As I will pick today my latest long hunted piece... Best, Nicolas

I may be opening a can of worms here as I am not all that familiar with Rolex history. I believe that both the 5512 and the 1655 have been connected to McQueen. I'll shoot from the hip at the 1655, but if you are insisting on year and exact dial/hand conf... 

Holw did you guess that I was saving some time to take the pics? I spent a superb day with our friend E.J ( emilio ) who was here in Paris just for the pleasure of sharing some crazy moments... Now, there is also another possibility if we speak of Steeve ...  

Early 80'ies? Looks brand new apart from the fabulous patina on the generous tritium that adds sooo much testosterone to this model!? Fantastic! Enjoy it my friend! Nikolaj

1978! Yes, this was the kind of stuff I was looking for... A superb condition, and a great patina. What else could be asked? Best, and thanks! Nicolas

. . . Explorers, Nicolas, one of which belonged to his father . . . I'm not sure if he's aware of the connection to McQueen, though. Congrats! Warm regards, Art

I am very happy that you managed to find one of your liking after such a long search!!! May it bring you many pleasures, and tonight, I will bring out the good tequila and celebrate in your honor!! Abrazo, Alex

Thanks, my friend. It was a long hunt, so you imagine the intensity of the pleasure! A funny watch which wil deserve a review... Best, my friend. Nico

big congrat my friend...

Yes, I'm veeeeery pleased with this one. It's difficult to put the reasons in words, but I love it a lot! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Friday started with a watch which is generally reserved for festive occasions such as Christmas, Australia Day and, of course, Easter. That is principally because the colours in the dial echo tin foil egg wrappers, gift wrap, flags and so on, a fact illum...

Not all vintage Grand Seiko's have the classic dial - This one from early 70's houses the 36000 bph 6146 movement. Original band and faceted crystal as well (see how the zero on the date is distorted in the photo.) Better photos another time. Have a good ...

Hi Guys Met with a friend last Sunday for coffee. We both bring some watches and straps and just chat. Well that Sunday was a little different. We wound up trading and I came home with a early IWC INGENIEUR with caliber 853 automatic movement. The watch c...  

. . . our mutual friend, then he has a well-developed collection of vintage Ingeneurs to choose from . . . slightly envious, Art

Generation of IWCs. Especially the 85xx movements. I have a Yacht Club with the 8541B and I absolutely love it for: Being most reliable and accurate Being such an efficient autowinder Its soft and crisp manual winding Having absolutely NO slack when adjus... 

Congratulations Bill! The combination of the black dial, arrowhead markers and Arabics mark your 666 as being rather rare. The vast majority were silver dialed, and featured the classic Calatrava style markers. I also like the way that the black dial has ... 

I'll be wearing this until Easter Sunday, which coincidentally, is my birthday as well......  

so you'll be wearing the JlC until your birthday... Hm, are you expecting a new watch among the presents ?

Opening presents before my birthday, that is. It's bad, big....and black. My first keeper IWC! This message has been edited by STB on 2009-04-10 09:31:39...  

Receive such a fine present (wouldn't be from yourself by any chance? ) An exetremely nice representative of the IWC flieger family! Enjoy it! Nikolaj

Is this your birthday gift? Happy Easter. Nicolas

I have had this old Zenith for a number of years now. I am sad to say that for a long time it was left alone in a drawer, but I have recently grown very fond of it. The "Pilot" name on the dial puzzles me as the style doesn't exactly match other aviation ...

...in one thread we have both the 175eme pulsometer and the LP (but not LE) tachymeter versions of the watch! The watch is to me very pretty on its own merits, but the "early FPJ" pedigree makes it even more fun. Best, Gary G

I was a very Nauti boy........  

It's lovely and has a great feel and wearabilty,especially for smaller wrists.Bracelet is so comfortable, it seems to mould around your wrist.Congrats!
