Roots & Rythm
Great shot of a true classic. Ironically, I just purchased this eclectic collection the other day: an interesting insight into the man behind the music: Mose Allison, Charlie Mingus, Charlie Parker, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Ray Charles, The Everly Brothers ...

Wristscan week #11 - Let's see the "watches with the other objects we collect"
Team, Show to us your watches and the objects (or things) that you collect or have. There will be a special moderator prize for the most unusual object. I will start: Call me crazy but I'm attracted to anything that has ... hands or needles. I don't colle...
Only one in my files, a Karrée perpetual . . .
. . . alongside pool cues . . . . . . so I'll try to take another tomorrow at the seaside dive bar. A wrist shot might be tough ;-) . . . ...
I was expecting ...
A watch strapped into a pool ball. We go to be waiting for your pics from the seaside bar. Cheers, Nilo
Well, I didn't quite make it down . . .
. . . to the seaside dive bar yesterday, but did manage to spend several hours at a pool hall . . . . . . near Jed's office. I didn't realize it was Friday the 13 th until taking this photo! ...
Here is the GO ....
Hunting my dreams. About pool, I don't play since Carter was president!!! Cheers, Nilo
Since you like it so much . . .
. . . here's a better pic . . . . . . taken at sundown several days ago. Funny about pool: I gave it up (of necessity) around the time of Carter's presidency, and didn't take it back up until late in Obama's first term, a decades-long gap. Give it a try, ...
You'll have to tell me where so I can sneak out and meet you there, Art.
Great photo! Best, CaliforniaJed
Fantasia Billiards, Jed . . .
. . . and pool tables are free between 3 and 7 pm when you order two pints. Free parking nearby, too; four hours of practice time costs next to nothing. Tell me: when was the last time anything important happened after 3 pm? :-)

Your object is a Compensated Altimeter Barometer
I found this on the eBay when googling it : The mesurement is made in centimeters and not in millibars, used in the end of the 19th century. I was intrigued and wanted to know what it was :p Beautiful pictures with your "extreme" watch Nilo. I just took ...
A Compensated Altimeter Barometer ...
And a lecture about Chinese Health Balls. Ppro is not only about watches. Ppro is culture! Thanks for the info and you great picture of a Speedmaster Mark IV. Cheers, Nilo

After kind and thorough explanation of Chinese Health Balls we at least deserve some explanation for Geisha balls ;) Best D

The Geisha lecture will take place in the 18+ side of PurisPro! Thanks for the kind word about my shot :) Cheers, Mark
All this talk about Chinese balls...
...stirred up a memory of some Chinese ceramics stowed away in a cupboard (another collecting phase, in days gone past). These little fellas were a present (if you can believe it) from Mrs pplater's ageing parents a few years ago. Of course, the filigree ...
