Xmas Wrist Scan session: If you were to gift a watch...

 
By: amanico : December 22nd, 2016-10:17
Which one would it be? In fact some moderators asked me to post " If you were to gift a watch to Nicolas, which one would it be ". I prefer my version, as for myself the answer is evident... JLC Duometre à Chronographe. So, gales and guys, it is up to you...  

Swatch sistem 51......

lots of them , to my extended family Great thread Nico. Best Regards Edward

Well, if I were to gift a watch to you from my collection . . .

 
By: Dr No : December 22nd, 2016-10:35
. . . it would have to be . . . . . . Black Connie. Not just because it's the one I know you love most . . . it's also the one I love most. ...  

You've heard of 'love at first sight'? Well, it was that way . . .

 
By: Dr No : December 22nd, 2016-12:31
. . . with Black Connie. And the feeling keeps growing with the years. Merry Christmas, blomman! Art

In all my years of following Omega . . .

. . . I may have seen one (or possibly two) just like it, Abel. What I wouldn't give to find one of the rare white gold models with the same engraved black dial . . .

Agree that it is a rare bird. I own just a few Connies, and all are charming...

 
By: Subexplorer : December 23rd, 2016-10:33
... yours is a most beautiful variation indeed! Keep loving and enjoying it so much dear Art! Merry Christmas my friend! Abel.

Easy one :)

If I were to gift a watch to Nicolas...then it would need to be this one: If I were to receive a gift (we know Santa lives in Sweden), then this one: If I would be able to make a gift to myself, then this one: Happy Holidays! CC ...

... I love to gift watches to my son. He really appreciate them. This year I gifted him an Spectre SM300 and a FOIS Speeedy. If Santa would read my letter sent to his home at the North Pole he will know that I´m a man with simple tastes and very easy to p...  

There can't be a finer material gift to give a son . . .

. . . (or a father!) than a family watch. Earlier this year, one of my friends gave his early '70s 1675 Pepsi to his son. The son asked him a casual question about the watch; he spontaneously took it off his wrist and handed it over. What a memory his son... 

Completely agree dear Art! Yes, these are memories to be kept forever...

Nico, For very long I've been loving your comments, most;y on the PP forum. (To use modern lingo, I "follow"& "like" Nico) If I had to guess your top gift wish, I would have either guessed the PP world timer or a three hand piece of perfection. I've recen... 

Thank you so much for your very kind words, my friend. The Patek WT, I already own it for almost 13 years, now, the 5110P.

 
By: amanico : December 23rd, 2016-23:50
I always have some place for a three hand piece of perfection... Such as a chronometer, or an amagnetic watch, or both, for example. Or another fine chronograph, modern or vintage... I didn't pay much attention to Seiko, I have to confess, so I would have... 

Hmmmm

I have humble wishes. The watch I would love to receive would be a memovox 875 with a blue dial, untouched from the seventies. However, if I were to gift a watch, I would locate the prototype that was taken away from him, mercilessly fistfight for its own...
