Righteous Brothers unchained? Check. Roy . . .
. . . sans chains? Yes!
Silver chain draped over . . .
. . . the Rail.
Off for a haircut, then headed downtown to hang out with my cousin and his poker group tonight. Cards aren't up my alley, but he's got a pool table . . . all I need are a few takers!
Best,

Wristscan for the 10th of November is Free and live
As announced yesterday, the theme for this week's Wristscan is free, although unchained is also an interesting aspect to consider (liberated, too). Here's my entry - the Chopard LUC Sport 2000. The liberating aspect was the way it came about. As both my C...
Unchained, you say? . . .
. . . well, you knew . . . . . . this was coming. Fresh photo of today's watch coming later . . .

That Railmaster with a chain is quite the thing!
As for cards, there is only one game I still enjoy - tarock. But then you need a minimum of three (four is better) to play properly and I am not well enough organised for that at the moment...
Ready for a game anytime, Tim . . .
. . . let me know when you're planning to ride a south-bound train ;-) . . .
Thanks Art! I do need to make a trip South
after the Holidays, enjoy some of your Winter sun. Grew up with a pool table in the garage but these fingers are very rusty!! Take care, Tim
The Railmaster love is more than just a fling for Art :)
I remember him talking about it and his eyes lit up like searchlights - and that's before he got it
There are three kinds of guys in this world: Speed, Sea . . .
. . . and Rail. I'm . . . . . . a Rail-er. ;-)
You too, Abel? That makes at least half a dozen Rails . . .
. . . amongst Purists so far. Truly, a community watch . . .
Waiting here as well...
An AD had a Railmaster in the shop window for a day, the Boutique still did not get any it seems, not even the non-limited version, which I would really like to try. So you are not the only one
Nice to know I am not alone my friend KM! I know Omega has been rather late with their shippings lately. Also, new offerings usually ...
... arrive with certain delay to my Country. I learned to be patiend! Lol! Cheers! Abel
Monday to Friday
Howdy fellow Purists, submitting a bevy of wristshots, a separate post on Horological Meanderings on the horo-rationale for each piece soon Best, Horo ...
Now we're starting with some real big guns!
The combinations are superb, all of them. Although I have to say that the Breguet / Alfa and the Reverso truly kill me I am humbled Have a great weekend and looking forward to individual posts on these!
Thank you sir
Humility and Horology should be a package, and I have learnt that from my years at Purist.... Of which come Tuesday will be my 10th year😇😊 Have a post coming up, with a watch and a brand I got to know well thru Purists. Best, Horo
SheWhoMustBeObeyed gave it to me as a birthday prezzie😬
Even till now, I still can't bring myself to pay the premium for a Bamford Best, Horo
I will check if the club still have them.
The local Alfa club is struggling, there are but less then 20 of us left. The once roaring club numbered almost 200 in its hey days. Best, Horo
Thank you Mate
As a recent saying go...... Unless you are Don Draper, the only game left for one are shoes and wrist choices.... Quote unattributed 😆 Best, Horo
I know.... And I will make it a personal mission to flood....
....the Puristspro various forums with photos of mine.... 😁 Best, Horo
Much appreciated
Though I would have preferred to be a lady killer, which clearly I am not. The only game left for me is wristwear 😁 Best, Horo
A double winner - Breguet and Alfa
The Breguet Enamel dial Chrono is superb! And the Alfa Romeo cuff links are the icing on the cake! Looks like a winner to me 😀 Best Stefan
The weekly Wristscan contest is always intense
And over the years...many close calls. If there was prize money involved, I am pretty sure we would have legal litigations on hand, or wrists. 😂 Many thanks for the vote of confidence. Best, Horo
I like free themes, so let me join with a couple of recent shots...
... starting with a photo that I believe showcases the strong character of the Omega Railmaster Trilogy 1957: ... followed by a watch you have most probably not seen before, which is no surprise since it is a prototype of a new model I will introduce in a...
Two fantastic shots, Henrik!
Seen the Uhrenwerft already ( ) and it's very, very nice! And a great Railmaster shot 👌🏻
Your Omega shot makes me think to a tiger with those sunbeam reflections and the index colour. Very nice
And what about this Uhrenwerft. A “pop up watch shot”! Best wishes Alkiro
You did well to source that 2777 a few years ago, Joe . . .
. . . as original specimens were never easy to find, and practically impossible now. Not many vintage Omegas left on my list; an RAF (and there were a few) would be a natural complement to my 2179 that's finally running properly after three years of tinke...
The next incoming should arrive before the end of the year, K . . .
. . . and it's the classic reference every Omega collector should have: their first automatic chronomètre. There are a few more in the watchmaker's pipeline that have already been shared on the Omega forum, but not here on WS as they're not ready for prim...
Almost all 2179s were produced on order . . .
. . . for the US Army, Nicolas. There were a few purely civilian models (delineated by a 2179 reference number without a -x ), but chances are almost certain any 2179 you find will have US military roots. The distinction between those with a 'US Army' eng...
In honor of your latest family member I'm free to introduce you to my family
My wife, me and our 3 kids HAGWE D ...
Now let me guess...
Are the round ones make and the rectangular ones female? Great family shot, Damjan 👌🏻
Thanks dear friend...
I didn't placed grandfather, grandmother and mother in law on picture
