 By: Tim Jackson : September 20th, 2019-09:49
Please submit your offerings to be judged fairly and judiciously ;-) well I actually submit with bias, but then we are NOT in a court of law! Romans: Arabics: I'm excited to see what is shown this week, as a lover of Romans, my heart usually points me in ...  

Great theme, buddy!

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : September 20th, 2019-09:58
I will start off with a very diplomatic offering ...  

Excellent piece, was thinking a Claifornia dial would show up somewhere...

Great pictures 👍 Is there any explanation as to why they made it like this?

I guess there is no explanation for this dial dear Christian...

Dear Abel, thank you so much

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 21st, 2019-12:14
this is very interesting. I thought it was a Panerai invention. The whole Rolex Bubbleback chapter is something I hardly know anything about but I am sure it has a huge following for a very good reason. What a wonderful advertisement you posted, btw. HAGW... 

My big pleasure Christian!! Agree that Bubblebacks is a ...

I 've long wondered why that dial design was given the 'California' moniker . . .

I think you just won your own competition. I really have a big thing for the VH. My only concern is if it would get enough wrist time. But every time I see a picture of it I’m thinking that I want one..

Christian, not sure I can win as the host...

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 20th, 2019-23:20
It is a theme I’ve thought long about as previously stated, my preference tend towards Romans and in my collection they feature more prominently. However, two of my very fav. pieces are the VH Classic and the L&H Georg. Both Arabic! Hence the dichotomy of... 

One each...

Since I jumped the gun earlier. Roman from Romain And Arabic from Romain ...  

Excellent, pure and classy!

The HM in plat just squeaks by as the winner of these two for me. But both are genius! Cheers

Only thing nicer than the platinum would be the rose gold HM.

Not so sure -

Lots of tough competition including several independents like The debethune and your NHC. Besides - the judge and I are always on opposite sides of the table so sure he’ll have preference for someone else

I’m a lover of all things horological...

Always my pleasure my friend! [nt]

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 22nd, 2019-13:43

I am sure you expected no other one than this one from me today for its Roman numerals ;-)

 
 By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-05:12
Last pic credit : amanico few days ago... But since we are in Romans I cannot forget my grandfather's watch from 1865... And to echo your pic I'll post a hyper cool one with Arabics that I photographed at Vianney's workshop a month and a half ago during m...  

fantastic choice Mike !

 
 By: Seeks : September 21st, 2019-05:21

Mike, it looks ike you are doing it again, LOL

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 21st, 2019-07:16
Is that VH yours? Amazing!!

Do you like it ?

 
 By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-08:00
Or do you prefer this one?... But as duo it is even better isn’t it ? 🤪 ...  

Ah, the 20th Anniversary and the original!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:20
That’s a stunning pair. Cheers

Yes, It is really haunting me at the moment

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 21st, 2019-08:30
WOW, what a set! I think I still prefer the blue hands that is an important factor for me. thanks for sharing

Unless you prefer this one ?

 
 By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-13:41
Or this one maybe, it is stunning imho... ...  

Thanks for the sleepless night my friend 😬

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : September 22nd, 2019-00:09
😁 there all amazing . I hope to add one of these one day 🙏🏻 any will do

Mike, there are three potential winners there!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:17
The LF I’ve loved since setting eyes and handling one in Basel many moons ago! Your PW with the Guilloche Dial is superb, plus a family piece to boot. Well the WG VH Classic with the RG Dial is the natural sibling to mine! Perhaps one day I’ll come across... 

Well the 2 VH are not mine...

 
 By: Mike H : September 21st, 2019-08:21
I shot them at Vianney’s workshop when I was there this summer 😉 Cool watches actually...

Ah, that workshop!!!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:43
I too had a wonderful visit many summers ago now, the attic was fascinating too, many amazing machines 😜 Happy to hear you visited. Fond memories for me. Cheers

Amazing entries my friend . That LF is just stunning

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : September 21st, 2019-13:34
But that VH with a Salmon dial is the cherry on the cake imho . I would love to add that watch one day

Superb choices Mike!! All charming examples...

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 21st, 2019-15:02
... of Roman indexes. Not bad the Arabic dial you show of course!! Hagwe Mike! Abel

i don't have a watch with full arabic numeral...

 
 By: terbaboom : September 21st, 2019-05:59
so here's my wife's 40mm J12 and just for sharing, since i also don't have a watch with roman numeral, here's a shot when i was trying on the mystery watch ...  

Cool shots!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:22
The VC Overseas is excellent! Certainly qualifies! Thank you for playing this weekend😉 Cheers

Thanks! [nt]

Thank you for entering these two!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:25
I like the composition too, have been a big fan of Tutima for a while. Good folks doing really good watches reasonably. The vintage piece has a lovely Dial! Cheers

The Titus is lovely. [nt]

Thank you for these two lovely wristshots. That DeBethune is a new model for me. Looks to be an early piece??? Love it. Cheers

It's a DB 3

 
 By: Hamster07 : September 21st, 2019-20:22
A duel time watch with 7 days power reserve. Interestingly, this watch uses the golden moon as the PR indicator, showing the minimum and maximum. All functions are adjusted through the crown in 3 positions.

Brilliant, thank you for the details!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-22:58
Much appreciated. From what time period where these made? solid or open back? Cheers, Tim

Circa 2003

 
 By: Hamster07 : September 22nd, 2019-01:23
The watch has a 42mm case with an in-house hand-wound mechanical movement. The case back is solid and individually numbered. Not sure about the total amount of production though.

Good to know. Thank you! [nt]

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 22nd, 2019-13:53

2 beauties😍 [nt]

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : September 22nd, 2019-09:24

Well it seems I have lots of Arabics...

 
 By: InDebtButOnTime : September 21st, 2019-08:37
lots of batons and only a few with Romans. This whole thing got me to thinking strange thoughts, would there even be any timepieces with a digital readout without Arabics? How would the speedo on my Ninja look with Romans (Yikes)! Anyway here's a piece I ...  

Great Junghans!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : September 21st, 2019-08:46

Not seen too often. ...  

Great theme Tim!! I felt like playing like Thegrailwatch...

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 21st, 2019-09:44
... with a Cali dial. You show two superb examples of Roman index watches to open the thread. You know it’s not easy for me to restrict a post to just a couple of shots! But here they are: no more than two! Lol! Roman and Arabic both are very nice to view...  

Thank you so much amigo Nicolas!! Glad you like it!

 
 By: Subexplorer : September 21st, 2019-14:01
