In terms of friendliness, the Sonata with its alarm and GMT is a champion.
While the JLC MMR is pure magic.
The PP is a dream.
And the Rolex GMTs are pure rapture.
No, I can't choose between magic, dream, rapture and friendliness...
No, I can't.
No.. I don't want to. 
Best,

Wristscan for 29th May - Complications
Apologies for starting this a little early..... This week's topic is "complications". What is your favourite complication? Minute repeater? Amagnetic? Central second hand? Automatic? Water-proof? GMT? World Time? Lume? No lume? Chronograph. Or maybe pure ...
Well, Let me think a bit.. My fav complications are pretty simple ones ! :)
.. along these lines and your intro, dear Joe, I deliberated a bit: - is it a single complication ? ( actually I don't have any watch with high- end complication(s).. - a World Time or Geographic ? - well, to me more indication, than complication.. - moon...
That is a good watch to pic!
You have so many complications in one - like a kinder egg! ;) Hour, Minute, Sub-second, Big date, Day-Night indication, Reverso, GMT, GMT indicator, 24 hour indicator, Power reserve..... Did I miss any? Great choice, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
The first photo is really cool. Farniente at its best, my friend.
And a Reverso, and a friendly complication. What's not to love? All the best, Nicolas
Thx so much for your kind words.. And yes, in moments..
.. like this, life is so goot & sweet.. Our little drink together, " au bord de la Seine", in the deck chairs after a cool ride in your cabrio, also counts to those... To many more of these moments !! Thanks & Cheers, Best, hs
I am torn between Alarms, GMTs, and the Minute Repeater...
A special mention for the Sonata, which is an Alarm AND a GMT. HAGWE, All. Nicolas ...
Stunning complications, Nicolas! :)
This why I never want to choose! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Each & every one of these.. easily qualifies to be chosen.. Thus..
.. I can understand, that you can't decide for only one ! My humble personal picks, if allowed, would go for the JLC MR, the UN Sonata and the PP World Time - yet, as you can see .. - that way, I have not even touched the Rolex " Magic Bag" ! ;) But also ...
In terms of friendliness, the Sonata with its alarm and GMT is a champion.
While the JLC MMR is pure magic. The PP is a dream. And the Rolex GMTs are pure rapture. No, I can't choose between magic, dream, rapture and friendliness... No, I can't. No.. I don't want to. ;) Best, Nicolas
Your last statement said it all.. You don't want to.. Rightfully so ! ;)
.. we understand you, and will dispense you from this cruel exercise.. - The judges will have their iwn problem ! ;) ;) Best, hs
Since life is a complication on its own ..
.. i'll keep it simple :-) HAGWE !! Bim ...
That is a great philosophy, Bim! :)
All the best for the weekend, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
I have to say...
.......i a a big fan of simplicity. I like complications when I "need" them, but that is so rarely the case...so yes....simplicity is a great take.
Two watches...
Four of my favorite complications: - Alarm - Diver (Waterproof) - Antimagnetic - Chronometer But the most difficult complication that both of these watches have: for me they are Grail's, Reserve de Patron, call it what you want... They form the core of wh...
Well, I know some hideaways.....
But far from all.... Still working on this topic. ;) Best Blomman
I hope I will not disappoint...
I am currently working on the GP Summer menu..... ;) Best, dear friend Blomman
Oh boy........
This forum is in trouble......... We have Vlad AND Vader here among us!! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Seems as though once grey Karrée is out of . . .
. . . his usual resting place, he doesn't want to go back! The safe box in the bank must be a cold and dark place ;-) . . .
Aahhh.. The great grey Karré.. I was waiting for this one !.. Beach shot 'en grise'
.. these Karrés from GO are always revelations ! All the Best & HAGWE ! hs
This is Mr Grey's last fling . . .
. . . in the sunshine for a long time, h; back to the safe deposit box until his turn gets called again!
I love this shot....
.....makes me want to grab some bags and head to the sea.....and of course contemplate which watch to take!!
Whirling, spinning, mesmurising...
I can't help getting lost in a tourbillon... Here's a few from the last couple of weeks... Sports watch...? An uncomplicated breakfast... Complicated but simple with jeans... Or one to dress up in... Cheers Andrew ...
An uncomplicated complication
My favorite complications are the ones that are so clean you don't know they're there. This is doubly true of the Nomos Tangomat, probably the "cleanest" watch ever made. White faces and silver bezels It's actually hard to see the complication in the Nomo...
I would own one, I would have said the same.
Well, the draw is a bit nightmaresque, though... ;) Best, Nicolas?
No wonder, Matt.. With this Vintage marvel ..many of us would be veeery happy.. :)
.. I guess I saw Chapter ring & PCG.. Greetings & HAGWE ! hs
thanks Hans!
Yes, this one is a bit like a full option one! PCG, CR, Gilt, SWISS, and exclamation point!...all original 1960! Matt
Moon and tides
Launched in the late 40s/early 50s per Abercrombie & Fitch department store request and based on the Solunar theory, this Seafater made by Heuer offers a moon and tides cycles complication shown on the rotating disc on the left Definitely the ultimate...
Back to basic
Hand wound and time only, clean and simple, classic silver dial... and a work of art inside... Best Regards Livius ...
Great looking movement!
Lovely photos, Livius! I think this is the first time you have showed us the movement on the Minerva. Best Blomman
Cal. 48
Thank You Blomman, your pictures isn't bad either... Never seen pictures of the cal. 48 before? Designed by André Frey in 1943, produced by Minerva from 1943 to about 1960, and again from 1995 to 2001. and a drawing signed by the Master... Best Regards Li...
It looks really robust built!
Thank you for these extra pics, Livius! It is a great looking movement! :) Best Blomman
If i was walking past a watch shop....
.....and saw that....i would have trouble passing! Beautiful
You're damn righ...
... considering it comes with its full set, including box, papers, buckle and original elephant leather bracelet, all in especially good shape for a 61 years old watch ...
Simple...?!
I have been searching for years to find one like your.... Without luck! Stunning watch! Best Blomman
Powerreserve for me
simple yet useful. I like PR indicators, they are useful and give a dial something special. Here an example from my collection: GP Sea Hawk II "To John Harrison" Check out the fine pattern on the PR dial. HAGWE, CC ...
