The weather here is cooling down...
so its starting to become great weather for watches on that are not on metal bracelets. Its actually been quite a while since I wore my 1972, so I'm looking forward to giving it some attention this weekend. HAGWE.
Best regards,
Dino

In tribute...
[You're re-defining 'overkill' there, ppcollector, but no-one could knock your taste in watches or your enthusiasm for the Friday thread! Good work.] This almost-forgotten piece comes up for some air today as a kind of tribute to a fellow cyber-traveller ...
That’s a nice shot …
You tell us that the dial is hard to read, yet you keep posting these wonderfully legible images. Certainly a special and complex El Primero. And congratulations to Rob from me too. Zenith has a safe and well tendered virtual home on the www. I will wear ...
Green ..
... nato in the fist !!! .... GREEN NATO ON THE WRIST !!! HAGWE EVERYBODY ... And especially to Nicolas: SANTé !!!! Filip...
Cravings ...
I would choose the PP 5110, but this is claerly the response to going without for a day last friday, ppcollector. Withdrawal. Nice wrist shot. Andrew
A Marine Chronometer from UN!
I always loved this model! Congrats, Richard. HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
Then today will be . . .
. . . "The Long Good Friday"! Please post a wrist shot when it arrives . . . cordially, Art
Great Combo, Patrice
always nice to see that the Polaris has such a nice Life no your wrist! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
Filip, Do you Have Champagne on the Brain????
I'm worrying that you may celebrate a bit too much, my friend!
Super mon ami
Hi Patrice I am jealous of your strap. And the watch too HAGWE - On the water I am sure. LOL Bill
Not a pic of the day, but this one is on my wrist right now

Very cool, love it!
Have you noticed an affectiveness in accuracy? Is there a display caseback?
Accurate it is, Ping
Circa 3 secs per day, which is excellent. As for the display back, a pic is worth words: Best, Ping! Nicolas...
Thank you for the pic...imressive for sure!
The escapement is partially visible? The blue under the spring? Still learning here.
It is even cooler in real!
A curious watch, ala U.NARDIN. But a very appealing one, with its curved shapes and its interesting movement. Thanks, my friend. Nicolas
Well, Andreas, it is now a not so new piece
As I own it for 2 years and an half, now... But still massively impressed by it, truely. Thanks for your kind words. Nicolas
it might just tell the time, but it is a true beauty Nico
possibly a design classic of the future. best Graham
Original, indeed
A Strong looking piece! The funny thing is that when I saw the first pics, it was all except love! Then I saw it in the flesh, and I literally jumped on it. It is already an important piece for UN, because it was the first time an ni house caliber was use...
Old, perhaps . . .
. . . but still one of the nicest dress watches ever . . . cordially, Art
The summer is nice, where you live, Jeff! :)
Very nice cigar shot! This Sub is a keeper, my friend. HAGWE, Nicolas
jealousy is a dreadful thing, but my heating came on this week in the morning
i cant believe it, its the first week of september and my automatically controlled heating clicked on the other morning and has come on every morning since then. there's a cruel wind blowing even though its sunny. you are a lucky man Jeff best Graham
Deft arrangement, Jeff . . .
. . . a 'clasico' cigar and a - no, THE - classic Rolex . . . the gentleman's companions! Cordially, Art
just to wind up Nico i'm wearing my thin bezel SM300 :)
i've been wearing my 1964 Rolex oyster for a few days so thought it was time for a change. to blend in with Nico's SM300 post i thought i'd wear one of them, the one he desires most. wristshot, his wrist, my watch (pic courtesy of Amanico) HAGWE everybody...
And I thought you were a friend, Graham!
How can I forget it??? Damn Wales Man. Best, Nicolas
LOL! it is only...
LOL! it is only a friend who could get away with this sort of temptation. best Graham
sorry stefan i'm a bit...
sorry stefan i'm a bit confused. this is a NOS original bracelet for this model SM300 which is why i bought it. i've taken the thick aftermarket mesh off the other one and i've just got to decide what to put on the refurbed one when its finished. it might...
Great watch ...
... i would post a pic of it together with a bottle of champagne ... just to tease somebody here on the forum HAGWE Graham, ... keep 'em dry Filip
That's the kind of Hefty I love!
Will have to pick mine for a wrsit session! Best, Nicolas
Welcome to our weekly wrist shot thread, Michael . . .
. . . and quite an entrance, too! Cordially, Art
Super cute leopard gecko!
Is he your pet? They make fantastic companions! Cheers, Daos
i'd faint nic
this baby's smart as hell, like a dog or pufferfish. Almost like he has a soul. But, apropos to this, toadskin straps look wonderful and i wonder if they are hardy
The lizard should look away now...
...here's one of the frog/toad skin straps manufactured by ABP. They are not for the faint-hearted, as their features show best in the 'electric' colours (somewhere in the strapbox there is a fiery orange one and a bright red one also, but they have yet t...
A diver or a Frogman?
So most people buy watches and then look for straps, but you buy straps and then look for matching watches? I recall someone saying they would love to own a Panerai one day, but couldn't afford the straps! Nice frog. Surely there is a market for Cane Toad...
Cordovan
Hello! I tried something different and bought two cordovan straps for the Minerva and the Breitling. The straps are made of genuine Horween Shell Cordovan and are the softest and best smelling straps I've ever used. The straps are handmade by Fluco, Ulric...
Great combo, De Balzac
And why not an Extra Cordovan in Black, for your Minerva? Congrats. Best, Nicolas
Black cordovan
I was thinking on black cordovan for the Minerva, but the dealer were sold out on black 18 mm. I will order one when they are back in stock. Then I need a pair of cordovan shoes...
Ditto . . .
. . . I need a short strap for the Sixties, anyways, so it might as well get the nod . . . cordially, Art
Casual Friday...
...with my old Seiko 5. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend -- it's a holiday weekend in the US, so we get Monday off too! Cheers, Daos...
Thanks, Art!
I really should take this sucker in for a water tightness check and to just clean up some dust that seems to have settled under the crystal on the dial side. Still, I like the strongly mechanical look of the movement, despite its simplicity and lack of ad...
a great value watch with in-house calibre Daos
enjoy your extended weekend, we had one last week or it could have been the week before, my memory drifts. it was the last weekend in august anyway. i forgot and went to the village shop to find it was shut at lunchtime. best Graham
You know I like these Seiko watches, Graham!
They are a good value IMO, as well. Cheers, Daos
bad shot
sorry at my desk with a bb... will try and get some more, always forget my camera
My assistants choice for the (business) week ...
... ... was ... ... and it was a good choice HAGWE Oliver...
Excellent, Oliver!
I love the way you presented it! And the watch, too! Best, Nicolas
Ah, so that's how you decide which watch to wear! Reminds me . . .
. . . of Craig's solution, and with a personal touch, too ;-) . . . cordially, Art
Great choice...
I love the Royal Oak. I'm hoping to make one my next purchase, I just need to narrow down which model and dial color. But it will definitely be from the standard Royal Oak collection as I prefer its more original design over what I've seen on the Offshore...
"it will definitely be from the standard Royal Oak collection" - I understand ...
your thoughts quite well. The only mistake I did is to wait too long until I bought my first one Oliver
how cool!
Pardon my ignorance, but is there a computer program you used to make this animation? Andreas
Brilliant, Oliver ...
Of course, we are going to expect this sort of 'introduction' to all your future watch posts. Nice RO too. Thanks! Andrew
LOL, this will be a ...
pleasure for me Oliver PS: One just has to know how to do ;-)
Aaah, Finally, Dino
An Explo II in our Friday Wear!!! It is so rare... Great choices. Best, Nicolas
I was about to say the same about the 1972, Nico! It has . . .
. . . such a strong identity, but we rarely see it except for when Dean posts it on our VC forum . . . appreciatively, Art
The weather here is cooling down...
so its starting to become great weather for watches on that are not on metal bracelets. Its actually been quite a while since I wore my 1972, so I'm looking forward to giving it some attention this weekend. HAGWE. Best regards, Dino
To borrow a phrase from Nico, this pic isn't from today, either . . .
. . . but this Senator Sixties will be my companion for the day . . . cordially, Art...
The more I see it, the more I love it, Art
And I know how it will end... Best, Nicolas
Well, since you're a child of the 1960's, perhaps it's . . .
. . . the perfect G O for you! Hopefully, Art
