As announced, the theme of this week’s WS will be ‘No Sports’. As the watch industry is tirelessly churning out sports and tool watches and promoting them equally strongly, the now less popular relatives, which apart from gracing the wrist and telling the...
I´m always biassed when your 5110 is present, you know... but those JLC, GP and Lange watches are really stunning. Awesome shots as usual my friend. Have a great week end! Abrazos desde las muy calientes Pampas! Abel
In order to celebrate the ban of Aquanauts and Nautili from this thread, I just created a new collage of my latest 3 (also, favorite 3) Pateks to date They belong to Patek's so-called "rare handcraft" collection, as we already had a chance to discuss exte...
This should work out perfectly: MSC Cruises came back to Mrs. NickO in late December and put the project she’s discussing with them on hold until the summer, as they are having some internal issues right now integrating their newly acquired offices. Appar...
You have certainly grown your collection since we last saw each other 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 The Pano, Breguet and JLC certainly seem recent - and you are right, the topic is not at all difficult for you 😊

for the music, my Friend! Well, the Jlc Master Moon and the Breguet is new, also the GO 1845 Zeigerdatum. My small collection grows nowadays with sporty watches, according to the trend...
Its great to have you “hosting & posting” ... My RD is cherished piece as it was a gift from Mrs Cpt Scarlet some years ago. I love the numerals on the dial and the grand style. Not an everyday watch, but that’s the point. Kind regards The Captain ...
... much enjoyment when wearing them on our wrists during our daily tasks or in certain special events when a formal timepice is required. I will play with a few of mine below... Have a beautiful week end my dear friend KM and all friends here!! Cheers! A...
My current work is making it hard to be here more often 🤷🏻♂️ As for the VC, I find it one of their best recent offerings and was super chuffed that I got it last year. The FM was the penultimate addition last year and adds a bit of fun 😉
Here are a few for your WS. Not only sports-averse; I wouldn’t wear them if I was mincing garlic. You can speculate all you want about why I might need garlic. ...
Or to keep the Vlad away from flying off with your watches? Some superb shots you have there! Didn’t know you had a Casablanca and that Grönefeld is recent, too, right? How are you doing otherwise?
A Felix, and then we got wedding anniversary watches made by them - an Erwin for the better half and a deadbeat seconds foudroyante for me 😊 The Felix is in my opening post here, the other two below: ...
What is the significance of the stylized red hashes at the 11 o’clock? I have my guesses but I’d love to hear the actual reason. I too would love a jumping seconds foudroyante!
Great theme this week and I think I may have a couple “winners” for consideration. First is the Bulova Accutron Astronaut () with the iconic 214 “tuning fork” battery operated movement. This 14k beauty with enhanced dial (applied markers) and “fork second...
. . . but this dial variation is rare. If I find another, I'll let you know - it would be a grand addition to your collection. All's well here, Abel - relaxing at home with my folks the last few days. Hope all's well with you and your family. Best, Art
... down here with much work at office and a very hot Summer. I never have seen a Marine Omega in the metal. Interesting to know that they are not so rare- I´ m not familiar with the differences between the I and II models. Will try to search information ...
[watch and photo credit: Jeviar / WPS] . . . and was one of the first, if not the first, functional diving watches ever made, starting in 1932. Several years later Omega created a waterproof line with the same name. Collectors differentiate between them b...
I knew about the first model as the first @diving watch@ from Omega with its curious but very clever double case system. Does the model II employ same system? We learn something every day my friend!! Best! Abel
. . . similar. This pic from Omegamania of the very same reference and dial shows the 'case within a case' design. Different execution from the original Marine, but not in principle. Best, Art ...
