I’ll play...

Thanks.
By: W72 : July 14th, 2018-04:17
Have it for some time and in need of a service. /W72
Lovely Constellation!
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-02:18
Glad they introduced the Globemaster, with some of the Constellation design elements of the golden era
Instant . . .
By: Dr No : July 13th, 2018-06:44
. . . classic! And I mean that literally ;-) . . .

By: Bounce781 : July 13th, 2018-13:56
Thank you and I agree
Hmmm. While knowing next to nothing . . .
By: Dr No : July 13th, 2018-00:10
. . . about vintage UN, that example doesn't look authentic to my eyes. Perhaps there's a UN collector here who can weigh in authoritatively. But it seems like a second-rate refinished dial. And a chrono graph , to boot. Very few chronographs perform doub...
No, no, no!

You don't have to put a watch on your wrist. There are 3 categories of judging. I was just asking because I thought may be you needed some medicated cream for your leathery skin condition.
WS is a weekly thread...
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-02:29
Where Puristspro members are encouraged to post watch pictures following a specific theme, as defined by the host of the week. The pictures are then judged in three categories - wristshot, static and watch of the week. That’s it, really - just a fun commu...
Still on my wrist.
By: fernando : July 12th, 2018-19:22
Luckily it's a chronometer. Cheers Fernando ...

If I can play
By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : July 12th, 2018-23:34
I play with these: Yours, Adam ...
Nice photos.
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2018-06:06
A very tasty watch.
That’s simply a great collection, Adam!
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-02:32
Especially like the feature that the minute hand jumps when the watch is being set, so as to ensure absolute accurate placement of it. Great GOs!
I'm sure père Kev . . .
By: Dr No : July 13th, 2018-13:03
. . . had some influence shaping Junior's taste in watches. Dad's Longines . . . . . . certainly shaped mine. ;-) PS - congrats on breaking the 1K milestone! [Note to judges: this is not a chronometer, so please don't consider it while deliberating.] ...
Ok.. Here my few chips to play this week.. ;))

You knew . . .
By: Dr No : July 14th, 2018-11:00
. . . this was coming. And, I would be remiss to not take advantage of this opportunity in sharing a photo taken four years ago . . . . . . when our esteemed colleague Andrew D was in town. If I recall correctly, Pink Floyd was his favorite band. ...
Lovely Song:-)
By: RG1 : July 14th, 2018-21:47
and superb shot of great watch with famous pig.... Thanks for sharing
2 more chronometers

New and old chronometers! On the left wrist today my ref: 116000 back from full service under guarantee after only 7 months of ownership from new and on my right wrist, I am exercising my Constellation on its alligator strap, resting its 1965 original BOR...
Much appreciated, Clive . . .
By: Dr No : July 14th, 2018-12:49
. . . as an American who had (or is that has ) the benefit of a British primary school education, the bonds are deep, even if they're not always evident. And thanks for joining in today - that crosshair Connie is my kinda watch. Art
Let me ask you...
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2018-06:10
which do you like better? I know which one I favor.
Mmmm
By: nomadgiles : July 13th, 2018-06:37
difficult to choose, my friend. UN gets more wrist time, for sure. The GP running slow & needs a service, but prefer it on the steel bracelet. I think if it came down to selling one, I'd keep the UN - KM can live in hope ;-) Which one would you prefer? Ch...
The one heading to Austria, perhaps.
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2018-06:43
If that is a decision that is made, don't be surprised to read about a mail heist somewhere between the Firth of Forth and the Danube.
If it does happen.....
By: nomadgiles : July 13th, 2018-07:53
.....it'll be delivered in a vintage Mini with Union Jack painted on the roof (plus a couple of decoys) ;-)
Austin Powers?
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2018-12:01
Or Mark Wahlberg?
🤣
By: nomadgiles : July 13th, 2018-15:19
I best get Jason Statham on the job then 😉
Thanks HS111!
By: nomadgiles : July 14th, 2018-02:10
And have a great weekend too! Best, Giles.
Thanks Kristjan! 🙂
By: nomadgiles : July 14th, 2018-12:13
Hope the holidays are going well! Best, Giles.
Generally yes...
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-22:39
As always with small children relaxing moments are few and far between but overall all is good Weird to be in a country where Pepsi is omnipresent and Coke is hard to find - with my Coca Cola consumption this is a bit of a challenge
You’ve gone on the ‘Pepsi Challenge’ 😉
By: nomadgiles : July 15th, 2018-00:54
Probably heresy - could never taste the difference. When my boys where 1 & 3 we went to Devon in our VW campervan (a hangover from kid free festivals / band days) - needless to say we came home a week early for a rest - I can imagine Pepsi is the leas...
Hadn't seen that Bucherer before.
By: TheMadDruid : July 13th, 2018-06:45
It's a brand that is only now making more of an appearance here in the States. Very nice; and nice selection.
Cool trio!
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-02:40
How far back did Bucherer start making their own watches?
Reminding me...
By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-22:50
Kari Voutilainen also did some Peseaux 260 pieces, right?
Allow me to spoil the party !
By: bimbeano : July 13th, 2018-09:57
The only chronometer in the house is the blue Roller ... unfortunately for the Roller the Sheik keeps a bit better time .... . On this picture i obviously didn't set one of them correctly ;-) . HAGWE fella's ! Bim ...

As opposed to the first response I actually do have a concrete vintage Omega I am looking at but they are not that easy to find, especially in good condition. And I am sure you would find it difficult to guess, even if it has been an important watch in th...
Heck, I'll play
By: mrsnak : July 13th, 2018-16:06
Art was over this afternoon and I happened to have this beauty from 1969 on today, so it was perfect timing. Art made me do it. Sorry about the hairy arms. ...
Very cool shot!

And another great classical Omega Chronometer

By: KMII : July 14th, 2018-22:37

I see your superb Omega only when looking at the thread but not inside your post, Art. Still, a fantastic piece of chronometry
I switched photos, K . . .
By: Dr No : July 14th, 2018-11:44
. . . but not to worry - pics of my chronometers will be posted shortly. PS - kudos on breaking 21K . . . you'll be passing my post count before you know it!
