Is how their phones are relatively usable, while their laptops - from my perspective at least - are not. Had two and returned to PCs both times, thoroughly disappointed. And that’s saying something for someone who’s never been a fan of MS.
As announced yesterday, the topic of the first WS of the year will be New Horizons. You are free to interpret what this means for you but could be a new life phase, horological new year’s resolutions, new incomings, new collecting topics, or if none of th...
So maybe I could try something orange. Or maybe an Omega. Or perhaps another Rolex? A Patek, hmmm... Or even going Indie ??? Actually, I don't like change, I think I will stick to vintage and modern GPs... Cheers, CC PS: thanks to the non-GP owners for le...
The new horizons will be the old ones - if one is comfortable with the existing change is not strictly necessary, even if sometimes interesting in its own right 😊 Thanks for showing such a wide range of options, CC. The Doxa and the KVs I’d change into st...
That horizon looks fairly familiar, I guess - a very nice one, too As for the new adventure, I guess some good wishes I can definitely use, so thanks for those, too!
Ordered on January 2, 2019 and delivered on January 3rd, 2019! 😮👍🥳🎊 The unboxing... MASSIVE box with no shipping label, name or details (never seen this before). Delivered by FEDEX. I’d like to “blame” 😜 Ahoi, Abel and the other enablers on this forum for...
And boxes within boxes... as you said, enablers aka Vlads can be very dangerous to one’s wallet but very helpful for one’s collection 😉 If I recall correctly you have more incoming by this weekend? If so, feel free to share!
The digs are interesting 😉 Lots more space, which we all enjoy and a slightly different taste in furniture, which makes it ‘new’. Getting settled in, although the process will really finish when our things arrive 👍🏻 Now to the watches - the UJ and Vicente...
I saw them; they were very inexpensive; and they both had original boxes, one with the warranty booklet. Kind of cool. The round case piece is Swiss; I'm not sure about the shaped watch. I think it could have been assembled here in the States, using Swiss...
At first the watches continued to be made in Switzerland at the same manufactory. At some point that ended and JJ started buying parts from various suppliers and assembling them, first in Switzerland and then in the United States. They finally went out of...
As for collecting-no, not really. As I stated above, I just saw these at the same time and they looked like they'd be fun. You are the King of Vintage. I wouldn't dare attempt to dethrone you!
The first geography I do not recognise, the second you have made famous in the meantime 👍🏻 I guess the Air King is your first non-(semi)sports Rolex and the P15 the only Zenith so far? 😊
In any case, best of luck in Moscow for you and your family! I mainly expect blood, sweat and tears for the new year so let me just post a new acquisition: Best, Andreas ...
Haven’t quite made it so far - will take some more days. It’s exactly in the middle between home and office and I can hardly wait to go explore. Sadly postponed by at least a day as wife unwell. Hope the blood sweat and tears don’t all come to pass and th...
... and a great Theme for our First WS of the year which you open with our beloved Zenith Chrono!! You surely provoque me to think in something related with New Horizons and try to find something in my HD around this theme. Will return later with a few sh...
My travel schedule will be sorted next week but it’s one or two trips to Siberia by March for sure ❄️❄️❄️ Great shots and I vaguely remember your report of the trip. Seems your Speedy handled it without breaking a sweat 👍🏻
... or in the air. Horizons fuel my imagination. Horizons make me dream of places I discovered and fell in love and of people I’ve met and of far exotic places I’d love to visit some day. A nice watch is always with me when viewing Horizons! Good luck wit...
I would love it if our next home is closer to the sea 🤞🏻 Love it yet spent far too little time at / next to the sea over the last years. Got to change that.
These are a great demonstration that quartz doesn’t need to mean cheap. The zaratsu polishing, the atom clock like accuracy, the much stronger motor to move the typical GS hands... 👌🏻
New horizons....means something has to stay behind in order to make place for something new, right? I had to say goodbye to a few pieces last year...all of them nice, but then sometimes you need a change. GP with fancy dial and lugs from the 1950's Minerv...
Doing it your way certainly has one re-examine the collection critically on a regular basis. And your additions of 2018 are all superb, and very diverse at the same time. Looking forward to seeing where your journey goes in 2019 👍🏻
The Vintage 1945 with blue dial for example is a super nice piece, but for whatever reasons which I also do not understand, it was hardly on my wrist. The Sinn 103 ST C was a very recent addition, and it is nice, but it clearly has not the same perceived ...
Towards the end of 2018, I took a fairly big step into indie horology, and acquired this 1941 Remontoire. I guess it was a new horizon for me - I had never bought a Dutch watch before, and while I had dipped my toes into indies with a Habring Erwin and a ...
A superb choice! Seen one in Switzerland last year and have been immensely impressed. Maybe these are horizons I should head towards at some point, too...
HUGE Congrats with your amazing piece of dutchpride 👌🏻😘. Cant wait to get mine 1941 . I didnt opt for a KV dail because i allready own a Salmon guilloche dail . But i have to admit yours looks gorgeous 🤤
... I well know how beautiful and great watches are. The Ebel World Timer is a beautiful watch I´d love to own in my collection. It has one of my favorite complications. You can´t go wrong with any of them! Hagwe my friend! Abel
... but I should confess that I have been just an armchair diver in the last years! Anyway I keep enjoying my diving watches so much!! Lol! Hagwe my friend! Abel
. . . entailed acquisition of an up-to-date smart phone for the first time ever. "Finally," said I to myself, "I'll be able to take photos with the phone and post them instantaneously." Well, that requires setting up WPS on the phone first, which I haven'...
. . . there is a Merrill Heirloom table fitted with an Eminent Technology air-bearing arm in storage. One of these days, I'm going to put a system back together. The sticking point is that my tastes in audio tend to be on the costly side. ;-)
. . . and thoroughly spoiled by some of the finest equipment ever made. Frankly, given a choice between an Omega central and a first-rate analog rig, I'd pop for the stereo. Partial to Merrill tables, air-bearing arms, Berning amps, Convergent pre-, and (...
Setting it all up might take a day or two but having WPS at your fingertips in any queue you spend time in (and in traffic jams) is certainly worth the effort! Looking forward to seeing more phone shots and have a great ana-digi Sunday!
... I feel a lot of my journey is still pending in this World!! These are New Horizons worth exploring... though a real challenge for guys like me! Your picture is a winner: it beautifully shows how to answer the challenges offered by the New Horizons and...
