Beautiful WS session again, very cool entries but making my task more difficult !

No way out there are 2 beautiful entries that had to be mentioned as special mention deserving honors :

Nitediver for both his superb Eberhard chronograph and his very a propos composition


Ans S F for his cool gilt 1675 with PCG and exclamation point


Now comes the podium :

Third place : Nicolas Duomètre à Chronographe is still as impressive as when I saw it the first time and surely deserves to be on the podium



Second place goes to hs111 for his Ochs & Junior. It could / should have been in first place if the pole position would not have been reserved to another top cool Independant…



And the winner is… NT931 for his awesome Remontoire : cool picture of a superb Watch made by 2 great guys, fantastic mix imho



Thank you all for your participation and have a great week ahead smile,
Mike

And of course thank you your Honor for the special mention 😉

Great Rolex lineup Mike ..

Have you had the “Big Red” long ?

YES since quite long...

 
 By: Mike H : November 25th, 2018-14:04
Yes since quite long… in my dreams, but actually fews months that I have reserved it, and only few weeks that I took delivery of it after I could pay the seller. In other words it was a looong process ! I sometimes overpay my watches if they are exception... 

I totally agree with you ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : November 25th, 2018-14:09
about price Mike. I have done the same. Thanks for sharing that.

Platinum words, Mike. [nt]

And congrats to NT931!! Best, Nomad.

It’s a pleasure, your GP high beat is a very cool watch

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : November 25th, 2018-11:29
Have you had it long ?

Just a month, so this is its first photo unveiling ;-)

 
 By: nomadgiles : November 25th, 2018-12:38
I was looking for a 32Cal to compliment the other GP high beats, and the case shape was the icing on the cake.

The case is a very nice design [nt]

Thank you Abel..

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : November 25th, 2018-14:14
The finish on the Grönefeld looks very good. I had to mention your watches as the photos looked great, especially the water photo. Hope you have a good week.

Thank you Abel ! [nt]

Thank you Cpt Scarlet & everyone for your kind comments about the Gronefeld, and congrats to the other winners & special mentions too. I'll be on vacation soon, but yes, I will do my best to write a review and take some more pictures (and maybe a video) o... 

Wrist shot verdict

 
 By: jml_watches : November 25th, 2018-09:46
Hi all Some great shots as ever, though this week there's a definite Japanese vibe to the results ! First two honourable mentions - both Grand Seikos, which I think highlights it slowly coming out of the shadows. Both superb watches and great wrist shots....  

Good call ! ..,

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : November 25th, 2018-13:01
It’s never easy

Thanks for the mention, JML!

Good morning all. As usual a lot of quality in this thread and I would say all are winners! But as always, some choices have to be made. Some special mentions to MikeH for his wonderful pictures of some amazing Rolexes. SF for staying on the autumn theme,...
