i have the black ceramic...
i have the black ceramic with blue dial and bezel and i havent been overly impressed i'm very sad to say. the bezel is very loose, the crown went bonkers and i had to return it for repair.
i wish i'd gone for the clear model as the alu ceramic is only a coating and i managed to cut into it by accident.
on the other hand, it didnt cost much so i shouldnt complain.
i came across a guy on the bay the other day who has developed a way of cutting the swatch cases apart, remodelling a caseback and fitting with better eta auto movements. still waiting for the sistem 51 though.

"Open" theme WS Friday now starts!
Hello all! There is no theme this week, so please submit your best shots of watches, on or off your wrist, yours or your friends or ADs, new, modern, or vintages. The judge are out there to decide Let's see what you've got! Some comments or stories behind...
I know the feeling...
... as I am now being sucked into Rolex world, too, for the first time in my life...... There may be an opportunity to show here one day :-) Ken
Hey Ken, do you do everything three times?
The L1, the Dato if I remember well... glad it ends well finally But since I sold my 1815 to fund the DB25, it remains in my mind that I'll get a rose gold Lange again one day or another. So maybe I'm on the same trend there! I as already told you before,...
Do you wish to sit down and tell us more Joe ? ^^
I must admit this interpretation crossed my mind a wee bit when I wrote it.
No... those two models only...
... but there are more "twice" models... :-) Yeah, I was and still am a fool, but my bank account is not that deep and now drying up! Unless my cash flow grows as planned, I may have to say good by to others (again)... :-( Sigh.... I would love to enter t...
Rarity...
This is also what makes us love more our watches, the fact we really have to think twice before pulling the trigger, the fact we make sacrifice to fund our future beauty :) Mark
Dear MArk
You are playing all the right notes with this one ;) Great shot I wouldn't be surprised if it is winner this week Sincerely Damjan
A lucky shot...
lack of light but the reflection went the right way, Thanks a lot hs ;) Mark
1815
For a better cause ! A worthy cause ! Love the piano shots ... Love how a classic device contrasts a modern tech marvel. Keep em coming !
If it's open theme, here we go ...
Saturday I will be wearing my Eterna Valjoux 72. A B&W version: Today on my wrist ... The usual Zenith. A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
That Zenith is...
... something I love.... But I prefer A386, the round version. Having said that, I am always impressed with your extensive vintage collection! Thanks, Nilo! Ken
"Extensive vintage collection"!
Ken, I only own five vintage watches. I prefer new ones and let then to turn vintage on my wrist. The Zenith is a re edition that cellebrates the 40th anniversary of the glorious El Primero in 2009. On other hand I have friends that are hooked on vintages...
Thanks Hs ...
Just learned that the full oiling and cleaning of my Eterna is done, along with another chronograph of a less famous brand. Stay tuned for a full review. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Sir ...
Currently I'm very lazy to take watch pictures. During the summertime here the light is very strong since sunrise and I hard to take a good picture. I need to do a good session of my DSC 3 counters before it acquires one scratch or mores. Cheers, Nilo
My lord ...
As we go, there are some vintage pieces that "sing to me" and I have a particular affection for Eterna (60's/70's). Cheers, Nilo
Eterna
Back from spa ? Love the watch ! U heard this b4, u have a knack for unearthing Gems !
It's back and in great shape ...
Just oiling and cleaning and the Valjoux 72 is back to its former glory. No polishing or anything that could put at risk its vintage status. Thank you Flamenco, Nilo
Open theme, here is mine
It gives a little feeling of adventure. But the picture was taken at home, in my bathroom. This watch deserves some real adventure... Thanks for watching ! Best regards Fabio ...
That's a very practical shwoing...
...and speaks thousand words. Nice effect on Lumi. Thank you! Ken
This one, once again... In 4 months, it will be ten years that I own it!
Pure pleasure. And Love! Best, Nicolas ...
Every time.. I see this one.. I'm totally mesmerized, really and truly ! :)
.. Have to ask you, to bring it along, next time we meet, pls; - Just would LOVE to see it on my wrist once.. ( Am afraid, the list gets longer..) My Best for the upcoming WE, dear friend ! hs PS: lastly, I have been typing pretty much, - having said so, ...
No, no .. Misunderstanding ! .. The List of YOUR (!) pieces..
.. which you kindly might (again) SHOW to me, - and NOT a list for me to pursue ! -- LOL ;) And BTW, I also have a list, much smaller though, to remember, what to bring on the next occasion.. My SEARCH and HOPE- list is another issue, which you also know ...
That's also another one, as I am aware.. But the list.. of ;)
.. your (already) fulfilled wishes , in your treasure- box ! ( eg: MMR Ti, Geophysic, your Vintage Reverso, the Septantieme, this very Salmon dial -Breguet, maybe the R- 6542, or some of your Vintage GMTs, or the Patek Worldtime, or your TR, or FF's, or.....
There is always a possibility to achieve your dream.
I would not to be accused to have killed you! Certainly not! All the best, my friend. Nicolas
Again?!
We will have to go thrue the "Pink torture"! ;) Such an elegant and charming watch, my friend. HAGWE Blomman
Thanks, Geo.
It is funny, during these 10 years, I didn't wear it for a long time, maybe 1 or 2 years, and then, it came back to my wrist for many times! Best, Nicolas.
This one i dream about
I can only fantasies from a distance on this one. Marvelous pc my friend. Never part w it. But If u decide to , you know whos waiting ;-)) Best Iceman
Now that is a great compliment from someone who owns such a superb collection!
Thank you, Iceman. Thank you. Best, Nicolas
Beautifull.
Whenever I see this gorgeous salmon dial I feel the urge to go get myself a time piece with this color scheme!! (There are a few candidates out there) You are killing me, my friend!! Congrats for the almost decade long Love!! -Leon
Every time ...
I see this , I think of Scandinavia n trout !?! Bizarre ! But what a delicious watch ! To the next 10 ....
It is not Aprils Fools Day my friend
You let the watch go!!!???? No way :) I don't believe it MY best Damjan
Long time ago...
I let this RG go - kept the SS... And YES, I am a FOOL! Best, my friend Blomman
Can't be true ! .. I should have known you then.. But it helps.. ;)
.. That even the Masters of all Trades had their adolescence time ! Best, and HAGWE, hs
My friend, in total ...
... I have let go of 6 watches... Ever! Of those, the reason was that I had doublets ... Hands down - this one was my biggest misstake!! :( But, I let it go to a very dear old friend... And he let's me play with it now and then! :) Best Blomman
So you are lucky 'par distance'.. Nice principle to give doublets or such..
.. to friends !! - Happily I also came into that lucky position; pieces gone to friends - I like that ! Best for your WE ! hs
Our dear friend from north
was always known for generosity I agree 100% it is very nice gesture just showing personal grandeur Sincerely D
thanks Nicolas, i like this picture...
...especially the sun on the wooden bench. ciao, chris
Ken, third time's a charm..!
Buy the same watch three times ? We all have done that "mistake" ! Me... More than once... ;) JLC E 875... Lemania Tg 195... HAGWE Blomman ...
Memovox temptation
Hi I can see the temptation of the three Momovoxes - each with a different face and all rather wonderful. Cheers JML
That's true...
.. but I didn't say three pieces at the same time! Wonderful collection - very consistent, I should say :-) Thank you, blomman! Ken
How about a pair of threefold British images, Ken? . . .
. . . Glickman's '53 RAF Omega in the foreground . . . . . . freshly drawn Bass ale and the Union Jack imprinted on a munchies menu in the background. (Bass poured in the States is brewed domestically, but still pretty damned good!) Art ...
Not mine, Fred - this military Omega . . .
. . . plus a few others belong to Roger, a local Purist who primarily collects Dornblüths. Cordially, Art
Indeed - these RAF models usually had . . .
. . . iron dustcovers, à la Railmaster and other expressly magnetic resistant watches of the period. I was onto one a few years ago, Nicolas, and again recently, but in both instances, circumstances were unkind. Art
Threesome
Three time buying same watch Three same watches and now three outstanding pictures all in one thread I think that this is not no theme free wrist scan weekend but threesome wrist scan :) Sincerely Damjan
Really, really saught after one....
No mesh bracelet? Never mind. I love this one for off-time... Thanks, Alain! Ken
Sea.. Light.. Great watch .. Man .. Nice shot.. - Pleasure to look at ! .. :))
.. Unusual piece, I've so far only seen once in the real Have a really great Sunday, Bill ! Best, hs
