WS for the 4th of January - New Horizons - begins now

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-07:16
As announced yesterday, the topic of the first WS of the year will be New Horizons. You are free to interpret what this means for you but could be a new life phase, horological new year’s resolutions, new incomings, new collecting topics, or if none of th...  

Hmm, New Horizons? Does that mean "change"?

 
 By: crown comfort : January 3rd, 2019-08:02
So maybe I could try something orange. Or maybe an Omega. Or perhaps another Rolex? A Patek, hmmm... Or even going Indie ??? Actually, I don't like change, I think I will stick to vintage and modern GPs... Cheers, CC PS: thanks to the non-GP owners for le...  

As said, for some...

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-08:20
The new horizons will be the old ones - if one is comfortable with the existing change is not strictly necessary, even if sometimes interesting in its own right 😊 Thanks for showing such a wide range of options, CC. The Doxa and the KVs I’d change into st... 

As is your endless GP collection...

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-10:01
A real treasure that one 👍🏻

I find Doxa to be such a cool brand...

 
 By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-07:49
I hope it’s on my 2019 horizon 😉

you like to play Roulette? [nt]

 
 By: crown comfort : January 4th, 2019-05:20

Great horizons! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 4th, 2019-02:23

Always love to see your GP‘s my friend, old or new.

 
 By: nitediver : January 4th, 2019-04:45
However The other watches in your post were not to bad neither.... Best wishes for a great 2019! Stefan

Many thanks, Stefan.

 
 By: crown comfort : January 4th, 2019-05:21
also the best wishes back to you, my friend. CC

Last year we saw....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 3rd, 2019-08:55
Me and my family saw a new horizon! One we very much hope to see again one day! Best wishes on your new adventure! Best Blomman ...  

OH yes!!!

Mutual feelings my friend! Cheers D

Thanks Blomman!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-09:03
That horizon looks fairly familiar, I guess - a very nice one, too As for the new adventure, I guess some good wishes I can definitely use, so thanks for those, too!

Yes, very, very nice! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 4th, 2019-02:24

Cool Sea Hawk! [nt]

Perfect environment for that Sea Hawk.

The place looks really peaceful BTW Best Stefan

Indeed, my friend! :) [nt]

Lovely shot, Desertimer!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-11:42
A new addition, theme ...?

Yes, Just arrived!

 
 By: desertimer : January 3rd, 2019-23:29
I found it few weeks ago, need some care, still working on it. But full set and the YG is so nice. I was a bit skeptic but i am in love now!

Certainly a lovely piece!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-23:33
And finding a full set is always a bonus. Looking forward to reading your impressions after you’ve had it for a while 👍🏻

YG is back I'm telling ya.!!

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 4th, 2019-02:14
Superb catch! Congrats D

Certainly seems that way!

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-10:03
Or maybe we’re just slowly entering the age cohort, where YG is the thing to wear 😉👍🏻

It certainly doesn’t lack charm...

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-23:34
Not my metal either but find myself drawn to YG watches more and more. Maybe it is getting old 😂

Most certainly not 😊

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-00:17
Nothing to worry about on that front 👍🏻

Not old; but grown up. [nt]

Now for the ultimate question, what’s the piece you have posted - never seen it before 👌🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

Need to check them out, then 👍🏻

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-03:44
Thanks for clarifying 🙏🏻

Thank you Abel..

New Horizons = Newest Watch and 1st Purchase of 2019

 
 By: reintitan : January 3rd, 2019-13:16
Ordered on January 2, 2019 and delivered on January 3rd, 2019! 😮👍🥳🎊 The unboxing... MASSIVE box with no shipping label, name or details (never seen this before). Delivered by FEDEX. I’d like to “blame” 😜 Ahoi, Abel and the other enablers on this forum for...  

Congrats, my friend! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : January 3rd, 2019-15:47

Thank you :-) [nt]

 
 By: reintitan : January 3rd, 2019-15:56

Fantastic start, Reintitan!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-19:35
And boxes within boxes... as you said, enablers aka Vlads can be very dangerous to one’s wallet but very helpful for one’s collection 😉 If I recall correctly you have more incoming by this weekend? If so, feel free to share!

Hopefully later this month, but we'll see.

 
 By: reintitan : January 4th, 2019-01:07
I still have 2 from last year pending delivery with no finalized schedule.

So in eager anticipation...

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-01:24
Similar here, one underway (albeit to the old country) and two on the cusp of getting. Can hardly wait...

Congratulation!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 4th, 2019-02:27
Yes, Ahoi and Able are dangerous guys! Best Blomman

Dangerous, or very helpful 😉

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-03:45
Depending on definition 😁

It’s all a matter of perspective 😉

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-10:06
I guess the Vlads are helpful for us while our significant others are occasionally less welcoming of the help 😂

Big truth!! Lol! [nt]

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 4th, 2019-10:14

Oh well...

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-10:20
At least adds some spice to the relationships 😂

Lol!! Sure!! [nt]

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 5th, 2019-12:54

Wow, the unboxing was a real experience...

 
 By: nitediver : January 4th, 2019-04:51
Which required patience I guess, but that’s a good virtue for us collectors Enjoy and share more pictures Stefan

Thanks Stefan

 
 By: reintitan : January 4th, 2019-10:30
Some pictures got posted in the wrong order/duplicated but I tried ;-) More pics forthcoming...

Nice unboxing!

Congrats! Cheers D

Thank you Mr. Green! [nt]

Thank your Abel for helping to push me over the edge :-)

 
 By: reintitan : January 4th, 2019-10:32
I really thought I was done with Panerai, but your photos of the 721 kept putting it in my mind until resistance was futile

Thank you for your kind words my friend Reintitan!! I´m happy to serve as inspiration to a new Pam for you. We passionate watch lovers can´t never say: I´m done! Lol!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 4th, 2019-11:20
This is a very interesting model and I´m sure that you will be enjoying and loving so much. Chers and Hagwe! Abel

Superb Panerai !...

Congratulations, enjoy !

Thanks Cpt! [nt]

Happy to contribute to your first WS from Moscow!

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 3rd, 2019-13:32
New directions. Enjoy your new digs, K. Happy New Year. ...  

Thanks Padj!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-19:41
The digs are interesting 😉 Lots more space, which we all enjoy and a slightly different taste in furniture, which makes it ‘new’. Getting settled in, although the process will really finish when our things arrive 👍🏻 Now to the watches - the UJ and Vicente... 

Nothing much to tell.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 4th, 2019-05:45
I saw them; they were very inexpensive; and they both had original boxes, one with the warranty booklet. Kind of cool. The round case piece is Swiss; I'm not sure about the shaped watch. I think it could have been assembled here in the States, using Swiss... 

A proud tradition, semi-local assembly to forego high import duties...

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-10:08
Even Philippe Dufour headed one such operation in the Caribbean earlier in his career 😉

Jules Jürgensen was bought by two American companies in a row, during the 20th Century.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 4th, 2019-12:46
At first the watches continued to be made in Switzerland at the same manufactory. At some point that ended and JJ started buying parts from various suppliers and assembling them, first in Switzerland and then in the United States. They finally went out of... 

Could be a fun entry level line, like a SUF to Sarpaneva 👍🏻

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-22:27
Thanks for the history, Padj, much appreciated!

The Black UJ!!! Wow! [nt]

 
 By: amanico : January 4th, 2019-00:34

Thanks, Nico.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 4th, 2019-05:46
I had it specially made-WG with these lugs only comes with a blue dial.

You got that right! [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 4th, 2019-12:38

Your UJ looks great..

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 4th, 2019-04:15
Happy New Year to you !

Thank you 👍 [nt]

Would like to know more and see some close ups of white dialed vintages

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : January 4th, 2019-04:59
Cheers D P.S. Are you turning vintage on me!!?

I turned vintage a long time ago.;-)

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 4th, 2019-05:50
As for collecting-no, not really. As I stated above, I just saw these at the same time and they looked like they'd be fun. You are the King of Vintage. I wouldn't dare attempt to dethrone you!

Gracias, Abel!

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 5th, 2019-05:47
And to you, amigo!

It truly is top-notch.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 5th, 2019-05:47
Thanks for looking.

I don't think so.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 5th, 2019-10:22
UJS owns rose engines, and do their own guilloche work. You know this is where KV honed his skills.

I do...

 
 By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-11:03
Yet from what I remember, his Comblemine operation supplies UJ with dials, too (amongst other, similarly reputable brands)...

I will look into this. [nt]

New horizons, horologically and geographically.

Two fantastic watches, four great shots!

 
 By: KMII : January 3rd, 2019-19:48
The first geography I do not recognise, the second you have made famous in the meantime 👍🏻 I guess the Air King is your first non-(semi)sports Rolex and the P15 the only Zenith so far? 😊

Thanks for lifting the mystery 👍🏻

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-00:43
Once seems not to have been enough in terms of my Valencia visits 😉

Some excellent photos..

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 4th, 2019-04:16
I particularly like the last one ☝️

Merci, Cpt. Me too! [nt]

For some this only happens six feet under 😉

That certainly has changed your horizons, D 😊

 
 By: KMII : January 4th, 2019-03:47
Never seen you as enthusiastic about a watch before and so consistently 👍🏻 Cool shot, too!

One can see that, Abel!

I would love it if our next home is closer to the sea 🤞🏻 Love it yet spent far too little time at / next to the sea over the last years. Got to change that.

Fantastic horizon shots, Abel! [nt]

These are a great demonstration that quartz doesn’t need to mean cheap. The zaratsu polishing, the atom clock like accuracy, the much stronger motor to move the typical GS hands... 👌🏻

the Grand Seikos make simplicity look easy...

New horizons....means something has to stay behind in order to make place for something new, right? I had to say goodbye to a few pieces last year...all of them nice, but then sometimes you need a change. GP with fancy dial and lugs from the 1950's Minerv...  

Quite a rotoation!

This is an interesting take on the subject, Stefan!

Doing it your way certainly has one re-examine the collection critically on a regular basis. And your additions of 2018 are all superb, and very diverse at the same time. Looking forward to seeing where your journey goes in 2019 👍🏻

Not really modernized. Rather let some pieces go that i didn't really waer often , regarless if new or old.

 
 By: nitediver : January 6th, 2019-01:25
The Vintage 1945 with blue dial for example is a super nice piece, but for whatever reasons which I also do not understand, it was hardly on my wrist. The Sinn 103 ST C was a very recent addition, and it is nice, but it clearly has not the same perceived ...

Any ideas what modern watch you would consider? Or waiting for SIHH and Basel?

No idea to be honest ...

That may be difficult in a new watch...

Going Dutch

 
 By: NT931 : January 5th, 2019-03:49
Towards the end of 2018, I took a fairly big step into indie horology, and acquired this 1941 Remontoire. I guess it was a new horizon for me - I had never bought a Dutch watch before, and while I had dipped my toes into indies with a Habring Erwin and a ...  

Beautiful watch.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : January 5th, 2019-05:57
Congratulations for nailing this one.

A fantastic choice and congratulations on reaching for these new horizons, NT931!

 
 By: KMII : January 5th, 2019-08:00
A superb choice! Seen one in Switzerland last year and have been immensely impressed. Maybe these are horizons I should head towards at some point, too...

HUGE Congrats with your amazing piece of dutchpride 👌🏻😘. Cant wait to get mine 1941 . I didnt opt for a KV dail because i allready own a Salmon guilloche dail . But i have to admit yours looks gorgeous 🤤

Just the normal Salmon dail my friend

Normal or guilloche dial for the Remontoire , both are beautiful in their own way, and besides, there's always the bewitching backside to drool over!

Sometimes going Dutch isn’t a bad thing at all!

Setting it all up might take a day or two but having WPS at your fingertips in any queue you spend time in (and in traffic jams) is certainly worth the effort! Looking forward to seeing more phone shots and have a great ana-digi Sunday!

One thing I never got...

 
 By: KMII : January 6th, 2019-06:06
Is how their phones are relatively usable, while their laptops - from my perspective at least - are not. Had two and returned to PCs both times, thoroughly disappointed. And that’s saying something for someone who’s never been a fan of MS.

It is an iPhone 8. You underestimate . . .
