Stop?!
Not yet – still miss many Memos…!
This lady is a decolourised E 875 aka “Speedbeat” from the Cal 916 28800bph.
Earlier Memos with the Cal 825 has a bph of 18000.
From the beginning this one was blue like the one to the left in pic.
Thank you, Nilo!

March 18 - Chocolate Friday
Anybody like chocolate…?! I am having a chocolate Friday! Yes, girls like chocolate too! HAGWE Blomman This message has been edited by blomman on 2011-03-17 15:47:03...
First time I see a pic of your wife! :))))
I am hungry, now! HAGWE, my early friday friend. Nicolas
She is very shy! :)
Only time she shows her face is if somebody offers chocolate! HAGWE, my friend Blomman
And I was looking for my cup... Thanks, Eitan. [nt]

Please stop!
Blomman, I consider this as a double offense. Memovox and Chocolate. Gorgeous watch and dial and it follows, of was followed, by the dial design of the E871 (JLC logo balancing with the date on the other side). For us, all the newbies. What is this model?...

Blomman, I love the creativeness..................
Of your 4th photo HAGWE everybody.
Lovely seamaster.
I too prefer coffee to chocolate in the morning. Unless it's on pancakes. The early seamaster is such a lovely watch.
..I agree...
Coffee for me is the better choice in the morning I really love my CK2913, although over 50years of age do I use it very often Cheers Hans
Beautiful Omega!
My favourite vintage Omega! I will have to start hunting one day… HAGWE Blomman
also mine...although...
...I have started the hunt for ck2914+15... Mine is a 2913-3 and actually the numbers on the bezel is going the other way around on the -1 and -2 ...so I might have to have another one come to me my precious Let the hunt begin Best and Hagwe Hans
Intense
Hi All, I don't usually post static watch photos, but I found the effect here quite interesting. Some of the early F.P.Journe dials had a more granular appearance which picks up the light. The YG dial of the Octa RdM is at its most interesting in bright s...
intense indeed
Great picture. I have the same observation with the WG Resonance dial, it gains incredible depth in low light conditions. HAGWE Andreas
Stunning pair, Andrew!
And perfect combo – one for mornings and one for evenings… HAGWE Blomman
We had a lovely sunny autumn day today ...
... and I was wearing both watches. The YG dial of the Octa has a crystalline, granular surface that catches the light in all different ways. In low light it's just a matt yellow. It's one of the charming things about the watch. Thanks Blomman. Andrew
You can. And I'd appreciate it ...
And if you went for the RG/RG Centigraph I would think the same of you! That watch would make a nice addition to these two pictured I think. Andrew
in due course!!
i sort of prioritize a certain Lange ahead of the centigraphe...for now. and saving hard!!
Can never have too much chocolate Blomman
Great watch and photos. She sure looks happy "holding" your watch. Regards, Richard.
Caution: Snake territory ...
When out walking, beware the dreaded blue snake.... He likes to hide in trees, silently stalking his prey ... He will even lie in wait in the grass, waiting for his chance ... He's hungry for you ... HAGWE. Regards, Richard....
Have you found your watch yet?
Have you found your PSM yet, in all that long grass, Richard? Great shots as usual. Andrew
No fear about losing it ...
More fear about others walking by and wondering what I'm doing lying on the grass taking a photo of a watch. Regards, Richard.
That snaky hand
is the most attractive thing about PSM watches I think. Nice to find one in the grass! Best Andreas
Two Fridays running...
...and running two Fridays! This week for 'aptronym', who knows Y. Special thanks again to the Purist who made it possible - you know who you are! Cheers, pplater....
Thanks Geo...
Always good to hear from another "Independent" fan... Enjoy your weekend (when it arrives!). Cheers, pplater.
Lovely broody photo as well
It's a fantastic watch that still looks 'out of time' to me. It doesn't age. Great addition to the collection. Look forward to seeing it one day. A
Broody photo from a broody nun....
Thanks Andrew. Not bad for a watch first sold in 2002, hey? Between us we have a few very good reasons, now, to share a glass or six. BDLJ has promised to bring his stomach pump... Cheers, pplater.
I expect ...
BDLJ will be in less of a state to 'do the needful' than we will be. Remember though, quality over quantity. In watches and wine. A
Don't you mean..
..."quality in quantity"??? (Don't you pay any attention to him, BDLJ; make these guys moderators and before you know it they all get 'holier than thou' !) Cheers, pplater.
Agreed, Matt...
All credit due to Vianney Halter. He'll also be very grateful that you noticed! Cheers, pplater.
more...
I am sure many of us would like to know more about this. I have to say I don't know much about these independants. Matt
OK Matt, it's a deal...
...happy to oblige. Expect a note on the AHCI forum shortly. Cheers, pplater.
Is the texture of the case
meant to look like a pocket camera? Anyway, it looks great! Best Andreas
Yes, Andreas...
...according to Vianney's press kit, anyway. Do these look like design cues? - You could be on to something there! Cheers, pplater....
old cameras
Do you collec them? I spent some time over the NY at my grandmother's, taking photos of dozens of old cameras that my late (as in a long time ago) grandfather accumulated over his life. She hasn't managed to get rid of them, keeps on wanting me to take th...
how could i let this piece slip me by.....sigh.
good wrist shot. one always assume this watch looks better standing alone....something admired from a distance. that was reason for me not pulling trigger....stupidly best, looks great on your wrist. Horo
*looks sheepish*
Ooh I am so slow off the mark....My bad! Oh my. Oh my goodness.... Thank you pplater, it's stunning, and the photo does do it justice. It's utterly gorgeous.
And that strap already has a lot of character ...
... and matches the upholstery quite nicely. I'm sure you will continue to have a great week with that pair! Congratulations. Andrew
Match the strap to the car
I do like this strap a lot. I also have a black strap that I'll switch off for when I drive another one of our cars. Does anyone else match their straps to their cars?
That matching comment was said tongue in cheek.....
In light of a message I got, I thought I might want to make that clear!
Fast Cars and Sarpaneva watches seem to be appropriate together.
At least if you don't have a motorcycle, of course. This message has been edited by SethRL on 2011-03-18 11:13:25
As with chocolate, can't resist this one...
Today's shot looking out of the office window toward the performing arts center here in Seoul. I will try to eat some chocolate later! Hope that one and all enjoy the upcoming weekend! Best, Gary G...
Cropped version...
That first one was bugging me, so I tried a tighter crop... Now I feel better! Best, Gary G...
You're a perfectionist, Gary ...
... and it shows in the photos. Nice crop, and watch and image! Hope the travels are successful. With a Dato on your wrist, how could it be otherwise? Andrew
Thanks, Andrew
Doing business in another culture is always challenging, but a great learning experience. Good to have something comforting on the wrist for when things get a little gnarly... Best, Gary
Beautiful ...
to see it once more By the way there are some nice/crazy photo shops in Seoul ... which I visited on Saturdays. Always full of people/photographers and some good offers ... Maybe you already know them ;-) Oliver...
I have been by a few times, Oliver
Those shops are amazing! I'd go back over there, but I might come home with a Leica outfit and a lot less watch money... Best, Gary
Gary, if you would go for some ...
Leica equipment we would share one more addiction Oliver
great view from the office
and as I said before, the Dato in that metal is just lovely. HAGWE Andreas
Fun looking out the window
...especially with the Lange in the foreground! Thanks for the comment. Best, Gary
Lugs man indeed!
Well, you'd like Korea, then I agree that the lugs are an under-appreciated bit of the Dato -- they really help a lot in keeping what is a very thick watch planted well on the wrist and looking more or less in proportion. Best, Gary
Snake Territory?? Maybe I shouldn't have put on that reptile strap
But it seemed to fit the watch, and what danger could there be from a lizard? Until they multiply and hunt you down in the closet! Good thing I didn't get a python strap!...
Chocolate is next Friday for me blomman
I love dark chocolate ;-) HAGWE! -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2011-03-18 00:29:26
