One is never enough …
Thanks Daos
I actually had the Submariner on the other wrist, as you can see from this TO post (here with the lobster course).
I rarely wear two watches except around the house or when meeting other WIS, but I thought I could get away with it because of the lunar connection with the New Year.
It’s a rather fun thing to do on occasions …

Friday February 12, 2010 ...
It's that time of the week again ... a hiatus between SIHH and Basel ... and Chinese New Year approaching. Time to dust off the watch box and select something special for the weekend ......
Happy Chinese New Year / Spring Festival everyone …
February 14 … Year of the Tiger Gong hei fat choi...
Nice bracelet, tell me more
about it please. they are very common in Asia, is it jade, or am I complely mistaken. GEO
Yes, this is jade, or more correctly ...
Hi GEO, Yes this is jade, or more correctly jadeite. The quality (and price) varies depending on translucency and the absence of internal flaws, amongst other things. A nice accoutrement for the New Year. Pleased you like it. Andrew
Sublime pic and watch, Andrew.
This Connie is " Resplendissante ", my friend. Best! Nicolas
Racing this morning ;)

A beautiful photo, Patrice!
I love how your shirt matches the chrono levers on the Amvox Racing! Very dashing! Cheers, Daos

there are no chinese new year celebrations anywhere near me and Valentines day on sunday is for young people so my pic is one i took a few days ago when i was visiting my parents. i went to the historic city of Norwich where i was born. as i was going bac...

Sometimes...
... you need to go back in time to find your roots. Just what I did when I got divorce a few years ago. I moved back to my roots. Best regards Hans
your quite right Hans. i...
your quite right Hans. i was born in the norfolk and norwich hospital and it has now been refurbished and turned into apartments which are for sale at the right price so if my house sells i could go right back to my roots in a very literal sense. lots of ...
Things take time
Hi Graham You are right, you have all the possibilites now. Its just to take the time to find the right solution for you. When I divorced I looked at different options. Move to Germany and have a fat big car but no pay of heavy DK taxes. Move to the city ...
thankyou for your support Hans,...
thankyou for your support Hans, i have plenty of time to think about where i want to live as the housing market is very slow here. as long as its a nice apartment in an historic city with views over water or countryside i will be happy. easier access to m...
Hi Graham ...
Nice to see these photos and I look forward to more scenes around Norwich. These something very 'centreing' about revisiting places you grew up. My parents still live in the same house where I was born and I just love getting into my dad's garage. Many ha...
...and Mardi Gras coming up!
...not to mention Presidents' Day here in the US and my wife's birthday (globally) this past Tuesday. On to this week's wristshot (seems that I always end up having time for this at about 9pm Pacific on Friday night, by which time I've missed the fun, so ...
beautiful VC...
What a great watch. I love the dual time, whether VC or AP. Such a great watch. Enjoy.
Thanks, guys!
Lovely DT in your avatar, Roman -- I think that the SS has a wonderful clean look. Best, Gary G
What a coincidence! I'm wearing mine, too . . .
. . . after all, an Omega is de rigueur when invited to the boutique . . . . . . to celebrate Chinese New Year. Details this weekend . . . cordially, Art...
Early morning pic of Connie . . .
. . . which will accompany me to Pasadena today for an appointment with my tax accountant . . ....
Please Art, promise me that's in your will for me...
Hell, that won't due cause I'll "check-out" first. The Connie to die for. Wear in good health, Miki
Hey, Miki, you can have it . . .
. . . if the Raiders ever win another Superbowl! Just replace it with an identical model that has white gold hands and markers ;-) . . .
Wearing that beauty
for a meeting with the tax accountant can't be good...he might make a demand on it or make you pay more taxes!
Nice photo of the Omega Boutique ...
Do you find that the salespeople are interested in their history on your wrist? I wonder what an Omega Boutique will look like in another 50 years? Enjoy the weekend. Andrew
The staff at the boutique know a true aficionado . . .
. . . when they see one: Manager Sharmeen is both observant and discerning ;-) . . ....
Happy with the new addition to the "family"
On the wrist all week. Ulysse Nardin Ludwig Perpetual - I have posted a few more pictures and thoughts in the UN forum HAGWE, Ginger...
Three cheers for Ginger! Her first perpetual . . .
. . . and just in time for the annual celebration. Methinks Graham's smile might even be a tiny bit wider than yours ;-) . . . warmest regards, Art
Very bad weather here
and I am moving up north. One of the few times that we have heavy snow in the south of France. So no leather wristband watch today. GEO...
Overcast HK.....
Overcast in Hong Kong but definitely not dampening the spirit of Chinese New Year!! HAGWE...
Excellent wrist shot without a hint of glare . . .
. . . or reflections. I think all your photos of this watch have turned out well, Bill . . . regards, Art
Love this Pilot
Always been one of my favorites from IWC, but it's a tad to big for my skinny wrist, so I can only wish for now...been stocking up on weight gainers so I can wear this someday ;-) HAGWE, Richard
The Milgauss is looking good on you
Hi Richard You should never say never. Any chance you get you should give the big pilot a shot. It just might fit you. Bill
Have done that
I've been to the AD and have tried it on for size on more than one occasion...at this point of time, I have gotten feedback that I might as well have a clock strapped to my wrist :-D No giving up though....and will keep trying!
a lovely piece Big Daddy, made better because of its custom changes
it is, i think, a lovely thing to have a truly unique piece in your collection, something that means more to you because you asked for those changes. best and enjoy it, although i know you do Graham
Understated beauty
Very nice Hamilton...I like the combination of the dial and the brown strap...it seems to mesh perfectly. Richard
Ah, a square watch design . . .
. . . set alongside fabric with imprinted squares . . . quite complementary!
A very 'dressy' combination ...
I like the shape and position of the date window, the crown and, for a square watch, the very legible dial. You could well have the masthead two weeks running with that shot, Davo. Very nice. Andrew
Thanks Geo...
...in fact the picture is in color, but the old picture in the background make it look like sepia. I never use photoshop, I never could figure out how it works Cheers Jeff
Have i seen it before ...?
... YEs, probably, but still something very special Have a nice weekend Best Hans
You are 100% right...
.. I have had days wearing 2 watches (bevause I purchase a new I needed to test), not to put the Speedie back ... I think I am addicted Best regards Hans
Growing on me
Coming up to a week now, and will probably go another week with this Happy Chinese New Year of the Tiger and HAGWE all! Richard...
Thanks...it took a while
I've always stayed away from Rolex...too common and boring, was my take, but have always like the Explorer II and this...so it is my favorite current Rolex too I've also changed my mind about them now that I've seen for myself the quality of their pieces....
