sorry for the late response Art
i think i know the ad's you mean. it was just a lucky shot and a bit of a play, but i wholeheartedly agree, you should go out and buy an Omega 
coincidentally, i went to the ancient city of Norwich, Norfolk today, the city i was born in, and had great fun finding a few AD's and trying watches on. this is something i lack where i am as you are aware. in fact we pretty much lack basic sanitary hygiene i tried on a new Ploprof which was equally if not more impressive than the original and a Seiko Ananta spring drive chrono, also very very impressive and beautifully finished. i may post some pics when i get home.
as an even better coincidence, you may be aware that when i sell my house i want to buy an apartment in a city with a view of the water. Norwich is only 90mins by train from London, 25 miles from my elderly parents, cheaper by far than the south of england and has several very nice city centre apartments looking over the river that runs through the middle. there are also several in the newly renovated buildings that were the hospital i was born in. that really appeals to me, buying an apartment in the very building i was born in. 'going back to my roots' etc.

WristScan Friday Feb 5 – vote for the weekly forum masthead
Hi All, I know many of us look forward to the weekly WristScan thread and the quality of the images and the thought that goes into the compositions continues to amaze me. Art, as Moderator, has previously undertaken the pleasant task of anointing a photog...

not really a vacation Hans, but thanks. i'm distancing myself from a difficult situation here and taking the opportunity to visit my elderly, but very sprightly parents. best Graham
... Than I understand..
why the limited internet access... However, my old mom is after dad pasted away getting computer lessons (no internet access yet) Best regards Hans
hi Aboen, if your referring to my pic, here's how.
it was actually very simple. i put the watch onto a piece of thin ice at the edge of a lake so you can see the water underneath it. i then used photoshop to change it to B&W, changed some of the highlights a bit and that was it. its one of my best pics i ...
You know what this photo reminds me of, Graham? . . .
. . . those hard liquor photos that supposedly have subliminal images embedded in the ice cubes. For some strange reason, I feel compelled to go out and buy an Omega ;-) . . . cordially, Art

No wombats and no fish either !
Plenty of rabbits, hares, birds, kangaroos and a lone fox that morning, but I rarely see wombats in the wild these days. No fish either, but it was a beautiful morning to sit by the river and contemplate life. A
I still remember one trip to NSW..
I was passing Healesville, and just some clicks (say miles) outside the sanctuary did I see some small forest and a bunch of vombats around there. (However also a lot of Koalas and some Forest Kingfishers...What a peaceful moment... Best Hans Mr Phascolom...
We had lots of them ...
... around my Uncle's dairy farm when I was a kid, although they used to damage the fences and were not particularly welcome - a wombat does not alter its path for anything, just pushes on through. They are nice creatures, though, and you were very lucky ...
My New GO Navigator w/ custom strap on the wrist :)
I think this GO Nav looks even better in person , good size for my wrist . nice case and crown plus superb movement. Loving the way this one wears........I think its me ! Have a good one everybody ! Best Drew This message has been edited by aboen on 2010-...
IMO...
Drew, The blue hands really make the watch stand out. As they say wear it in good health my friend! -MW
Nice! Good choice of leather, too . . .
. . . the Navigator is as close a G O gets to being a strap queen, a la Panerai . . . cordially, Art
Congrats Drew
Very nice piece, though I like the Pilot dial more. Cheers, -- Richard.
That's a cool shot!
The reflection off the crystal goes well with the water scene in the background. I wouldn't mind having this as the weekly masthead! -MW
A Master of GMT! :)
What a superb one, Jeff! Each time I try to stay far away from the 6542, something kindly reminds me this watch... Life is so cruel! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-02-05 02:24:27
GMT Master
I agree with Nicolas. This is the Master of all GMT. It makes my humble 1675 to run to the end of the drawer. Cheers, Nilo
Did you catch anything ???

thanks all!
I'm going to be playing in the snow all weekend, we're forecasted to get another 24 inches or so. The winds will be too strong to ride the ATV comfortably, so it's going to be one of these vehicles! Both are absolute mountain goats, the red one has more g...
Italian shoes are nice...
...But difficult to find if you have sailboats (read a Size 12-13/46-47) as me I have to stick with my Lloyds or similar best Hans P.S. But yes, I like your shoes , and actually your pictures as well...
Thanks, Hans.
I like your style. BTW, you'd never be able to find shoes in Japan. I have enough trouble finding mine here.
Thanks Davo..
... I actually had one business trip were one og two pair broke and i searched for shoes in Tokio, Singapore, HK and Bangkok. The only place I could get shoes before travelling further was i Bangkok. And only handmade. They now sit together with a bunch o...
Sheesh! I have to get my shoes AND my watch in focus?
You guys have really raised the bar. Shoes and watches! I'm going camping today and haven't decided on the watch, so the one on my wrist til I leave work will have to do. Luckily it coordinates with my shoes today!!! Cazalea Looks like the ol' shoes might...
Who's raising the bar here?
Hi Cazaela, Matching stitching for strap and shoes..wow what sense of detail! How did you finally get both in focus? Hand on floor or foot on desk? I love your GMT btw and the strap is a perfect match to give a strong and very masculine impression, IMHO N...

3 in mirror?
That is a very nice watch, GEO. But why is the 3 in mirror shape? -Flere
Jetlag
Ah, stupid me. Its a 3 allright, but it is an E in mirror. Must be because of the jetlag. I am for a few days now in Tokyo, going home tomorrow. I cannot wear this now because it is at Blancpain for servicing. I hope it is back soon. < > HAGWE - Flere Thi...
Re: 3 in mirror?
Thanks!, these glass discs turn around and tell the time. It's 3.45 at the watch. GEO
I love it when you post this one.
A favorite of mine. And one of the reasons I love AP so much. HAGWE. respo
Liked your third watch particularly well
Hi foullis, your vintage JLC on your 3. pic is a great classic timepiece - my congratulations! Best, anaesdoc
thank you !
It's the oldest, produced in circa 1948, SS case, caliber 428. Cheers, Milan
