Always glad to see a Habring2. Tim ...  

COS ZM... nice!

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : August 14th, 2020-21:37
Makes me wonder how many more Purists have them here?

Habrings?

 
 By: KMII : August 14th, 2020-23:56
3 delivered and one on the way. But no COS yet - will definitely get one eventually, though 😊

One on the way?🍾

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : August 15th, 2020-16:37
Is it a secret or can you share?!!!

Unfortunately not just yet...

 
 By: KMII : August 16th, 2020-01:49
I believe it will be unveiled in September 🤷🏻‍♂️ The three are a Felix and then a custom Erwin and custom Foudroyante that my wife and me got as an Anniversary gift to ourselves 😊

That’s a cool Habring2 [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 15th, 2020-02:44

Thanks to everyone for the kind

 
 By: timerider : August 15th, 2020-17:52
Words! The COS is always a hit at Watch gatherings. Very stealthy too. Lots of cool watches this week. Tim

I just love that shot of you with your son on the skateboard 👌..

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 15th, 2020-16:06

 By: KMII : August 14th, 2020-23:58
Yes, we’re generally OK but unfortunately stuck here without the possibility to travel. Hoping to have the chance to go to Vienna again soon - miss the place, our GTGs, the watches waiting for me... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Always a pleasure to view your classic collages my dear Hs111!!

Of course you can count with me dear KM! Just tell me...

Natural environment, sometimes ;-)) ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 15th, 2020-04:14
Hello KMII and friends. I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend it fine health. Natural environments come in many ways... Some very pleasurable.... Some very furry... Some very wet ... Some very salty.. Some rather chilly 🥶... Some just dangerous......  

Perfect for August 😎 ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 15th, 2020-05:16
Hope your weekend is going well 🥂

Truly fantastic!

 
 By: KMII : August 15th, 2020-05:15
But amongst those the Doxa and North Pole ones are the best IMHO 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Many thanks for your kind message..

Thanks, let me know if you ever want to let it go.

 
 By: timerider : August 16th, 2020-17:01
It is a very under appreciated watch. Looks great on the plane. Tim

Traveling and diving in style 👌🏻👍🏻

The first hand represents the time she says she needs to get ready (5 minutes), and the second hand represents the actual amount of time she takes (about an hour and a half). ...  

Is that a PAM319?

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : August 15th, 2020-16:41
If so, what a BEAST! A watch for manly men💪💪💪

It is a PAM 319 and I am a manly man!

 
 By: NickO : August 15th, 2020-17:18
So manly that I’ll stand up to any man. Manly enough to know the right answer when your wife takes two hours to get ready is stay in the kitchen, pour a whiskey and answer every question “yes dear”.

Bravo. :)))) [nt]

The strap is made from goat leather, Abel. All's well here . . .
