WS of the weekend of Dec. 4 starts now - for the last month of the year.
Although I am not sure which one will be my last acquisition this year, this is certainly one of the highlights of the year. SS Grand Seiko first - not officially documented (Seiko is really poor at keeping records), this is certified genuine Grand Seiko ...
A new Seiko SARX029 came my way this year . . .
. . . around the same time as . . . . . . the apricot handle cue. Both are in this video. "What puts the 'ape' in apricot?" Other Class of '15 inductees will be posted later after fresh photos are taken. Art ...
Beautiful watch dear Art! I feel I need a Seiko in my collection!! May be in 2016!...
... beautiful cue to boot! Enjoy both in good health my friend!1 All the best Hagwe! Abel.
Made the same shot Thursday . . .
. . . in more dramatic fashion, with just enough energy on the cue ball to sink the 8 after lapping the table on three banks! My favorite, though, is the one-bank kick on a ball . . . Escape from Alcatraz . . . frozen to a rail. That one drives opponents ...
Like the SARX029 more and more with every post
Has a very quiet but long lasting appeal IMHO. Cool pic, too
I'm not into limited editions generally . . .
. . . but when they're restricted to the number of dials an urushi artisan can produce, and affordable (which is not the same as attainable!), how can one say 'no'? My only quibble is that it's a bit too large for aesthetic comfort. I wouldn't wear it wit...
One my hits of the year ...
My Speedmaster Gemini 4 commemorative. Limited, hard to find. I'm glad that the seller offered it to me. Hard to capture the blue tones of the dial. Photos from today's morning. The B&W side of this morning A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo ...
A limited edition from 2005, commemorating . . .
. . . the Gemini IV mission. One of the lesser known Speedmasters, and a personal favorite, too. Art
I have a friend ...
That beats this number (Moon, Space etc.), by one or more orders of magnitude!!! Cheers, Nilo
Less ... much less ...
Than I want. Now serious: To answer your question requires visits to some dungeons where they are protected by vicious guards. One day I will do the count. Cheers, Nilo
Never seen it in blue
Very nice, really pops out with the sunshine in the second picture
Not the latest but the frequent flier
It would not be the latest acquisition, in fact I got it last year. Still, it acompanied me as a daily wearer over large parts of the year and even if it finds its lace on the wrist less often now than in the first nine months of the year, it is still a p...
My horological year was mainly about servicing my watches...
I will not complain as I found with a lot of happiness these lovely ones... HAGWE, All. Nicolas ...
lucky repair people
These are some of my favorites of all time and a certain salmon colored dial!! Best to all, Tim
Still have my JLC Geophysic to get back from the watchmaker...
And for the first time in my collectors life, I will get all of them! Till next year, as I still have many to service. The cost is pretty high, which substantially affects my watch budget, I must say. But the pleasure to have all these beauties in good sh...
Hi Nicolas!! I´m so glad you will have all your horological family reunited again!...
You point a very important and interesting aspect of our hobby/passion which is little discussed among us: the maintenance required by the watches in our collection and the high cost and its incidence in our budget of this most important matter. As you we...
I know what you mean and how you feel....
.. servicing vintage pieces are very different from servicing the modern ones. Great collection. Ken
You seem to have a preference for a particular strap type, no? ;)
Given how all the pictures watches have it Lovely collection!
Each time you add a vintage it really looks it is the result of a long maturation and research process
The 2 first ones and especially the 2nd with all the charming writings, the shades of grey, the nice condition with its patina... it is beautiful. Congratz again. Cheers, Mark
Well, these first 2 DSAs are special juwels.. Captivating, mesmerizing mermaids..
.. & the SuperOcean is a special Beast, dramatic & eclectic with strong appeal ! And well, the Milspec a marvel, anyway.. I guess, alone with these uber-cool ones, guess. your heart has rejoiced, once they come back in new grandeur & shine.. And true, at ...
I could have included a few more, indeed.
Such as the Geophysic, in service right now, your intuition is right, there may be a " new " watch before the end of this year. Next year will be the same problem. I fear I will have to save for 6 or 7 more watches to service. And so on... But I hope to b...
My Sinn 657 continues to be....
my daily beater. I must say it is keeping good time throughout the whole year HAGWE Edward ...
That's the spirit! Reliability, daily beater, durability....
I am happy for you owning such a reliable piece. Great watch! Ken
You have an eagle eye my friend.....
the ausschmucken goes well with an european made watch!!! Cheers Edward
:)
While German is my most frequently used language these days, it completely fails me in the \'ausschmücken\' type activity vocabulary The beauty of PuristSPro is that one learns about the most unplanned things
A couple of "Golden Oldies" I managed to acquire this year.
They've gotten very little wrist time recently for reasons that have been the subject of numerous recent posts. But I am thrilled to have added these two. Hope everyone has a great weekend! ...
You have the "good old" Lange pieces....
... and I would be very happy to own those, too! Ken
Books, booze and two Langes :)
Cannot go wrong with a combination like that! The Cabaret is slowly but surely becoming my favourite Lange.
Indeed, you have added very nice pieces to your colelction Padj this year
Always cool to admire them on the forum Cheers, Mark
This year and last year have been very focused on....
The GP Deep Diver..... And thew GP Olimpico! It has been a good year! HAGWE Blomman ...
GP is one of the most respectable brand, IMHO....
...with a long history and legendary movements, models. Great catches! Ken
Still a lot of missing pieces....
But I am working on it! Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman
What a line-up!
I must say the funky Deep Diver (very left) really impressed me on the wrist. Need to find me one
For sure you need one, CC! ;)
Your Deep Diver collection needs one of these for sure! Best Blomman
LOL! Some say tometo some say tomato....! ;)
With focus comes commitment, determination and hunting, my friend! BEst Blomman
Kaaboomm !.. What a lineup, my friend !.. Would be happy with each or every of this super quintet !.. Maybe no2 from right ?? ;))
.. But I know, I know.. The shop, that never sells ! Best, hs
Of the Sea Hawk or the Olimpico...? ;)
Thank you, my friend. You know the rule, once in, never..... Best Blomman
Interesting and beautiful theme dear Blomman! and...
great watches to enjoy!! Hagwe my friend!! Abel.
Yes, still miss some references....
But that will not stop me from starting to look into new themes...! Best Blomman
I cut back this year
But I found two great pieces for me. And thanks go to Purists here. Hagwe Joe ...
Very interesting and beautiful entries Joe
Especially this VC about which I posted the picture of a "cousin" lately (if I'm not wrong). Cheers, Mark
Still trying to find this Last Watch for 2015
Looking for a pretty serial number. I know...I know...I should have grabbed one as soon as it was launched but procrastination is my downfall. I'm not really into Chinese numerology or 'fung sui' so you would think it can't be that difficult. There are no...
Nice ...
I need to add, next year - this year I'm done, a Chopard to my stable. Cheers, Nilo
Alas, both those numbers are gone....but maybe things are looking up
I never expected the usual Chinese 888 to be available; I did not ask for it because I'm not so fixated on numerology. I used to collect #4 of limited editions because it was the only number not popular in Singapore and Japan. I had less competition from ...
