Great guess ...
For a great watch.

I was thinking in waiting for:
a) Impossible dream: SS C-Shaped Constellation with all original. (Black dial?)
b) Simple: Planet Ocean. I had one (removed from my hands) and, If I remember, it was a great beater. I hear great things about the new movement.
All in all, I'm on a phase that I already got my "must have" ones.
Now is a more pleasant phase, the selective one.
And, this is my goal, limit the number of watches to ten.
Cheers,
Nilo

Old friends...
How about dedicate this Friday to old friends?! Here are two of my old friends... ...with new shoes! HAGWE Blomman...
My old friend ...
... the watch i wore the first time i met another (older than me) friend in Paris ... HAGWE all ... PS. I like your friends more than mine Blommie !!!! Bim...
Beautiful friend, Bim! :)
Your friends are my friends - especially the one in Paris... HAGWE Blomman
And i just have a brilliant idea ....
... since our next gtg is again in Paris ... ... but the one after that in Champagne-region !!!!! We can all get drunk and wake up without a headache !!!
thats a nice classic 60's Alpina Bim. a bombproof beater in its day
it may not have a name known by everyone, but it is still a great vintage piece. best G
Nice friend! :)
The Salmon dial is stunning! 8 years… How much is that in watch years..? The Reverso GT has been with me for 12 years now..! It still makes me happy! Especially this year when JLC launched so many beautiful Reverso’s… Trying to fill the ...
12 years, that means a lot, my friend.
Remarkable. As for the week end, we'll see if it is good, or not, but I have strong hopes. All the best, Nicolas
My heart beats so fast every time I view that salmon dial!...
... what a marvelous watch Nicolas! Can easily understand your 8 years friendship! Un abrazo, mi amigo! Abel.
You've managed to capture a harmonious match . . .
. . . between both the color of the dial and the tiles on the roof as well as the fluted case and the shape of the tiles. Powerful imagery, Nicolas . . .
This is just a lucky shot.
I wanted a colorful picture, taken under the italian light, and I luckily got it... Best, and thanks for your kind comments, Art. Il Consigliere.
We have very similar tastes
Nicolas, Everytime you post your Breguet it feels like a second child for me. First, your pictures of this watch are always outstanding. Second, the story you posted in the past of finding this baby is what in my mind makes it so special. The third watch ...
Not commonly seen, indeed.
But very nice and somehow understated, Joe. I love what you said about the scratches on your watch. They are truly the witnesses of our common life with our tic tacs. Enjoy yours, my friend. Best, nicolas
Wow
Then I feel like a youth when I'm in this company. Fantastic nice dial Hagwe Anders
That is the secret of my eternal youth, indeed. :)
Thank you so much for your kind comment, Anders. Best, Nicolas.
Don't have the VC anymore,
As it has been part of the stolen watches. But, for the souvenir, here is an old picture of a happy duo: Best, Damien. Nicolas...
Sorry I didn't know it was part of the dastardly act
But thanks very much for the pic. These are real beauties.
Thanks, my friend. Aaah, by the way...
There is something for you on the HoMe forum... A Breitling Roll Call. Best, nicolas
My wife's bitter ...
Just a little fun this week, so the focus is on the beer. But both (my wife and the watch) are old friends ... This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2012-03-01 13:50:11...
We never got to The Quiet Women ...
But I hope we can one day. Perhaps you can suggest they import this award-winning ale? Andrew
Remind me to take you there on your next visit . . .
. . . to our shores, Andrew. It's a hop, skip, and a jump away from the seaside dive bar. Btw, there's practically nothing on the menu that isn't prepared with garlic, so be forewarned . [Actually, this photo is from an English pub of the same name, and a...
Just wait. I have another beer appropriate ...
... for the King of Darkness. It's raining here this weekend so sipping red wine rather than drinking beer, but I will try and get a shot this weekend. Stay thirsty. A
Nice watches and nice subject for this Friday...
You made me ask myself if a good friendship can turn in true love. This is a good example: a faithful silent friend which accompanies me for 35 years, since it was brand new. We both turned vintage together! More than friendship, I call it Love!...
Thank you Blomman! Yes, bought brand new on February 1977...
... You may read it story in a post made some weeks ago. My only watch during many, many years, and used 24 hours. My favorite watch as you may understand. It´s truly Love. Best cordial regards, Abel.
One of my few regrets in life . . .
. . . was parting with the Rolex AirKing that was my sole watch for fifteen years. I'd be on my second quarter-century of ownership had I held onto it. Sadder, but hopefully wiser, Art
I hope your Air King led to a new and more interesting ...
... new friend on your wrist Art. That´s life! Best thing is that these sour experiences make us wiser. (I hope too!) Have a nice week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
Nice to know Jed! Why not show it here? Rolex is a part of my life since I was ...
... a young lad! No need to say, it´s my favorite brand. Best cordial regards, Abel.
By the way Blomman... these two friends of yours are so beautiful...
... I know that my first Reverso will be on my wrist very soon. Enjoy the company of your nice friends! Cordial regards, Abel.
Thank you, Abel!
So, you will join the Reverso family soon?! May I ask which one you will go for? There are so many different sizes... jlc.watchprosite.com Best Blomman
Oh yes, I´m eagerly waiting for it...
... 1931 Grande Red dial. Can´t wait to have it on my hands... errr... on my wrist!! Cordial regards, Abel.
Yes? The Red Dial? Excellent choice, my friend.
The first pieces should land soon, now. A question of weeks, but it is available at the Boutiques, only. Best, Nicolas
Hello Nicolas! I´m happy you approve my choice!...
... My niece, who lives in Milano, went to the recently opened Boutique there, and having heard me talking about the new model got one for me as a present. She is bringing it to me when she visits in first days of April. It was going to be a surprise, but...
Well, you will be the first to show this Red Dial, here! Bravo!
Very kind niece you have,here... Un Abrazo, amigo. Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas! It will be my pleasure...
... let´s see everything runs well with this present. Yes, she is a wonderful young lady. She married a Milano young man, and had a "Milano baby" last year. We miss her a lot, but fortunately can visit two or three times a year. Will be a pleasure to...
Fiera di Parma...
Well, that may be a possibility... Will be in Italy next August... Best, Amigo de la Pampa. Nicolas
Hola Nicolas! Gracias, bueno, seguramente en Paris o en Parma, nos veremos...
... I have much ilusion to visit you in Paris next April, but business here are much complicated lately. Can´t confirm yet, but in one or other way, we will meet, I´m sure. Parma could be another possibility, but Paris will always be my port of ...
Hello Moc! I hope you will enjoy and make a report here ...
... To share your experience at Parma! They make two editions, one in March and another in September. I wish to assist next September. Thank you! Kind regards Abel
Red dial..?! :)
That is my choice for this year as well! Hope you get yours soon! Best Blomman
Yes blomman! My niece called me from Milano today, just from the JLC ...
... Boutique. They promised the watch for first weeks of April. They are receiving just 20 pieces, and she is 6th in the list. This will be my first Reverso, and I m so excited! Loved the red dial as shown in past Purists presentation! Just a touch of lit...
Hello again Blomman! Just to tell you ...
.... that I followed the link to your post about reversos. I enjoyed so much reading your text, and the comments of other fellow Purists, and viewing those great pictures. It surely shows your passion for this model. Your post just fired my ansiety to hav...
You like.. :)
Thank you, Able! Yes, the Reverso - when I have closed the Memovox theme... The R's will be my target! Best Blomman
Thank you again! Yes, JLC has so many attractive themes! ...
... It makes it difficult to focus in them all! Have a nice week end Blomman! Kind regards Abel.
The survivor / Le survivant ...
This one survived a robbery. It was the only one left behind. I love this watch and I'm searching for one in Titanium to make a pair. But life goes on and I'm also in love with the Type XX and the U.F.O. crystal. Blomman you had a great idea for this week...
I am happy this one stayed with you, Nilo!
A great watch! So, making "the Pair"? Will you go for the Grey or the Green..?! HAGWE Blomman
Are you sure..? ;)
I had the same thinking, but not long ago I had the chance to try the Green -R version... Oh, so nice on the wrist! Bigger then the normal AMVOX version... Best Blomman
Yes, I'm sure.
The green is far too big for my wrist. Beautiful but not for me. Cheers Nilo
This Amvox One is a superb watch, Nilo.
Will go to the safe, this week end, to give it some real wrist time, in your honor. Here is mine: Best, Nicolas....
I'm craving for the Ti version ...
Of this beauty. Thanks for the honor, Nicolas. Cheers, Nilo
My guess is that if you had to pare the collection . . .
. . . down to one watch, this Amvox would be the sole survivor yet again . . .
Not sure ...
Recently I'm attracted to the force (Omega). After my post I was thinking about my essentials watches and Omegas are on the top of my list. Design, precision, maintainability etc. Guess what watch I'm wearing now? Cheers, Nilo
Great guess ...

i am a lucky man Blomman, we all are.
to own watches we love and to also have the friendship of forum members. we are lucky indeed. best G
Mine's in for service . . .
. . . so it's comforting to see yours on display. Boy, did we ever hit the jackpot last year with these marvels! . . .
Even new friendship may feel...
like an old friend when the match is right... Like in this case! Best Blomman
a lovely Connie calendar Kyle
there are so many lovely Omega's that are out of my 1964 theme. i have been lucky enough to own a lot of them in the past, but if i open up a new theme it will be Omega's without a doubt, perhaps one of each movement from mid 50's to early 70's. best G
Thanks guys!
Don't know why but somehow I find the 50s more attractive... I need a 500, 502, 503 to complete the 50X movements but I just realized I finished the 35X bumpers!
err ....Agent T. I'll refer you to Horogasm for that :-)
He'll be able to give you bigger and blingier ones LOL
Nah... his way is too loud. I can't stand screams.
I prefer your classics than antigua. LOL;-) Regards Tyler
Pseudo OLD
Does this qualify as OLD This is the oldest looking I have ........ Onward to a Pre-V logo (.......now that would qualify !) Ps. I need a polarizer real bad...
I have known this 2 particular friends for more than 32 years now.
Few pics of watches belonging to both of them. Good friends last a long time, probably until i go six feet under. Both are now residing with their families and working in SG. We have been through many good times together. A bit about both of them. Just a ...
Ah, . . .
. . . literal friends watches, and not watches that are 'friends'. I like the sentiment! Cordially, Art
