So here is my choice for tonight and trying to choose something to open to share... I love this watch but on the other hand have a very strange relationship with it as I only wear it maybe once or twice a year. On the other hand, it has also been on near ...  

...  

Always loved the green crystal on the Milgauss and of course the orange hand!! A great watch. Cheers Andrew

Here are some: Last year birthday gift to myself: Polaris 65 Pt. A celebration forever. Static picture for the celebration: The last Amvox. Seven: Last year Christmas: My coolest gift, from the last year: A glorious watch, IMHO: A wonderful weekend to all...  

And what about this Omega. Absolutely stunning. Best wishes Alkiro

You are bringing in the heavy guns!! I would have trouble choosing between them... but think it would have to go towards the Omega, I have always been fascinated with this piece. If you could only keep one from these... which would it be? Cheers Andrew

... Have a great week end my friend! Cheers! Abel

Not only they represent a respectable brand but all of them are handsome complications. Thanks fo sharing, Best Bülent...

This was my engagement present watch in 2011. I figured if the girl gets a ring the guy gets a Rolex. Have a great weekend everyone. ...  

I have never owned a Rolex but if I did, this would be probably be towards the top of the list. What made you choose this one rather than the green crystal one? Cheers Andrew

To be honest it was a tricky decision. I remember talking to a work colleague the day before I went to buy it & saying "first pick is the GV (green crystal), then the white, then the black". I arrived at the AD as soon as they opened & we laid all 3 versi... 

... so it's on my wrist today of course. A continuation of my ongoing obsession with blued hands ! ...  

lovely vintage Zenith Chronograph and I'm with you on blued hands...

Best wishes Alkiro

you must tell me more about that, it looks like a decent size case as well? Love those angles on the lugs. Great catch! Cheers Andrew

... in helping celebrate my obsession with blued hands Andrew : its a 37mm case, and like you I really like the angular lugs that add such retro charm. It's a Zenith A271, and served as a partial inspiration for the recent Hodinkee+Zenith watch collaborat... 

Nothing can have as much charm as a beautiful vintage piece in such a nice condition ! Excellent catch bravo, it is worth being patient ! Mike

Admittedly, I am (more often than not) ill-disciplined

But when you wear it, you know why you own it. It is such a special watch! Best, Nicolas

it is why I still have it. I put it on and fall in love with it again... not that the relationship ended maybe just cooled off! I just wonder sometimes if I were to get shed a few pieces which I did not wear would I miss them and get a bigger piece which ... 

#1: the Paris GTG Watch #2: a classic yellow gold vintage dress watch with a twist #3: a curvy classic GP that goes well with all celebration events HAGWE, CC ...  

The style of the numerals, the balanced dial and that orange hand! I wish GP would go back to making some of these amazing watches... they seem to have lost their way recently. Cheers CC Andrew

The orange hand, the tan ostrich strap come together harmoniously with the Arabic numerals!

.. lucky you to have the sweet pain of selection.. Cheers & Best, hs.

I don't know if I will wear a watch today, but if so, it will be this one. Vte ...  

Are you sick?! LOL! But if you were going to wear one, this Nomos fits the bill. Always loved the beautiful clean dials on these. Is that a power reserve just above the centre of the dial? Cheers Andrew

Don't worry, real passions never die, and mine is real. Still enjoying them. Not wearing many watches these days. I haven't worn any for more than three years, and now they really bother me on the wrist. They must be light and comfy or I would not wear th... 

...  

I remember I almost bought one back in the day as they had a model with orange if I recall in it. Very cool watch indeed... big but cool!!! Cheers Andrew

Indeed these don't come by often. Yes, big but wearable as it has no lugs. Hugs my small wrist quite well I must say.

... well, from me, not exactly celebratory timing, but here it is. Celebrating with Caviar and Champagne -)) HAGWE, everyone! I am flying again....for business trip next week..... Sigh.... Ken ...  

coz if i need to fly on business, my meals look more like this ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

in comparison with Ken. But I must admit, in European terms that actually looks quite good!

You are killing me with that Chopard again!

but someone has to eat the caviar and drink he champagne I guess! I have travelled for the last 15 years so totally get it, everyone thinks it must be great but most of the time I am happy to actually be at home! Safe travels! Andrew

... as you explain this duality. In any case, I wish you´ll enjoy it so much (till you find another watch which justifies letting this one go!) All the best, Abel.

Its a strange one, I wore it yesterday and then thought I wonder why I do not wear it more often. I wonder if it is the weight of being platinum that puts me off... Cheers Andrew

HAGWE! ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Love the clean and almost sterile dial of the MIH... no frills just the information you need clear and concise. Cheers Andrew

If I get to 20 years service the most I can expect is the certificate!

All I got from the University was the certificate. I also had to earn my promotion by putting together a 300 page portfolio and have outside and inside reviewers recommend and vote for me. Nothing is free.

Was rather amazed initially as thought the days of watches as long service awards were long gone. You've just proved me right - you have to buy your own! Though yours is a great choice. Enjoy wearing it JML

1. My only visibly (non-white) golden watch. I don't wear gold a lot, but i adore this one. 2. Perfect size for my golden watch 3. The perfect mixture of classic and dressy, yet still young and sporty. 4. There's nothing I don't like about it (except mayb...  

Thanks for sharing. Tim

But I like it! Great picture too! Cheers Andrew

Great 7 points - but you don't need them. Your picture says it all Cheers JML

The case is very different when compared to other Ulysse Nardin me very handsome sport watch. Thanks for sharing, And i will share my Chopard with a shot in front of the Bodrum Castle Turkey. Have a good weekend, Bülent... ...  

and a gorgeous Milla Miglia! I always like the way they printed the 12 and 6 on the inside of the crystal on this model, always catches my eye. Enjoy! Andrew

I haven't seen Sicily yet but believe me that who loves Marine Life should come and see Bodrum and its neighbor villages. Best,Bülent...

About an island with very few watches worn, and where I may be visiting very soon. Part of me is already there, and that will be its own special occasion. I do love this watch, brightens my day when I wear it. ...  

I remember picking one up with another PuristS a few years back... love the deep red colour of the dial and looks great in the sunshine! Would look even better in the Greek sunshine!! Cheers Andrew

Best wishes Alkiro

Impossible to find a better celebration timepiece than this one for me. Even birds-of-paradise seems to love it HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro ...  

My way of counting I never get past mid 30's... makes it easier. Lovely Breitling... its amazing how it has not dated, it is still a great and relevant piece today. The last few years Breitling seem to have gone off the boil... I wonder what will come aft... 

Yes, a revival or a slow death throes. We'll see. Best wishes Alkiro

...which of your pics I like best, they are all equally great ! A 20 years gift from your parents is indeed one to cherish specially, it gives to your watch a very special value. Best, Mike

I think this is one of the ultimate celebration watches... turning it over is a celebration itself and deserves a long cool drink while soaking in that beautiful Minerva. Cheers Andrew

you cannot submit the same watch twice in a row

.. of not having "applied" for this great Chronograph. But there are always also other objects of desire.. - Another time, another occasion.. Best & HAGWE, dear friend hs

Ok.. this time I'll try to play with several chips.. First of all.. again Happy B-Day to you Andrew ! Here now my celebrating tic-tacs.. Celebrating my B-day in the theatre & JLC 1901 PanoInverse.. A bit eclectic but very coool.. JLC Geomatic & Bl...  

.. to me, this is a piece with a very specific appeal. It is amazing how light plays with the different parts & sectors of the dial. - Quite attractive, indeed ! Best, hs PS: I'll bring it along, when we meet..

And I love the colour of the dial of your JLC 1901. It perfectly matches the colour of the theatre. Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

.. Actually it often attracts people's looking, who are not that familiar with the GO portfolio .. It's a nice modern addition to my modern JLC's, while more recently widening my collection a bit, also somewhat extending to other brands.. Thx for "eagle e... 

.. but I am sure, we'll find some stuff to make fresh photos.. Cheers & Besr, hs

it is to handle the weather here!! Nice Milgauss! Cheers Andrew

... but also every time I wear a favorite which has been resting inside the bank vault for a long time! Here I will play with another Milgauss to add to this thread as well as a few more timepieces I celebrate each time they are strapped to my wrist! Have...  

There are more Milgauss this week than I think I have ever seen! I would have trouble choosing between those... but for me... I have a soft spot for the el primero Cheers Abel, Andrew

... 1969 model with its 38mm case. Hagwe my friend!! All the best, Abel.

... agree with your words! I had to install these vintage style straps because the little screw in the original aligator deployant straps came loose and lost. Fortunately the watch didnt fall to the ground.! The brown croco set came back from the AD with ... 

Best wishes Alkiro

... Speedy moonphase is an awesome watch and the moon detail absolutely incredible! Hagwe my friend! Abel

Best wishes Alkiro

... the Moon can be haunting! Cheers! Abel

Best wishes Alkiro

Hagwe! Abel

I have to find one of these GMT MASTER with circled indices! Un abrazo, Amigo. Nicolas

... coming from you! Yes, I feel a nice wg surround indexes GMT with a great patina would be a great addition to your awesome GMT collection! Hope you find your piece soon! Have a nice Sunday and week my friend! Abel

.. In one way your full "card deck", never ceases to stir my interest. Well done, my friend - Bravo ! Best for the remainder of Sunday & for the upcoming week ! Best, hs

... kind comments and viewing! I'm happy to share the ownership of some pieces with you! And glad you like the array I selected for this week end! Have a beautiful Sunday and a nice week!! All the best! Abel

i don't really buy watches to celebrate milestones or events. There is one I bought to celebrate knowing Nico and meeting him for the first time when he visited singapore to launch the TT geophysic for JLC. And it was this watch: the JLC grande Reverso tr...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

Like mine as always forget to set the time! Goes great with the ring! That JLC with the blue markers and hands is very classy indeed Robin. Cheers Andrew

Sublime!! Hagwe! Abel

and absolutely impossible to rank them so in random... The latest arrival that I celebrate everyday since (not necessarily that I wear everyday !) That KV that brings a big smile on my face each time I look at it The LF Galet Square that is so incredible ...  

- If I would be allowed to choose only one, your mesmerizing KV is a real dream for me. But that does not at all belittle all your other sublime pieces, shown here. Thx for that very stimulating share, true pleasure to look at each of them ! Cheers & Best... 

...thank God I don't have to choose one only

... but the 2 which I really REALLY like are the KV and guiloche on the RG VC. What lovely dials, and what an amazing collection.

...but I must admit I enjoy switching between all of them from one time to the other without moderation (except logistics reasons as they are not at home at the same time...!)

If you had to only choose one... which would it be? For me that KV is stunning! Cheers Andrew

Thank God I can make a reset and choose another one every day if I want (with above mentioned logistics limitation )

... Sublime watches!! I specially love the PP !! Enjoy Celebrate and love in good health! Hagwe! Abel

I can't deny that this 3448 is just sublime

Best wishes Alkiro

I'm just lucky to own few pieces that bring me immense pleasure and that I am glad to share here, this is it in all simplicity I won't carry my safe with me so there is little chance only that you see many of them at the same time at the same place...but ... 

Best wishes Alkiro

Happy B-day, Andrew! My B-day watch is my very first "real watch" (old tradition of mine to wear this on my B-day, due to I got it for my 30th B-day). Best Blomman ...
