Thank you so much for your kind comments on this watch dear Captain. Yes, it has travelled a lot from Switzerland to Norway and then to the USA where I found it and then to Argentina...

... an International Ranchero we can say of it! Lol!

It has accumulated a lot of miles and a good patina on its dial and some knocks and bruises on its case. But movement is pristine and happily ticking yet.

Glad to know you like it! Best, Abel

. . . my favorite is mushroom and olive. What's yours? 😋 ...  

I realized I haven't participated in our weekly WristScan for quite a while, so what better occasion than this tasty pizza thread right after my comeback to Italy? :-))

While I don't eat pizza too often, I occasionally do in Italy (including last night, a weekly tradition with my soccer friends), so here are a few random pics that I just found for you! Cheers. Etro & pizza perfectly matching Some delicious 'focaccia al f...

. . . let me guess: your idea of heaven is a restaurant with a brick pizza oven and Moretti on tap. 🍕🇮🇹🍺

A most delicious theme and opening shot dear Art. So nice to view your Speedy on your wrist... and a tasty pizza as background. As I said before...

Hello dear Fab! I´m happy to know Portofino is a favorite place of you too. I stayed in neighbour town of Santa Margherita di Ligure and fell in love with both places. Of course...

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 20th, 2023-13:02
... both places are full of nice restaurants to try other delicious dishes. I look forward to return some day soon! Would be a pleasure to meet you and to have your suggestions of places to visit there. Cheers my dear friend. Abel

Oh yes, Santa (a necessary stop by car on the way to Portofino) is also truly beautiful, another classic for people from Genova or Milano! :-) Cheers my friend.

It doesn't surprise me....

 
 By: sergio : May 20th, 2023-12:24
that you favour a nice margherita. Like me, you are an "essential" man. You like many things, but you...enjoy...the simple ones. Big hug

Isn't basil an ingredient in a margherita . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 20th, 2023-10:00
. . . to reflect the colors of the Italian flag, Sergio? Perhaps only here in America. I've ordered a margherita a few times at my favorite Italian restaurant in LA, La Vecchia, usually with a Mista salad and a Birra Menabrea. Mangia mangia!

In Italy, basil is not...

my favourite Italian restaurant was La Toscana in Brentwood. Simply scrumptious food

La Toscana is next door to my previous dentist's practice . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 21st, 2023-19:32
. . . and I've been there once, perhaps a dozen years ago. If you're ever back in LA, we'll hit up both! Art

Panerai has to be a perfect choice …

Hello Art and friends ! I always enjoy a good pizza and blue cheese, pear and walnuts is a fantastic combo. Making your own pizza from scratch is fun and sourdough makes an incredible pizza base with excellent texture and flavour. Semolina is an important...  

You're a pizza connoisseur, Cap, no doubt about it! . . .

 
 By: Dr No : May 20th, 2023-19:31
. . . the mushroom olive pie in my post was also homemade, or more precisely, made in my home . . . just not by me. 👩‍👦

Thanks Art …

Splendid ! …

Your Ranchero looks very good with that pizza.

Thank you Captain!! Pizza was very good. The Ranchero is a watch I´ve been hunting for a long time and a lucky find a few months ago. Not a perfect example but very pleasant and original.

 
 By: Subexplorer : May 21st, 2023-20:26
I´m enjoying it so much on my wrist. Originally shipped to Norway in 1958. Not bad for a 60 plus years watch! Best, Abel

Interesting to hear about the history of your watch …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : May 21st, 2023-21:11
It’s certainly traveled during it’s life. I love the patina on this one.
