It's midnight in India
Ok, I do not live there, but as I will not the have the time tomorrow I have to post my Friday wrist shot now. Finally, after sacrificing the Paris GTG to the office's demands, I will be leaving for an extended motorcycle trip in the Alps tomorrow morning...
Let me check on my World Time Chrono...
Naaah, not Midnight, yet... HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas...
Not midnight ...
... yet ??? That's because it runs tooooo slooooow ..... Hagwe mon ami, when wil i see you ? Filip
Really? I have to check it.
I'm working on my small trip in Belgium, Filip... Will tell you soon! Best, Nicolas
When will we see You????
We will turn around your questions, Filip....when do we see YOU???? You need to stay up and not go to sleep too early!
You'll most probably ...
... see me and my family in july 2011 ........................
Nice, but some observations about your world time...
Fiji is spelt Fidji and Jakarta is spelt Djakarta. Is that French spelling? Everyplace else is in English. Bagdad instead of Baghdad. Or are both spellings correct? Hawaii instead of Honolulu? At 11 o'clock, Island. What/where is that? Regardless, a very ...
Island = Iceland . . .
. . . home of the unpronounceable volcano that put a halt to travel for many this spring . . .
Very nice, Nicolas! :)
Is it a original tropical strap? Looks great, my friend Blomman
You have big sleeves!!! :)
I guess we all hide something under our sleeves… Best, my friend Blomman
A brilliant wrist shot Nicolas...
you make me feel the need for something vintage . Best Drew
That would be interesting, Drew.
I'm sure you'll find many treasures to cherish. These big Vintage JLC Chronos are a solution, indeed. Best, my friend. Nicolas
I will...
I am working on a review about this watch. I can just tell you, for the moment, that it belongs to the Vintage Divers family. Best, Nicolas
you seem to have a different vintage piece on your wrist every week Nicolas
each one a recent aquisition. i thought it was only me that bought 2 watches a week, or used too very nice looking world timer. now i have a world timer, i'm looking for an interesting dual time/gmt. best Graham
Well, not a real World Timer, Graham,
But a cool watch, for sure... I'm hiding some of my additions for later, so, no, not 2 watches per week, this is your privilege, my friend. Best! Nicolas
With Dual time
It is over midnight in the East...I've been enjoying this big Lange this week as we exchanged watches with a friend Enjoy your Friday and HAGWE, it's going to be hot!...Matt...
any info?
Hi Rupert, I need some Lange experts, I don't know much about Lange, this is not my watch, it belongs to a German friend who normaly only has genuine watches. I only borrowed the watch for some minutes as I never got to wear one before, I am having some d...
sorry Matt - it is definitely a fake
even without seeing the back there are 2 major signs that it is - the large date and the second timezone on the right - it is supposed to be a power reserve indicator I am really sorry for your German friend - that is if he believes that this Lange is gen...
Definitively a Fake, Matt...
I hope your friend didn't waste too much money, my friend. An ugly fake. 0 Doubt on this. Best, Nicolas
Hi, Matt - perhaps I misunderstood your . . .
. . . comment. Did you exchange a watch from your collection for this one? Puzzled, Art
swaped just for a short period!
Actually I am having some doubts, this watch belongs to a German friend who otherwise has nice and genuine watches and is really not into kafes, I don't know much about Lange but with the questions on the forum regarding this one I am doubting if it is a ...
real fake?
Oliver, you are an expert, you confirm this is a fake? Last week is the first time I saw some Lange in real with you and Dirk. If this one is indeed fake, damn it I need to inform my friend! Matt
Seems atypical Matt...
The Lange 'signature' in such watches is the big date, as in - The date window in your friend's watch is not a 'big' date. There is no hand for the power reserve, no date corrector button and no indices for the 'second time zone' hands. It's not looking g...
Thanks for the info
shit I really hate this!...but there is no doubt, on top of it, the watch is really big, I have a big wrist and the watch is at least 46/47 mm if not more. I am really sorry about that, at least I learned something...my watches are less prestigious but at...
Could be worse, Matt...
... the swap could have been a permanent one! Now you face that sticky question of 'what to say to the friend?'. Conventional wisdom says it's hard to be a winner - perhaps better not to go there. All the best.... Cheers, pplater.
Hi Matt
I just wonder why the hell would someone copy a watch that doesn t exist?What is the point on that?A least do a faithful copy......It is funny how AUF and AB were left on the dial ,at this point they don t mean anything.....oh dear...... Sorry for your fr...
Some details are not that bad ...
but look at the very small Big Date , the overall layout of the dial, ... and on top there never has been a Dual Time in the ALS collection (so far). Still would like to see the backside/movement Oliver
I'm on a Ti mood
What a week! Work + work and ... more work. I love the mechanical/technical look of this watch. A mix of Jules Verne and a UFO. Cheers and a great weekend for all, Nilo...
I' m under the charm of the very domed sapphire glass.
And the magic is that you don't have too much distorsion despite this super domed glass. A miracle. Great picture, too. Best, Nicolas
Great UFO, Nilo! :)
I am sorry, but you were right about the World cup team… HAGWE Blomman
Thanks, Tom!
Yes, I was very lucky some years ago… + Paper, box and buckle – all in perfect condition HAGWE Blomman
My favourite IWC…
The only one I can think of that I rather would have is an original Aquatimer…! But it might be because I don’t know IWC enough… Thank you, Art. Thanks to you and some other gentlemen here in the Friday-WS, I am currently in a vintage mo...
Nothing like the classics
I like this Ingenieur very much. Much more in fact than the modern iteration. Give me the classics any day. That torch obviously came in handy! Andrew
True, true!
A classic will always be the Winner in the end! Thank you, Andrew! And thank you for encourage me to do another dive in the back of the safe. HAGWE Blomman
That’s good to hear, Richard! :)
Thank you, Richard. Will try to take some better photos this weekend. HAGWE Blomman
...Then , for me to, then. :)
No doubt between the modern and the original! whnen I see this Ingenieur, I'm dreaming of building an Antimagnetic thema: The JLC Geophysic, the Omega Railmaster, the Rolex Milgauss, and this superb Ingenieur... That would be such an exciting thema! Best,...
That really would be an exciting theme, Nicolas! :)
Thank you, my friend for your kind words! Yes, to have the antimagnetic icons from different brands would really be something! Another theme I know you hunt, and I am thinking about to start searching for (when ever I am able to break free from JLC, that ...
Aaah, the Vintage Divers...
My almost first love! I still have to find the Polaris 65, the IWC Ref 812 ( the one on the pic you posted ), a Super Compressor Droz, a Super Compressor Bulova, and a last Blancpain FF, to end this thema. We are totally nuts! Best, Nicolas
The end to a solemn week, but …
… also a week to remember the life and contribution of Nicolas George Hayek (19 February 1928 – 28 June 2010) to horology. So lets use this weeks WristScan thread to share the love of horology and show our appreciation for a life well led. Thankyou Mr Hay...
Great memories
And an outstanding wrist shot. That is also the reason that my pic shows a Breguet. Cheers, Nilo
Breguet
Thanks Nilo I suspected that was why you had posted such a Breguet portrait. Mr Hayek was such an advocate for this venerable brand name. I included a couple of non-SwatchGroup watches in my shot as well, but I think Mr Hayek’s motivation was to sup...
What a "Hayekesk" wrist shot, Andrew!
Splendid collection of yours and apart from he Breguet absolutely my taste ! Best regards, anaesdoc
Thanks anaesdoc ...
This was the first time I have tried to wear multiple watches like this and it is rather uncomfortable! Not sure how Mr Hayek did this regularly. Part of the difficulty is that I like to wear my watches snuggly and don't like them slipping about, and the ...
Well done...
But of the 4 watches, which one is telling the correct time? Regards, Richard.
good post, Andrew...
... by the way, saw you have a memovox? can share with us more pics if you are much free later. thanks. stefan
Great homage, Andrew!
Is that an Memovox Ref 3150 in rosegold you are hiding under your sleeve?! Please feel free to share some photos over at the JLC forum! We don’t see them around that often… HAGWE Blomman
Sharp eyes, Blomman ...
Give me a little more time and I will share the Memovox with you. I don't have the tools to open the case and need to get a watchmaker to do so to confirm the movement and serial number. Even a peek is nice, though, isn't it? Andrew
To have a peek is great…
…to see more, even better! Looking forward to see some more over at JLC forum! Best Blomman
It looks like a Pink Floyd Cover Album...
" the Bright Side of the Moon "... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Hey Flip!...New Broad Arrow Speedy just in :-))
The dial on this piece is awesome. I need to try and capture it, anlong with the truly amazing blued hands and indices. Love your Speedy. Original bond-clip type bracelet...Way cool :-D Happy Independence Day to everyone in the U.S., and who loves Liberty...

Mine was +12 h from yours LOL Indeed Happy Independence Day! Best, -- Richard.
Thanks Stefan Ma...
No..this is not a seiko 6105. This is seiko 6309 7040 so call Turtle. This watch have a 43.5mm body w/o crown n 45mm from lug to lug. It have 17 jewels automatic movement run perfectly. Here is the photo of the movement, hope u like it :o) Best Chung...
i like these oyster cases...
i heard a lot of interesting stories about 6105. i am not familiar with 6309, but it seems both models have oyster casing. the movement in your 6309 looks great. Vintage Seiko calibers are very reliable and high standard. congrats on your nice piece. stef...
Something fun
...ahead of the long holiday weekend here in the States (Independence Day)...
Great pic, Tom!
Is it a “build your own watch kit” from LEGO?! :: )) Have a great 4 th of July! Blomman
G.O or GS ....
Not sure...GS been getting the most wrist time lately. This watch gives me Goosebumps. " src="/img/watchprosite/wristscan/81/scaled/wristscan_image.1790281.jpg"> IMO Perfect watch Inside and out Another one of my Favorites ! Fun watch for strap changes....
Another try to post this pic...
IMO Perfect inside and out This message has been edited by aboen on 2010-07-01 21:03:01...
Damn, that's what I call . . .
. . . a tough call! Just about the only watch that would come between a G O and a G S in my estimation would be an O m e G a ;-) . . .
i love the B Type Pilot Dial
Sweet looking GO. i'm wearing the Steinhart today. and i love it ;0)) good weekend everyone Tony...
the Steinhart has a nice finish to the movement for the price.
what movement do they use Tony? it doesnt look like a Unitas, but i notice its a ltd ed so is it a vintage movement?? please pass on more details. best Graham
hi Graham
it is a based on UNITAS and Modified to Center Second. i think what makes it look a little different from the other Modified Unitas is the 16 fold Geneva Stripes . where by the usual Unitas has about 8 Stripes. ) it is a beautiful Piece and a lot of Watch...
Terrific movement photo, Drew . . .
. . . if you don't mind, please share it on the G O forum . . . thanks, Art
