Really sorry you can't join us tomorrow...
So i'll try to enjoy it for two 
I also don't know much about Bedat. It has an ETA movement with big date. The attention to detail on the dial and case finish is just remarkable. Some of the details you just have to see "live" as these things can't get captured with a camera. One thing's for sure... i am deeply impressed with this watch and the few watch buddies who saw it where also very impressed with the details and finish.
The 40mm case fits very comfortable on the wrist and the leather strap and deployant clasp are also of impeccable quality.
Hope to see you next meeting, Oliver.

Back on the wrist …
… after a week with a pocket watch is this classic; and it feels good. Don’t understand why some people were slow to adopt the wrist watch after the First World War. No introduction required for this one …...
Great photo Andrew...
What are we to do, Nicolas still hasn't caught on to this great piece? HAGWE, -- Richard.
Richard, i'm pretty sure Vlad has a Speedmaster now
if i'm right he bought a 1965 105.003 a couple of months ago. best Graham
very nice Richard, i've always...
very nice Richard, i've always liked the broad arrow, but never owned one. having checked out the omega website today to reply to Pete i can see that there are a lot of nice choices to be had from the meteorite to the solar impulse. best Graham From: www ...
Hooray Nicolas!
Great catch! Plus, now you are certified for Space Missions ;-) Enjoy! -- Richard.
we do love our Omegas dont we Andrew :) nice jacket BTW
my offering for the week is a vintage Omega, but not a speedy. best Graham
Thanks Graham ...
Thanks Graham, While the colours and pattern in the jacket are a little exaggerated in that photo, it does demonstrate how versatile the Speedy Pro is; it can be easily dressed up or down. Regards Andrew
Not yet but
SInce I'm working, from here, on a project that targets Sweden ... let's say it's Friday, of a very long week. Using a Sub LN (Lunette Noire). A great weekend to all, Nilo...
Thank you
I'm doing a series of the recently discontinued Rolex models ("the departed" - translates to Portuguese as "fresh corpses"): - GMT II - Sub date - Sub LV/LN - SD Some day I will post the entire series, on the Rolex area, and the "making of". Cheers, Nilo
After a computer crash at work today...
...(which I am still sorting out), I wish it was Friday now! Since posting my review of it this week, I've been missing this beauty. HAGWE! Daos...
Yes and for a change
after all these years with mechanic wacth(es) on the wrist all the time, I got this as a gift (or more of appreciation) HAGWE everyone...
After seeing all the soccer posts on TimeOut, I had to take this pic for the Friday scan
Traveling in South America right now, and you can feel the enthusiasm for soccer all around the city. The 'Snoopy' giveaways were so cute I had to take this picture: Have a great weekend!!! Regards, ED-209...
Nice Deepsea !
This one is growing on me....might just have to hook up with one....someday ! Nice Pic ;-) Best Drew
Sadly it is a Friday without a Boston NBA title (but with a new watch!)
Here is my new (well, pre owned) purchase. And Nicolas, you won't have to ask me to post additional photos - please check out my "ladies' watch week" post on HoMe for more details. Hope you folks in LA have a good weekend. Ginger Ulysse Nardin Michaelange...
My best friend's wife has exactly the same!
And he bought it for her while we were in Italy together... I know this watch very well, Ginger. I even tried it, and I loved it. Nice catch! Best, my friend. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-06-17 21:37:55
lovely UN Ginger and one rarely seen here in either ladies or gents sizes
i dont know why this model doesnt get much airtime as it is a great shape. perhaps its more suited to a ladies wrist than a gents and we are very short on lady purists. one never knows why some are often seen and others rarely seen. one of lifes mysteries...
I am really getting fond of UN
And I like the Michaelangelo better in the smaller sizes - some of UN's designs don't scale well (IMHO) and get overwhelming in the really large watches. Have fun this week, G
i have a similar feeling...
i have a similar feeling about the current sizes. our Ludwig perpetual is the perfect size in my opinion, yet they make them bigger and bigger. as for the week, sunday wont be much fun i think. its fathers day in UK and my first year with no children arou...
Well, they are quite different ...
but my choice would be picture number one, in most of the cases Beautiful! Oliver
you are right but
sometimes i need to squeeze time for another lovely watch. to be frank, this ap is on my wrist for 2 weeks continously. cheers
nice and simple....
Base PAM's are, in my opinion the best looking Panerai's. All that history in a simple dial with a nice vintage strap to match.
Well, it is not a PAM
But a Pre V... The " PAM " is related to watches which came since 1997. In the Pre V era, the code is 5218 - 2xx or 3xx. Best! Nicolas
Very Nice PAM Nicolas...I love it!
HAGWE, my friend. I will show you what I am wearing tomorrow...It is still Thursday here. -- Richard.
I allways like it when I see one ...
also I couldn´t imagine that one on my wrist. But that´s me ... HAGWE Oliver
Superb " simple complexity ", jxnco...
Or is it a " complex simplicity "? This guillochage is sublime, my friend. HAGWE, Nicolas
Not yet friday here..but its dress up day tomorrow..
and I'm going my GS with new custom Gator strap and GS deployant buckle. Sooo loving this one ;-) HAGWE All...
i just love that GS Aboen.
sadly i had to sell my vintage GS's, but one day i will get another more modern one. i'd like a modern handwind. the finish on these pieces is superb, easily as good as many swiss brands. the Japanese should be very proud of their watchmaking prowess, esp...
Details ...
I love the details in this watch. The case, dial and finish all look great. Nice pictures that do it justice too. Thanks! Andrew
TGIF!
It's lunchtime! Enjoying a juicy burger, some fries, and my AP today... This message has been edited by Davo on 2010-06-17 23:21:14...
Awesome watch Davo
AP is growing on me.Hope it enjoys some wrist time for many years to come,cheerz
Love to see great watches ...
Love to see great watches in ordinary places, Davo. Nice shot as usual. And lunch doesn't look too bad either! Andrew
Indeed Oliver
I'm always :back to basics,as they are such a source of pleasure! HAGWE my friend.
All these beautiful vintages …
…that has been around lately, made me long for something old! Looked in the back of my safe and found this 35 year old lady. Wearing her today with great pleasure HAGWE Blomman...
that is a lovely original condition piece Blomman
it seems a shame that its been at the back of the safe for a long time. best Graham
Thanks, and you are absolutely right, Graham!
This one deserves more wrist time… I will have to make a change Best Blomman
Blomman, she is lovely...
... dating with her should make you smile all the day dial color looks really nice, what was the original color? stefan
Yes it does…
Thanks, Stefan! Yes, a date with her does put a smile on my face Original colour blue, faded into a copper brown… Best Blomman
color blue???
... it means my blue Memo that is the same as your model will be turning into copper brown too? i think i need to wear mine more often especially exposing it under Sun. stefan

Very nice specimen of E 875, Blomman.
Tell me one thing, my friend: Is the box of your watch blue or brown? It should be blue, normally. If it is the case, I may have the solution, which would arrange you and me. Best, Nicolas
Brown…
Thank you, Nicolas! The box is brown, purchased the watch incl. box and paper from an auction house some years ago. I was under the impression that the blue boxes was before the brown ones?! Best Blomman
I have the contrary feeling, Blomman.
To me, the brown box came before the blue one, which started in the early 70ies, my friend. So, the blue may be the correct one for your E 875, while the brown may be the good one for my E 855. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Strange…
I have 6 JLC’s from the late 60 th and early 70 th with brown boxes. The blue boxes I have are in worse condition and I got separate without watch, so I have always assumed they were older… But when you think of if, the 90 th boxes are blue, so I might be...
One day, when I get a bit of time,
I will make a stack of my Vintage JLC boxes... That may be as fun as interesting. Best, Nicolas
I first have to find them all in my mess...
Then, I will need to find a nice place, neutral, to enhance and to focus on them. I think I have something like 11 or 12 Vintage boxes. The good thing is that it will be less dangerous than with watches! Best, Nicolas

Oliver, Patrice's post begins "My General"
Today is the 70th anniversary of General De Gaulle's resistance statement after the fall of France to the Nazi's. That's what is in French that you can not read. Cheers, -- Richard.
Part II
Oliver, that it is always sunny in the South of France is simply the difference between there and Germany, sorry. Your consolation is ALS is in Germany ;-) Enjoy Patrice! -- Richard.
That is a good one ...
Next week is the official beginning of summer and I will be in Paris ... assume what I will have on the wrist ;-)
Lol....
Ton esprit est magnifique mon ami.... Peut etre c'etait bien ci Cisse a joue..... Nice watch by the way.... HAGWE... Cheers
