Hey, Marc! For those who might not know, Marc . . .
. . . is a long-time friend of mine who's been lurking on our forums for years, and just decided to join the fray. I've seen this Longines in the metal, which is so tiny by today's standards that it would probably be taken as a ladies model. Good call for "wear your smallest watch week" . . . . regards, Art

Good morning...FRIDAY :o)
Old watch with new bracelet... HAPPY FRIDAY to everyone :o) Best Chung...
My Korona RG...not quite finished!
Something different for it is not on my wrist yet! Stepan Sarpaneva sent me these photos of the actual Korona RG I have commissioned for myself! It will be different and have a 52 serial number for I was born in 1952. It is supposed to be here in the 'ole...
Looking good!
Congrats! I can't wait to see the final product on your wrist in a future Wristscan Friday thread! Cheers, Daos
looking forward to seeing it finished Laurens
my new releases have been delayed again, hopefully here by xmas, but no guarantees. the 'special' one is ready, but i am happy to wait and get them both together. best graham
My favourite 'small' watch ... for pplater
Omega Constellation in steel, circa 1969...
Great pics, Andrew, thanks...
We officially claim this Friday for "Smaller Watch Week", and for the review thread to follow on HoMe. Looking forward to seeing all the smaller and vintage beauties getting some wrist time today! Cheers, pplater
Thanks Geo ...
Enjoying trying to show the watches at their best. Each one seems to have its own 'personality'. Pretty easy when a watch is as photogenic as this one. Thanks for your kind comment. Andrew
Even nicer on the wrist ...
Thanks Daos, This one is an enduring favourite for me too. I do tend to keep it for special occasions and to spoil myself every now and again. A
Too kind ...
Too kind, Marcelo. We obviously have similar taste in watches, because I agree with your summation!! Andrew
This Friday brought many wonderful photos, Andrew . . .
. . . but your wristshot edged them all out for a turn at the Masthead . . . cordially, Art
Thanks ...
Thanks Art !! I am sure it’s the photogenic Connie rather than my picture, but I am still honoured. It was a great Friday thread; lots of wonderful watches. Andrew
This Friday starts with a 'Fried egg' and 'Pizza'...
even all of the Panerai's showing respect for the big size (46mm diameter) of the Breitling Navitimer 1806! It is such a huge and powerfull watch and the first automatic chronograph ever. They were introduced by Breitling in 1969! This one was ordered by ...
You definitely have an impressive collection, my friend.
I was on to buy one, a few months ago... Then, another thing came, and I passed on it. I love this big sized Navitimer. Big, certainly, but still cool on the wrist. Yes, you have an impressive collection, Claude! HAGWE. Nicolas
You should go for one, first because it is realy nice...
and second because it was the first automatic chrono. I own mine for nearly 20 years and I never had the smallest problem with it. It is running so strong, it's like a miracle! best regards my friend!
i enjoyed wearing my 1806 navitimer and my 809 Cosmonaute
but they went along with everything else 2 years ago. for some reason the 1806 doesnt feel as big as it really is, perhaps its because the case is round(ish). mine was a standard civilian issue but i did have 2 quartz military navitimers, 1 Iraqi and 1 Al...
Thank you so much Graham, I realy appreciated very much...
to read your story!!! In the past years my bank account sometimes reaches the deepness of the Trieste and that's the reason I tried many times to sell my 1806. Because of the craziest different circumstances, I could never sell it and that's the reason wh...
I know where to find one, Claude
But as you say, I have some super urgent priorities right now... Maybe a nice surprise for me tomorrow, and some good news for you at the same time, as if all works well for me, it would be your turn to speak aobut what you know... Best! Nicolas
Damn Nicolas, you realy know how to get me sleepless nights :-)
Please, please keep me posted!!!!!!!!!!!
My Nickname is Vlad Dracul, Claude...:)
Of ocurse, I will keep you informed! Best, Nicolas
very nice Filip. i've not seen that before.
i do like the 10 minute and 3 hour totalisers. i used to have a 2001 Spatiographe with the digital 10 minute and analogue 3 hour totalisers. very unique way of displaying the chrono time at the time. yet another one i miss i probably buy another one if th...
Great watch, Filippo!
A great one, indeed. Best, my "La Bomba" hermano and HAGWEE! Emilio
Catch ...
.. not definitve .. it's a good friends watch so i can wear it whenever i want .... you all know +/- what i want ..... Filip
Stefan, I am always hungry for vintage dive and military watches!
Sometimes I feel like participating in the movie "La grande Bouffe" de Marco Ferreri from 1973. My passion is killing me slowly! ;-) best regards Claude
"Smaller Watch Week" companion...
In acknowledgment of all those who have generously (and in some cases bravely!) participated in "Smaller Watch Week", here is this last week's companion. No, it isn't the JLC MUT: for a more detailed explanation, check in on the "Week in Review" thread on...
Very handsome!
I like the use of yellow gold here. It feels appropriate to the piece, and gives the watch a nice warmth. Cheers, Daos
Not only small, but extremely handsome!
Hi pplater, this Patek is just a lovely classic - if I one day should find a gold nugget while doing the gardening or otherwise get some unexpected treasures, this watch would definitely be worth to spend some of it! Best regards, anaesdoc
33 mm Mark VII Weems
I didn't wear it all the week, but quite often, this week. You will understand why a bit later... HAGWE, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-12-03 22:28:21...
Next time you come, my friend.
Make me think about it, Claude, as I won it for a quite long time, now... Best, Nicolas
Not that small on the wrist, eeeh, Stefan?
Curious how a 32 mm case is nice on the wrist! Thanks, my friend. Nicolas
Very nice indeed
Hope you will be telling us more about the 'Weems'. I know the Longines version and I have seen this watch, but did not know about the 'Weems' version by Le Coultre. I am sure you know all about it. GEO
I already posted a review on this Weems, Géo.
Do a search with the Keyword " Weems " and you will fall on it. Best, and thanks for your nice words, my friend. Nicolas
I love this Weems!
One of these watches that, always I see it, my hearth beats. Its beauty makes me forget its size. Hagwee Hermano! Emilio
So many treasures to find, my friend.
And so many exciting watches! This one is dangerous, as it makes you want more Pilot Watches.... Best! Nicolas
Stromer has asked me.....
to post this one for him....hehehe but it takes a real man to pull this off- and you do it with style my friend (momentos of Paris cc pink panther) Cheers...
I also recall.....
that you did find it in your bag...... And I do have the photo proof if you would like........ Cheers
Yes.....
a "new" addition.... Although I prefer larger watches this one wear very nicely.... Thank you Cheers
My 32mm Longines Lindbergh

Took the shot at one of the last beautiful days we had. Now it rains all over Europe. Good weekend gents. GEO...
Fantastic shot, Geo!
The watch and setting are lovely! I really enjoyed your photograph! Cheers, Daos
Another great pic of yours, Géo!
Where has it been taken? South of France? Best, Nicolas
Not small, but...
...worthwhile looking at, I hope! From tonight's inaugural meeting of the Northern California Kari Klub... Can you spot the one that is not like the others? (Hint: ding, ding... ) Best, Gary G...
What the...
Kept on scrolling down...and still more and more... Wow! Dirk This message has been edited by dedestexhes on 2009-12-04 01:12:29
It's like dying and going to independent watch heaven
Maybe in my next life (if I believed in such things) I will be worthy of owning a Kari. A girl can dream. The watches are all so lovely in their various iterations. Cheers, Daos PS -- nice suits everybody!
you noticed the suits Daos
most of us have a selection of clothing at GTG's from jeans and T shirts to suits, but the CAL Kari club were all suited and booted to ensure their clothing matched the class of the timepieces. best Graham
LOL!
I'm pleased to report that when the check arrived there were no fisticuffs -- and no cheapskates, either! Loved the comment. Best, Gary
Vacation watch
We are on vacation - so still wearing my trusty 34mm 1959 Seamaster calendar - small for you fellows, plenty big enough for me. This photo is from two fridays past - our balcony overlooking the Copper Canyon near Divisadero, Chihuahua state, Mexico. You g...
Nice!
Cool pic Ginger! Hope you guys are enjoying your vacation in Mexico! have a great weekend! -MW
Gorgeous landscape...

hope your having a good time Ginger and i look forward to pics when you come back
i'm off on a bit of a break monday, hopefully lots of photo opportunities. best Graham
Small?
at 37mm - not really. Feels perfectly natural. Finding it hard to go over 42mm these days. HAGWE fernando...
Terrific photo, Fernando . . .
. . . nicely framed, with good resolution . . . the natural light lends a warm glow, too. Cordially, Art
Thanks Art.
Didn't think I would be able to do better so I stuck with this photo that was previously taken. cheers fernando
Hey.Sharp one there..man!
Hi Fernando, This is a sharp post....very straight forward no hangky-pangky stuff.I like it....the execution style. Thanks for the picture. BHK9
Thanks Steven...
but I still have a lot of work to make pictures like yours....and also I need another camera ;-) HAGWE
I could just die!
This watch is SO awesome! Words fail. Congrats again, Jeff! Cheers, Daos
Thanks Daos
hopefully in a couple of days I can have more documents about its history... HAGWE
Damn, to die for!
I may have something " new " soon... But this DRSD is hard to beat! Best, Nicolas
32 mm Hamilton 'General Purpose'
