The Salmon dial is stunning! 8 years… How much is that in watch years..? The Reverso GT has been with me for 12 years now..! It still makes me happy! Especially this year when JLC launched so many beautiful Reverso’s… Trying to fill the ... 

Remarkable. As for the week end, we'll see if it is good, or not, but I have strong hopes. All the best, Nicolas

. . . between both the color of the dial and the tiles on the roof as well as the fluted case and the shape of the tiles. Powerful imagery, Nicolas . . .

I wanted a colorful picture, taken under the italian light, and I luckily got it... Best, and thanks for your kind comments, Art. Il Consigliere.

..and I still like it! Best, CaliforniaJed

Nicolas, Everytime you post your Breguet it feels like a second child for me. First, your pictures of this watch are always outstanding. Second, the story you posted in the past of finding this baby is what in my mind makes it so special. The third watch ...  

But very nice and somehow understated, Joe. I love what you said about the scratches on your watch. They are truly the witnesses of our common life with our tic tacs. Enjoy yours, my friend. Best, nicolas

Then I feel like a youth when I'm in this company. Fantastic nice dial Hagwe Anders

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Anders. Best, Nicolas.

How about pairing it with your VC 47101?

As it has been part of the stolen watches. But, for the souvenir, here is an old picture of a happy duo: Best, Damien. Nicolas...  

But thanks very much for the pic. These are real beauties.

There is something for you on the HoMe forum... A Breitling Roll Call. Best, nicolas

Just a little fun this week, so the focus is on the beer. But both (my wife and the watch) are old friends ... This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2012-03-01 13:50:11...  

I read "My wife IS bitter"! Great friends you have! HAGWE Blomman

But I hope we can one day. Perhaps you can suggest they import this award-winning ale? Andrew

... for the King of Darkness. It's raining here this weekend so sipping red wine rather than drinking beer, but I will try and get a shot this weekend. Stay thirsty. A

You made me ask myself if a good friendship can turn in true love. This is a good example: a faithful silent friend which accompanies me for 35 years, since it was brand new. We both turned vintage together! More than friendship, I call it Love!...  

Wonderful - yes, that IS love! And a beautiful one! HAGWE Blomman

... You may read it story in a post made some weeks ago. My only watch during many, many years, and used 24 hours. My favorite watch as you may understand. It´s truly Love. Best cordial regards, Abel.

. . . was parting with the Rolex AirKing that was my sole watch for fifteen years. I'd be on my second quarter-century of ownership had I held onto it. Sadder, but hopefully wiser, Art

... new friend on your wrist Art. That´s life! Best thing is that these sour experiences make us wiser. (I hope too!) Have a nice week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.

... I know that my first Reverso will be on my wrist very soon. Enjoy the company of your nice friends! Cordial regards, Abel.

So, you will join the Reverso family soon?! May I ask which one you will go for? There are so many different sizes... jlc.watchprosite.com Best Blomman

... 1931 Grande Red dial. Can´t wait to have it on my hands... errr... on my wrist!! Cordial regards, Abel.

The first pieces should land soon, now. A question of weeks, but it is available at the Boutiques, only. Best, Nicolas

... My niece, who lives in Milano, went to the recently opened Boutique there, and having heard me talking about the new model got one for me as a present. She is bringing it to me when she visits in first days of April. It was going to be a surprise, but... 

Very kind niece you have,here... Un Abrazo, amigo. Nicolas

... let´s see everything runs well with this present. Yes, she is a wonderful young lady. She married a Milano young man, and had a "Milano baby" last year. We miss her a lot, but fortunately can visit two or three times a year. Will be a pleasure to... 

Well, that may be a possibility... Will be in Italy next August... Best, Amigo de la Pampa. Nicolas

... I have much ilusion to visit you in Paris next April, but business here are much complicated lately. Can´t confirm yet, but in one or other way, we will meet, I´m sure. Parma could be another possibility, but Paris will always be my port of ...

... To share your experience at Parma! They make two editions, one in March and another in September. I wish to assist next September. Thank you! Kind regards Abel

That is my choice for this year as well! Hope you get yours soon! Best Blomman

.... that I followed the link to your post about reversos. I enjoyed so much reading your text, and the comments of other fellow Purists, and viewing those great pictures. It surely shows your passion for this model. Your post just fired my ansiety to hav... 

Thank you, Able! Yes, the Reverso - when I have closed the Memovox theme... The R's will be my target! Best Blomman

... It makes it difficult to focus in them all! Have a nice week end Blomman! Kind regards Abel.

This one survived a robbery. It was the only one left behind. I love this watch and I'm searching for one in Titanium to make a pair. But life goes on and I'm also in love with the Type XX and the U.F.O. crystal. Blomman you had a great idea for this week...  

A great watch! So, making "the Pair"? Will you go for the Grey or the Green..?! HAGWE Blomman

Green does not looks good on my wrist. Cheers, Nilo

I had the same thinking, but not long ago I had the chance to try the Green -R version... Oh, so nice on the wrist! Bigger then the normal AMVOX version... Best Blomman

The green is far too big for my wrist. Beautiful but not for me. Cheers Nilo

Will go to the safe, this week end, to give it some real wrist time, in your honor. Here is mine: Best, Nicolas....  

Of this beauty. Thanks for the honor, Nicolas. Cheers, Nilo

. . . down to one watch, this Amvox would be the sole survivor yet again . . .

Recently I'm attracted to the force (Omega). After my post I was thinking about my essentials watches and Omegas are on the top of my list. Design, precision, maintainability etc. Guess what watch I'm wearing now? Cheers, Nilo

. . . Impulse? Just a wild guess . . .

For a great watch. Check your files (Just noticed that you made no comments about my SIA post. Here is mine: omega.watchprosite.com s= I was thinking in waiting for: a) Impossible dream: SS C-Shaped Constellation with all original. (Black dial?) b...

to own watches we love and to also have the friendship of forum members. we are lucky indeed. best G

But it's one of my favorites....  

. . . so it's comforting to see yours on display. Boy, did we ever hit the jackpot last year with these marvels! . . .

like an old friend when the match is right... Like in this case! Best Blomman

there are so many lovely Omega's that are out of my 1964 theme. i have been lucky enough to own a lot of them in the past, but if i open up a new theme it will be Omega's without a doubt, perhaps one of each movement from mid 50's to early 70's. best G

Don't know why but somehow I find the 50s more attractive... I need a 500, 502, 503 to complete the 50X movements but I just realized I finished the 35X bumpers!
