Hello dear Friends! Watches are a very personal and intimate object that human beings treasure so much wether we are passionate collectors or just traditional watch users.. An special watch is usually chosen to celebrate a personal milestone in our lives:...
Great shots of your Rolex dear Abel...

The Explorer is a personal favourite and an timeless design. In fact in many ways it’s possibly the perfect watch to own.
My first real watch

The beginning of a row. A milestone itself. ...
If you make the first

Haha .. You just used the perfect word !
My special watch...
By: kev09 : January 10th, 2020-07:35
...is this Rolex Explorer 1016. It was my first new “proper” watch and bought in 1986 after a long (oh so long!) period of saving up. Finally, it was mine and I can still remember the great feeling of walking out of the shop with it on my wrist. It became...
My most treasured watch.
By: Catulle : January 10th, 2020-07:58
I was going to school in Paris in the early seventies. Final exams were approaching, I felt pressured to do well, hectic times, I could not miss the exams schedule. I didn’t have a watch. I hardly had any money. It was a different era. Walking by Châtelet...

Great memories....

And a good investment at $4 !
A second entry, if I may.
By: Catulle : January 10th, 2020-08:06
My mother gave me a watch for my first job. Such wonderful watch. I wore it with pride. An automatic watch with date, amazing. Every morning I’d strap it to my wrist and feel like the most accomplished professional. I keep it in a special box with my Besa...
The last, I promise.
By: Catulle : January 10th, 2020-08:10
The first expensive watch I bought. Used it for many years at work, hunting, fishing, diving, riding motorcycles... After many years of use and abuse I sent it to Rolex NY and had it back looking and functioning like the first day. It is now enjoying a we...
Oh, rhe 114270!
By: Mary Anny : January 10th, 2020-08:12
I should have bought it in 1999! Next decade, for my sixtieth anniversary, perhaps. Hope they'll go back to 36mm. Thanks for reminding me that, Abel. Simone

Great theme dear Abel
By: Watchonthewrists : January 10th, 2020-12:22
A watch that means so much for me is my Christiaan vd Klaauw Mondial. I ordered the watch almost 17 years ago when my wife was pregnant and when it was ready my daughter was born so i asked mr Christiaan vd Klaauw if he could engrave the name and date of ...
Beautiful watch...
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 11th, 2020-04:15
I love the fact that you had the rotor engraved.
Bought for a milestone birthday...
By: RabidManatee : January 10th, 2020-14:12
... and I celebrated yet another birthday just a day ago! My 114270 says hello Unfortunately I just heard that one of my favorite musicians is no longer with us. Rest in peace, Mr. Peart. ...
Merci! [nt]

When I found out I won a big court case in 2006, I felt such a surge of euphoria that I immediately left the office to do something I'd never done before: buy a "nice watch." I did no research of any kind, and I knew nothing about watches. The closest wat...
Yep ....
By: Chromatic Fugue : January 10th, 2020-15:23
Not one of my more astute purchases. When I traded it for the Explorer, I got pennies on the dollar.
Dear Abel...
By: S F : January 10th, 2020-20:58
While I do not celebrate an occasion/milestone with a watch or anything, I do count 2 watches marking different "milestone" for me in this hobby. Cheers! Modern - The JLC Sun Moon, my first serious modern watch. Vintage - And my first vintage GMTM which o...

A good start Abel!
By: fernando : January 11th, 2020-00:07
Wearing this one today, so might as well take some pics. This one was picked up at an airport last year while I had some free time to browse the shops. An early birthday present for myself was the justification. HAGWE! fernando ...
Yes they are!
By: fernando : January 11th, 2020-00:16
This was the second time at the same shop. First was the Railmaster. ...
Mile Stones ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 11th, 2020-05:28
There have been many and in the “early days” buying my first Rolex to have on my wrist every day was a mile stone in itself. That watch departed long ago, one of the very few that I let go. I wore this vintage Patek Philippe on my Wedding day and will che...
Thank you dear Abel...
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 11th, 2020-05:47
Enjoy your weekend and thank you for being a great host.
I believe the box Worshipful Anderson was being presented . . .
By: Dr No : January 11th, 2020-12:02
. . . carried something else, Nicolas - if memory serves correct, it was silverware. The photo was taken in March '58, so the watch on his wrist is not the Seamaster. He was, though, elected Master of all Masons in California the same week I was born. The...

Having met John & Stephen in Dublin, June 2006 through a mutual friend, Peter Speake-Marin and witnessed the very first McGonigle watch, their Tourbillon, it's been a goal to one day some how acquire one of their watches. For many, many years, the outlook...

Appreciate your friendship and excitement for Independent Watchmaker’s work. Cheers! Tim
Hhmmm..
By: KamalRostov : January 11th, 2020-18:58
I had this 5164 in advance for my supposedly retirement. And this WG Daytona to mark my actual retirement! So technically, two watches to mark a milestone. I’m not complaining though... 😊 ...
1 Date, 2 Milestones, 8 Watches
By: Jurry : January 12th, 2020-02:26
I’ve taken the liberty of changing your “one watch one milestone” into “1 date, 2 milestones, 8 watches” And there is very special reason for that. 1 DATE August 2017 2 MILESTONES We learned that my wife was for one year free of cancer whilst year before ...
Thank you my friend
By: Jurry : January 12th, 2020-04:53
Your words mean a lot to me and are very much appreciated. Hope we’ll meet one day for real
