WS theme - It's a nice day for a white wedding
By: Baron - Mr Red : June 6th, 2013-06:00
The sun is out. Birds and bees everywhere. There is something in the air. As Billy Idol once sung, it's a nice day for a white wedding. So the theme this week is wedding-related......something old or something new or something borrowed or something blue. ...

Past weddings .... Too late now ... LOL But a marriage of caffeine n rolex is a delicate ritual .... Waiting ..... Calling ......... Matrimony! Great way to start any day, especially wedding day ! ...
Something new and old (not that old)
By: nilomis : June 6th, 2013-09:52
I went chasing this watch last year without any success. Or it was way too expensive or way too damaged. Last week, it showed up: Breguet Aeronavale type XX. I know that movement wise is ... OK but I love the discrete charm of the dial and hands. Not new ...
Thank you and ...

Good hunt. They pop up from time to time, not as common the date version. Cheers, Nilo
I remember yours ...

That have a great French "pedigree". The bracelet is a way too shinny to my taste. Cheers, Nilo

Good eye for the time ...
By: nilomis : June 7th, 2013-16:26
In fact it was 13:50 (we use what is called in other places "military time") or 1:50 PM and the light was way bright than I use to shoot. What I did was to close the aperture and use a higher shutter speed to simulate a low light condition. Of course, I p...
Nice capture
By: flamenco : June 7th, 2013-15:51
One that has been on my list as week, just never got round to it. Congrats!
For got to ask.
By: flamenco : June 8th, 2013-23:29
Is that a leminia 5501 within? How does it feel with a bracelet on the wrist? Thanks
Your answers are ...
By: nilomis : June 9th, 2013-16:15
1) No, is no a Lemania 5501. This was discussed here: Then when Breguet decided to reintroduce the Type XX in the mid-90s, Lemania created a flyback version based on the Ebel variant and removed the calendar (the Aeronavale was the first modern Type XX). ...
Old yet new to me

Just landed. My first one of these. Late 1950s, but with charm and discretion. ...
Many thanks

Seems to be running well -after 22.5 hours (not long in my possession) it seems to be running accurately, although always more difficult to assess without a seconds hand. I believe that it would not be out of place at anyone's wedding, to stay with this w...

... Fall season down here, your romantic and warm spring time introduction led me to remember my own wedding and the watch I was wearing myself on that occasion, 40 years ago. That beloved timepice - a 5513 Sub from 1965 - is no longer with me: I lost it ...

Abel, Is a true shame that our beloved Rolexes are victim of those S.A. "incidents". That is the main reason why I don't own and don't plan to own those beautiful pieces. ¡Saludos! (I love those ¡ and ¿ from Spanish) Nilo
Agree with you again Nilo... so sadly!...
By: Subexplorer : June 6th, 2013-14:22

Unbelievable

that such a small dial (33 mm) can contain so many details. /Anders
Oh that 5070P!
