This time a bit difficult for me, but here some few pics..
FF No Rad & flower ambiance
For me a humble, easy going summer piece
A cool shot on a hot day.. (you might know this one.. - Hope you don’t get bored, sort of..)
Summer leisure & relaxing mood - everything clicks slower here..
Best and HAGWE to all,

WS Friday 20th is Open now! Theme: “Watches and small (or big) pleasures.
Hello Friends! We know that getting a new watch to our collection is a big big pleasure but there are many other small (or big) pleasures we can enjoy as well: taste a good whiskey, tea or coffe or just our favorite soft drink. We can also indulge tasting...
Welcome Geo! Thank you so much for your superb shot…
… of your awesome Ressence. There is some kind of magic when inter acting and viewing this watch work. Have a great weekend!! Cheers. Abel
Thanks a lot Abel, Ressence is indeed a bit magic.
All their models look pretty amazing. GEO
One of my favourite pleasures is walking with a good friend.
As both me and the friend are both “vintage” I thought an old favourite Omega would be appropriate. Regards Kev. ...
Well played Kev! Beautiful shot! What a better pleasure…
… than sharing time with a good old friend?? Nice vintage Omega to have on your wrist!
What a charming shot 👏🏻🙌🏻
And a walk in nature with a dog is a wonderful thing indeed 👍🏻
OK, I'll play
One of my guilty pleasures is watch straps. I probably acquired it early when I got into this hobby, as one of my first good watches was a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM1). And one of the great joys of owning a Panerai is changing straps all the time. I must...
Thanks a lot fir your entry Boris! Playing with different straps…
… is very enjoyable indeed. And Paneristi have an special fondness for this. Though of course it can be played with almost any watch with identical pleasure. I am always amazed with how much we can change the character or mood of a watch with just a quick...
Thanks for the kind words
As for straps, I have come to the conclusion that they make for 50% of the looks of a watch. Even an average watch can look good with a great strap.
My big pleasure Boris! Absolutely agree with your thoughts…
… about the importance of choosing the right strap for our personal taste in our watches. It has happened to me that a straps change has fueled my desire to wear a watch more often after finding the one which I liked best. Cheers! Abel
Passion for watch strap, humm…
I think I can relate to that one! 👍👍👍 Thanks a pretty cool orange strap combo!
Hi Boris …
The orange tropic strap on your Speedmaster is a cool choice. I love that first shot ! Have a great weekend.
This is an enjoyment we certainly both share 😁👍🏻
With the current state of the watch industry I often find myself more excited by a new strap 😉 Great tropic pairing 🙌🏻👏🏻🍊
Wow what a start dear Abel!
That PAM is so sweet! Might be the next and last one I had to my 47mm collections! Looks so clean without the crown
Thanks a lot dear Yacomino. It is true that the …
Pam 587 MM is a sweet cool watch. I have an special fondness for this Panerai. And an MM inscription on the dial always makes a Panerai more special in my point of view. Hope you find yours soon. It will make a great addition to your fine collection my fr...
Due to increased homeoffice i started making more refined coffee in the morning. Bought a grinder and hario equipment.
Still need to get better, but it‘s fun and somewhat a nice and relaxed morning activity. ...
Had a capsule machine as well. The first few selfmade coffees won‘t taste that well, but afterwards it gets interesting, if you buy small batch coffee. Didn‘t know coffee could have these kind of tastes.
Also, the fresh grinded coffee smells really good and and it‘s much less waste than the capsules. I can recommend trying it. Also enough tutorials on youtube.
Lovely green dial on your Dornbluth & Son timepiece nafetS. You are very well equipped for your pleasurable morning task (almost a ceremony) of making your coffee.
Thank you for sharing your shot with us! Hagwe. Abel
I don't know when they started offering it, probably a year or two ago.
It's Made of semitranslucent ceramic, so if you look closely, you can see some movement parts through it. It's also available in different colours (e.g. Red)
And I see you enjoy independent watch making, too 👏🏻
Another very enjoyable pastime 👌🏻
Reading National Geographic
My favourite past time since young. Maybe that’s when I got hooked onto watches instead of cars. So here is my Rolex. I’ve got 2 Rolex watches to satisfy my childhood dream of reading Rolex ads. Sadly my Daytona is stuck overseas. Interestingly I was list...
Creative shot …
and good to hear your thoughts on The podcast with Jean Claude Biver.
Yes the lockdown is quite bad
For the mind. I was listening to the podcast while walking the dogs in the forest behind my house, for an hour. Time just flew by and it was filled with inspiration for a better tomorrow.
Great shot Cookies to illustrate your pleasurable pas time. I also like so much to read NG. My first contact with this fine magazine was in the early 1960´s. Besides their interesting articles...
... I also was very fond of viewing their Rolex ads. I already was a strong fan of the Rolex Sub at that time though I had to wait till 1966 to own my first one (a 5513 gilt dial). Interesting comments about the J.C. Biver podcast. Thank you so much for y...
Have a great week too!!
Whenever I see those ads, my mind is filled with dreams. I don’t look at the watch much, rather I imagine myself like Snoopy imagining himself as the Red Baron
I love National Geographic too.
Growing up, I remember looking forward to the gorgeous photos. The writing wasn't bad too! Did you hear the one about the guy who said he read National Geographic for the same reason he read Playboy? Because he liked to look at pictures of places he'd nev...
Funny that…
When I was a kid I was dreaming of a NG subscription but it was geographically not possible then 🤷🏻♂️ Loved the NG shot in London. And still massively enjoy the output they produce. But somehow never subscribed, even when it became easy 🤷🏻♂️ Great shot ...
Great to hear you like Nat Geo too
I subscribed to Disney+ and ended up watching the Nat Geo content on it more. Lots of great shows to pass the time in this lonesome lockdown. I try to live an adventurous life as much as time allows, usually with a weekend swim in the sea (3km or so) or s...
Hello Cookies: Nice reading and nice to know your feelings around what you call an "adventurer fantasy". I can well understand you and also your need to own and not just rent your equipment...
... tools or clothing. Whichever the activity I had also preferred to make it with my own equipment or tools which add to me an special gratification. I do not consider myself an adventurer nor sportman (so far from that) but I´ve been passionate about sp...
Wow!!
I wish I had a scuba tank compressor too. That is next level! You’ve planted adventurous ideas in my mind now. The world is the oyster indeed.
Ha ha ha!! Regret to say lots of years have passed without using it.
I’m old and out of training now. But hopefully next year will try again some shalow diving. Keep safe Cookies and enjoy the adventures! Cheers! Abel
I fully get the concept but my activities nowadays primarily revolve around kids…
Would love to add more hiking and sea based stuff to the activity list soon, though 👍🏻🤞🏻
Here is Vin Diesel
He makes childcare look cool! (I watched this movie twice) Credit: Fanpop ...
Toy cars pull at my heart strings, too…
And a couple of years ago I started going for the 1:18 size. Currently all stuck in a different country from me 🤷🏻♂️ Great shot 🙌🏻👌🏻
Thank you. Hopefully you’ll be reunited with your collection soon.
I have probably a hundred plus more (toy cars, unfortunately not watches) in storage at my parents’ house, which unfortunately isn’t close.
Although watches are my main hobby i also enjoy some other things
Driving a nice car Enjoining a bike ride Exploring a city Traveling Visiting manufactures Or a nice boat ride Architectuur ...
Amazing post, amazing watches! Thanks for sharing
these salmon dial watches are stunning! Geo
Fabulous shots as always my friend 🙌🏻👌🏻
The Karma Sutra shot in the car did make me wonder what category that was supposed to be 😂😂😂
Thank you Captain. This 16710 I got in 2010 when the model was already discontinued a few years before and replaced by the new black ceramic model. I felt I needed to get the "old" model and ...
... a friend of mine located the last one in stock in my Country in a local AD. It came with the Coke bezel which I made it changed for a Pepsi in the Rolex official service but later returned it to the original black and red one as it looks today. Thanks...
Thank you dear Nicolas! I share your taste for the pleasure of traveling. And for nice watches as well of course. All superb watches and great shots and backgrounds.
I´m specially fond of the Duometre Unique Travel Time Boutique edition. That´s a true grail for me. Great entry my dear friend. Abrazos y buen fin de semana! Abel
Ha.. The (Polaris) beer dunking shot !- had similiar idea (see below pls.).. Yours are great and apart from the amazing 6542, the EL2, & these 2 Duomètre shots are such magnets to look at !
.. as always from the Master’s box - breathtaking ! Thx for sharing these marvels !! Best, hs.
Fantastic entries, Nico…
Travel being a strong theme for you 😁 Was missing some of your famous car shots, though 😉🤞🏻
Lovely shots, Nico.

Thanks for asking......
This is a Chinese made watch and the brand is "Shanghai" with reference number 6103. I received it as a gift and after some research I found that the complication is called “carrousel”. The escapement is located on the dial-side. The entire dial rotat...
Hello Sfwatchlover! Thank you for sharing your nice pleasures. And so nice to enjoy them with beautiful watches. Wonderful Lange. This new Odysseus line is a departure from the traditional shapes...
... of past models of the brand. Very interesting and attractive indeed. Regarding the awesome second watch you share here, I had never seen this before. Can you give us more information about it please? Great piece! Have an enjoyable weekend! Abel
Hi Abel, thanks a lot for your note! Yeah, I love the Odysseus very much. It was shown with the leather strap and there is a rubber strap I may easily exchange.
The last watch is a carrousel complication. I received it as a gift and I was very surprised to see the dial actually rotated when I first time had it on my wrist. I shared some more info and pictures in my reply to amanico and please see my reply there. ...
Thank you so much for your explanation about the Chinesse carrousel watch. Really amazing to know its dial rotates! An intriguing watch for sure. You say well: a conversation piece!
Again the Odysseus is a wonderful new model from Lange and I´m happy to know you love it so much and can well understand you. My big pleasure to view and comment your post. Hagwe! Abel
Great shots…
And you brought up one more - actually quite enjoyed the PS during the days I still got to play it occasionally 😉🤷🏻♂️
Great theme, Abel!

The post that will have me look up books 😉😁🙏🏻
Fantastic shots and definitely some books worth trying out - thanks for the tips 🙏🏻
Nice IWC
Hi Ruffian, that is a lovely looking IWC. Not seen that one before what is the reference please? Cheer.
Great shots and interesting pleasures you share here Henry. Thank you! Reading, listening music, visiting places, and driving. I love these little big pleasures and enjoy so much too.
Great shots to illustrate them and superb watches to make company while enjoying your pleasures. I´m specially fond of the Glashutte PanoMaticLunar: spectacular! I also own the Tudor GMT and the Ranger. Lovely watches. And the Red Chopard Mille Miglia an ...

If there was any difficulty, it didn’t show 😉
And if I recall correctly, South Africa is a regular enjoyment topic, too, right? 😊 And the cooling down shot never gets old 🙌🏻
Relaxing breakfast in the garden
With all the restrictions recently, one of the pleasures of the better weather has been to escape to the garden for breakfast Cheers JML ...
