Can I follow you? I could use a much needed weekend.
A Seiko 6105-8110 from July 1974.
Not the best one but I love the style of the case and the crystal reflexes.
Just like the movie, Apocalypse Now - 1979, it "smells like a victory".
A great weekend to all,
Nilo

Wow! Love this watch, and your photo!
Seiko is one of my favorite brands. Cheers, Daos
Like the pattern on your coffees!
And your watches as well ! You even made me turn around my laptop to identify your wife´s watch - your wife either has a excellent taste in watches or is very obedient to her husband´s equally superb "propositions" . Hope you enjoyed your coffee! Best reg...
Reverso …
Hi Doc, Sorry to make you stand on your head. Here’s another pre-rotated shot of the Reverso Memory. Obedient is not how one would describe my lovely wife. The obverse is more apt, and a Reverso therefore seems appropriate. She does, however, have excelle...
Thanks, Andrew, for the photo!
And my compliments to your wife´s excellent tastes in whatever matters ! Have an enjoyable WE, anaesdoc
Morning tea time…?
With coffee! Another stunning pair! Your wife have great taste..! HAGWE Blomman
Nice photos Andrew
Some baristas go to such lengths to make nice patterns in the crema (is that what its called???). I'm sometimes in two minds whether to break it up straight away or show some respect and preserve it a while. Regards, Richard.
Crema
Hi Richard, You are absolutely correct about crema. This is the brown coloured layer of fats, dissolved flavenoids and aromatics that floats on the surface of your coffee due to the release of carbon dioxide from the beans during extraction. Good latte ar...
Andrew, such nice pair....
Andrew, if my wife likes watches as your wife, i am sure i will get reverso for her. reverso looks very elegant for lady too. stefan
Classic ...
Thanks Stefan, The Memory is housed in the 39x23mm Classic case, so is a little larger than the standard 'ladies' Reverso, but on bracelet it suits her perfectly. She picked this out very quickly, not because of the continuous flyback minute counter, but ...
Reverso Memory?...
hi Andrew, you just reminded that your wife's watch is Reverso Memory? it is discontinued and was just produced in one year or so. very interesting function, but not sure why MJLC did not continue to make it in longer term? maybe Nico knows the answer? st...
Reverso Memory
Hi Stefan The Reverso Memory (Ref. 255.08.82), as far as I can tell, was discontinued in 2002 after being produced for 3 or 4 years. All I can assume is that it did not sell well. But that just makes it all the more interesting. The main dial is just perf...
Yep, that's me playing at home, Jed ...
In fact the coffee machine is warming up as I type this reply. Off to make the morning macchiato (x2). A
The patina of
Your coffee and your Sub is almost matching! You have a splendid Sub, Andrew. Are you considering getting another Vintzge Rolex, now? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Possibly ...
So many nice watches out there, and I try to keep variety in my modest collection, but a gilt dial 1675 would be hard to resist. Andrew
And the good thing is
That it is not an unaffordable Vintage Rolex! A Sub, a GMT...Your bases would be nicely covered... Best, Nicolas
Fancy picture, Graham!
I like your Constellation! Cheers, Daos PS -- I'm wearing this one: Stowa Marine Original...
thanks Daos, proper pics...
thanks Daos, proper pics are on the Omega page, but i thought i'd go for a bit of art this week to brighten the weekend up. best Graham
Still Seiko for me...
Can't get this one off my wrist...truly is a great watch the perfect time keeper so far. My GS has a spell on me....And I like it HAGWE all...
Thanks Richard !
I'm really enjoying this watch for the vintage styling with a modern technical marvel movement, its mesmerizing ! one of my all time favorite for sure Drew
Cool pic Graham....
I really have been diggin the Vintage Omega's lately...Just might have to save up for one....well....maybe after I get my JLC NSA. Best Drew
thanks Drew, just a...
thanks Drew, just a bit of a laugh pic wise. there's no real need to save up for a nice vintage Omega unless you want a mint 57 speedie or SM300. for the cost of the NSA's strap you could buy a perfectly decent constellation. best Graham
Alooooha for Friday wristscan!
My Friday wristscan shot at an elevation of 762ft above Honolulu at the top of Diamond Head I brought along my trusty travel watch, a Breitling Aerospace, overlooking the famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii: Have a great weekend! Regards, ED-209 This...
Cool, let's see a wristshot for Friday
Hi Ronald, Is your aerospace the same dial color? Regards, ED-209
That's a great beater !!
Interesting Pics ! MCMX definately would not be my beater. Drew
The MCM is actually…
The perfect beater! Strong built and in a size that goes well with both suit and leisure. A perfect one to bring to the gym, go diving or hiking, just put a rubber strap on and you are ready to go! Best Blomman
a bit of an Andy...
a bit of an Andy Warhol moment going on there Blomman. looking down the page it seems i may have started something today :-) best Graham
A very good daily beater indeed, Blomman
Another Memo I thought about a lot on the way to my perfect Memo. So, I found my perfect alarm, why can't I find my perfect Reverso? Love your MCM on the red strap. A dynamic combo. HAGWE, respo
Respo...
...have you seen a RG Reverso Minute Repeater? Perhaps, one of the most "perfect" Reversos out there IMO. Cheers, Daos
Daos, to perfectly honest...
I have not YET handled even the Chronographe Retrograde that I shamelessly lust after. But the Minute repeater is, for me the OTHER most awesome Reverso from that 1990s rose gold anniversary collection. Both are just stunning examples of what MJLC can do....
Actually it’s my favourite combo! :-)
Thanks Respo – the red strap together with the red details on the MCM is my favourite! If it was easy to find the perfect one… It wouldn’t be any fun! HAGWE Blomman
Blomman, you are RED HOT this Friday!
by the way, nice watch with nice pic which makes me wild! stefan
Maybe your next Memo? :-)
Thank you Stefan Maybe the MCM should be your next Memo to add to the collection?! HAGWE Blomman
HAGWE, Graham, and all!
Had a celebratory dinner tonight (Thursday) so this seemed a good choice, and planning to wear it tomorrow as well. Best, Jed...
Thanks Andrew. I'm wearing it today with Jeans.
So I guess it IS versatile! HAGWE! Best, Jed
one for play, one for work
Wore the green kermit for an afternoon swim at the pool where I did 30 laps. Wearing my speedy on a nato for washing plates later at work. Tough work but it's needed. I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU LOOK AT THE BRIGHT GOOD LIFE AHEAD OF YOU AND SMILE GRAHAM! It'll b...
That Nato strap look perfect on your Omega !
Thinkin about putting on a Nato on my GO Nav.....I'm inspired by your photo. Best Drew
thanks mate
It fits better than the common omega bracelet i've learnt to dislike. Post some pics! Have a awesome week ahead!
life's too short to worry...
life's too short to worry Cookie and having now seen the election result i can smile as the nicer bunch of liars got the biggest vote :-) best Graham
Friday afternoon here....
Just a quiet one with my Nautilus By the way, the MAC photouploader is not working currently. I tried several times over a couple of hours today with no luck. Had to use flickr for this particular post. I left a note on the Help Desk. HAGWE Richard....
That looks very good!
A cold one, some nuts and a classic sports PP… Richard, it seams you got it all covered! HAGWE Blomman
i'm not sure i could drink Blue Tongue Richard
over here they slaughter sheep and shut the farms down if any of them get blue tongue. best Graham
A slightly different blue tongue, Graham ...
Hi Graham, The blue tongues we have down here are a type of large skink. They have bright blue tongues and will hiss at you and display this when cornered. But they are basically harmless and quite slow moving and make great pets. And they love snails and...
