WS Friday 20th is Open now! Theme: โWatches and small (or big) pleasures.
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-13:01
Hello Friends! We know that getting a new watch to our collection is a big big pleasure but there are many other small (or big) pleasures we can enjoy as well: taste a good whiskey, tea or coffe or just our favorite soft drink. We can also indulge tasting...
True!

OK, I'll play
By: Boris : August 20th, 2021-15:34
One of my guilty pleasures is watch straps. I probably acquired it early when I got into this hobby, as one of my first good watches was a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM1). And one of the great joys of owning a Panerai is changing straps all the time. I must...
Thanks a lot fir your entry Boris! Playing with different strapsโฆ
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-15:44
โฆ is very enjoyable indeed. And Paneristi have an special fondness for this. Though of course it can be played with almost any watch with identical pleasure. I am always amazed with how much we can change the character or mood of a watch with just a quick...
Thanks for the kind words
By: Boris : August 20th, 2021-15:49
As for straps, I have come to the conclusion that they make for 50% of the looks of a watch. Even an average watch can look good with a great strap.
My big pleasure Boris! Absolutely agree with your thoughtsโฆ
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-17:53
โฆ about the importance of choosing the right strap for our personal taste in our watches. It has happened to me that a straps change has fueled my desire to wear a watch more often after finding the one which I liked best. Cheers! Abel
Passion for watch strap, hummโฆ

I think I can relate to that one! ๐๐๐ Thanks a pretty cool orange strap combo!
Hi Boris โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 20th, 2021-21:16
The orange tropic strap on your Speedmaster is a cool choice. I love that first shot ! Have a great weekend.
Wow what a start dear Abel!

That PAM is so sweet! Might be the next and last one I had to my 47mm collections! Looks so clean without the crown
Thanks a lot dear Yacomino. It is true that the โฆ
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-17:57
Pam 587 MM is a sweet cool watch. I have an special fondness for this Panerai. And an MM inscription on the dial always makes a Panerai more special in my point of view. Hope you find yours soon. It will make a great addition to your fine collection my fr...
Thank you โฆ

Reading National Geographic
By: Cookies : August 20th, 2021-18:29
My favourite past time since young. Maybe thatโs when I got hooked onto watches instead of cars. So here is my Rolex. Iโve got 2 Rolex watches to satisfy my childhood dream of reading Rolex ads. Sadly my Daytona is stuck overseas. Interestingly I was list...
Creative shot โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 20th, 2021-21:22
and good to hear your thoughts on The podcast with Jean Claude Biver.
Yes the lockdown is quite bad
By: Cookies : August 21st, 2021-04:06
For the mind. I was listening to the podcast while walking the dogs in the forest behind my house, for an hour. Time just flew by and it was filled with inspiration for a better tomorrow.
Have a great week too!!
By: Cookies : August 21st, 2021-04:07
Whenever I see those ads, my mind is filled with dreams. I donโt look at the watch much, rather I imagine myself like Snoopy imagining himself as the Red Baron
I love National Geographic too.
By: Ruffian : August 21st, 2021-01:39
Growing up, I remember looking forward to the gorgeous photos. The writing wasn't bad too! Did you hear the one about the guy who said he read National Geographic for the same reason he read Playboy? Because he liked to look at pictures of places he'd nev...
Thatโs right

Dreams fuel the tomorrow. Without dreams, life can become meaningless.

I subscribed to Disney+ and ended up watching the Nat Geo content on it more. Lots of great shows to pass the time in this lonesome lockdown. I try to live an adventurous life as much as time allows, usually with a weekend swim in the sea (3km or so) or s...
