Specially one of them brings me some wonderful memories and joy! Thank you!! Having a virtual GTG is a superb idea, and a most suitable one under the present circumstances. And it will help us to let our minds fly for a few moments of enjoyment out of the...

I thought I’d wear the definitive Grand Seiko to start, the Snowflake. Here you guys can check out its ultralight titanium and lovely dial while I dig in the case for the next watch ... it's got to be a classic to fit in here: And now for something totall...
I was going to guess 5 years

How time flies ....
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 20th, 2020-10:50
It’s a great watch. Can I ask what made you pull the trigger and buy it ?
I’ve been puzzling about that
By: cazalea : March 20th, 2020-21:50
I can’t remember the circumstances — only that it seemed so Jules Verne and I loved his books ...
Quite the selection!
By: KMII : March 21st, 2020-23:59
Some heavy hitting Seiko’s there and a Sinnful B&R 👌🏻 And my favorite has to be the Classic!
I hate to be late , especially on a nice GTG like this 🤗
By: Watchonthewrists : March 20th, 2020-07:12
Love these event,s , they always put a smile on my face . I hope you don't mind me bringing a wide variation of watches a table shot is mandatory imo Great seeing you all here Now i need a drink 🥃, 🥂 cheers ...

I think you need some help... that watch case looks heavy ;-)) .... Help yourself to a drink and let me look after that Vianney Halter for you 😉
As we always say...
By: KMII : March 22nd, 2020-00:01
The more, the merrier 😉 Looking forward to those drinks live at some point again! And your collection is really exquisite 👌🏻
Thank you.

I like the variety of watches you have ... What’s your current favourite ?
The dial process
By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : March 20th, 2020-10:31
I am into all the technical details how to produce dials. But as a main approach you apply diffetent specific colored lacquer on the surface (called „sapon“). It takes many trials to find the right colors. Then you apply the different decorations on the r...
Wow ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 20th, 2020-13:07
Welcome Rascal 🥂... that’s a great entrance. Can you tell us how long you have had this beauty ?
Love this one
By: Rascal : March 20th, 2020-16:07
Since it came out in 17. Last year I did trade a 5513 gilt chocolate, an AP royal oak LE and a stunning 1680 plus a fair amount and I was able to ad it to my collection 😋 My favorite modern patek 😉
Sorry I'm late...

Is it okay if I bring along some friends from my birthday party? It's been a "watch-full" birthday here, starting with an early gift from my wonderful wife, a "Build A Watch" class where I made this: Hardly Haute Horology but special in its own way. Then ...
Happy birthday dear Kent !....
By: Cpt Scarlet : March 20th, 2020-12:54
That’s a great wife you have 🥂 Enjoy your new Tudor it looks great on your wrist. Thanks for joining us this weekend. Best wishes Cpt Scarlet
Thank you!
By: kkochheiser : March 20th, 2020-20:28
You are too kind. I’m finding it an unusually frustrating watch to photograph without my light box. Reflective case and crystal with a deep, dark and subtle dial. I’ll keep working at it, the watch demands it! Kent
Thank you Abel!
By: kkochheiser : March 21st, 2020-15:51
It was quite an experience starting here: Humbling, I must say! ...
I can well understand you Kent!!
By: Subexplorer : March 22nd, 2020-10:21
I always became dizzy every time I just take a look to the innards of my watches! Lol! I always marvel about the work of watchmakers! A true art! Cheers! Abel
Happy birthday Kent!
By: KMII : March 22nd, 2020-00:07
And to many happy returns! Looks like they are watch connected - which is excellent 😊
Whooowa awesome entry

Submariners are a great watch for the “real” Bond. I’m just a humble fan since I was a teenager in the early 1960’s. I enjoy and love so much Submariners and viewing Bond films. Cheers! Abel

I only get to wear the Speedy when my son visits, as it was his first serious watch and I am proud that he has looked after it so well over the years. I am fortunate I was able to regroup the whole family. I have friends with children stuck in South Ameri...

As traveling with many watches is difficult at the moment...
By: KMII : March 21st, 2020-23:10
And I simply mean to and from the location we live generally, it would have to be single ones. Let’s see... Most likely this: Or this - both community watch and disinfectable at the same time 😉 Or the watch that brought me here in a St. Patrick’s outfit? ...
Thanks a lot, Radone!

Thank You. This is Hirsch Lizard strap.

You can buy them practically everywhere online. Hirsch is doing this strap for 2-3 decades and is perfect for slim watches.

I recommend to see my recent tip (DIY) on JLC sub-forum - how adopt any strap to Reverso case to avoid pointy lugs. This is problem of TT1931 case.
