The year was 2015, I was taking a brief mental break at my office and perusing the 'new arrivals' section of a local unscrupulous grey dealer when my heart stopped upon seeing none other than a Lange 1 101.027x staring back at me... or was it? Upon closer...  

… these are thrilling moments our horological passion reserves to us sometimes. Steel case in a Lange 1 is truly a Devilish detail!! Thank you so much for sharing it ! Hagwe! Abel

Lots of details inside this dial imho A watch with very sexy lugs , main reason I bought it back then Hagwe ...  

It is true that the DB has some unique lugs which add to the charm of this classy watch. The Akrivia dial got a truly mesmerizing dial: a joy to view. Great entry my friend. Thank you! Hagwe! Abel

Fixed lugs, no HEV, less text on the dial, thinner, less depth..... soooo manily details 😁 ...  

...  

I can well imagine you are enjoying them so much. Thank you for your entry! Hagwe! Abel

For me its the centre hands column of the PP, and the sapphire halo of the speedy (rather controversial, I know!).

... saphire from the hesalite models. Controversial yes, but this is a very special detail for sure. Cheers! Abel

Patek is soooo nice...

Many thanks!

For a new watch, I love the detail of the Maltese Cross on the column wheel of my CDV. (Sorry, I know Abel also showed the lugs on his CDV, but I figure it’s a great watch so ok to show twice.). For an old watch, I love the patina on an old GP that belong...

Great details on rotor and dial of your GS. I’m a fan of GS and they know how to pay attention to details! Lovely patina on your Explorer indexes!! Hagwe! Abel

You are sharing some truly devilish details from your watches. Handsets shapes, colors, small references to the past accomplishments done by a model, inscriptions, everything adds to the charm and the joy of having them on our wrist and in our collections... 

You can hear it ticking from miles away ;-))

Lovely watches and equally impressive photography. Am curious what camera/lenses you use.

I used my iPhone for the photos.

Those are effin' devilish! Great theme this week Abel! ...  

Well… they hurt when our watch receives them but then the become part of their story! Glad you like the theme and thank you for your participation! Hagwe! Abel

… a few years ago to return to the thick orange GMT hand on their revision of the Explorer 2. You perfectly captured this devilish detail to perfection. Viewing from that angle shows the beauty of this detail. Thank you for your entry! Hagwe! Abel

Apologies as I may have previously posted one of these. Nonetheless, it is these details that drive this insanity (following up on the symmetry of crew threads from a previous post..). Have a great weekend everyone ...

… and hands set of your Avantgarde Raketa! Actually I love the complete watch! Interesting detail the Launcher bezel ! Great Devilish detail! And the Indicator handset is really superb. Great selection of Devilish details my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel

I really like the Raketa Space Launcher, made from an actual Soyuz rocket. I feel the need to find one 🤔 Have you visited the Cosmonaut museum in Moscow ?

The Moscow Cosmonaut museum I only visited briefly but have spent a lot of time in the refurbished Kaluga Space Museum and a day in the Star City, the training center for all cosmonauts outside of Moscow 👍🏻

Which did you think was the most interesting ?

it's a fantastic selection of watches you've presented with their awesome details! some of the favourites in my collection will be... the crown on the crystals (6 o'clock position) of my Daytona and Hulk... and the Omega sign in the middle of the plexigla...

Excellent photos and great detail !

I found a map to confirm that the details on the Omega Seamaster Worldtimer are roughly lined up, haha. We are going on a road trip tomorrow from San Francisco Bay Area to Santa Barbara, L.A. and San Diego. This watch will be on my wrist for the next 11 d...  

It’s always a pleasure to host WS. I also own a Seamaster WT and testify the beauty and devilish detail of its stunning dial. Absolutely agree with your comments on his watch. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it so much during your trip. Great choice! Hagwe! Abel ... 

It is wonderful that we both own this Worldtimer. Have a very nice weekend 😊

I head it up by Abels reply to get details outside the dial of a watch. Well, disliked or liked by many, the helium escape valve at 10 0’clock by Omega is an original detail for sure. I am in the club who like it. Use it while my watch sees no water at al...
