A fitting theme to celebrate the end of the fall harvest, and glad to contribute with moons and mooncakes. The legend goes that mooncakes were offered to Emperor Taizong of Tang in his victory against the Xiongnu on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. Th...  

Great watch ! Congrats ! Love the santoni ! Happy festivities , Dean !

I hope you can find good mooncakes in the US. I know you have an affinity for the "Middle Kingdom" Dean

Am based in Beijing LOL Using a US based VPN to access Facebook , thus the confusion ;)

Have seen your China related posts... Now makes sense. I gave up on FB whilst in China. Used to access it through VPN at work, but then my company banned FB worldwide. Have a great mid Autumn festival. No shortage of mooncakes in Beijing ! I might drive t... 

To meet up ! It will be cold then ! Another great road trip coming up ?!? Btw, I use a paid VPN service , since my company bans FB as well ;) Am using it to access YouTube as well :)

But we know you also have one of the most beautiful moonphases ever created, and my hunt for that elusive beauty is just beginning.... Looking forward to your post ! Dean

I wish you best in your hunt for the 8171. It is my most precious piece. Best Iceman

Please do share more with us on this piece

A Watch I admired ( the dial, to be precise ) a lot, some 12 years ago! And, if I am not wrong, the rotor has a nice decoration, too. Best, my friend. Nicolas

I just eat them LOL. I have already started eating even though it is on the 19th. The varieties we can get in Australia are from China, Hong Kong, Malaysia , Vietnam and locally manufactured in Melbourne and sydney. Here is a photo of my favourite double ...  

so which country you prefer....we do have duren (king fruit) taste as well

although I have eaten good ones made in Australia. The one pictured above are from Malaysia. It is not too oily , not too sweet and the outer skin is not too thick and the yolks are very nicely salted just right. If I am back in Malaysia, I let my sister ...

moon cake with beer......good one

. . . I used to wash down breakfast with beer! Gosh, I miss college ;-) . . .

Since we are on the subject of moonies.....well , i'll add a rolex moon on the list Best Iceman ...  

I was wondering when this one would make an appearance. Great choice of strap to go with such a beauty. Assume the mooncake box is empty and you are 1kg heavier this week ! Great shot my friend, and happy Mid-Autumn Festival ! Dean
