WS Friday 20th is Open now! Theme: “Watches and small (or big) pleasures.
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-13:01
Hello Friends! We know that getting a new watch to our collection is a big big pleasure but there are many other small (or big) pleasures we can enjoy as well: taste a good whiskey, tea or coffe or just our favorite soft drink. We can also indulge tasting...
True!

OK, I'll play
By: Boris : August 20th, 2021-15:34
One of my guilty pleasures is watch straps. I probably acquired it early when I got into this hobby, as one of my first good watches was a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM1). And one of the great joys of owning a Panerai is changing straps all the time. I must...
Thanks a lot fir your entry Boris! Playing with different straps…
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-15:44
… is very enjoyable indeed. And Paneristi have an special fondness for this. Though of course it can be played with almost any watch with identical pleasure. I am always amazed with how much we can change the character or mood of a watch with just a quick...
Thanks for the kind words
By: Boris : August 20th, 2021-15:49
As for straps, I have come to the conclusion that they make for 50% of the looks of a watch. Even an average watch can look good with a great strap.
My big pleasure Boris! Absolutely agree with your thoughts…
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-17:53
… about the importance of choosing the right strap for our personal taste in our watches. It has happened to me that a straps change has fueled my desire to wear a watch more often after finding the one which I liked best. Cheers! Abel
Passion for watch strap, humm…

I think I can relate to that one! 👍👍👍 Thanks a pretty cool orange strap combo!
Hi Boris …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 20th, 2021-21:16
The orange tropic strap on your Speedmaster is a cool choice. I love that first shot ! Have a great weekend.
Wow what a start dear Abel!
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 20th, 2021-17:14
That PAM is so sweet! Might be the next and last one I had to my 47mm collections! Looks so clean without the crown
Thanks a lot dear Yacomino. It is true that the …
By: Subexplorer : August 20th, 2021-17:57
Pam 587 MM is a sweet cool watch. I have an special fondness for this Panerai. And an MM inscription on the dial always makes a Panerai more special in my point of view. Hope you find yours soon. It will make a great addition to your fine collection my fr...
Thank you …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 22nd, 2021-14:23
That looks great 👍
Reading National Geographic
By: Cookies : August 20th, 2021-18:29
My favourite past time since young. Maybe that’s when I got hooked onto watches instead of cars. So here is my Rolex. I’ve got 2 Rolex watches to satisfy my childhood dream of reading Rolex ads. Sadly my Daytona is stuck overseas. Interestingly I was list...
Creative shot …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 20th, 2021-21:22
and good to hear your thoughts on The podcast with Jean Claude Biver.
Yes the lockdown is quite bad
By: Cookies : August 21st, 2021-04:06
For the mind. I was listening to the podcast while walking the dogs in the forest behind my house, for an hour. Time just flew by and it was filled with inspiration for a better tomorrow.
Have a great week too!!
By: Cookies : August 21st, 2021-04:07
Whenever I see those ads, my mind is filled with dreams. I don’t look at the watch much, rather I imagine myself like Snoopy imagining himself as the Red Baron
I love National Geographic too.
By: Ruffian : August 21st, 2021-01:39
Growing up, I remember looking forward to the gorgeous photos. The writing wasn't bad too! Did you hear the one about the guy who said he read National Geographic for the same reason he read Playboy? Because he liked to look at pictures of places he'd nev...
That’s right
By: Cookies : August 21st, 2021-04:08
Dreams fuel the tomorrow. Without dreams, life can become meaningless.
Funny that…

When I was a kid I was dreaming of a NG subscription but it was geographically not possible then 🤷🏻♂️ Loved the NG shot in London. And still massively enjoy the output they produce. But somehow never subscribed, even when it became easy 🤷🏻♂️ Great shot ...
Great to hear you like Nat Geo too
By: Cookies : August 22nd, 2021-17:14
I subscribed to Disney+ and ended up watching the Nat Geo content on it more. Lots of great shows to pass the time in this lonesome lockdown. I try to live an adventurous life as much as time allows, usually with a weekend swim in the sea (3km or so) or s...
Wow!!
By: Cookies : August 22nd, 2021-18:48
I wish I had a scuba tank compressor too. That is next level! You’ve planted adventurous ideas in my mind now. The world is the oyster indeed.

This is a Chinese made watch and the brand is "Shanghai" with reference number 6103. I received it as a gift and after some research I found that the complication is called “carrousel”. The escapement is located on the dial-side. The entire dial rotat...
