Hello dear Friends!! Our WS event "Last Weeks Watches" is Open now!
As I previously announced I have the pleasure of hosting this new edition of WS for the weekend starting now Friday 24th and running till Sunday 26th afternoon around 5 PM UTC. The challenge this time is very easy: I´m asking our participants to share wit...
Here my shots of the watches I worn during last seven days…
Saturday 18th playing with straps on my vintage Williard Seiko: “chocolate bar” or “tire tread” ? Sunday 19th: Seiko 5 Farsi numerals Proving once again that we don’t need to spend big bucks to enjoy a charming watch on the wrist. Sunday was Father’s Day ...
Hello, dear Abel !.. What an intro statement with your series of 7.. Great variety, which I see, you are sun-and-air bathing..
My personal favs are your Omega MDS/10 Chrono ( lovely shots, needless to say) and one of my real likes of your watch box, the Breguet La Tradition !!.. A truly awesome piece ! HAGWE & Best, hs PS: your new watchbox is really a very nice family present !
Thank you so much for your always nice comments dear friend HS! I´m happy you like these two watches you mention which have arrived to my collection together just a month ago.
I´m still honeymooning with them. Agree with your thoughts on these two watches. Also glad you like the watchbox. Family knows my needs! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Cheers Abel
Thx for your as ever nice words.. And also for sharing your..
.. Double loading your wrists with one of each of your great watchbox choices ! - Keep enjoying your „honeymoon“ time with these great arrivals; both are great but if I needed to choose one, I guess I would pick your wonderful La Tradition !! HAGWE & Best...
Thank you so much for your kind comments on my choices dear friend HS! La Tradition is a superb watch indeed. I had been lusting it for many years and I´m happy I could finally get one...
... for my collection recently. Best cordial regards my friend! Abel
Ha ha ha! Thank you so much dear Yacomino! Yes, a busy horological week it was. Glad you like the watch box! Thank you for your comments.
Look forward to your choices of last week my friend. Hagwe! Abel
Nice intro.....love your Omega museum chrono and the Tradition...
My simple three watches this week Noticed the battery was down and had it replaced...very enjoyable still giving wrist time to the 'King'...a relative recent acquisition with interesting brown tones on the dial Revisiting an old tortue enamel dial...love ...
Hello Henry!! Glad to know you liked my choices. Three wonderful watches you share here. The Accutron is a very interesting piece. I would like to have one in my collection.
A change of battery and you are set for more time of enjoyment of this wonderful piece. Beautiful Seikos you share here. I´m very fond of Seiko and GS watches and wear mine very often. Beautiful designs and reliable and accurate movements make for very en...
Beautiful trio indeed, Henry!
Hard for me to pick a favorite here 😊 Your no Date KS reissue certainly looks wonderful, the Spaceview I find one of the more interesting vintage pieces and the torture has one of my favorite watch shapes 😊👍🏻
Gosh, Abel - your rotation schedule is much faster . . .
. . . than mine. I typically wear a watch for two to three days, sometimes more, rarely more than six. In the last seven days Ed White . . . . . . was on my wrist four days, followed by the '49 ref 2494 chronometer . . . . . . that is in such immaculate c...
Ha ha ha! Yes dear Art. It was a very busy week at work indeed and I needed some joy on my wrist to help to maintain my mood high.
I had guessed that ED had been on your wrist the whole week but of course Sleeping Beauty well deserves some wrist time as well. She is just one year younger than me but she surely arrived to our present days with much more dignity than me! Lol! Incredibl...
The magnificent seven 👌🏻👍🏻
Your selection over the week really shows the breadth of our hobby, from vintage to modern, low cost yet interesting to the higher ranges, dressy to sporty. Your collection really is quite something 👍🏻👌🏻 And great strap choices, too 😊🙌🏻 ...
Wow ! …
Hello dear Abel ! Interesting to see your splendid choices for the week. The new watch box from your children is a very special gift and a happy memory each time you open it. The Moon DNA strap on your Speedmaster looks very cool. Best regards Captain
Hi dear Abel, best to you and hagwe 🍻
I’ve been rediscovering my Luminor 24h GMT the past week and its domed, bottomless dial…. (Driveway decorations c/o my daughter) ...
Hello dear Stoikos!! Thank you so much for your superb entry!! I love the looks of this GMT Panerai. I own a 1088 and though it escapes a bit from the traditional look of the Panerai...
... its dial and which you rightfully describe as domed and bottomless is really fascinating. I would include the shape of its bezel as part of its stunning carácter. Awesome background decoration by your daughter!! Adds a fantastic backdrop to your shots...
Thank you so kindly, Abel, re my daughter and watch 🍻
I love the 1088! 24h GMT is a terrific complication. Glad you like the straps! The tan “74 series” and the blue straps are by Gunny Straps Official. The Flottiglia Mas Xa painted strap is by Aaron Bespoke.
Before I forget !.. truly love your PAM 1088 !!
Quite eclectic but with lots of character, which is nicely reflected by your shots ! In fact, AFAIK this is the first time I see this Ref. - Could you pls mention the production or/and acquisition year(s) of this Luminor GMT ?! - And BTW, what is the Powe...
Your daughter is quite the artist, Stoikos!
Great also to spend some quality time with one watch and some wonderful strap choices 👍🏻
Great shots ! …
I especially like your Flottiglia Mas Xa painted strap by Aaron Bespoke. Well played !
These are the watches for the past week.
Started with my Breitling 1959 Navitimer I swapped out the black calf strap that came with the watch for this minimal stitched Maya Calf strap from Genteel Handmade. Later in the week I moved on to my JLC Duometre Chronograph. The strap is Caramel calfski...
Hello Timeout! Five wonderful watches you have been enjoying during these last days!!
Any of them can make me a happy man, but I am specially fond of your magnificent JLC Duometre. What a sublime timepice!! Great choice for today. I also own a 15202 but with a white dial. A superb modern classic I feel. Keep enjoying these watches so much....
What a week in watches 😊
Starting with complications and going to time only - great choices all and nice strap pairings for the season 👌🏻👍🏻
Many thanks.
Until you brought it to my attention I hadn’t noticed the progression from complications to time only! The Breitling and JLC are both chronographs - but quite different takes on the complication. I’m really enjoying the Duometre with the new strap which l...
Thanks Captain.
This 1959 is the only Breitling I own. I really liked the back story to its reissue a couple of years ago and the way that Breitling is going to it’s back catalogue in a thoughtful way.
Dear Abel, that's a busy wrist week !!
This Breitling Premier has been with me the past week. From the 1940's, 36mm in rose gold and a gold dial. Other than a few dings on the case, amazing original condition. Have a good weekend! ...
Hello dear friend H S! Ha ha ha! Yes, it was a very busy week. I tell you a little secret: sometimes I wear a watch on each wrist, though I keep them under the shirt cuff so nobody will...
... think I´m completely nuts. Lol! What a wonderful vintage Breitling you share! I can easily unerstand you didn´t make a change during past week. This watch calls to be worn! Awesome dial, and condition looks top. It has the charm that only vintage watc...
Thks Abel…
I was chasing a fatlady 😍but someone told her hand 🤬. It is fine, the Breitling and a Gruen fell in my lap this time😜. Not complaining, will continue my pursuit for my fatlady!😂
What a beauty 👌🏻
One thing about vintage chronographs I also thoroughly enjoy is the better match between movement and case sizes. My Minerva 13-20, even if much newer would be of a similar vein. ...
Dear KM, thats a sharp looking Minerva!
And the stingray strap goes well with the color of the dial and your shirt 🥂. Agreed with you on the case size, the thickness too, dress shirt friendly proportion.
Awesome Minerva Vintage + great Stingray strap matching !!
And last but not least, a cool & a bit hilarious shirt ! Well done, Bravo !! 🙂👍
Hmmhh.. Let me see of how to play..
Polaris Geographic - really makes me dream of distant places PP Aquanaut 5167 has become one of my most worn - a real „universal“ watch, which is a chic „workhorse“.. JLC „The Shark“ Ref 2643, World Timer Chrono Has a bewithching charm for me.. Well, you ...
Hello my dear friend HS! Your entries never dissapóint my friend. Superb choices. I see that we not only share the taste for similar watches in our collections but also share the pleasure...
... of changing watches every day of the week. I didn´t remember you owned a Futurematic. What a beautiful charming timepiece! I never had the chance of finding one for my collection but if I ever Your picture of the Aquanaut inspired me to get mine from ...
Charming pieces all, HS!
That Porthole Futurematic is future-matic even today - love that! And it seems world times were strong this week, summer holiday planning in progress? 😊
Thx for the kind comment, dear K !
And indeed, this E 502 Porthole is a somewhat eclectic piece, but with lots of cool charm, IMHO. Guess, needs even a bit more wrist-time, maybe.. . As per the summer vacations, it’s still some weeks, until our yearly Southern country-part will be enjoyed....
I like all of your choices …
And I completely agree with you about the Aquanaut 5167. It’s so easy to enjoy. Best regards Captain
Kind thx for your nice words !.. And Yes,..
.. my PP Aquanaut more and more gets to my most-worn choices - It’s chic, unibtrusive, but cool & versatile. For me this 5167 meanwhile is one of my most appreciated choices ( although there are still „tons of“ other compelling PP pieces.. 😉🙂 And have a g...
A mixture of surfaces in 2 indies over Thu and Fri
Thu with the Holthinrichs RAW Ornament : a mix of polished and raw surfaces from the 3d printed case and crown And Fri with the Laine V38. A mix of guilloche and frosted surfaces on the dial Both are 38mm time-only but quite different in style, good for d...
Torsti is open to diacussions
There are many many options, and there's the option of getting a spare dial as well to swap (something I seriously considered)
Two beautiful watches you are sharing dear NT931. I love in both the use of polished and frosted surfaces. Two different characters are good for different moods as you well say.
Not easy to choose just one, but as I die for Breguet numbers on a beautiful dial the Laine makes me fall in love with it. Keep enjoying your beauties so much my friend. Hagwe! Abel
Thank you dear friends!
And for those considering or awaiting the Laine V38, you will not regret it at all! The watch is a joy to wear - fits well on the wrist, and is a visual pleasure from front and back, and excellent value. Plus Torsti is a very nice chap to work with.
Two absolutely superb watches with sublime character !!
From the two, especially the Laine is a compelling piece ! - Continue to enjoy both in the Best of your health !! Cheers !!
The serially produced concept watch 🙌🏻👌🏻
Always a great choice and I guess many of us miss the freshness of Magali Metrailler 😊
Going Japanese - I really think so!
Hi All Been fairly restrained in what I've worn this week, mainly these two. G-Shock - get a blast of sun & recharging it's battery. Been looking at changing straps this week - but beginners error, forgot Seiko spring bars are a tad thicker than normal, s...
Thank you for your entry dear JML! Two great choices you share. I also been playing with straps for my Williard Seiko this week. It´s true that Seiko uses are very thick.
Seiko is a brand I love so much. Have a nice weekend my friend. Abel
Wonderful, summery pair!
Out of curiosity, is the Urushi still the constant companion on the other wrist? 😊
Two watches for me…
This one while taking a road trip through northern Michigan… And the “new guy” the last few days since returning. ...
Two great choices RabidManatee! I´m very fond of my Explorer as well and when I wear it I keep on my wrist for several days. I´m happy to know you are enjoying your Reverso...
... so much. I understand that you have missed so much during his stay at the spa! Keep enjoying your watches so much. Hagwe! Abel
Thank you! Fortunately it was I who went away, not the watch!
I just stuck to the Explorer while driving and walking around Mackinac Island and some more of Michigan. That’s quite a weekly rotation you’ve got there, Sir! Enjoy!
Ahhh! Thank you for the clarification!! I thought you had sent your Reverso to a service! Lol! I understand you: when I travel I miss my watches so much! It´s a joy to return and reunite with them!
The Explorer is an ideal watch for that kind of trips you mention. A rugged, reliable and beautiful classic design. Keep enjoying your watches so much RabidManatee! Cheers! Abel
Both look very good …
Personally, I really enjoy an Explorer every time I have one on my wrist. Have a great weekend !
