I do have a weakness for manual-wind watches with sub-seconds. ...  

Terrific duo you have! [nt]

Amazing clean Jekyll and Hyde

Thank you for your kind comments, dear friends!

The Lange remains a steadfast favourite, while the VC is my new love. Such is the duality of my attraction

Fortunately horological duality...

Let’s see if Druid Padj also decides to play this card

Hey, you guys are pretty good!

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 29th, 2018-10:47
I didn't see this until now, honest. I was considering the ck2998, but it doesn't have the very rare avigator strap.

And right you were :) [nt]

 
 By: KMII : September 30th, 2018-12:06

And if I am not mistaken this is one of the rarest Speedmasters of all?

Thank you KMII

It is just an android shot trying to capture the lume. Fratello says so

I believe Speedie74 has one, too :)

My very cost effective pilots watch from Ticino

 
 By: Hulk : September 28th, 2018-06:55
I have to say for a virgin pilot watch dial its great. I think it has a miyota movement. The time keeping is excellent. Changing the time is very precise and the feel is more like an expensive model. Strap is a bit stiff and case is a couple of mm too big...  

Cheers. ☘ [nt]

Marc Newson and Oliver Ike divested from Ikepod in 2012. The story is a group of investors bought the name in 2017 and have relaunched the brand with some Newson-like designs and quartz movements. Perhaps their idea is to reposition Ikepod as a fashion br...

 By: KMII : September 28th, 2018-13:04
Both the Geophysic and the Doxa are simply so cool - you could call them the two watch collection of a modern day explorer! One would have all bases covered the pair. Thanks for the fantastic pictures and wishing you a great weekend!

Thank you so much for your so kind comments dear KM! Agree! Love your definition! A two watch collection of a modern day explorer!

It seems that eternal life brings omniscience as a side effect Some fantastic shots Padj and I love the watch / strap combination even though no chickens got harmed in the making

In all honesty

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 29th, 2018-09:55
the strap is made from the rare avigator. "Avigator?" you ask. Well, there is a certain cross-breed of alligators and peahens found in the swamps of southwestern Louisiana that render beautiful rich, brown leather. These animals are known as avigators. So... 

Now I definitely need to see the pictures of this creature :)

 
 By: KMII : September 29th, 2018-10:03
And Google’s not helping Thanks for the laugh, Padj!

Hmm...let me think. [nt]
