I am so excited to have it back.
One full week on my wrist...
I monitered it and checked its accuracy.
Difficult to say as you don't have minute indexes, but I would say less than 30 secs a week.
Amazing, for a 7 Days PR watch. even if the JLC Septantieme works even a bit better.
Now, the interesting thing ill be to see how it performs in the next day or two.
Best my friend.

Back from service for me too...
New strap, totally serviced, darn accurate, now, even at the end of 6 days of non stop running movement. I am freaaaaking happy. ;) HAGWE, Nicolas ...
Cloudy skies over Paris . . .
. . . and the same here in So Cal - perfect for picture-taking! Hope you're enjoying the cool weather, Nicolas. I'm off to the beach momentarily for a little refreshment and a few rounds of 8-ball. Best, Art
Perfect match with the dark blue clouds!
Stunning pic and watch, my friend! :) Perfect match when the watch and the owner have the same name... ;) HAGWE Blomman
Nice freak
The only freak to have. Time for you to freak out with beauty on the town. Bill

The white Freaks do it for me
The Freak in general is an amazing watch but in white it looks so good, may be the yellow gold is a bit much for this type of dial construction. Great shot Nicolas. GEO
Very nice Monsieur Nicolas......
this watch really intrigues me, wonderful creation conjuguating art and engineering! Bonne fin de semaine mon ami. Kind regards from rainy Perth Down Under Francois
That was one of my dreams, when it was released,
That was a love at first sight, in 2002;, when i saw it sitting in a window display, in Paris. And that very one haunted my nights for 4 years... Before I could put it on my wrist. A strong love affair... All the best, my down under friend, kangaroo fan, ...
Ahhh mon ami! The cloudy sky of my beloved Paris, and ...
... a great watch photographed with skill! Freaky? ... May be! But what a combination!! Have a great week end my dear friend! Con afecto Pampeano! Abel.
It's really in spectacular shape, blomman . . .
. . . only one previous owner, who wore it sparingly over the years. Serviced once before in '73 and fitted at the time with a Longines bracelet, which is now attached to my '56 Longines Conquest. After a week of wear, it looks to be losing a second or tw...
Service on site...! ;)
Why go to the watchmaker when you can have the watchmaker come to you! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...
No worries !
My LLD is my life ... almost :-) .. . I already made a mistake by selling my Speedy to a friend ... don't know why i did that ? Think i'm becoming a bit senile :-) ... Bim
Beautiful picture and perfect watch....
I have this one on my list as I am .......a freak about accuracy and this one has it all. Kind regards Tempusfugit....and it does indeed, already!? Francois
It should be...
at the top or near the top of your list. It does, indeed, have it all! Thanks for the comments. tempusfugit
Nice work capturing the hands . . .
. . . in that photo. They're the glory of Dornblüth's design . . .
You are most certainly...
correct. The Dornblueth will stand tall with any other timepiece (in my view). tempusfugit
On it's way to service
My good old 1977 vermeil Must Tank, needs new gold plating. The corners are thru and I am sure it needs new oil too. Good weekend Gents! GEO ...
It is written on the dial. It is a must. ;)
Still haunted by your Tank with these Red ( Arab? ) numbers. MY GOD! ;) Best, Nicolas.
Yes, I agree that beautiful white dial with these amasing...
Red Arabic number, Divine! It comes very close second as far as "dial is a picture" to the 70eme. IMO. Cheers, Francois.
Thanks very much gentlemen!
Cool to see that a very cheap vermeil watch can also get appreciation from collectors that usually are interested in high end time pieces. It shows that our hobby is not about money, but about watches.

The watch is wonderful, but I really die for these great...
... and old depth gauges!! Would love to have that Spirotechnique in my small vintage diving gear collection! Thank you for sharing! Cordial regards, Abel.
Not quite back from service
If I didn't spend all my time watching MacGyver, scanning Watchprosite and drinking wine, I could fix these things .... Cazalea ...
My new arrival today in rainy Perth....
a "sans papier" but definitely a keeper!!! HAGWE Francois ...
From what I heard, Mr Hortefeux is in Perth for some holidays.
So, send me this Sans Papiers before it has to face some serious troubles. ;) My God! That is a " in the hunting list " one! Best, and bravo, my down under the rain friend. Nicolas
LOL...thank you my parisian friend..
I'll see to regularise it very soon indeed. Cheers, Francois
Lovely picture of a lovely watch, in an enchanted place.
... Just love Venice, so misterious, so romantic, so historical! Great background for your great watch! Kind regards Abel.
The '69 today
I'm wearing the RLT '69 today. [IMG]http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p118/debaz/RLT/SAM_1605.jpg[/IMG] Best Regards Livius ...
It more wrist than shot
Thanks for the kind words. HAGWE Bill Ps the hair is blonde not gray......
this is also back from a big service although you wouldnt know by looking
there is a story about this which i will post a thread on, but lets just say that this patina has developed in only 1 week. Zenton B42 Bronze have a good weekend everyone Graham ...
Your 'new' Zenton eh....
I'd have kept is sparkly clean for a bit..!! Look forward to that thread with the before and after pics :) Moi.
To tell you the truth
I had never seen this watch before and never heard about it either, but I like it so much that I have opened your post at least 8 times already. Would love to see how the patina of the bronze will develop. GEO
hi Geo, thanks for...
hi Geo, thanks for your comments on this watch and look out for a post on the home page which i hope to do soon. i did one at the beginning of the year when i bought it and described the quick patination process, but its worked much quicker this time for ...
. . . and the best part is . . .
. . . you can start the process all over again, anytime you want ;-) . . . ...
yep, your right Art. nothing...
yep, your right Art. nothing is permanent in the world of brass cases. it doesnt wear like silver so you can polish back as often as you like. not that i like at the moment. best Me
The Watch Maker Cometh...
...so to commerate PSM's visit to Singapore and his event tonight... ...
Great watches...
...and clever background for your shot. Have a terrific night: don't forget to report back. Cheers, pplater.
Thank you good sir
MTF, SJX, Kong and Horogasm were there. I am sure they will provide great coverage. BTW, the Renaissance Tourbi Repeater looked great and sounded very good to my ears as well.
ooo... I can;t afford the renaissance
but I recently got the piece unique diamond sails tourbillon at the top of my PSM threesome. It was great to see Peter again (he has hair now!). Same down to earth guy. Will be catching up with him again tomorrow.
how did he get the...
how did he get the hair Arthur, i would have sworn he had as many gaps between hairs on his head as i have i hope he was well as he’s a lovely guy. G
LOL Graham... they are many things I do ask
this is not one of them but I did exclaim "what's with the hair Pete?!" He seems very fine and happier and I'm glad for him.
i think the move from...
i think the move from a small apartment in Switzerland to a big house in France makes all the difference for family happiness and if family are happy so are you, or he/him as the case may be. hopefully good business makes people happy as well, but often c...
You did it! Bravo, Fernando.
I have the feeling July will be the month of the Polaris! Keep an eye on the JLC forum, you will understand why soon. Chapter one to be posted on next Sunday. Best, and congratulations, my friend. Nicolas.
Couldn't resist Nico :)
And with all the support I got from members here. Many thanks! Looking forward to your post. Best Fernando
Mesmerizing, Fernando . . .
. . . the effect of a blurred background and pleasing distortion in the foreground makes for an unforgettable image.

So sorry ... wrong way of posting before ... generated a new thread. :-) ...
Impressive splash of orange ...
... in dial and strap. Pleased you persevered! Andrew
Welcome to our weekly thread . . .
. . . with an intriguing watch we rarely see. Thanks for joining in!
Good to see you here AOMH...
...and not a bad way to 'buy in'! Look forward to seeing more of your shots. Cheers, pplater.
Never say never ... Version 5
Team, Months back a friend offered a Breitling to me and I passed. The price was OK but my reason was "why do I need a 7750?". I notice that the model was somehow rare and the watch didn't look bad. Not the usual Breitling, for sure. Call this friend agai...
great pics atmosphere
for a very nice Breitling I didn't know about. Nice catch. Best, Mark
