friday in Tokyo started...
Have a great weekend everybody ! This one is especially for Jeff because you liked this watch so much last weekend...
The Daytona is great, but ...
... I would love to know more about the crown cufflinks. Were these a sanctioned Rolex product? Age? Very classy and striking combination. Andrew
This is the week for sartorial splendor . . .
. . . with well-matched shirt 'n watch combos from Steve, yourself, Matt, Mateus, Sam, and jporos . . .
Tom, is it shiny and hard to catch like they say?
or did Dornbluth make it easy enough to strap on its the first time i've seen a PVD/DLC Dornbluth and it looks good. best Graham
It is shiny...
...and normal stainless steel, Graham; I guess it's just the lighting that's giving a dark cast to the metal. Tom
thanks for that Tom. if...
thanks for that Tom. if you hadnt told me i'd have searching for a DLC model. strange lighting to give that effect. best Graham
Watch du jour …
Still influenced by this weeks Parisian GTG. Longines Ultra-Chron, Ref. 7827 (Cal. 431, auto), 36000vph, 25 jewels, PR 42h, steel, 34x9mm, circa 1969. Ps. Michael Bay is currently filming Transformers 3 for a July 2011 release (without Megan Fox this time...
Thanks Stefan. It really does live up to its claim ...
... and keeps great time. The short power reserve is the only minor issue I have. Although this relates more to my wearing habbits than the watch itself as it is an automatic. If it was your only watch and worn every day then this would not be an issue. A...
Another smart watch, Andrew...
I don't know who influences who, but one thing is sure, this one is a lovely one! Do you have pics of the movement? Best, Nicolas
Movement +
Thanks Nico, that’s too kind. I know you have influenced many others, but if I can tug at your heart with the occasional Constellation or this Longines, I am very happy. I don’t have any great movement shots as the watch is a little difficult to open with...
Funny, Andrew, but this Longines makes me think a bit
Of the JLC Geomatic. The " Ressemblance " goes even with the Rotor, which, in both cases, is engraved with the Brand Logo. Thanks for the movement pictures, Andrew. As for my collection, the first you can get which is not too difficult to get is the E 855...
a constellation by any other name Andrew. a great vintage
i bet, like me and many others you have boxes of vintage pieces ageing nicely dont you. sometimes i prefer them to modern pieces, especially if you find a good one. best graham
Wow, Richard... This picture, at least the background, sounds familiar to me.
Great composition, my friend. I'm sure you will enjoy it even more with Time. Best, my friend. Nicolas
still tempting me Richard, but i shall resist for a while longer
its a case of having too great pic as well best Graham
Just got this one...
my wife surprised me with a late fathers day gift. This one is going to be a special one for me. Keeper for sure. HAGWE...
Polaris 65 ...
On new vintage tropic offered by a very good friends this morning . HAGWE Patrice...
well done Patrice
This was needed, the old one was becoming dangerous!!! HAGWE in Marseille Matt
One of the best strap for the Pola 65, Patrice.
Like you, I have several options, but this Vintage tropic is THE solution, IMO. Well done, and great gesture from your friend. Best, Nicolas
Wow, that is a big gift!
Big, and it suits you well. You are a lucky guy! Congratulations! respo
!!! . . .
. . . GS followed by DS . . . usually, good things come in triplicate, so I wonder what's next? . . .
My congratulations, aboen..

2 on my wrist from Wed's Paris GTG!!!
Hope you guys all get to enjoy the sun this We as we do in Paris... Matt...
What, Matt???
You got this US NAVY??? Agreed, my friend. 2 really great watches. Best, Nicolas
does pleasure have a price?
just for a short moment of free and pure pleasure!... Enjoying the moment is great and remembering is nice as well... Mat
It is a shame ...
that I missed to look at the nice chrono from Jaeger ... Cheers Oliver
Finally, after weeks
of rain the sun has returned to Southern Germany. Even a bit too much sun for taking pictures And Nico, you were right again. On an appropriate strap a Memovox makes a fine summer watch. (This is a simple one I found in my box. No big loss if it should be...
It is predicted....
to rain tomorrow.... however a beautiful day with a classic watch... HAGWE Cheers
Better not believe
in Sybilla's oracles, even if you are Greek. I prefer to go along with German weather forecasters who predict sun for all the upcoming week. Time will tell, but I hope I am right, I am so fed up with rain! Best, Martin
I'm very happy you enjoy it that much, Martin.
That is really a watch to love, a Classic you can wear every season. Have fun and pleasure with it, my friend. Very Best, Nicolas
Another old lady…
All these beautiful vintages made me look even further back in to my safe. Art's Connie made me remember this old lady. Giving her some sun and air this weekend HAGWE Blomman...
well worth
digging deep in that safe, Blomman. Very much my kind of watch too. Thanks for showing. Hagwe
Yes, I found some …
…I haven’t worn for a long time. Will make a change – and give them sun and air! Thanks! Best Blomman
i smiled when seeing this...
... Blomman, i only know you have many JLCs in your collection, but did not know you have such stunning vintage Omega. you got this Omega before all of your JLCS? interestingly to hear from you more story about hunting for this watch? stefan
Good if I can put a smile …
…on your face! Stumbled over this one many years ago. Couldn’t resist such a beauty! Best Blomman
Resist?
Resist what my friend? Surprised to see an Omega on my wrist? The last few weeks my vintage nerve really got an itch. Luckily I found some in my safe to still the itch… Best Blomman
An inheritance piece...
or an acquisition before your JLC days? Either way, a beautiful watch. Regards, Richard.
Thank you, Richard!
It’s an acquisition… During my JLC days I could not resist this plain but beautiful Omega! Had to pick it up many years ago… Best Blomman
very nice Omega Blomman. is it a late 50's bumper auto or am i wildly out?
the dial just looks of that period. a lot more quality detail than most seamasters of the 60's, and i know about the 60's best Graham
Thanks Graham!
I picked it up on a flee market and the guy told me early/mid 50’s, but I haven’t checked. You might be right; you are spot on for the bumper! I am very uneducated when it comes to Omega. Only reason I picked this one was for its beauty Having...
There is much to like ...
There is much to like about this 'simple' Omega. The even, gold tinted numbers, the carbachon on the crown and the perfect proportions. A nice vintage. Andrew
Thank you, Andrew!
I picked this one only for its beauty But all these stunning vintages that are displayed here every Friday made me think… I should focus more on vintage again! Still a beginner when it comes to vintage, but trying to learn… Lately my energy ha...
a pair of star wheels for me this weekend
neither of these starwheels used very much at the moment so for them both to be used together is a bit of a treat. HAGWE Graham...
thanks Drew, i've owned...
thanks Drew, i've owned it 3 years and it never gets enough wear, but it is one of those special pieces that you never want to get rid of. best Graham
Oi Welshman...
Fabulous watch you have there! Somehow it had escaped my attention that you have one of these. And the car is in stellar condition again? I remember you had some electrical challenges. I hope you have some good weather to let the roof down and let your st...
thanks Nik, ah, the...
thanks Nik, ah, the starwheel is one of my little secrets the car is running perfectly with just some minor cosmetic electrical issues that dont affect the driving so i'll ignore them as i dont use it enough to worry about. sadly it has a hard roof, my dr...
oops
My memory is certainly playing tricks on me today. I thought it was a convertible. (is it the coupé then?). Never mind the hard roof, with your electric system up and running again, you'll just take the windows down and roll the starwheels out in the open...
hi Nik, its just...
hi Nik, its just a boring C240 4 door saloon(or sedan). unfortunately i have a big problem with my right knee so i cant drive far before the pain sets in. i would have been with Filip at the GTG in Paris as i'd planned a few days with him, but i was unabl...
You should see what I drive...
before calling your C240 boring. (hint: It's Swedish and is desguised as a rolling brick) LOL Best wishes for a speedy recovery of your knee!!
I know your feeling, being a dane myself :-)
But than again Nic.. your drive in a brick but you have paid for 3 bricks ;-) Cheers Hans
Ah, the Starwheel
Yet another reason for me to love AP. I am always glad to see that one on you. I would love to see it even more on me. ;-) It is fantastic! respo...
ah respo, never say never...
ah respo, never say never what is mine now could one day belong to someone else best Graham...
thanks Hans, i seem...
thanks Hans, i seem to have been so caught up in Omegas from 1964 recently that the starwheel has been neglected. i promise to neglect it no longer. best Graham
I have loved the Starwheel since I saw it the first time..
... so if you one day... let me know ;-) Cheers Hans P.S. Been ccaught up in Omegas and especially the 1960s model is not bad at all
One my favorites, too
I hope it never needs a new home, but if so.... I also hope it was only car trouble that kept you from the GTG. Always thinking of you, Ginger
thanks Ginger, it was...
thanks Ginger, it was in fact only knee problems that kept me from crossing the channel to attend the GTG. i hope it never needs a new home, but these things happen. best graham
WOW, this is timeless classic AP watch...
by the way, my friend Graham, how are you lately? hope you are doing well stefan
thanks Stefan, the starwheel...
thanks Stefan, the starwheel is timeless indeed. first invented about 200 years ago, first worn on the wrist in this model, modernised in the millenary and taken on by Urwerk to make it futuristic. as for me, i have been much better, but what doesnt kill ...
You kill me with this one, Graham.
And you know that! One day, I will get one! Best, my friend. Nicolas...
thanks Nicolas, its strange...
thanks Nicolas, its strange that i've owned it since i joined the forum 3 years ago, but never worn it when i've met with you. a special piece like the Freak. only the Mercator to to obtain now for the perfect trio best G...
Well, I'm a bit late, compared to you, Graham.
As I have to get the AP Starwheel, then the Mercator, or the reverse, no matter. Yes, you should bring it, next time! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Wonderful watch you have there Graham...
I have never seen one before. I've just worked out how you tell the time on it!!! Silly me, I kept looking at the center of the dial and didn't see the rotating 5. Regards, Richard....
LOL sometimes looking at...
LOL sometimes looking at the centre gives the best pics. i have some excellent close ups of the mechanism so you can really see how it works. its a watch with a lot of fame and history due to its starwheel display, but you dont see many of them on the wri...
Really
Graham, That is the first time I have seen that watch! I am glad the watch got some sunlight and I am glad you are out in the Mercedes! Have a great weekend!
have you really not seen...
have you really not seen it before? it shows how little i use it. from the nice comments i've had that must change. as for being out in the car, i only drove to the doctors and back. a whole 7 miles. hopefully that will change soon as well. best Graham
Stop, stop, stop ...
something is wrong here. Where is the "50 Quits" guy we all like? We will miss him The StarWheel and your Freak would be a very nice two pieces only collection, for sure. Next time you have to bring it to us! Promised? You should enjoy them more often as ...
dont worry Oliver, the fifty...
dont worry Oliver, the fifty quids guy is still here, i'm just getting some of my higher end lesser worn pieces out of the boxes. i've been wearing the starwheel and MIH together for a whole week, giving them an outing. next will be the UN Ludwig perpetua...
thanks Blomman, a pair i'm...
thanks Blomman, a pair i'm proud of even though they are both getting a bit old best Graham...
