That's a fuyu (winter) persimmon, j . . .
. . . from Uncle Jake's orchards. At one time he had four acres planted, and the view of the field when the branches were loaded with orange fruit was a surreal sight.
As it turns out, he cut down at least a third of the acreage last year, so the view from the hilltop isn't nearly as encompassing as it was.

Friday December 7
Let's have flying start of the weekend! IWC Mk 11 HAGWE Blomman ...
Thanks Sanro!
and its movement, "Simply" Stunning in my opinion... it still runs with +_5s/day difference since I bought it a few years back! Enjoy some of pix of mine and HAGWE..! Mech. ...
Stunning Watch
Whichever way u look at it ! There is one feature which I appreciate very much on this watch, the ability to turn the date backwards ! Is that a fume dial ? This is still on my wishlist .......... list that grows longer everything I look at it ! Santa ......
Thanks, it's not a fume dial of the Palladium,
mine is the Platinum, I believe it's the 1st generation perpetual with the grayish dial. Mech.
Beautiful Mech....my favorite perpetual
The Moser Perpetual is definitely my favorite perpetual of all.....so clean and easy to read. thanks for sharing its beauty
It truly is the purists perpetual
The centre month pointer that is truly easy and intuitive to read. The leap year I indicator on the rear. The oversized flash date. Perfect. Thanks for showing us again. Andrew
Well, last weekend I flew...
...from here... To see this man... ...from which I collected... THIS! I promise a full article and better photos for the AHCI forum tomorrow or Sunday, the latest. HAGWE all! ...
All that miles ...
Now that is PASSION ..... and SPIRIT of Purists ! Huge Congrats and keep warm !
It has the Spirit DNA...
...and certainly the PASSION, but it is not quite a Spirit... I will explain the differences soon. For a start, there are only 20 of these ;) Thanks Flamenco!
What??? He got some chocolates and he didn't send them to me??? Tssss! ;)
Cool photo, Juan. Best, Nicolas
Great watch...
That is a great looking watch. Love the Speake-Marin's look. Unfortunately I have never had the chance to try one on personally. But I think that if I did I would probably not want to take it off. Regards, J.
Thanks Blomman!
Tomorrow I must make time and show the full "story" on the AHCI forum :)
Fly? Sure, but "I want to take you higher" ...
Close to the Moon, beating at 36000 bph: A green shot: Why not in B&W? A great weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Nice Chrono!!
I used to have a Zenith Chrono a few years back and kinda miss it now.. Can't go wrong with the El Primero... Nilo, congrats on a great watch, maybe I will have to replace mine soon. Regards, J.
Thanks ...
But be advised that the El Primero is addictive. You always want one more. By far, the best "bang for the buck". Cheers, Nilo
Interesting to see...
I never noticed the bezel/case had several "levels" on this El P. Gives it a very exclusive look - I like it! As always, beautiful photos, Nilo! :) Best Blomman
That was the original intention ...
Blomman, The design tries to give this look, according to the Zenith book. Thank you and congratulations for your watch and pic. Cheers, Nilo
Cruising at elevation of 380 feet...
...which is ground level, Dublin, CA USA :-) ...
The strap looks awesome!
One of your creations, Drew? And of course the Pola looks awesome too! But that goes without saying... ;) Best Blomman
As suggested by Dr. No
my re-entry pardon the low light shot using phone cam (as excuse of bad skill of photograph) ...
My GMT would have fit nicely with the "flying" theme
Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of wearing it and monitoring it, it was running a little fast so I sent it back in to have it regulated. Missing it dearly. But fortunately, while the GMT is at the doctor, this also gives my wrist a chance to put on my other ...
Ah, the Master HT!
The one that got away from me... Yours makes me remember happy times! :) Best Blomman
Please buckle your seat belt, fold the tray infront of you...
and put your seat to a upright posission. Yes, it works great! :) Best Blomman
Hmmm! Another watch which is in my list. I recently saw a tropical dial
In a no date version, which made me feel very ... Weak. ;) Best, Nicolas
Serpico Y Lano...?
What does this mean? A company name? Looks great - very classic! :) Best Blomman
Conor, Conor, Conor!!!
I am looking for a nice one, exactly like yours! Another coincidence, my friend! Best, Nicolas
Travelling ...
This IWC Mark XV pilots watch is my usual travelling companion. Here we are together in Penang, Malaysia. ...
Cool watch and nice island.
Penang is a great place for vacations. I miss Malaysia and the Malay food, of course. About the Mark XV, I miss mine. Great size, great looks. Cheers, Nilo
The bracelet is superbly supple ...
... and comfortable. One of the nicest I have, and not improved on with the Mark XVI and XVII, unfortunately, so I will me sticking with this 38mm beauty. Always reliable and comfortable. More posts on Malay food and travel to follow. When I get time! And...
Yes, precisely. Great theme ...
... as these pilots watches conjure up adventure, ruggedness, legibility, travel. Hope you are well. Andrew
Your picture had..
opposite effect on me...it grounded me :) Cheers mate HAGWE Damjan
Was it anti-magnetic or flying
that is the theme - thanks for starting it this week Blomman.
Next time you post such a watch porn, please warn us!
I nearly had a heart attack. :) Hey, by the way, I didn't know you had this Precista! You know how much I love these dials! Best, Nicolas
Well we have to keep you healthy Nico
no sudden shocks - under doctors orders. The Precista was one of the last makers of these watches, after CWC and produced if I remeber correctly for only one or two years. Be careful you may end up having to collect the entire set.
Well it depends how you're counting
Hamilton, sterile Hamilton, CWC, Lemania, Precista, Newmark. Then if you are going by the NATO designation you would need the earlier one button Lemania's as well. Of course the mythical Breitling version would be a must, LOL. Pull one little thread and i...
GMT and Flight the best combination
The watch is looking very sharp and the plane is almost age appropriate... HAGWE Bill
No problem
The helicopter is retired and is mounted on a tripod. The helicopter served for many years in Sweden but has now been replaced with a more modern helicopter. /Anders
World Wide Time Control...
My fits the occassion...and also fits nicely on my wrist. All the best, J. ...
Nice one, Bim!
You would not like Sweden now - a lot of snow... :( Best, my friend Blomman
Hi Blommie-boy !!!
:-) I do miss Sweden, but i also miss England ... and France :-) ... next month i have to go to Germany near the Danish border ... you don't happen to pass by my friend :-) ... ?? As per coincidence we have a visitor from Sweden coming over tomorrow, i ca...

Sorry, no wrist in the shot. But here's the back for those who might be wondering ... ...
