Naaah Respo...
that would be a bit boring for a 80 year anniversary. I am sure that you will soon come across one of these just waiting for you to pick her up.
In relation with Nicolas' recent post on the 80'ème, I think that a Memovox Reverso is a grand idea although it would be a big mix of two equally famous and so far separate lines in JLC (I come to think that IWC is doing something similar just now with the Portuguese Yacht Club!?).
But your idea of a Reverso Regulateur (jump hours?) is not a bad idea either.
All the best!

This beauty hurts, my friend.
What a strong looking 13 ZN! Power and Elegance. Congrats! Best, Eric. Nicolas
Plaisir et espoir partagés, Eric.
Si tu passes par Paris... Avec tres grand plaisir! A bientot. Nicolas
I am quite certain that in France, it is not yet Friday ...
... hehe, but you started this week's Friday wrist scan thread with an absolutely stunning beauty, a worthy leader of the thread! Regards, Marcus
Great way to start the Friday ritual . . .
. . . with an uncommon masterpiece. Thank you, rebec . . . cordially, Art
I'll join the early bird procession with . . .
. . . my latest vintage . . . . . . cordially, Art...
Golden ratio rectangles . . .
. . . are most pleasing, and when combined with a shaped movement, makes for a very compelling design. I'm still hoping to acquire a cal 42 Karree to complete my G O collection . . . cordially, Art
Hear you loud and clear! :)
Don’t know if you read this post, one of my first here; Reverso Gran’ Sport Duo Best Blomman
Nice to have been there ...
Hi Art, Looks great on your wrist; a long wait coming back from the watchmaker. It was exciting to be there when you found this at the "Vintage Omega Shop". You should post a more detailed thread on the Omega Forum. I think I have a couple more photos to ...
I hope to have some time this weekend to take . . .
. . . a few photos in the garden for the Omega forum, Andrew . . .
What a dapper watch!
Lovely - now all you need is a suit and tie and an occasion to wear them! Ginger
Ah, a good reason to go clothes shopping, Ginger . . .
. . . gotta have a suit to match the watch!!
Lovely Old Lady, Art.
It is perfrct on your wrist, my friend. A catch of great class. Best, Nicolas
There's a few old ladies in my watchbox, Nico . . .
. . . but this is the first significantly older model, 1940, or thereabouts . . .
Good Catch...
Nice watch my friend !!! Big Congrats on u new collections :o) Best Chung
Thanks, Chung! I've been enjoying . . .
. . . the experience so far this week. There's another late '40s vintage Omega equipped with the successor movement (a cal 302 vs the R17.8 in this watch) that I'm hoping to add to my collection someday . . . cordially, Art
True beautiful stunner Art..
....looking forward to seeing it on the Omega forum Cheers Hans
Thanks all, gentlemen . . .
. . . I hope to get off a few quality snaps this evening, and will be posting on the Omega forum. It might need to be returned to the watchmaker for regulation as it's running a tad slow. LIke -1 minute per day :-( . . .
Since last week I have been in a square mode…
And what can be more square then the Squadra?! HAGWE Blomman...
I would've been . . .
. . . a Reverso collector, blomman, had it not been for the Karrees. Golden ratio rectangular forms with complementary shaped manufacture movements are the watches that make my heart beat a little faster. This version, with rose gold case and a black dial...
Art…
I think we are chewing on the same bone..! But when you have found your cal 42 Karree, maybe it’s time to dive into the Reverso abyss?! Don’t know if you read this post, also one of my first here; The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes... Best Blomman...
Don't think so, blomman . . .
. . . once the G O collection is complete, there's room for one more modern piece in my collection, and it will be a tool / sports / utility watch. Leaning towards a modern Omega, possibly a Grand Seiko.
Indeed one of JLC’s power watches! :)
Thank you, Richard. If the mood is right, you can’t go wrong with this one! Best Blomman
A small change is always good, Blomman.
Something tells me tha the round mood will soon be back! Best, my friend. Nicolas
He, he….
Indeed, the round will soon be back! You now me, my mood is “ revesable ”! Best, my friend. Blomman
Thanks for the kind words guys and...
...sorry to have started the friday extravaganza a little too early ! Lets see those wrists please... Cheers Eric
Better early than late, Eric . . .
. . . and thanks for getting us off to a great start with such a significant watch. Cordially, Art
I already know what treasure I will wear tomorrow ...
One of my favourite Vintage, all brands included. Deep Sea Alarm Lecoultre, US version ( sorry for the redundance ) : HAGWE, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-09-30 22:33:16...
Deeply wonderful Nicolas...
and so is your sweater ;-) Best, my friend...HAGWE! -- Richard.
This week's watch + last week's = a perfect . . .
. . . two watch collection! Both rugged, both uncommon, both well balanced - neither austere nor flashy. Vintage has special charms, eh, Consiglieri? . . .
Such a great looking watch...
I like everything about it. I'm shopping aound for a sixties/seventies divers watch lately, just been loving the look's of em these days. Another fantastic wristshot Nicolas ! Drew
Well, Drew ...
The watch is nicer than the wrist... Seriously, these Diving watches are just timeless. I'm sure you will find the one which will give you a maximum of pleasure. Looking forward to your next WS, Best, Nicolas
The DSA is so beautiful it hurts!
Looking forward to see it in the metal! Best, my friend. Blomman
Very similar in shape to . . .
. . . my Karree Panodate, the most aesthetically appealing watch in my collection. The proportions of this Bucherer match your wrist well, Marcus . . .
Looks great, Marcus!
Interesting bezel on that one. Would you mind sharing some colour photos when you have the time? Best Blomman
A new catch, Quan?
It is difficlut to avoid adding a Dayto in a collection, eeeh? Best, Nicolas
Germany in my thoughts...
A vintage German watch awaited me in my mail box as I returned this evening from a short business trip to Berlin and a wonderful Purist encounter! A pristine mid 50s Hanhart single barrel alarm watch (alarm is set by the bezel). I'm a bit sleepy, so just ...
What a little vintage beauty ...
you got there. A nice memorization, isn´t it? "a wonderful Purist encounter" Just so true Oliver
I'm curious about the screws in the dial, Ginger . . .
. . . do they secure a vibrating diaphragm that sounds the alarm? Stumped, Art
The screws hold the dial in place
Apparently the first ones had standard dial brackets, but the movement of the lunette in setting the alarm (I spoke inexactly when I said the alarm was set by the bezel) sometimes caused the dial to slip. This according to Horlbeck's treatise, the Alarm W...
Ginger, you are the Queen of the alarm watches! :)
You have a wonderful Alarm collection, congrats! Once I am able to break free from the JLC spell, I will have to follow your footsteps… Just love these noisy old ladies! Best Blomman
Showcase
Thanks Drew, I guess it's like a nice tailored shirt with French cuffs and cuff-links for us. It shows of a wristwatch to full effect. The designer is Alannah Hill. Nice whimsical and romantic pieces. Andrew
I knew you would appreciate the Reverso, Nico ...
It hasn't left her wrist in five years and is therefore building its' own history. Much more than any of my casually worn pieces. I envy her sometimes. Thanks for your nice words. Andrew
lovely watch with lovely cuff on a lovely better half's wrist!
beautiful shots, Andrew. stefan
This GT sized Reverso is the perfect size for a ladies wrist
Hi Stefan, Thanks for your comment. The size is perfect and the bracelet adds to the presence of the watch. Andrew
. . . not to mention . . .
. . . the golden ratio rectangular shape, which is even more complimentary on smaller wrists . . .
One of my favorites...enjoy it!
It is just too big for me and I don't have any need for it - but every few months when some young fellow needs the money and sells his on one of the watch sites, I open up the message, take a long look and have to resist temptation. Ginger
A lot of…
Fly boys around the last few weeks! Looking great, Richard, maybe it’s time for me to start look in to that area...? My problem is that I already know which one I like; JLC Mark XI… Best Blomman
Kühl! . . .
. . . and this one is a really tough tool watch with a specially hardened case, if not mistaken. I recall their introduction about five years ago (?), but have never seen one in the metal . . . cordially, Art
Noah Webster would be be after you Art, but I think you're spot-on!
Changing all the "k's" to "c's" is silly, as is his concept that American English should be different from British. The Umläut adds a nice finishing touch ;-) Your next mission: Teach them it is a queue; and not a line! Indeed the Damasko has many in...
Today's watch...
But my apologies, not today's weather or photo.... HAGWE Regards, Richard....
Then, please, do not forget to add the disclaimer ...
... "no watches were scratched or otherwise harmed during the photoshoot" Marcus
Old photo.....
Yes..... But, a beautiful one of a nearly perfect watch..... HAGWE Cheers
Thanks Nicolas...
But Summer is fast approaching down here, so hopefully more sunshine pictures to come in the weeks ahead. Regards, Richard.
You've shown this one before . . .
. . . set against blue water, Richard; the match against blue sky is also compelling . . .
