The case is no less intriguing, Alkiro . . .
. . . with its blend of gentle curves and straight lines, multiple angles, and matte vs polished surfaces.
When Ken posted it several years ago, I knew right on the spot that I had to have one. And when Cazalea saw it on my wrist, he had the same reaction.

WristScan 12/1 starts now...Free theme
Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. Long day at work :-( Here is what will be on my wrist this weekend...My Omega Museum Collection Pilots watch Japan LE. What will you be wearing? Looking forward! Cheers, Mike ...
I vote right now. You win Mike!
That is a killa watch! I need to hear more about it, maybe a new post on the Omega forum soon?
I forget what year it came out...I think early 2003 or 2005.
Limited to 150 pieces, white MOP dial. 40mm in diameter. Best, Mike
Possibly earlier, Mike - this model was a preview . . .
. . . of what turned out to be the Museum Collection. There was a Museum Collection edition of the 1938 Pilot, but yours preceded that one by a few years . . . I think! Hard to remember details anymore ;-) . . .
That's interesting, I always thought it was the other way around!
Thanks for the clarification Art. Best, Mike
Always been attracted to that model...
I've never been able to try it out in the metal...I think that is a good thing, or else there would be a larger hole in the bank account! Thanks for sharing and that first composed photo is awesome Best, Mike
Many thanks Mike
No worries, just a little hole in your bank account with this one 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
That's all the inspiration I need . . .
. . . to switch to my Karree Panodate for the day. Taking Amtrak for the first time ever in a few hours, might as well have a new wrist companion along for the trip! Art
GO is definitely a brand a watch collector must to consider for me
Best wishes Alkiro
I'm in Atlanta working this week
My choice is limited to my RD Easy Diver. Shameless plug, If anyone is looking for a new laptop I really like this Surface Book 2. Best, Martin ...
That's good advice considering there are some good black Friday deals...
I have the original Surface tablet but was looking for a new laptop. will have to go check it out at the nearby Microsoft store. I like the RD too Hope you are not working hard and get a chance to play...so many fond memories of Atlanta where I spent my y...
SInce it's free ...
What about this one: JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique Color plus color plus a gorgeous dial. A macro shot of the tourbillion cylindrique An amazing weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Love that last macro showing the cylindrical hairspring...
that must be a marvelous watch to just stare at! what an entry for this week Nilo. Best, Mike
I know that you will like this dial...
I had restrictions about the step on the dial, but I love the Cylindrique Tourbillon. Cheers, Nilo
I understand your concern about this "step"
But, at the same time, it gives a touch of originality to this timepiece which helps it to be less "conventional" for me. Best wishes Alkiro
I didn't know this existed
Now I’m ashamed! This is beautiful! That cylindrical balance spring is to die for! I particularly like nice escapements. Give me a Breguet over coil any day, but this knocks it out of the park. Thanks for posting.
Oh, my goodness. Not often smitten by a Jaeger, but this one . . .
. . . is luscious. Art
About 50 years old in fact...
But you are spot on - new to me And High Frequency is definitely one of the focus areas for me. Grand Seiko 4520-8000 btw.
The last word in GS design . . .
. . . and the vintage version, no less. HAGWE, K. (There: a complete sentence in all caps!)
LOL 😂
I have learned from our encounter in Zagreb and started looking at vintage. A couple of pieces still looking for but it’s definitely fun Thanks Art!
Even with all the amazing watches in your collection
this one must be really hard to take off your wrist! Hope all is well, Mike
Freedom to modify as you'd like to
In some areas, modifying something from the standard template is expected. and even celebrated. I was in Luang Prabang earlier this week, and chanced upon this tuk-tuk modified into an explosion of colour. In a similar (but less colourful) vein, modding S...
Thanks Nico and Alkiro! No plunging into the Mekong...
But I got sprayed with water while bathing an elephant in the Mekong, and also took a dip in the Tad Sae waterfalls. Happily the Seiko made it through!
Well all I have is a pic from behind of me on the elephant going into the Mekong
Then then water festivities started! ...
Absolutely in agreement
Making changes and personalizing Seikos have always been a fun part of "collecting"... Looking to hearing more about your interesting trip....that is a definately an unique destination. Best, Mike
Strong appeal but with enough charm !.. Am I remembering that yours is the Laureato (2016)/41mm ??
Have scheduled to see some Laureatos (blue & grey)next week, when I'm back. We'll see.. Anyway, yours is great ! Best & Enjoy your GTG, guys ! hs
A couple of Seikos for me
Hi A couple of my JDM Seikos And a random Nomos picture Cheers JML ...
Thanks - classic design
Nicely understated & wears bigger than its 35/6 mm would suggest. Needs a bit more wrist time if I'm honest Cheers JML
The very thin bezel gives an impression of a bigger size
You're definitely right. Give it more wrist time. Best wishes Alkiro
It gets even brighter if you charge it up
If you want a full on glow in the dark shot - charge it with a torch & it's almost unreal! Cheers JML
I’ve also heard the 3448 referred to by this name
Such a charming nickname isn’t it! This watch is beautiful, look at that case!
What a case!
Love the double stepped bezel. I am unwinding from being up all night at work and watching an episode of "ancient aliens"...that profile shot reminds me of a UFO CHeers, Mike
Lotsa stuff goin' on this weekend, Mike . . .
. . . looks like the vintage GS . . . . . . is going to be on duty for a few days. Warmest, Art ...
