The Hublot is a perfect companion for Summer.

Hello Adam!! Great post... you played Antonio Vivaldi´s Four Seasons so well!! Beautiful watches you share each connected with a different Season we live.

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 22nd, 2022-13:58
All of them wonderful... I´m specially fond of your Autumn choice: the Reverso... the dial texture and the date moon phase complication add to the warmth and charm of this fine timepiece. Thank you so much for answering our challenge this weekend! Hagwe! ...

Dear Abel! The colours of the watch reminds me the colours of the fallin leaves from the trees… The watch has so much power and presence on your wrist! Wear it in the best of your health! Truly yours, Adam

Nice theme

Interesting selection…

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 24th, 2022-10:13
Which watch would you have chosen instead of your GS ?

Great question

 
 By: Cookies : July 24th, 2022-10:23
A FF 45mm for 5k more, or Breguet type XXI LE for 6k more . Those options would make me smile so hard. Silly me.

Here are the pics of some candidates

 
 By: Cookies : July 24th, 2022-10:33
I seldom take pics of watches at ADs…must mean quite a lot to have retained these pics in my phone. The Breguet Type XXI LE in orange or green slipped past. My AD called me if I wanted it, but I passed…(oh my I am the silliest person to do so) Panerai pic...

Not easy to choose just one Season among them: the Voutilainen makes me feel those long Winter nights. No need to tell you about my love for the CDV Vacheron which I also own. Lovely Spring watch. Stunning Moser dial catching Summer rays! And the FP Journ... 

Many thanks Abel

 
 By: Timeout : July 22nd, 2022-15:54
The CDV is quite the “strap monster”! I particularly like the way that Vacheron take a notch out of the leather on one side of the spring bar end which makes it easier to get the spring bar tool into place. As well as the original Serapian strap that came...  

Viewing your shots and straps combos I must agree with you that the CDV is a "strap monster" indeed. The Serapian OEM straps are very well made and classy. I didn´t notice ...

Thanks Abel.

Can’t go wrong with this dial. Thinking of getting a burgundy one also

Sounds good 👍

Good to see your selection for this week too. JLC doesn’t always get the attention it deserves - your choices are spectacular- and the Habring is a real beauty!

Bravo ! …

Beautiful choices !

My Winter watch: Grand Seiko Snowflake…

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 22nd, 2022-15:12
… I find the texture and color of this watch fascinating. Seiko has a knack for making stunning dials. This one makes me feel they magically put some snow there. What a better representation of Winter among the watches in my watch box? ...  

I love the Snowflake !

Thank you Adam …

The Moonshine gives me a lot of pleasure. The 300 was until a couple of years ago. Best regards Captain

I feel that if you get a good Panerai …

You are enjoying your Hanhart. Very cool 👍

It’s an interesting watch …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 24th, 2022-10:47
Have you had this one for long ?

I picked the case material and dial color back in February 2021, and our watch club took delivery of the 10 pieces in December 2021.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : July 24th, 2022-11:11
It exceeded our expectations. I pushed for including Flyback functionality but…

Sounds a good club !

With the stunning dial.

Thanks Cookies

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : July 24th, 2022-15:13
Patrik has informed me the Ice Blue is one of the hardest to achieve due to the large surface area of the dial and very short window of time to keep the metal heated before the color changes again.

I like your collection

 
 By: Cookies : July 25th, 2022-09:42

Four beautiful watches: you can never go wrong with Seiko/Grand Seiko. The red dial on the SBGH269 is stunning. This watch is in my wish list and will get in my nets sooner or later. Fabulous Mokume dial on your GoS Sarek. It makes for an awesome presence...
