Hola mi amigo Nicolas! Hoy es un dia muy especial aqui...
... Today is a very special day down here.
Some many years ago, a fellow here had the good idea of celebrating the "Dia del Amigo" (Friends Day), on the 20th of July, each year, conmemorating the day of the first landing on the Moon, he thought it was an emblematic time, a symbol of a Friendship among Humankind.
He intended to institute the Dia del Amigo in the whole world, but unfortunately, he failed on this, though in Argentina, it is well celebrated every year: phone calls, gathering to lunch or dine, a quick enocounter to share a coffee and exchange an abrazo, is very popular today, and is being done every 20th of July.
So, I take advantage of this thread of today, to say Feliz Dia del Amigo, to you, and to all nice friends here, at Purists, sharing a friendship tied by our beloved watches.
I also send my congrats to you, in this special day remembering when you begun to share your life with such a nice company!
I wish you will have a very nice and romantic day today. Please send my salute to your wife in my name!
and receive my best strong abrazo, mi amigo!
Ahh yes... on my wrist a watch matching this special Day: an Omega Moon Watch reference 145.022 with a 861 movement c. 1983.

Friday, 20th of July 2012: The watch of your week end?
A special day for me, as, exactly 10 years before, I found a girl who is crazy enough to have said yes to me. ;) So, for the week end, a Submariner will do the job. Discrete, elegant, and charmful. And as The Clash is our favourite Rock Band, the combinat...
Congratulations!
Joyeux anniversaire Joyeux anniversaire, mon ami. I hope that is correct. My French is awful. For the weekend... Cheers, respo ...
Beautiful Respo, I love the Overseas Chronograph...
Kind of sober, sporty, chic and elegant good mix. Bonne fin de semaine, Francois
I am so impressed ...
... with this VC chronograph every time I see it, Respo. Love the dial and the case. I worked out a long time ago that I cannot go 'offshore', but perhaps I should go 'overseas'?! ;-) Andrew
A special Friday wristscan for Vlad (even though it is Thursday still here)!
Enjoy your celebrations, Nicolas! Please give my warmest regards to the beautiful, Madame Vlad! :-) *hugs* Daos ...
My Weekend has already started....with a nice bath.
A Tsingtao in the bathtub, lamenting why I don't have the brains to invent something.... what my partner would wear for her weekend. have a pleasant and fun filled weekend folks... and Nicholas.....happy 10th anniversary, like the Clash sang..... "If you ...
Not my favourite Clash hit, but the only Clash love song I know is Train in Vain....
And it's not quite for a loving couple!!! :)- Best, Horo
Yep, I thought Nicolas would be more of a "Cars" type of guy...
...The Clash is just too British for a French, even for a universal French... :)
Then you can also sing to your wife...
...who's gonna pick you up, when you fall... One of the most beautiful love songs ever... Drive. And you can leave "My best friend's girlfriend" for another day; I don't think she'd be very appreciative of that song on a day like today. ;)
I see you know your classics. :)
Do you also know Rick Ocasek's solo albums? Best, Nicolas
I only recall Emotion in Motion off the top of my head...
but I am sure I heard them all in my time...
I think I have all their CDs... As I had all their LPs.
Cool to have found another Cars Fan! Best, Juan. Nicolas
LOL! I think you have the honor of posting the first...
...bathtub wristshot! LOL! Cheers, Daos
was actually making a phone call, and thought to myself..why not a picture!!
gladly accept the honor :) best, Horo
you are assuming they are my legs!!
was making phone call and thinking...why not. best, Horo
Vlad is immortal ...
10 years is like a blink to him. Let's remember that Antoine-LeCoultre used to be his watchmaker. Cheers, Nilo
Félicitations / Parabéns ...
Since this weekend is to celebrate Nicolas anniversary, nothing better than my pair: Mine on the left, my wife's one on the right. Hers with the ostrich strap. (Yes, they are on the exact same time) For the mandatory wrist shot ... Mine. My deep congratul...
10 years - is that Gold..?! :)
Congratulation - all the best to you and your lovely wife! :) PG for me this weekend... HAGWE Blomman PS. And make sure to thank her for sharing you with all of us here! ;) ...
LOL. For sure, I will. She sends you her best souvenirs, too.
She made me realize that she knows a lot of you! Best, Nicolas
Did she really say yes ???
She must have been out of her mind :-) :-) :-) !!!! Well, i guess it wasn't just your wife that was out of her mind saying yes .. :-) ... . As for me i am wearing a watch you probably have never seen ..... hmmmmmm .... The LLD survived the thunder of the ...
Looking forward to your Ducati post!
Will you be doing the road video as usual? Best, respo
Test ...
Hi Respo ! As i'm writing this it's raining sooo hard i really hope my house won't be flooding :-) . This afternoon i will get the news if i can pick the Panigale up or not .... let's hope for a yes! I've been thinking about a road video, might go and pic...
No Panigale .. but ...
... my friend gave me a 848 Streetfighter for the weekend :-) ... though i prefer a racer or the Hypermotard :-) ... Well, i'm not complaining ... :) Filip
I am as surprised as you are. :)
As for the LLD, that is what I call a toolwatch. It survives to all the supplices you submitted it. Take care, my friend. Nicolas
Forgot my WE watch!
Oops! This beauty for me this weekend... Archive photo, though: it is not 13, I know :) ...
I know this one.
Made for a Spanish Forum, am I right? Muchas gracias para tus palabras, amigp. Nicolas.
It is a "club watch", Geo
As Nicolas said, it was made for a Spanish forum (we like to call it a "club" :)) and mine is #20/20. It is a L.U.C. but very distinctive. I don't think they have ever done something similar. And this year...our club has something new in the making...
Congratulations on this anniversary Nicolas....
and today is my wife's birthday!!! Very nice watch and photo. Have a great weekend. Cheers, Francois
No? Really? What a coincidence!
Let me guess what you have on the wrist... Hmmm. No box, no papers, but a beautiful watch? :) All the best, my good friend. Nicolas PS: And take care of your better half, they really are our better half!
You are right Nicolas....
No box, no papers but a beautiful watch..... isn't she lovely? I'll let my better half know about your thoughts, something tells me that she will totally agree with you..LOL Cheers my friend Francois ...
Are you crazy? You really removed the seal from this unvaluable marvel and ...
You immediately lost 35 % from the retail??? That is what I call Passion! :) :) :) I love your sens of humour, François. Best, Nicolas
I know Nicolas...
It was after I had a scotch or two, I could still kick myself for that and now....... this marvel probably lost as you say..35% ..au bas mot!!!! BFDS my friend
Well, after reading your post, Maritza, my wife, believes....
That you are are a very sensible man......aie, aie, aie, now I am in trouble!
Congratulations Nico
Joyeux 10 anniversaire, joie de vivre , Mon Ami. If Mrs. Vlad sleeps as little as you do, you would have packed more into your 10 years than I did in 20 years or more LOL. Have a great weekend. Hmmm, what should I open to celebrate " with " you ?. A good ...
Bordeaux is perfect for the occasion. :)
She sleeps a lot, which gives me time to write... ;) Thank you, my friend. Nicolas
I would happily join you and Dreamer for that. :-)
I seem to be drinking a lot more French wine, mostly Bordeaux, these last 3 months. I can't work out why! Andrew
Congratulations on the anniversary!
Going with this for Friday and most likely the whole weekend: [IMG]http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g76/TheWorldisFlat/Watch%20Stuff%2062/IMG_5305_1.jpg[/IMG] Have a nice weekend, everyone! ...
Wahoo, what a marvelous picture I really like it, good on you HR.
Bonne fin de semaine. Cheers. Francois
Should I stay . . .

LOL, my facetious friend.
Thank you, Art. She sends you kisses, which makes me wonder what you did together when you met her in Vegas... Hmmm, should i GO to ask the Padrino to investigate? :) :) :) All the best, my friend. Nicolas
Submariner
Blue as the sky today! [IMG]http://i696.photobucket.com/albums/vv321/andypandy-57/ROLEX%20SUBMARINER/DSCN2254.jpg[/IMG] HAGWE Anders ...
I knew we would have some superb shots of this freshly grabbed Sub.
I was not wrong! Gorgeous photo, Anders. As suspected. :) Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas!
But it took a few weeks. I've been to New York and started working again after the holidays so I have not been on the computer so much. But now you will see more of my pictures again. [URL=http://forumbilder.se][IMG]http://forumbilder.se/images/6002012224...

Finally, you grabbed this Favre Leuba!
Happy for you, Alain. This is a brand which misses in my diving theme. I will really have to do something to fill this gap. So congratulations on your last catch! Best, Nicolas
My travelling partner...
This was my companion for my trip this week, and even though I didn't cross time zones, it somehow still felt right to travel with a world timer... A shot from this morning on the way home... Have a great weekend, everyone! C ...
The black WW TC!
That is one I considered, some time ago. This international Dark Vador is a strong beast, and certainly a nice travelling companion. Bravo, Vinontre! Nicolas.
Thank you!
And a Very Happy Anniversary to you on this very fine day!! Your Submariner is sublime, I really love the clean look, especially because it's sans crown guards! C
You will come to this soon, my friend. I know you. ;)
Tha,ks for your kind words, too. Best, Nicolas
An excellent version of the ww.tc. White on ...
... black is so legible, even with the amount of information from this watch it is easy to read the time at a glance. Congratulations! Andrew
That is quite a hunk of Panerai ...
... and I love the matching strap and shoes. Very cool. Andrew

Congrats, Nico!
I have had that anniversary 1 month ago :-) When it comes to timekeeping, what else than a Fifty Fathoms could it be for me? Cheers Henrik ...
Perfect toolwatch for timing wedding anniversaries, I agree. :) Thanks, my friend.
And, of course, the same back to you and your better half. Nicolas
Happy 10th Anniversary Nicolas!
What a special watch to accompany you on your special day.. Strong yet discreet... I go bold this weekend: [IMG]http://i969.photobucket.com/albums/ae180/samrotandi/880b87ec.jpg[/IMG] Congrats again! And have a great weekend everyone! Sam ...

The Reverso Memory! That is a not often seen Reverso.
With an original complication. It was a flop for JLC, but it may regain some interest, as it is a very special watch. Best, and thanks, Andrew. Nicolas
I predict ...
