Wrong camera, Wrong, wrist, Right watch
Given the free theme, I'd like to submit an incredible photo of an incredible watch (on a unfortunately very standard wrist).
Shot by our very own Photography moderator, Casey, at a recent gathering of PPros in Tokyo, I present to you a very special Zeitwerk, the Handerskunst, of which 30 were made. This, my dear friends, is model #1, owned by the doyen of Lange collecting, Mr. Y.K.
The wrist, leather, and awe are my own.
Best,
Matthew

Memories to keep it in your mind...
whats the timescale for its return... beautiful Patek... love those strong lugs. Cheers Andrew
Wow... thats a lengthy time...
but the wait makes the return even sweeter! Cheers Andrew
As you're going to win the wristscan category...
I need to find a good static shot Keep the memory warm for this one.
That's a very cool watch.
And it looks big, athough I can't imagine it being more than 33-34mm?
Free as a DSOTM Vintage...
Here's. Dark Side Of the Moon - Vintage Edition On the wrist In B&W A wonderful weekend to all, Nilo ...
Great pics Nilo
Love it on that Suede strap... give it a really cool look... hard against soft... rough against smooth... Cheers Andrew
Yes, they work ...
I don't know why I don't wear this one more frequently. Cheers, Nilo
10/10...
Beautiful example of a vintage Nautilus and one that looks in peerrrrrfect condition! Cheers Andrew
Thank you Andrew! When I purchased it years ago I thought: I am insane, this is ....
.... so much money, but heck, it is such a nice watch. Today: different story. Still such a nice watch and the price is forgotten. Cheers, HSTE
Now it's my turn . . .
. . . to be impressed! Yes, that is my mug shot evident in the crystal ;-) . . .
. . . at which point you will have . . .
. . . over a million posts! Bill should make ready for a seven-digit counter from now.
I've an identical reference with a white dial . . .
. . . but they don't come across as nearly the same, do they? Not an engraved dial, to be sure, but still quite different. Art ...
Whenever Black Connie makes an appearance, I feel kinda like Peter O'Toole . . .
. . . in Goodbye, Mr Chips . Everyone seems to go ga-ga over his beautiful young wife! Can't help with emojis, Jev, but will a video do? Art
Happy to see you listened to me about your Seiko's shot ;-)
A winning one trust me Best wishes Alkiro
An ice cold stream, not thermal? I hope!
I love that shot. And the Robert Mitchum needs no more praise from me.
Free to share something new yet classic
I will have to get back to this one in much more detail over the next few weeks, but here is my best static shot for today: The Girard-Perregaux Vintage 45, Ref 2593, the classic size. CC ...
Thanks Joe, in fact
probably not in the bag, but on the wrist, will share my thoughts on this one soon.
Thanks Harry, those 2593 from the early 2000s and
the older 2594 from 1997 are quite common and had been produced in considerable numbers. However, there is one thing rather rare and special about my specimen.
Very very nice!
Both watch and picture... wow it jumps out of the screen. Absolutely beautiful. Cheers Andrew
Thanks Nico, I agree
some say the case is too small by today's standards, but it is not at all. Having both the XXL (which I also love but it's a very different watch), I do prefer the classic size.
And now for something different
An old, simple favorite. A beautiful back too. Best, Tim ...
One I don't know...
but I like it! What size is it? The dial looks definitely vintage but the movement not... Very nice Tim, Andrew
Hi Andrew. It is not that old
As the 42mm gives it away. It was sold in Italy to a friend who just could not handle the size, so now it rests on my paw!
Thanks HS. It has been a long time favorite and several of my Italian friends get crazy when they
put it on. Winds like champ and it quite accurate if wound twice a day. Best, Tim
Nothing like rubber against the skin...
referring to AP rubber straps. Great one playing in the light and showing off that lovely dial. Cheers Andrew
For me the coolest AP
even more than the classic RO because the style goes so well with the Diver theme and rubber strap. Didn't know you have this one. New?
Thanks!
No, the watch is 5 years old, I bought it a year ago, and I wear it only from March/April till September. It still has the normar, stainless steel caseback, which suits better IMHO for a diver/tool watch. Yours, Adam
