daos

My new friend also...lol... Best Chung...  

This is a classic! I think Seikos are underappreciated, especially in America. Thanks for sharing your photo! Cheers, Daos

Thanks...dxboon...for u kind words... Just a cheep collections...BUT I LIKE IT...lol... Best Chung

I don't often see Panerais on bracelets, so it's a nice change of pace! Cheers, Daos

This is a very new addition to my collection PAM 233, but its unusual and I do like to wind my watches, even if its every 8 days cheers benio, and a happy 4th from Australia Paneerai PAM 233...  

PAM 36? Tobacco dials are my favorite! It goes perfectly with your strap choice. Sometimes, I think I need to buy a Panerai just so I can accessorize it with straps. I suppose that's not surprising, as women are notorious when it comes to collecting acces... 

In a very bad era for us... Back to the watch, yes, this is the infamous Pam 36, the only Titanium / Brown Dial / Tritium indexes. A Cult watch for every Panerai Lover... And proud to still own it. Yes, playing with straps on Pannies is great but I guess ... 

HI hermano!. This watch is a Hit, impressive!. HAGWEE Emilio

I don't wear it very often, but each time I do is a great pleasure. Yes, I agree...One of the nicest Pannies! Best, Nicolas

Come celebrate with your American friends! HAGWE -- Richard.

Yes, I should make my first trip to USA ( !!! ) quite soon... And meet you all! Have a great day, today. Best, Nicolas

...with the good Dr Ting (hopefully) and the rest of you former colonials who ruined shiploads of perfectly good tea, the evening will be spent disporting stars, stripes, red, white, blue and - errrr - gold. You have your independence (congratulations) - ...  

but i didnt. MIH for me. old pic. have good celebrations over the pond. Graham...  

An Oeschlin fan I am! Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, i believe they still have some from the last issue, but if not there will be another release in March/april. if you change straps as i expect you will, go for a 22/22 as you can use the original buckle on the new strap. while the tennis is on i m... 

i'm think i like it, its different and shows that the MIH suits all kinds of strap. for most use the black is still king. Graham...  

Surprisingly, you have a wide choice of straps which work on this watch. Still, I think that a simple strap, as the first you posted, works better on this watch, as to enhance its very strong personality, IMO.... Best, my lucky friend. Nicolas

This is a fantastic watch! Cheers, Daos

Stunning dial I must say. GEO

Geo, if this comment was directed at me then i feel honoured in view the incredible collection you have yourself. if it wasnt then i feel honoured on behalf of the person it was directed at :) best Graham

Does grilling hotdogs count as something useful? LOL! Your watch has one of the most beautiful dials of all time. HAGWE! Daos

year, as it was on my wrist for the past two years on the 4th. I took this celebration literally this year A Trio of independence, The Gerber today, the VH tomorrow, and the TP for Sunday. Hope all is well, Mike...  

Independents for independence! Lovely timepieces, good sir. Thanks for sharing! Cheers, Daos

HAGWE...  

Thanks, Patrice, for these water pics! I'm impatient to do the same with mine, this summer. Best, Nicolas

...A Pola playinjg in the water. Is that a tropic strap on the '65? Thanks for posting those photos. respo

...to see a Polaris in its watery habitat! Cheers, Daos

...  

I love how you incorporated color into the background! Lovely AP too! Have a great weekend! Daos

Glad you liked it.

Hi Everyone... I will be wearing my Longines this weekend , I added a vintage style mesh band, ends are spring loaded from 17.5 mm to 22 mm, the band is 17.5. For the summer it is very comfortable as opposed to the OEM band. But getting back to the photo....  

A photo of one nice watch is fun, but two is even better! Enjoy the weekend! Daos

At work, big party yesterday, I have to finish a logotype without my brain, so full stell :...  

...that you can wear shorts and flips to work! I wish I could! At least you have your Rolex to help inspire you during the day! Daos

Have a good weekend all of you. GEO...  

Very elegant, my friend. Can't wait for the pic of the 2 monopushers side by side, when you get it back from service... Best, Nicolas

You've captured the beauty of the blued hands very nicely. What a skyline. If this were the view from my office I don't think I'd be quite as productive! Cheers, Daos

MIH here as well, at least today. DJK...  

...watch, the more I like it! Enjoy your weekend! Cheers, Daos

HAGWE...  

You have been holding out on me! HAGWE.

one has to have some surprises lol Have a great weekend my friend Cheers

You caught me! Very nice Pannie, Pink Panther! Enjoy your WE. Nicolas

thank you my friend Enjoy your weekend too Cheers

From the photo, it looks like you and your Panerai will be enjoying a nice, sunny day together! Cheers, Daos

of continuous tropical rain, it was a nice change to see the colour of the sun... enjoy the 4th sister Cheers

...  

I always enjoy these Omegas. Your shirt looks very handsome as well (from what I can see of the sleeve!). Cheers, Daos

Seems not like me???? thanks. BHK9...  

Elegant, indeed! HAGWE! Cheers, Daos

...  

There is always someone to remind me this one... Strange! With the Nato, the Combo is perfect, IMO. The only problem of this watch is that, while the case looks bigger and thicker, the size of the bracelet didn't move, which looks strange, but with the Na... 

I like these DLC'd GMT Master IIs. You've got it on the perfect NATO as well. Very stealthy. Cheers, Daos

Great watch - strap package IMO. Best, anaesdoc

The watch with one of the best price/quality ratio's in the world; Seiko 5 Have a good weekend! Regards Mark...  

Nice Seiko mark. i like the daye positioning, a bit like the 60's model whose name i forget. Seiko are a bit of a stealth brand. most 'people' view them as cheap, but they are virtually unbreakable and for a teenager or someone with a manual job its one o... 

...is it a current model Seiko 5? I am a fan as well, and have one of the PVD'd models originally made for the Japanese market. Cheers, Daos

I bought it about two years ago. It's the coolest thing.. All days of the week are black, but SATURDAY is blue and SUNDAY is red. How awesome is that ?! Okay -- perhaps I am easily entertained Regards Mark

I tend to wear my Seiko 5 on the weekend so I can experience seeing the Sunday display in red (the rest of the week is in black font). It's the little things! Cheers, Daos

The Longines is looking good! I'm channeling Ralph Waldo Emerson this morning: By the rude bridge, that arched the flood, Their flag to April's breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot, heard 'round the world. (Or somethi...  

I see you are sporting your trusty pink, I mean, salmon Datejust. Check out the VC forum. Bill posted some good pix of the VC Patrimony Contemporaine. I was hoping you might be able to share new pix of your VC. I found one of the old photos to share with ...

I love the clean, elegant dials! Thanks for sharing your photo! Cheers, Daos

...what look to be lovely pink impatiens in the background? I love the dial on your vintage VC! Cheers, Daos

Daos, thanks for noticing the details in addition to the main attraction! tempusfugit This message has been edited by tempusfugit on 2009-07-05 08:21:32

. . . and an Omega AT Teck annual calendar on my wrist . . . . . . all set for a day of hangin' out with some of my fellow watch aficionados . . . cordially, Art...  

Art, are you ready to share with us how the AT is working out, accuracy, speed of date change etc. best Graham

. . . but I'll share one tidbit now: the end-of-month change from June 30th to July 1st took place in the space of time between focusing on the watch and pushing the start button - I missed the changeover by a second! Cordially, Art

Having the day off is fun, but having friends to share it with is even better! That AT looks good on your wrist. Enjoy your weekend! Daos

Are you hiding us some of your treasures??? Good appetite, my friend. Nicolas

. . . this one is on loan from Omega US for review, which is in the works . . . cordially, Art

Fr.Xavier...

This is my favorite post this week, and certainly in the running for my favorite post of '09! Where to start? First, I love the photo you took of the crystal on your Bunde FF! The crystal is one of the BEST aspects of the watch. So sexy. Although, Nicolas... 

Did you convince Emilio to post this pic???? I WANT TO KNOW! It would have been even greater if you could have been there, with us, Daos. You're wrong, on this point. Best, Nicolas

Love this watch! Happy Independence Day to all who love Liberty! HAGWE, -- Richard....  

...for Independence Day! Cheers, Daos

A watch I've always wanted, but put off buying for years. Finally got one! 1937 Gruen Curvex with the 330 movement, 48mm. Redial but watch is super clean and restored. The only downside was that the caseback/movement had detached from the upper case in sh...  

Congratulations! This is a mighty fine vintage piece! Enjoy your new watch, and have a great holiday weekend! Cheers, Daos

This is one I've wanted for a while. Think I got the hands aligned properly, too. Happy 4th!

Snak, am i missing something? a gruen curvex that looks exactly like a LUM-TEC? best Graham

You gotta be quick with the hand coding to edit posts here! Here's a shot I just took....  

thats more like it, a really nice classic, perhaps more suited to the female wrist in these modern times unless you like small watches. a great design best Graham

48mm was a large watch in the 30s. I wish more people didn't like these sizes so I could get even better deals on them. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2009-07-04 18:29:53

I was waiting for the Fedex guy to deliver this little baby.... A 1960 Speedmaster from the first owner......  

Jeff, that looks stunning and original which is rare for a watch of this age. a 2998 i believe, but with the pulsations bezel which is a bit of a rareity. looks like nothing needs doing to it at all. an excellent purchase, but what happened to your love o... 

I still have my two Daytonas....and now three Speedmasters 2998....I have to take a group shot someday ;-) HAGWE Jeff

Jeff, thats just being greedy :) how many are there left in the world? and you have 3!! at least they're in a safe place for the future. best Graham

Very nice! I don't know at all the Speeds, but this one is charming, with its special bezel. I'mù sure you will elaborate more on the dedicated forum! And what about your lovely SM 300? Still in work? Best, Nicolas

and yes, the SM300 is still undergoing some work... Cheers Jeff

Especially with that bezel. Good work!

Your new watch is a beauty! I'm excited to see a wristshot soon! Cheers, Daos

Congratulations on your most recent acquisition, Jeff. Kind regards, Alejandro

this before it goes in for service tomorrow happy independence day to those who observe it richard...  

Hope you get your GO back soon! Cheers, Daos

Thanks, Daos...I hope so too. Its going to take a while from what I gather. -Richard

Look at my wrist... It is the personal watch of Vaucher Manufacture's general manager, Mr. Florian Serex. And now the best part of it : guess who has taken those pictures ? ? ? Michel Parmigiani himself !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm currently in Montreux, Switzerland...  

I thought it was your last catch, my friend. You're lucky to be in Montreux, it is a very pleasant town, and the ambiance during the Jazz Festival is really great. Well, bring us back more pics and informations, please! Travel safe back home, and ...Best.... 

I've had the extraordinary opportunity to take pictures of exclusive pieces, some of them never seen before !!!! I'll share them with you and my fellow PuristSPro members. I'll write a post tomorrow evening or Monday at the latest. Thanks for your reply a... 

Too bad you had to give it back.... At least you did enjoy it briefly...lol Cheers

Pretty amazing stuff! Thanks for the photos, and looking forward to seeing and hearing more about your adventures in Montreux! Cheers, Daos

Be prepared to see much more... Cheers, Emmanuel

My faithful Panerai and my 1980 5513. Hope you have a great weekend, Daos. Catch you soon, Alex...  

Wow, Your 5513 is superb! Best, Nicolas

Both are great watches! I'd have a hard time choosing! Panerai and Rolex (along with JLC and GO) are all high on the list of possible targets for purchase in 2010. I love your strap choices too! Cheers, Daos
