Thanks, Andrew.
I poured 11 lattes this week! (Sorry, no Flat Whites - only 12 oz lattes.) One each for Leslie and me in the mornings, and one extra because I screwed one up! I discovered that for the first one of the morning I have to purge my steam tip for several seconds or the steam is too wet and my milk gets too thick. It's those little discoveries that lead to consistency and better pours, and my rosettas are definitely improving. I just ordered some beans recommended by fellow purist Montrachet, but I have not tried them yet. They are from a place called "Cafemam" in Oregon.
HAGWE!

Love pop corn! :)
This chronograph is really growing on me – like it a lot! Thank you, for going with the theme! HAGWE Blomman
I wish . . .
. . . there were some cashews at home! They're my favorite, even better than macadamias . . .
As in . . .
. . . buckets of popcorn at the theater, Jed? Haven't been to the movies in years, so it took me a while to make the connection. Funny story: one of the last times I was in a theater was on February 29th, 2004, and my date was more than a little upset whe...
One of these 3...
One has gone, by the way... Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2012-01-26 23:27:38...
I will do my best to complete it, as I still need a 7016 or 94010.
Each of them is a terrific pleasure to wear... If I had to keep only one, among these 3, this would be the Big Crown. But getting the 3 is an immense pleasure. Best, Nicolas
If only it had black dial…
Then I could have used black beans…! Thank you, my friend Best Blomman
I'm not the only one who is nuts about this watch!
I have to share it with HIM! HAGWE folks! Cheers, Daos This message has been edited by dxboon on 2012-01-26 16:31:58...
that's a cool picture Daos!
Made me smile immidiately when I saw it, nice feeling! Best, Matt
Awww! Thanks, Matt!
My photo is not as nice as your always beautiful pictures, but Stan (that's my dolly's name) is pretty cute! He sits on my desk at work. Cheers, Daos
What is Stan's back story?
I don't believe we have met before and he isn't a familiar character to me. Introductions please. Great photo in B&W. Andrew
Stan is actually...
...Stan & Vince. I don't have a picture of the other side of his head, but on the opposite side he is making a mean face (his "Vince" face). He is part of a series of figurines from the Rolito French Kiss Series made by Toy2R. Toy2R makes a lot of vin...
I am nuts
for not wearing sun block for the tennis.Just look at my dry and sunburnt skin. HAGWE everyone. Cheers,dreamer...
Nice, Dreamer.
Can you use the Daytona to measure the serves in MPH?! Best, CaliforniaJed
dreamer , got some photos for you
heres a photo with mrs darma and myself with the respective champion trophies for the aussie open. We were told that the only people that are physically allowed to touch the trophies are the actual champions all others must wear gloves. Also found an inte...
Thanks Darma
I did not see the trophies, lucky you. Calatrava ehh, but you are a Nautilus guy. You need a wrist shot. The watch on your Mrs. is too small in your picture. HAGWE. Cheers,dreamer
Hey mr dreamer, I never saw you at the tennis. Maybe because I wasn't in the corporate
Seats. Great matches though Julian
Missed you , but great close matches and IMHO
the grunts are not that bad. cheers,dreamer
Cool shot! Australia Tennis Open?

A little flaky skin...
is a small price to pay to attend Grand Slam tournament. Thanks for the photos for us who can only watch on TV.
Enjoy? Don't worry, I do!
Thanks Doc, They may seem like on odd couple, but the yellow gold dial of the F.P.Journe Octa Reserve and the buttery patina of the Rolex indices/hands/pearl match beautifully. One of my favourite wrist combos actually. Andrew
No…
I wish I could get away with double watches, but it would cause too many discussions at work… Enjoy your double! Best Blomman
Only at play ...
... and not at work either, unless I can hide them under cuffs. They already think I'm mad, so best not to confirm it. A
Wonderful " Crema " for both Jed
Great Picture of Horology art and latte or is it a flat white art . cheers,dreamer
Thanks Dreamer! That's latte crema, not flat white!
But I'm tempted to find some cups suitable for a flat white and give it a try. Best, QJ
Flat white?
Dreamer is right, that is looking suspiciously like a flat white. I'm on the next flight over! Great to mix our passions together. Nice rosette and picture. Andrew
Thanks, Andrew.

Speak for yourself blomman!
I love this new Lange 720.025, but the price (€270k) is nuts!! HAGWE, my friend -- Richard.,...
And I thought you said NUITS!
(Nicolas being the judge and all) so I went outside into the starry night and snapped this then I looked more carefully at what you said, and so I had to re-take the picture! Cazalea This message has been edited by cazalea on 2012-01-26 21:51:43...
That is an excellent example of how nuts we can be.
But be prudent in the California nght, you have fall on some strange creatures... Best, Nicolas
I guessed you wore a Sinn :-)
Hi cazalea, this night shot strongly reminded me of my old 657 - and, alas, there was relly a Sinn! Beautiful the night lume, isn´t it? Kind regards anaesdoc
Strong lume
LOL, no – nuts! Pistachios, another favorite! Thank you for the effort, Cazalea! Best Blomman
Great idea. This will be fun.
Let me first present a wristshot of the LLD. HAGWE Tyler...
Thanks Andrew.
The photo came out better than it suppose. I got lucky It does help when the LLD are photogenic to begin with. HAGWE Tyler
Peanuts? no Teanuts for me!...
I'm still in the spirit of Chinese New Year! Have a great WE all Matt...
Thanks Nico!
Quite a nice match indeed, I am happy with the outcome and the watch of course, maybe the most elegant vintage diver!? Matt
Agreed! Matt . . .
. . . has an eye for aesthetic harmony. This is one of his better pairings, and that's saying a lot . . .

Hi Dreamer, it is a Russian watch to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the revolution. I like the way the case looks and the price was cheap as chips ... another Purist payed it for me ... . Amazingly it runs within a minute after more than a week. Your...
yep thats right dreamer, he...
yep thats right dreamer, he asked me to get it as it was a 'uk only sale' then sort of forgot to pay me when he came over for new year no worries, thats what friends are for and the company of his family over new year was priceless for me. G...
Thanks Bim and G for information
You will enjoy and treasure this watch more. Cheers,dreamer
Not just nuts, certifiably mental
I have a fondness for small discreet watches. Today I'm wearing something a little less subtle....
another bronze watch on the forum and a very nice one at that
i love bronze and the way it changes over time. the Helson was one i was very interested in until i found my Zenton and if i found one at the right price i'd probably buy it and just have 2 bronze watches. very nice John Graham
It's bronze..
Thanks for the comments G99. The bronze alloy used on the latest batch (CuSn8) is I think the same as that used on the Pam 382. It looks a lot like rose gold when new but settles down quite nicely with a bit of advanced aging. It's absolutely massive thou...
That's a wonderful ageless watch
It wouldn't look out of place in the current JLC catalogue. And the hands, of course, give it a wonderful vintage look. Thanks for sharing it. Andrew
Superb, Patrice!
Thank you for the reminder – will have to take out mine for some air… Best Blomman
Stunning, this watch is growing in me...
...and will be only a disappointment to face reality :) ciao, chris
An eternity I didn't see a Pam 88, even in picture! Thanks for reminding
The good old time... Best, Nicolas
Watches look wonderful under the soft morning and evening light.
The best time to be out admiring them. Thanks for sharing that with us. Andrew
