A couple from a few days ago.
Love that Cyclops..



A bit of distortion..

The WS for the 8th of September - β€˜Sports favorite’ - is live

 
By: KMII : September 8th, 2023-11:22
Given that sports watches are the flavor of the decade (and possibly longer) - thanks @Captain for pointing this out - let’s see some of your favorite pieces. Whether the shots involve sports or not very much depends on you. Looking forward to seeing your...  

And here some of mine for a start

... more considering the two great Speedmasters (vintage and new 321) in your collection. Speedmaster is an iconic chrono for car racing pilots after all. Enjoy your Ultra Deep and Speedys so much dear Art! Cheers, Abel

I guess Speedies could be considered sports watches in a broader sense . . .

 
By: Dr No : September 11th, 2023-00:05
. . . but they're more akin to tool watches in my perspective, Abel. That's why I left them out. In the distant past there was an Overseas . . . . . . in my collection. I would consider that to be a sports watch. Best, Art ...  

Forgot about this one! . . .

ThatΒ΄s a beautiful gift dear Art. Very nice! It has the added value of being a present from a good friend. That makes it priceless.

 
By: Subexplorer : September 11th, 2023-13:11
Past year I also received a beautiful watch as a present from a good friend. That was a Chronoscope (previous model) from his own collection which he wore just a very few times. Another priceless watch in my collection. Hopefuly your will come back from s...

As a Doxa fan, I am not surprised of your fondness for my yellow poseidon . The Paneria is PAM140 with a carbon fibre dial. Have a good week ahead!

Nice to see

A great day to watch the Goodwood Revival 2023 . . Enjoy watching the live stream below . . ...  

Love your strap choice to go with it!

 
By: KMII : September 8th, 2023-18:05
For many years the Monaco (in any iteration) was the absolute dream piece for me. Then I cannot say why, when I could easily afford it the fascination never translated into me getting one πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Great, signature piece πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play

By: KMII : September 9th, 2023-13:25
A great selection of pieces, HS and true gems there. Would the PP5172 be your current favorite?

Indeed I do!

 
By: KMII : September 10th, 2023-04:41
Technically the Type XX would at least have qualified initially πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

Tremendous lineup …

Both Patek watches are superb as is your choice of a Daytona. Perfect for this theme. Best regards Captain

My biggest fav of your line–up, were the wonderful Red Sub ( Single Red 1680), both your Blancpain FFβ€˜s (lovely Vintage BTW !), the superb shot of your Marina Militare and also the Pre– Daytona 6238 ( pretty rare find, I guess); the Omegas are not far beh... 

Hello dear friend HS for your always kind comments after viewing my posts. IΒ΄m delighted to know you liked both shots and watches shared today.

 
By: Subexplorer : September 9th, 2023-21:05
Agree with you that the old 1680 Sigle Red Submariner is a great watch. IΒ΄m always surprised how a little touch or red color adds so much charm to the dial of this classic model. I was very lucky to find this example in almost no previous wearing some yea... 

When you say never a sportsman…

Weren’t you a passionate diver? At least that’s what my memory tells me. Great shots as always and I have to say the water shot of the MM is my favorite of yours this weekend πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

I fully understand the behind a computer type of sport you speak of. Will definitely need to change that at some point though πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ»

Indeed, this really is a phenomenon of our time. From memory, it all started on the late 80’s and early 90’s. Suddenly people started wearing more sports watches as apposed to dress watches as a daily routine. My Doxa photo is with some of my Scubapro equ... 

Thank you so much for your kind answer dear Captain. Interesting what you mention as though I have noticed the trend towards the wearing of sports watches I had no idea of when it started.

 
By: Subexplorer : September 10th, 2023-13:20
Thank you for your clarification about the Doxa photograph. Scubapro makes top quality equipment. Here in my Country it was the brand of choice of our Navy divers since the late 1960's. Have a nice Sunday my dear friend. Abel

Scubapro make great quality products …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 10th, 2023-14:39
I’ve been very happy with my regulators from them. Hope your weekend has been a pleasurable one. Best regards Captain

Nice selection Captain!

 
By: KMII : September 10th, 2023-04:45
Some real classics and heavyweights you show this weekend πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Btw. is that a steering wheel behind the Doxa?

Thank you πŸ™β€¦

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 10th, 2023-10:27
The Doxa photo is with some of my Scubapro diving equipment. A sporting shot for you, with a steering wheel in the background and the 321 Speedmaster. Best regards Captain ...  

Ah, wonderful!

 
By: KMII : September 10th, 2023-15:42
Have seen that Abel identified the logo 😊 The steering wheel shot is spot on as always πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Wow!

 
By: KMII : September 10th, 2023-04:47
The Alpine Eagle HF is a sublime piece - what color dial version is it? And lovely to see the Ebel - an iconic piece πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Very cool indeed!

 
By: KMII : September 10th, 2023-15:44
The HF is a piece I am pretty interested in (just need to find a strap maker that will allow me to replace the bracelet πŸ˜‰) πŸ‘πŸ»

I believe that…

 
By: KMII : September 12th, 2023-04:28
But almost all of my watches end up on a strap sooner or later πŸ˜‚πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

By: KURT_DAVID : September 11th, 2023-09:21
It was was actually a bit of fun aimed at my fellow rowers as they all have fancy fitness/heart monitoring smart watches and they’re constantly checking on the go. I’m the only one without one. Have a great week.

Good move!

I also refuse to wear one of the constant monitoring devices 😁
