A seagull, a surfer . . .
. . . two ships . . . . . . and a Seiko. Let's share our humbler fare this week, folks. Cordially, Art ...
Not ocean but I can play humble ...
After seeing all SIHH rich announcements I'm on a very humble mood. Nothing better than a Sinn U2 to express this: I let this Sinn go on a trade but I feel bad and I was able to acquire it again. It makes the perfect beater. The case can stand ... a war. ...
A post with . . .
. . . U2 and war brings . . . . . . this album to mind! Sinns are damn fine watches. There was a time when a 756S was high on my list, but I drifted towards vintage Omega chronos before pulling the trigger on one. ...
Hey, I was once acquainted with a girl . . .
. . . who wore a SeaDweller. She became a past acquaintance after I became aware of her ten cats, all of which were black. When the phrase 'cat lady' was coined, they had her in mind. :-)
She was really quite charming . . .
. . . and attractive, too . . . Italian stock, resembled Sophia Loren. I was really taken by her wearing a SD . . . it wasn't an affectation - she wore it daily. Too bad about my allergies ;-) . . .
yep...
.....my wife loves her Rolex....and yes there is something ...je ne sais quoi.... about a pretty woman with a Sub on her wrist. Now the next question is; was it a 1665 or 16660 or more modern?
It was the then-current version. I would've . . .
. . . made more of an effort if it had been a vintage model ;-) . . .
....ok...
...i was going to say....some anti-histamine might have been a small price to pay!
Funny story actually...
....I once noticed a young woman wearing a sub...she was also wearing very tight leggings....and after I had made out the model of the watch (for the interested it was a 14060m) I let out a very loud: "nice!" She turned and thought I was looking at her "d...
ah mr Epilogue, the words...
ah mr Epilogue, the words should be 'nice watch' or 'nice bum'. you have to be specific :) you could of course have said 'you are a very beautiful young woman, made all the more beautiful because of the watch you wear'. best to you from the south of engla...
well...
...I have to recount the story as it happened and "nice" was the only word I used which I suspect led to the young woman's confusion...! But here I see that you have experience (very smooth gentleman you are), next time I will definitively say what you ta...

thats a sure way of finding a partner with a similar interest to you, but you are far to young to settle down. G On 25 Jan 2013 18:46, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* Epilogue (registered) on January 25th, 2013 - 10:45 > >...
Same gene pool?
Was allergic to cats, dogs, dust, feather, pollen.. you name it I got it....luckily only to dust allergy persisted perfect excuse for not cleaning house :) Best D
Funny, isn't it? . . .
. . . when this Tudor was new, it was humble. Now, people fight over them! Impressed, as ever . . .
I harassed its owner ( I do hope that is the correct word, in english ) :)
To get it. You're true, Art... As always. Best, Nicolas
Very nice "humbleness" and superb shot
almost Dali like how the dial "melts" under the plexi. Once again I am impressed with your choice of strap. I like the cut grove between the edge and the stitching which adds something very vintage to it. What is the leather? Look almost like elephant... ...
The strap is an old calf, gifted to me by a friend.
And works very well, I find, with the spirit of this Tudor Big Crown. Thanks for your kind words, my dear friend. Nicolas

Was this originally submerged in water
and the heat of the watch instantly vapourised it. SMOKIN!
Originally, yes, as it is a Marine Natiionale Tudor.
So I do hope so. ;) Best, Eitan. Nicolas
another dive into the world...
another dive into the world of military watches Nicolas, literally :) On 25 Jan 2013 18:31, "www watchprosite" *Alert from:* www:watchprosite > *Posted By:* amanico (registered) on January 25th, 2013 - 10:31 > > *Title: Originally, yes, as it is a Marine ...
It's not . . .
. . . an Omega, at least as far as I can tell. The bezel bears a resemblance to a SM 200, but the case doesn't. I give up . . .
Pretty sure it's a Doxa...
... or am I wrong ?!? Would like a Searambler T graph vintage myself..... well in an other life .... ;) Best - Fred
Looks like we have an expert among us. Bravo
I will reveal the details soon. Best Bill
Not at all you have a sharp eye.
Not many people would catch the watch unless they really know it. Best Bill
I had a pic on my hard drive . . .
. . . all along, Bill. This Doxa Sharkhunter belongs to an acquaintance who was a USN diver decades ago. It originally belonged to Jacques Cousteau, and was given to him by Cousteau's son. Art ...
I've got plenty...
... of humble.... Etc, etc... ... but I like them both nonetheless ;) Best regards to all - Fred ...
Humble . . .
. . . and quirky, both. The Lip tuning fork compressor is one I've never seen before. Thanks for keeping in theme, Fred! Art
Thank you Art...
... but I'm quite amazed you've never heard about it as these Lip Nautic Ski Electronic are very common ... and, consequently I guess, pretty much undervalued To be correct, the movement is not tuning fork running, but an "electro mechanical one"; unfortu...
Right after making that comment yesterday, a dim recollection . . .
. . . of the prior posting of your Lip came to mind, Fred. The watches in your collection that spark my memory are your fabulous black Connie, followed by the Super Kontiki.
Holding out . . .
. . . on me? :-) I don't remember this one from your collection, Damjan. New?
In fact
this particular piece was beginning of beautiful friendship ;) Our first encounter on PPro and allow me to quote you back then " Believe it or note, Ares501, the expert at Glashütte Original.... provided details of your friend's watch before I even saw yo...
Gosh, I vaguely recall the exchange . . .
. . . but was it your watch, or your friend's?
It was his....
then... 5 years flew quickly when in good company ;) Damjan P.S. Holding to you would be like holding to.... :)
If you like the last beast how about this.
I think you can see a new theme and post coming. I think you can clearly see by the plexi this is no amateur time watch. Best Bill ...
There are less examples know of this watch
Than you can count on your hands. Very nice history from the original owner. Coming soon.
So do I ....
.... but, promise Bill, I won't make the same mistake twice Great catch anyway !!! Best - Fred
The simple things bring pleasure
I would say this is a humble steel chronograph, but it is a lovely watch to wear. The water lilly is my own 'stinking corpse flower' equivalent. The plant has been in my pond for 10 years and I can only recall it flowering on 2 previous occasions. Andrew ...
World humble
change meaning since I was young :) ;) Great shot Andrew and you know my feelings for GP Best Damja n
Last night's dinner was linguine with . . .
. . . scampi, mushrooms, and chopped tomato prepared in olive oil with red pepper flakes and garlic; starter was a caprese salad. You know what I said to myself when the pasta was brought out? "The simple things bring pleasure." :-)
Words to remember, Art ...
We had a spectacular sunrise this morning. And it didn't cost me anything to enjoy it - except that I was 10 minutes later into work. Andrew
Gorgeous! . . .
. . . I just adore period pieces from Omega, especially the ones with flamboyant character, like this . . .
Looks like we need water resistance Art...

I seem to remember those two, Quan . . .

Not humble at all!
This one gave inspiration to some very fine watches, I think... :D Nice catch Hope all is well at your end G Nikolaj

Seiko takes a back seat to no one . . .
. . . in my esteem, Graham. They're the great manufacturer for the common man, which is high praise in my book.
You've shared that backdrop (if not the photo) before, no? . . .
. . . it suits your Seiko perfectly! . . .
Art, if anyone worried about your memory
after your exchange of posts with Damjan above, I think you now prove them very wrong! :) I did indeed share an old photo today which I have posted earlier (much earlier). The backdrop is a hand printed raw silk sari, I picked up in India. Very difficult ...
All of a sudden, I feel like having . . .
