The April 17-19 WristScan contest opens NOW! :-)
Dear Friends, this weekend's WristScan, " Our favorite recent pictures: moments that we look forward to living again, " is officially open! As announced yesterday, any watch-related pics taken during the past 12 months, that you personally find special or...
Great start to WristScan Fab !...
Happy times that your sharing with us, good restaurants and good company, I’m sure that we all long to get back to enjoying these pleasures in life 🥂
Want to travel again
to Papua New Guinea, here with Breitling in the Solomon Sea. Met Moses with his family on the water next to Tufi. ...
Absolutely fascinating.
Next time - hopefully soon - will go to Rabaul and the near volcano.
Stay safe too wantok (pigeon english for friend)
Comes from "one talk" which is "same language". Someone who talks the same language is no enemy. They have 845 different languages there.
My moment I want to re-live
If there is one moment of the past 12 months it is one very recent. It occurred in the middle of lockdown and would like to re-live it but then without lockdown On 23 March my first granddaughter was born and our daughter in law her self celebrated her bi...
Don’t like
And the one thing, the only one thing I don’t like of this forum is that the pictures don’t upload in the order I want to and that the two best pictures simply didn’t upload at all. ...
One day
And one day, when she has your daughters age, I’ll teach her everything g about wat he’s and photography
Great to here that all went positive so far.
A very nice choice! Is It a 36 mm Date Just?
Million thanks my dear friend
Your warm words mean a lot to us. No it’s not 36 but I belief 31 or 32 mm
what a great story, and so glad all your family members are OK
The rolex looks great too, but the sleeping baby wins the best photo prize in my book!
Very much appreciated my friend
And it’s such a grateful feeling if you’re in a position to buy something for your daughter in law with the message to wear it, enjoy it and hold on to it until that day she sees fit to pass it on to her daughter. But like the old Patek commercial but the...
Thanks
The only thing still missing is that I can5 fly home so haven’t seen the baby yet. Since back home is The Netherlands, she will probably ride a bicycle by the time I get to see her for first time
A amazing story with a happy end .
I hope all this .... is over soon and you can enjoy your family to the max without restrictions 🙏🏻
She is gorgeous
not All newborns are beautiful but she certainly is. I can see her grand mother has a similar opinion 😁
Thank you
From the bottom of my heart for such kind words. Yeah you’re right, that look on my wife’s face says more than a thousand words
Thanks Jurry, glad for the great outcome to this incredible story! I had seen the pictures of this special gift before..but wasn’t aware of the rest of the story that makes it even more special!
Hope you can soon be reunited with the rest of your family!! Cheers😀
Million thanks
I thought about it long and hard and decided to share it with my friends at this forum
Dear Jurry: This is a most amazing story! We knew about your wonderful present given to your daughter in law but we didn´t know all the details about the birth of your grand daughter.
I imagine that these had been very complex moments to live: the mix of happiness of receiving a new born with the concern for the positive covid tests, and the impossibility of meeting your grandchild immediately. The radiant face of your wife as the gran...
Thank you sooo much my dear friend
Your warm words, as always express exactly my feelings. It is because of these special friendships I’ve built on this forum, that I decided to do just and share the full story. The support from all of you is heartwarming.
My big pleasure dear Jurry. Yes, I share same feelings as you about this forum and the people who are part of it. And we are thankful to have your story shared here.
I wish you´ll be able to reunite with your wife and grand daughter soon. Stay safe and healthy my friend! Abel
Thank you very much.
Yeah it’s been quit stressful I might say. Hopefully the travel ban will be lifted in couple of weeks so I can fly home and see our grand child as well
what a story, Dear Jurry! I sincerely wish you can all be united in your family soon!
I can imagine dramatic and conflicting emotions of both joy and happiness, worrying and longing. I’m really happy to hear the health issues have smoothed out so it more a question of time before you can meet your first grand child. Yes, I really, really w...
Million thanks
Your support means more to me than you can imagine, tak tuzend tak When I was searching for the most appropriate watch I already quickly decided that Rolex would be the perfect brand. Our daughter in law wasn’t into watches when she became part of the fam...
the pleasure is mine Jurry
I gifted my wife a watch when we married 7 years ago. I had something like a Cartier or a reverso in mind, but I let it for her to choose. I took her to my AD in Hamburg who is a fantastic guy and watch adviser and he proposed a Datejust a little similaer...
That’s Rolex!!!
To many the name may be bit dodgy or not upper class enough. But I’ve never ever met someone who tried on a datejust and didn’t like it. And that’s regardless of age and gender. Happy to read that your wife is still happy with it ?and apparently with you ...
Well, we have virtual tours....
And people trying to teach soccer lessons from a computer. Businesses never fail of thinking of ways to make $$$ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello dear Ted! great shots from your past travels. And superb VC of course! Missing the possibility of traveling is a feeling shared by several friend here (including me)...
... Probably because travels (specially to far places from our own home town) is a reflex of our personal freedom which is presently compromised by the Covid problem. I wish this will end soon and we will be able to resume our trips Over Seas! Stay safe a...
Hello Sire!
Yes, COVID has put some serious brakes on all of our travels huh? Well, here I am, hoping too, that we should venture out like migrating birds in short time.
At times like this Sir,
JLC is a great choice for elegance but allowing a bit of understated luxury. Right now. Not sure I would be caught in public with a full gold Rolex, but at the same time, my wrist aches for mechanical wonders.
I was expecting this blast of beautiful awesome watches my dear friend Nicolas!! And shared here in your usual fantastic photography which allows us to enjoy them in all ...
... their glory. I wish you will be able to fully enjoy them with full freedom and safety as in old times very soon my friend. In the meantime stay safe and with good health my dear friend! Un abrazo desde las Pampas del Sur mi buen amigo! Abel
Muchas gracias amigo Nicolas!! Yo también! ...
... ojalá todo vuelva a la normalidad muy pronto!! Cuidate mucho! Abrazo! Abel
Some great shots, Nico!
The 5070 works quite well in the Nico of Arabia setting, too 👌🏻👍🏻
My trip to Dubai, brought me a great souvenir!
And what a fun country this is for a stop over. Have a great weekend gents. GEO ...
