Hello friends! I will have the big pleasure of hosting this week end. I hope that in spite the troublesome year we are having making a very different year to keep old family traditions, we will manage to celebrate next Christmas and the arrival of New Yea...
... you like my selection. Thank you so much for your warm and kind greetings and I send my best wishes and regards for you and your family as well. Be it with much joy and Good Health my dear friend! Abel
Like you, I tend to wear the same watch for the special holidays: my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean first generation 42mm It is special to me for several reasons: It was with me at my wedding, it was with me when my dear son Bruno was born, and I hope I wil...
... whichever the religion or beliefs we profess we should take that in account. Regarding watches we are privileged in having several enough to be a dilemma which one to choose. A delightful dilemma I feel. You present here two great choices. The first s...
I will have to agree with you in everything, perhaps I missed wishing well to all our Purists friends regardless of beliefs and religion. It is very good that you mentioned it. Didn't you have an orange Planet Ocean if I remember well? I hope you can get ...
Yes, I still own the Orange PO. But the model you own has a different character as the indexes are not orange. A very "J. Bond" look. I guess I will get a good example sooner or later as as you well say they were very popular and many can be found in seco...
No doubt about it 1) this one, as it reflects in the most interesting way. Notice the lights reflecting on the dial vs the lights reflecting on the crystal. So much fun. 2) many on the horizon, but unlikely that with the current circumstances any will arr...
As you well say Health is what really matters... a our biggest Treasure! Hope your expectations will arrive in time for the celebration but in any case they will arrive sooner or later. Have a beautiful and safe Holidays Season! Cheers! Abel
You have set the scene well, giving us all a cozy feeling. I imagine we are all waiting for fun things to arrive, all the better to have things to look forward to.
... for fun things to arrive and better times next year. It is good to have things to look forward to, specially for a safe New Year with much Good Health for Humankind. Have a nice Xmas Season and a great New Year 2021! Cheers! Abel
I´m specially fond of Cali dials and this is a very different offering to the other Cali Pams I own. Have a nice weekend and I look forward to know about your December watches and expectations for the Xmas tree if any. Best cordial regards, Abel
... very reliable and with the added comfort of allowing the independent action of the hour hand which is very nice feature to have. Most of my Panerai are manual winding and the P4000 (introduced in 2014) is an automatic micro rotor movement which offers...
Hello dear Abel and friends ! The big dilemma of choosing an special watch to wear on the nights of December 24th and 31st ,could change at the last minute but as things stand these are a few of the options. Happy Christmas to everyone. Best wishes The Ca...
This is a most charming model and I feel for the first time in my life as watch lover that I´m so excited for the back of a watch as much as for its front! I was told that my watch will arrive in about two months down here so I need to be very patient. I ...
With best wishes to you and to Mrs Subexplorer and your family. We are looking forward to seeing you in person and sharing some more good times with you in 2021 🥂 Best regards The Captain
... because it is impossible to choose only one of them. You share them in all their glory in your superb photographs. As per your first time Virgin Year, this has been a complete madly different year my dear friend. I wish next 2021 will bring much Healt...
This very watch has it all.. Great concept.. JLC’s sublime making it real. One of the watches I attach very much to you ! - Lucky me, that once I had been able to wear it & also listen to it for almost half a day, some years ago, thanks to your kindness.....
I can well understand both of them provokes a smile whenever you wear them. I wish you and your beloved ones a peaceful Christmas Season and end of the year and hope our World will have a better and safer year 2021. Hagwe! Abel
Good for you!! I wish you´ll enjoy that wonderful timepiece so much. By the other hand I can imagine that viewing that Seiko bag under your Xmas tree requires a big effort to wait till ends of next week to open it and enjoy its content. I hope you´ll shar...
I think its a great and appropriate time of the year to wear such a timepiece 😉. Looking forward to see that Seiko on the wrist . I will show it here when i get the chance .wish you also a great Xmas and Holiday time .

I feel fortunate this year. 1- for your first question it will be a rotation between these three 2- for the second question I actually think one of the above watch also qualify for number 2 as it was received yesterday, but I may have one last one coming ...
... to wear during the celebration of next Christmas and New Year Season. You are also lucky to receive the visit of Santa in advance with such a beautiful present in his bag! You will need to rotate them during days and nights in order to fully enjoy all...
.. as I wear same Rolex Date every year, every night of 24th and 31st, I can also wear any other watches I wish during days 24th, 25th, 31st and 1st of January. That makes for a total of 5 watches Lol!! That´s a nice kind of dilemma I feel!! Hagwe my frie...

not appreciating all of them. The collection went down to 1 watch in Jan 2020 to now 8 watch in Dec 2020. Hoping I will not regret any of them (clearly not the 3 I posted here)...but i went so quickly these past month that I may have 1 or 2 that are still...
Big congrats on your new additions to your collection! The Ocean Graph is a beautiful classic diver with a charming vintage look. The straps color and material is very appropriate for the character of this watch. Your anOrdain model 1 watch is very beauti...
... for Christmas Eve, the Snowflake will get some tree time... And, for Christmas Day, the green dial of the GO will feel right at home... As for New Year's Eve -- time for toasting with a champagne dial... Here's wishing everyone all the best for the ho...
... I like so much the design combining that awesome green round face against the square case. And the Champagne dial GP very classy and classic most appropriate for your toast celebrating the arrival of New Year 2021. Well played my friend! Have a nice a...
I gonna wear my beauty Pam1080 with a matching strap. And that’s the watch which is on my wishlist ... not sure if Santa will bring it to me too Christmas though🤪... ...
Now, if you have behaved well along all this year and you have sent Santa your letter then you have great chances to get that awesome Bronzo to complete your Panerai collection! Let´s look under your tree next Xmas!! I hope Santa will bring it to you my f...
Excellent photos of your Panerai. The green dial Bronzo looks very cool. I hope that you have a great Christmas and a successful 2021. Kind regards The Captain
But I'm likely to be wearing the usual suspects Yes I know you're probably bored of the urushi by now! But I'm not 😀 So that's a racing certainty As for the other one perm any one from And yes as sad as it sounds I'm looking forward to getting on a train ...
... good wishes. I wish you the same for you and your beloved ones. Merry Christmas and a great New Year with much Peace and Good Health!🙏🙏 cheers ! Abel
. . . the Dornblüth . . . . . . in April, and the patina-from-heaven vintage Seamaster . . . . . . in September. And until last week, I thought that would be it until 2021. Then I saw this . . . [seller's photo] . . . on eBay. A perfect ca '44 Ω ref 2390 ...
I´m so sure there is a Santa Claus as much as that sometimes stars align for us. This is a good example which confirms my beliefs! Some wonderful catches this year dear Art. I wish you´ll have a peaceful Xmas and a good New Year 2021 with much good health...
Just collected this today which will answer your 2 questions my friend 😁 The boutique still owe me anoother piece which most likely will be in before the new year but I am happy to have the speedy with me for X'mas! Wishing you and family a peaceful holid...
I have wanted to add a speedy for years but never able to pin down on one (whether vintage or modern) with the CK2998 coming in the closest. Must confess I am quite confused by the many iterations, details, and amount of information available on the model...
Another great job from Omega this year this new Ed White together with the new Snoopy both became coveted pieces for Speedmaster fans and with good reasons. I wish your Omega boutique will bring the second piece you are waiting very soon. Thank you for yo...
Really was not expecting to receive the Ed White in 2020 but Santa sprung a surprise..... ...And I wish Santa will be in time with the goodies for you and Mrs Subexplorer this X'mas! Have a safe and enjoyable X'mas!
I hope Santa will arrive in time with his presents down here though I know that horological goods (and Santa) have a long trip down to South America and they usually arrive a bit late. Thank you so much for your good wishes and enjoy your EW so much! Merr...
Beautiful shot of your watches, especially the golden brilliance of your Rolex with a Christmas background! Wonderful! Even though this year is very different for so many of us, I can feel the festive season in the air. I will wear my Tudor Black Bay Harr...
Both the BB Harrods Special Edition and the new Ed White 321 model are wonderful watches to have on the wrist for these festivities. Agree with you that this year it will be a very different celebration for most of us after such a troublesome year but let...
it’s this time of the year, when, many of us follow a certain tradtion which one to choose, whereas others have to pick from a full hand, in the first place. - For Humble Me, I decided on 4 watches which will get the nod, also this year, following a patte...
... I´m impressed by the Memovox blue dial Boutique Edition which regret to say I had no chance yet to view in the metal but your shots show it is very impressive indeed. Thank you for sharing these four beauties which will accompany you and I wish you´ll...

... patient as the few watches which will be allocated to our Boutique will arrive in about two months I was told. I think that Omega has done a great job with this third celebration of Snoopy and no doubt the moving caseback complication is the great foc...
I will post a more in-depth appraisal with my options on the various aspects of the watch for the pleasure of our community. Thank you for your kind message about the watch.
I think we all deserve a break to close off 2020 Some fancy lugs on the oldest piece from my collection, a gift from an old man who bought it to celebrate the end of WWII. If someone could confirm this piece stems from c.1945, it would be appreciated. I a...
Very interesting to know the story behind this watch, a timepiece which was bought as a celebration of end of WWII presented to you by his original owner! A charming vintage watch which is very special indeed. I can imagine you are working hard this week ...
