Around 2000 I bought my first serious watch, my little GP
By: brauner : July 3rd, 2020-06:35
Later I gave it to my wife. Then after some years I asked her to give me the GP back what she did. I found a Cartier Tank Americaine which was in a disastrous condition. Gave it Cartier and asked them to do what they can and they could. I gave it to my wi...
Great theme dear Count ...

and the sentiment is something that I’m sure that many of us will have considered at some time. I will post later. Best regards The Captain
Great theme.

I gave away a Seiko sportura, and never regret. It was a relief . Never in my heart. An ex girlfriend throw my Armani watch away. That was hard. It was not an advanced watch, but it was well designed.

Count De Monet, you write like a philosopher. 🖋🧠. You solved my love for Baume and Mercier. Time is a phenomenon. Is it matter? Is it touchable? Is it an energy? Invisible bookmarks, and it have many corners to look at and interpret.
Story

Maybe. The story is, she like my Armani much, so she ask if she could wear my watch. Think about me. Also she like famous fashion brands. I said, ok, you can wear my Armani. A funny secret is, it has a better caliber than a Seiko . It is better!
She is a good woman
By: Weems@8 : July 3rd, 2020-14:13
I love her. It’s over, no hard feelings. It where circumstances which drive us apart. Distance between living places, giving up a job i do not want, not ready to leave my beloved village where i am born. She want to live by me in the mountains. So to stop...

Your lovely 16750 must have given a gtreat amount of pleasure to your father in law and he was blessed with such a good son in law. This GMT is so close for your heart and not easy to pass on. Thank you for the insight into the story behind this GMT. GMTs...

Special watches have the ability to remind us each time we put it in our wrists. It’s certainly a beautiful patina on your GMT 16750. Just one point, you can’t go to to the Great Collectors GTG in the sky without a moderator being present so your just goi...
Wow my friend - i Love your story.

A watch can bring some much connection to the previous owner and especially with the owner is someone so close, very special indeed! wear it in the best of health Abel !
This is the closest I have

It's not this exact watch, but bear with me for a moment. Early in this hobby, in 2001 to be precise, I bought a Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 1. It was quite a bold choice at the time, as virtually no one knew about the brand, and wearing a 44mm watch was m...
First loves in collecting stay
By: COUNT DE MONET : July 4th, 2020-00:21
If not on your wrist then in one's heart. A gifted watch is the perfect material bond between brothers and that bond gets stronger the more watches your brother is adding to his collection, as the bugg to collect came from you. That VC is superb!
Caring means sharing

I am sure your Moser and the others are partially hers, too. But to say fully hers can be hard, yes!
The watches that come from my heart ...

Hello dear Count and friends. This is a subject that in the past I have given much thought about for various reasons that I won’t burden you with at the present time. I have enjoyed giving watches to my loved one and watching the pleasure that they give. ...

That time only Patek is all you need, dear Captain.
By: COUNT DE MONET : July 4th, 2020-05:23
That is a noble gesture from you, to give your watches to charity. Very noble. Would you let us know about the piece that will go to the museum? Is there a connection to David Bowie with this Patek?
Thank you dear Count ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 4th, 2020-05:46
Some glaze over at the mention of charity, but money should give us the ability to consider and help others less fortunate. David had a similar Patek, so I guess we can all be heroes... just for one day ;-))
He certainly had style...

And lived life to the full, something we should all remember to do.
An exquisite taste

Lovely vintage Vacheron, all in yellow gold👌. Was it hard for you to let it go?
Quiet weekend here, Abel . . .

I am sure the new owners are enjoying them. You know I have a weakness for vintage Omegas ! Best regards
Beautiful vintage Omega collection...

One I dare to buy with encouragement from my better half, we got a pair. During the craze of bigger and bigger trend, some point of time feel want to trade it away, but so much memories and success/challenges it has accompany me sailing thru, so it is a k...

A Datejust in oroginal size looks still best. Lovely two tone!
That’s good to hear ...

Excellent choice for a WS theme, dera Count

Over the years, I have bought a few watches for my wife but the watch that I wanted to share this week is this Swatch from Nov 2018 designed by the British artist Damien Hirst, Mirror Spot Mickey. I liked the design immediately so I went down to the Bouti...
A happiness watch for a happy family!
By: COUNT DE MONET : July 5th, 2020-03:44
Amazing that a single watch style can speak to the whole family. Swatch was one of the most genius ideas of the watch Industry. Very cool!
many thanks my friend!
