Incidental trip
my meeting finished early and the pyramids are so easily accessible from downtown Cairo. One of these business trip windfalls I guess. These monuments are truly breathtaking - and with the new museum to which all the treasures of the present Egyptian treasures of the museum near the Tahrir square will be relocated being constructed just adjacent, the site will be even more obligatory for any traveller in near vicinity.
Glad you liked the picture my friend

Very nice Longines WWW ! :)
I will have to revisit these 40's MIL watches! They speak to me - a lot! :) Best Blomman
Another one I have to find. Lovely Military WWW!
The MoD dial and the Cathedral hands are a feast for the eyes. Great catch, my friend. Nicolas
Bright Thursday pic for Black Friday WS
I hope you will accept my entry Damjan I suspect that you were looking for something more dark... something more obscure I prefer to always have just a little sun to keep Vlad at bay :) Hagwe! Nikolaj ...

For sure there was a lot of rock behind it in the pic :-)
Thanks my friend. I can live with your advice to only go for watches that you already have - a very nice selection to choose from! All the best Nikolaj
Thanks for the compliment. I was more thinking abount the stones (rocks) in the pyramids.
Ahr, this conversation is getting lost in words :-) Anyway thaks for your nice words Nikolaj
Perfect timing, Damjan. The Stones just announced . . .
. . . their tour plans, and it looks like there will be two opportunities to see them in So Cal next month. Black? Works for me! As for yesterday's report card, winless at 3-ball, and lost the final match of the prize money 8-ball tournament . . . . . . t...

The rascal with a pony tail . . .
. . . ran the table on me last week. Yesterday, I returned the favor. The sixth shot was key: a kick with reverse English to pocket a solid just under the nose of a stripe, and I mean just under - maybe a millimeter's worth of clearance.
Last two
pool sequences that you so vividly described got me thinking that I should return to hall ASAP :)
Attaboy! . . .
. . . keep practicing, Damjan. Perhaps you'll be contemplating this . . . . . . as your next watch ;-) . . . ...
White Connie was still on my wrist Wednesday . . .
. . . but Fred was on board with Damjan's theme, wearing his Sub to the match. He's also got a vintage Tudor and a JLC in his collection . . . ...
Forget the Karree - the Stones will be playing . . .
. . . in So Cal May 15th!! Come back, Nicolas - you need to be here :-) . . .
I would love to be here, my friend. I have such a special feeling for So Cal!
And attentding a Rolling Stones concert would be a nice cherry on a superb cake. ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas

They are playing hyde park in London as well. A revisit to their historic concert 40 + years ago. Thats not so far to travel. On 6 Apr 2013 21:57, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* amanico (registered) on April 6th, 2013 - 1...
True! I already booked my tickets for...
The Who, who are playing at Paris Bercy on the 3rd of July! When are the Stones playing in London? Best, Nicolas

I dont actually know. It was on the news and i think its in the summer. I think if you google it you'll get all the details you need. G On 6 Apr 2013 22:11, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* amanico (registered) on April 6th...
I was not a black watch guy until this one ...
My "Steampunk" El Primero: I love the B&W nuances: On a clear day, to see the inner parts: In color, just to see how colorful it is: A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo ...
Still not convinced...
By black cases... One day I hope I find one I fall for... Looks nice on your wrist - but mine, I think not. Best Blomman
Not a problem ...
There are New Vintages for all tastes: Black, Gold and SS. Don't own a gold (not my metal) but you can always chase a SS: Cheers, Nilo ...
Good luck ...
The SS was limited to 500, the Ti to 250 and the Gold to 50. Not rare but I have a friend "dying" for one and so far nothing found. Cheers, Nilo
It's a very nice iteration ...
Zenith did it 100% right, IMHO. The original vintage is a little smaller for today's standard and it carries the 19mm inter lug space. This one is a tad bigger, not too much, and uses the standard (by my book) 20mm lug size. This allow me to practice my f...
I've never understood why brands...
I've never understood why brands do 19 and 21mm lugs when 20 and 22mm would be so much easier. Perhaps its because they only want us to use their straps and bracelets? G On 5 Apr 2013 13:37, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:*...
I believe that is to balance the case size ...
Based on that, my strap "library" has 18,19, 20, 21, 22, 23 (Zenith Stratos) and 24 (no watch, but it can fit the 23 mm). My biggest complain are the watches that sports curved straps (GP loves that). I can fit a standard strap but it requires lots of pat...
Sorry... Blue today...
But at least my coffee is black! ;) Promise to do better tomorrow - probably one of these... HAGWE Blomman ...
The first shot of the Blue Snowdrop is just gorgeous. A winner.
Once again... ;) Best, Nicolas
Hey Bim!
Lucky I didn't winn - or should I say unlucky for you since there will be no Snowdrop in the mail for you! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
you make me want to wear my Polaris 65. Just back from the service.
Runs 3 secs fast per day, a full power reserve. Perfect, now! Hmmm! Best, Nicolas
Awesome and much better than a 24 hours power reserve and
Two minutes slow per day! ;) It needed a good service. Now that the plexy has been changed and the service done, I can wear it without fear for the next 7 / 8 years! Best, my friend. Nicolas
That is good news!
I should do the same with some of my watches... Take a sabbatical from buying new stuff and only focus on fixing some... Easier said than done! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
That is one of my main targets, this year.
Fixing and servicing, rather than adding new pieces in my collection. Well, you know me, if some good and long awaited pieces are coming, I will not be able to resist! Best! Nicolas
It is a difficult watch...
Once you have laied you eyes on her - she will always be in your mine...! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
This is the watch that makes me wish ...
That I was a bigger person. Pure, simple and gorgeous. But not black! Cheers, Nilo
I still think
something is missing on that watch ;) Cool Nicolas just so apropos Yours D
That's one watch I would like to have on my wrist
I had the chance to try it once and despite it 44mm (correct?) I sat well and looked great on my wrist. A really nice one! Best, Martin
Yes, 44 mm but it looks smaller on the wrist, curiously.
Next time you come to Paris, my friend! Best, Nicolas
i'd already planned to wear this tomorrow which is a coincidence

Thanks Damjan. Its one of 4 ltd ed pieces i have by an english ceramic artist who specialises in crackle glaze. 2 ceramic items together just seemed appropriate. Have a great weekend G. On 4 Apr 2013 22:14, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosit...
Only one choice for me
Hi All Only one choice for me - my one and only black dialed watch. Not that I'm complaining mind :-) Black Dial The back Cheers JML ...
I'm complaining bitterly...
about the one that I missed by 20 minutes or so :) A beauty it is this black Memovox! Nikolaj

Thats got to be my favourite alarm watch mr JML. The sapphire back is just perfect. Best G On 4 Apr 2013 22:49, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* jml_watches (registered) on April 4th, 2013 - 14:49 > > *Title: Only one choic...
My favourite too
Hi Graham Yup its my favourite too & I do have a weakness for alarm watches. Its also a great size. Think there are other crystal backed alarms out there - seem to recall a Poljot I saw a year or so back. Cheers JML
I've heard your model and...
I've heard your model and the sapphire back makes it sound so much better although both the re editions have a great sound as well. My Cricket is not a particularly good sound, but better than some cheap models. Best G On 5 Apr 2013 21:37, "www watchprosi...
He, he... Poking the Vlad, eh?! ;)
Its a great watch! Wish JLC would do another Memovox with crystal back... Best Blomman
Back already, sadly...
Although my family is still there while daddy works to pay the bills... and the watches... ;)

The force

Love it...
Great strap too... mine is on the Asultamente strap but I keep meaning to get my black Jules Verne put on for a change. Having seen this I'm going to get mine out for next week :) Yours, Andy.
I'll be wearing my ceramic...
I'll be wearing my ceramic when we meet Andy. It would be good to compare the two. I've tested the scratch resistance on mine and can confirm that you cant scratch it :) G On 7 Apr 2013 17:38, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By...
I'll bring it as long as you don't test its scratch resistance..!!
have you ever seen the black Jules Verne strap..? Moi.
Nope dont think so. You...
Nope dont think so. You had it on a black calf strap last time. I'm wearing my ocean7 on a water monitor lizard strap which gives it a different edge. It only came with rubber which i hate as you know. G On 7 Apr 2013 18:06, "www watchprosite" *Alert from...
Not into rubber eh....
ha ha....mine is on the Asultimente at the moment.... The Jules Verne is a nubuck aligator, they come in honey or black. Just imagine a scaly aligator which is as soft as a babies bum..!! Moi. ...
