Howdy folks, lets go double watch wristed this week... Have a great weekend folks, make it count... Horo...  

is there something we should know about ... Best D

Best, Horo

You really didn't need to go to so much trouble for is with the nails, my friend, but your attention to detail is appreciated! Shows how good these watches look in any circumstance. A

One last picture, to celebrate our fantastic Parisian GTG. 2 watches, 2 owners, 2 marvels, side by side: A Superocean Chrono, and a Superocean Time Only. 2 friends, happy to be together, and to share some unforgettable and intense moments. HAGWE, Nicolas....  

A dazzling few days - until the next time. HAGWE.

We're close to perfection... If only you could have more hair on the wrist. All the best, my friend. Nicolas.

I hear that all the Parisian men are visiting the salon for a little -...  

. . . with duct tape ;-) . . .

And great moment! HAGWE Blomman

...well, actually old and newer since the second one's from the '80s...so not really so new. The bubbleback is from '41....  

Your picture makes me miss them a lot!! Great wristshot Best, Horo

I wear it quite a bit although it's sooooo small by today's standards. But it's just such a classic and no one ever seems to wear them any more that I enjoy the novelty of it. Emil This message has been edited by Emil Wojcik on 2011-10-14 14:42:04

Nice shot Emil. It really is like a time machine on your wrist when it takes you back 70 years. And it is so often the vintage watches that align more with today's trends of size and appearance that we covet. Whereas the bubblebacks look great for an enti... 

...It's good to know others appreciate these vintage pieces as I do. Emil

. . . different perspectives, Horo? Front . . . . . . back . . . . . . and profile views . . . . . . of the '56 Longines Conquest, newly outfitted with a vintage Longines beads of rice bracelet. Notice how the silver ring on the dial captures the reflecti...

. . . that vintage Longines is on the "front burner" for your own collection.

Looking forward to hunting more of these marvels: 13 ZN, Weems, and a few others... Best, Nicolas.

These conquests are very beautiful dress watches.

. . . that came along with my recent Omega acquisition. omega.watchprosite.com Whoever said, "There's no such thing as a bargain", never received a vintage Longines bracelet thrown in with a mint Connie ;-) . . .

I like it a lot. Mike

. . . who, in turn, received it from his brother in 1956. I'd say that makes it a keeper for sure!

Hagwe guys, GEO

. . . with the ISO setting of the Canon G12 at the highest level, which accounts for the quality of the image. As usual, there was no processing of any kind . . . these images are straight off the camera. Thanks for the kind words, Geo. Cordially, Art

see it in the metal next time!

. . . when it was on a green croc strap. Quite a difference, no? . . ....  

Have a good weekend Art!

... as it adds some solidity to the whole watch, without overpowering it. Great addition. And is the underside of the seconds hand polished? Andrew

. . . were corroded when Dad handed the Longines over, so I had them polished and rhodium plated when the movement was serviced. Funny thing - it's been in my possession for seven years, and it wasn't until just now that I noticed the reflective property ... 

I have always liked the Conquest. Does this one say anything about anti-magnetic on the back..? HAGWE Blomman

. . . when it was on a strap, blomman . . . . . . and the markings read "Longines Automatic - Waterproof"....  

I have seen Conquest ads that say anti-magnetic. But never anything on the watch… Best Blomman

... I found difficult and uncomfortable. Not to mention the anxiety of scratching up the cases (even keeping like-metals with like). But I am quite happy wearing a watch on each wrist, and I like the balance of these two, even though they are very differe...  

That's the spirit Best n HAGWE Horo

... following the announcement of Nic Hayek's death, June 28 last year. I hope it's a fitting tribute to a powerful man who contributed so much to the industry. Andrew

Although the hardest thing was taking the photo. They slip and slide all over your wrist. I don't know how Mr Hayek managed to do this all the time. Andrew

GEO

Wasn't easy to take the photo with one hand........  

. . . of this classic! Boy, do I have a vivid imagination, or what?

Vivid imagination? H'mm..... I sure hope it's not a comment on the watches!

. . . three rare Habrings brought to mind first the Kingston, and then Nairobi, Trios, both happy memories from childhood. I couldn't find a video of "Three Jolly Coachmen", so my imagination wandered to "Solfeggio". In hindsight, I'll grant that was pret... 

You certainly are a big Habring fan. I remember you did some customization to them. Best, Horo

Nice picture; albeit you might qualify for the Freudian slip of the month!

Best, Horo

They make a great pair. And give a different view on the passing of time. Andrew
