Late but still my Three for Casey
The first one is in honor of both Casey and Ken.
Fedex left that annoying "We Missed You" note on my door, regarding Ken's shipment from Japan.
Rather than wait, I drove across town and caught the driver just as he returned to the depot.
Rather than wait, I tore the package open in the parking lot, opened my car, and spread out all the contents.
Has anyone else Bin there, Dun that?
My favorite IWC perpetual, in the oyster shells of Puget Sound, on the day of my mother's memorial service...
(for context, Japan is just a few thousands miles thataway ...)
Finally, my luckiest shot ever, with my poor eyesight I had no idea there was a reflection in the MIH crystal, until I "developed" this image on the big screen.

Let's honor Casey this weekend by sharing three of our best watch photos . . .
. . . ever. Casey was our Photography Forum moderator for many years until his passing in February. I had relatively few interactions with him but he was a valued colleague, always willing to help judge this theme of Personal Best at least three, maybe fo...
Hello dear Art! A great way to honor Casey with this theme for this edition of WS. A big loss for our Community with his passing away indeeed.
We expect viewing some awesome pictures from our participants during the weekend. Thank you for taking the hosting and judging this weekend my dear friend. Will return later with my choices. Best cordial regards, Abel
I'm sure Casey would've admired your compositions . . .
. . . and chromatic sensibilities, Yacomino. Thanks for participating! Art
Always refreshing to look at Casey's interpretation of scenes, locations, subjects through his lens.
His annual top 10 had been a fixture that I would not miss. A gentleman, generous with encouraging comments and tips. I am joining with pics all taken in Japan, in remembrance of Casey.. ...
Usually don't tip my hand early . . .
. . . but that shot of Snoopy with Mt Fuji in the background - simply 'wow'. Impressed, Art
Wow dear S F!! That Snoopy shot against Mount Fuji background…
… really left me speechless!! Great shot my dear friend!! Hagwe! Abel
Wow !! .. Lovely Threesome !
The last 2 for me, please and that No.3 Snoopy watch & Fuji-San picture truly is sublime, and also something I am sure, that makes you smile, in fact always, when you look at it !! - Chapeau !! HAGWE & Best PS: the Snoopy Fuji-San shot, almost needles...
Much appreciate it dear hs!
It was fortunate for me to see Fuji-san in all its glory during my recent trip. Your entries this week, esp the XX and 6542 are dream for any vintage collector!
That Snoopy with the double Mount Fuji 🗻
Is truly mind boggling 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 The others are fantastic shots as well 👍🏻
Hello dear Art !! Here my entry to the Theme in memory of Casey.
Three of my favorite shots; Pre Vendome Mare Nostrum Panerai chronograph Froggy falling in love with Kermit: Water drops on Panerai Pam 425 Have a nice weekend my dear Art and again Big Congrats on your 35 K post milestone!! Cheers! Abel ...
Hello, my dear friend Abel !!.. Superb pics you share, whereby..
.. my fav is the last, almost artisan shot with the water drops on the PAM 425 ! - Bravo !! - Furthermore I had to smile with the green Kermin frog & the crown; great watch as well ! 😊👌 And last but not least the cool set-up of a pretty rare watch, of...
Hello my dear friend HS! Always nice to read your too kind comments on my posts which I appreciate so much.
I´m glad you like the Panerai with water drops shot which was a lucky shot after many trials. Kermit in love is a fun shot with a toy from my little grandchild. Lol! I was wearing my Kermit when I viewd my little child playing with it and I ask him to len...
Thanks a lot dear friend Yacomino! Appreciate your kind comments. Yes, some times I try to add a little fun to those shots so to share the feeling that we don´t take it too seriously...
... our watch related hobby and that is part of the enjoyment of them. Have a beautfiful weekend my dear friend. Abel
With all the stress and strife of today's world, the greatest hope for the future . . .
. . . resides in the friendships made possible by the existence of the internet. In all of history, the two of us would never have met and become as close as we have in the last ten years. ;-) ...
Absolutely agree dear Art! Internet is a great means of communication…
… and I look forward to a new meeting in a not far occasion. These two watches you show here will be together again I hope!! Thank you so much for your friendship dear Art! Enjoy a great weekend!! Abel ...
Just retrieved my Flightmaster from the bank safe Friday . . .
. . . and will start wearing it later today after a long absence from my wrist. Hope you're enjoying yours often, Abel! Warmest, Art
Wow Abel …
That last photo of your Panerai is a great action shot. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain!! I´m happy to know you like it. It took several trials to get it but I was lucky to catch those big drops on the glass of my Pam 425.
I wish you are enjoying a pleasant weekend my dear Captain! Best cordial regards, Abel
Hello Abel,
Great shots indeed. I particularly like the Mare Nostrum and obviously the water shot of your PAM 425. Kurt. 🍻
Thank you so much dear friend KM! I´m glad you like them. These shots are among my own favorites and it is always a pleasure to share them here.
I wish you are enjoying a nice and relaxed weekend! Best cordial regards, Abel
Usually it's a dog that will stop to admire one of my mechanical watches . . .
. . . because they're intrigued by the ticking sound. A frog paying homage to Kermit is in another league altogether. 🐸

The three I think of, not only as highly personally appealing, but can imagine Casey seeing artistic integrity and aesthetic value in them as well.... I will always remember him very fondly. Filip ...
:)) yes,
I see it as the most aesthetically appealing as well! The obvious reason I posted the other shot first is the historical tie with the car dash instruments ....
The Amvox is always a good choice…
And I have to say the second shot is my favorite 👌🏻👍🏻
Hi Art,
didn't know Casey,but read his posts here over the years and enjoyed them very much. Here's three shots that might have some merit Have a great weekend going through the submissions! ...
You knew . . .
. . . this was coming. ;-) Outstanding composition with your Bulova Static, Henry. Impressed, Art ...
Casey was all that and more . . .
. . . and we were fortunate to have him with us for as many years as he was able to share. 😌
I’m struggling with the “Pigs Trotter”…
Reminds me of Lyon, good memories. Love the tower.
