We never know what to expect with you Geo...
but we always know that it will be something special...what a beauty ! That moonphase is simply breathtaking.... HAGWE Jeff
Thank you Jeff
Glad you appreciate a watch like that. I really like 'different time reading' models. GEO
lovely cartier Geo. 1 hand can do so many things
can i clarify please, is that a day/night indicator or a moonphase? best Graham
One hand can sure do so many things
Hi Graham, Thanks! You're very right, it's just a Day & Night indictor, no moon phase. Ciao. GEO
Sarpaneva K1 ..... what else :)
On my wrist is this beauty that hasn't left my wrist since i got it. There is always something new to see and she wears soooooo comfortable...
Hope to see a shot of the reverse side of the watch
one day. The back is as stunning as the front. very nice Frank! GEO
Yep!
That rotor looks so good. IMHO The whole thing turns around, not just the lower part, that makes it so different. Very cool watches these Sarpaneva K2 and K3. GEO
Caseback.... your wish is my command ;-)
The rotor is fully skelletonized and Sarpaneva used 2 white gold masses at one end of the rotor, leaving a small gap in between. He also drilled a hole in the mainplate, right underneath the date window... and since the datewheel is a disc with hand cut n...
Amazing rotor
Yes George... the rotor is all round and moves due to the two white gold masses
the attention to detail on just the K1's rotor is amazing.
a hole in the rotor behind the date is such a simple solution to improve its clarity yet so effective. Graham
Something with more emotional than monetary value
One of the many great memories from my years in Russia today; the investment actually doubled when I put a nice calf strap on it The "Flying tank" from Aviator on the wrist today. Have a good weekend! Regards Mark...
Correct
You are correct - it is an alarm watch. Crown at 4 o'clock is used for winding / setting the time, crown at 2 o'clock is used for winding / setting the alarm. regards Mark
your close up shows a very good level of finish on the dial Mark
i think Russian watches are very under rated the same as some of the better chinese brands. what does the alarm sound like in comparison to a Seiko bellmatic or JLC? best Graham
The weekend with a "cool" watch.
My Hublot Ice Bang will be my companion for this weekend. Regards, Gerard...

not a very flattery picture with these corroded hands, still one of my fave pieces. Took me a long time to find the correct 7836 bracelet (from 1971)...
O&W and JLC
I started the day early with my Ollech & Wajs MP2801 The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Taille tonight...
Your O & W is a rare sighting on this forum . . .
. . . would you be able to tell us a little about the company and why this watch appeals to you? Thanks, Art
O&W
Ollech & Wajs were established in 1956 by Albert Wajs and Joseph Ollech. They mainly made divers and pilotwatches, not very expencive, but with relable robust movements. O&W closed down about 1980. In 1979 Albert Wajs bought 500 cases and parts from Willy...
Never heard about, but ...
sounds interesting. Will have to do some research on this I love this "hobby", because you never know what comes around ... Thanks! Oliver
Grazi, deBalzac . . .
. . . I was familiar with the brand, but my sense is that relatively few on TP/PPro had heard of them . . . your comments are much appreciated. Cordially, Art

Terrific acquisition, Andrew . . .
. . . and in impeccable condition, too. I think you might have company from our East Coast today with another recently acquired vintage Longines . . . cordially, Art
It’s nice to be surprised …
Thanks Art, I have a short-list of vintage pieces I keep my eye out for, but this Longines was an unexpected find. It was an immediate attraction though when I got that tingly feeling that this was something I could enjoy. One of the nicest things about i...
:-) This watch will always be my sentimental favorite...
...from your collection, Andrew! HAGWE! Daos
I am speechless
These Speake Marin's have such a great appeal. What an incredible watch this is. Geo
Retro industrial meats high art
Thanks LVT, I am very impressed with this. It is channelling some of the rawness in design of the early Journe tourbillons but is beautifully finished. You are going to have to show us many more photos of this. Thanks again! Andrew
Absolutely stunning!!
Usually i'm no keen on visible tourbillons, but this is one of the most beautiful examples i've ever seen! Congrats
I'm having one of those rare moments where . . .
. . . prior preferences, predilections, and prejudices get thrown out window! I've never been aesthetically drawn to Peter's work before, although I greatly admire his accomplishments, and I've never found this genre of design (let's call it the 'Breguet'...
Actually, I agree, Art …
I have also admired PSM’s work, but very few models/versions have actually sparked that feeling of wanting to own it one day. This tourbillon is in a whole other category. Still not certain about the crown, although it is an obvious signature for th...

Nice Lange 1 series, Edwin ...
... but the moonphase has been a long time favourite and you captured it beautifully. Nice shirt too. It is a rose gold case? Andrew
What a Lange 1 Family, Edwin!
It was a long time I didn't have the pleasure to view your pics and your impeccable taste in ...Shirts! )) Best, my friend. Nico
Edwin....nice,nice L1.
Edwin, From your pictures....tell me you are a Lange's big fan.I am one like you,share with you my favourite double, Hope you like it. BHK9...
Very nice combination
Hi Oliver, you always have such a great taste for combining objects and clothes. The watch fits the shirt perfectly. GEO
Just call it ...
a "fetish" for beautiful things ... and you are probably not that different ... Thanks for your kind words. Oliver
Hey, Davo...
we missed you in the land of the rising sun! Where were you, man? Nice pic - the desat worked perfectly for that shot! TM
Nicolas you're killing me
with that shot, this is the first and only Lange watch that I absolutely adore. And in platinum, what a watch. S t u n n i n g shot! GEO
Agreed, Geo
I know your tastes for original and technical watches, so this Zeitwerk may seem made for you! Best, Nicolas
one of the best pictures I have seen of this watch ...
did you order the LE PT model Nicolas? Edwin
but your AD has one reserved for you
or not? If not I would give him a call immediately! Edwin
Ah, Nicolas, just visit your banker . . .
. . . with Consiglieri Patrice on your left and Don Asi on your right . . . the money will be yours, no questions asked! Cordially, Art
that is a beautiful watch Nicolas. the 1st on my list of dream lange's
i've always said that if i won the lottery anyone could give me a brand and i could name the 1 watch i would want to buy. this would be the lange for me. best Graham
cool Nic!
Yup, it's confirmed, you're a bad influence to me! Now I couldn't stop thinking about this watch! That watch looks d**m cool on your wrist my friend! To be honest, when I first saw the pix, it didn't really strike me much, but I think it a watch which gro...
Yes Nic but I was waiting for the subsequent answers from
you which never came? Pls check again pal. Mech.
Ooooh! Yes!
Nicolas, please pick this one up so I can live vicariously through you! I really enjoy this piece. Although, I prefer the WG version over the platinum (in pictures at least). This watch has a unique and marvelous dial. Love it! Cheers, Daos
Well, I can send you my bank account, Sister
Seriously, I will also have to see it in WG, with this black dila, to have an opinion about it... Best, Daos. Nicolas
Very nice indeed Nicolas. However, I am going to wait for
the 24 h dial varion. Best! -- Richard.
