Not easy to surpass your elegant outfit (and Mrs Aperna) ...

Feb 26, 2021,08:00 AM
 

... dear Tony nor the watch choices you share to open WS today.


Here is my choice for this week end:

For the black tie event will take my old 1959 ref 1803 DD though most probably will change its President bracelet for a set of black alligator straps to make it less conspicuous.










For casual business activities my choice is an Explorer ref 1016 from 1965 with its charming fat lume indexes and gloss gilt dial.















And for fun at pool or beach action will take my IWC Aquatimer. Built like a tank will be a nice choice I feel.

















Thank you for your hosting dear Tony! And with a great Theme which will bring some awesome shots and timepieces along the weekend!!

Hagwe! Abel
