Hello my dear PuristS Friends!! Appologize for the delay in announcing our classic Wrist Scan weekly feature for this week end! I am opening the thread now! You may enter your contributions in this same thread. This is a Free Theme, and my invitation is t...
... I will most likely make it a 40mm Fifty Fathoms weekend, switching between these three watches shown in different photo styles: Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers Henrik ...
5512 with a great ghost bezel and a full gold 1680... I would wear one on each wrist "" if they were mine! LOl! Thank you and have a great week end my friend! Cheers! Abel
... this was the watch worn on the aforementioned picture of me with my Collie "Rasputin": I would have liked to wear it over the weekend as well, but currently the timepiece is undergoing its 12 days-accuracy test, so it cannot leave its position. Marcus...
Awesome watch with a salmon dial against "white" metal case! Is there any better combination? Enjoy it so much and in the best of good health! Hagwe! Abel
. . . but goodie this weekend, Abel. '58 ref 2989 SM chronometer, cal 505. I've probably seen thousands of second-generation Connies with this movement. Second-gen Seamaster chronometers? A dozen, maybe a few more. Including related reference OT2909, no m...
. . . to depict the dial as it appears irl, n. [pic taken with Leica macro lens] The wrist shot was taken by my iPhone at dusk. Both photos are untouched by any type of processing. Art ...
. . . as they weren't all that much less expensive than contemporary Connies, and only slightly smaller. Frankly, I think they're more attractive than their upscale cousins. It's a great reference [2989 and OT2909] to hunt down. Doubtful more than a thous...
. . . between cal 501, 505, and 504 (calendar). Cal 501 chronometers were issued the first year ('56), with cal 505 made between '57 and '59. Most cal 501 movements were not chronometers, but a portion were certified for use in Constellations. All cal 504...
. . . MSNWatch, who used to post here, reported owning one many years ago. So if you find a cal 501 ref 2989, don't dismiss it out of hand. It should have chronometer marking on the rotor. Art
... among these beauties. This is a nice project for a future post. I wish I will have the time to do that in a near future. These are charming old pieces which I love so much but had no time yet to classify and research as they deserve.
[photo and watch credit: Bill Sohne, 4/21/09] . . . in solid 18 kt. I've seen one other I can clearly remember, and maybe one more. All were in this configuration - yellow gold, white dial. I've seen more Mopar Hemis and Six Packs on So Cal freeways in th...
... that during the 1950`s here in Argentina there was a restriction for imports and restrictions in gold metal objects imported so that Omega imported only the movements and dials and they were used in gold cases made by local makers. These watches are f...
. . . originally acquired in Argentina during the '50s. Most collectors bypass Argentine production because they lack recognized case references. I don't believe this particular example had any engraving other than a case serial number. Best, Art ...
. . . after a bit of research. One is an early - likely '56 - model with a unique dial and a cal 50 1 chronometer movement. So that makes six sightings in ten years. Still, not a whole lot, considering Omega made hundreds of thousands of watches during th...
If I find one I will definitely let you know however at the moment thatβs somewhat unlikely as my searching possibilities are severely restricted by my lack of time π€·π»ββοΈ
It's a beautiful watch, an awesome dial and and two interesting complications: World Time and dead seconds. Only flaw for my taste? Those two ugly little screws on the dial! Hagwe my friend! Abel
... But in the metal it is well balanced considering the case size and general design. In any case I always suggest to any one considering buying a watch to try it on his own wrist and feel it and view it on its own wrist as the way a watch seats and feel...
... gives it an special character and the dial ... That's an incredible patina! How not to love it? It deserves a lot of wrist time my friend! Buen fin de semana mi amigo! Abrazos! Abel
Looking like a blue-ish dial weekend for you, Abel π Like both the IWC and the JLC but have to say I have a really soft spot for the Geophysic ππ»
Today, I handed over my Vulcain Cricket Nautical to a new owner, who actually turned out to be a watch designer. Interesting conversation, we have some shared contacts in the watch industry. Time to say farewell to my Cricket Nautical...so I felt I , my t...
... for the vintage Excelsior Park chrono. Its black dial and case design make for a very classic, classy timepiece, may be a bit more formal than the other beauties you show. Enjoy the celebration so much! Cheers and Hagwe!! Abel
