You are cordially invited to the event this week. To RSVP, please reply with a limited edition item and the watch you will wear this weekend. Come share your pictures of limited edition things, juxtaposed with your watches. It is now open. Bowling balls, ...  

I’m still thinking what photo I will take for this week. Wow, Boris and Captain Scarlet’s LE items are so cool. A Marine Nationale bag, and Aviator items. Oooo

Being a M.N. 22, I guess it qualifies as a limited edition, but in case not, I have also included its ancestor stamped M.N.80, which was definitely a limited edition. The other stuff, I got from the Marine Nationale online shop: the knife is the actual se...  

That is a spectacular entry Boris. The M.N 22 edition juxtaposed with the cool bag and knife, and the “ancestor” M.N 80. Love it so much.

Hello dear Cookies and the team ! Great theme ! This weekend I’m going to start with a limited threesome … The Flieger Verus 40 Vintage 95 limited edition is accompanied by a pair of Dunhill Spitfire cufflinks, made of metal from a Battle of Britain Spitf...  

I laid my eyes on your sheepskin jacket, and Dunhill Cufflinks (made with the special recycled/upcycled metal) and Stowa watch. My eyes won’t move from the picture. Oooo la la!

I’m pleased that you like them, I love a little vintage upcycling 😉

Stunning Flieger! And I absolutely love those Spit cuff links. Awesome! I would love to see your RAF flying jacket! Well played my dear friend!! Hagwe! Abel

Perfect for the aviation and military enthusiasts

Something a little different can be good fun in a collection.

. . . to make your acquaintance, Cap. Serving in the RAF was a point of immense pride for him, to say the least. Art

Or did he….he recently posted a pic of him flying a plane wearing a rectangular independant watch. Is it true he can fly a plane? The mystery deepens…heeheehee

. . . towards the end of the war, Cookies. He was stationed in North Africa and never flew a combat mission, if memory serves correct. He was a dear friend of our family; I referred to him as 'Uncle' out of a combination of fondness and respect. Art

I will make my post a tribute to him and all the other RAF Crews.

I’m sorry to disappoint but I don’t have the jacket with me today as it’s 32o and no other photos with me. I will post a separate post with this jacket in a few days for you. Best regards Captain

just one Manouche who is my son and a Nord Zeitmaschine Variocurve (just very few) ...  

And taken with a very special loved one too! I’ve never seen a Nord in the wild before. Very niche brand.

...  

Probably only 12 made as salesmans pieces of caliber 560 in the 1960’s for the American market Limited one out og 90 made Hagwe Hans ...  

Nice Pilot watch.

Curious to see that the Seamaster and Deville were in the same watch. Seldom seen vintage piece there. Is that a Laco pilot? It looks like a strap monster

What's the brand of the pilot's watch?

Not only is the watch itself as limited edition as it gets (#64 out of 100), but the tourmaline in quartz stone is purportedly rare, especially in this color combination that happens to match the watch colors immaculately well ........ (yes, black and ora...  

The colour and texture are excellent 👌

I sure love it . Cheers, Filip

Can you tell us anything more about the tourmaline in quartz stone. I love the colour.

for those who are spiritually inclined to any extent, it helps bring strength and balance to one's life.... I wasn't specifically looking to buy a tourmaline-infused quartz stone, but it was frankly the one I liked the most in a large store that specifica... 

My wife has a beautiful Tourmaline ring and I love the colour.

As Nico often says of rare watches. I went to read on Amvox LE’s and yours in a beautiful and very limited edition. Is it the Racing edition, as he wrote here: www.watchprozine.com

appreciate your sentiments, yes, it is precisely one of the grand total of 224 'Racing' AMVOXlls - 100 black dial (mine), 100 black & white dial, and 24 for the Paris boutique (b&w dial but in a black PVD case, like the black dial that I have). Thanks for... 

Cheers, Filip

J'adore vraiment beaucoup ! Merci, Filip

One I was wearing at work (rado) Ghost Captain, one for dinner (mb). They are also extremes in my collection for size and price - the rado at 37.3 mm/ steel, the mb at 43.5mm/WG. Rado is out of 150, the mb out of 58. ...  

58 is almost unheard of these days. I always see LEs in the hundreds in the major manufacturers. That Rado CC is a stealthy limited edition.

Something else that I have enjoy collecting, bronzes and the odd Patek, hope you like this one… ...  

Love the aquanaut and bronze statue too.

I love bronze sculptures myself.... Cheers, Filip

The lighting on the dial is perfect!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Here are two watches I have that are limited edition models. The first is the Sinn U50 mother of pearl dial limited edition of 500. It is a perfect watch for swimming. The other is Lang and Heyne Hektor that I am wearing now. It is one of 99 and if you co...  

That is a very beautiful watch, front, back and sides are equally stunning. Love the Sinn MOP dial too. That is very tropical, like a holiday in Hawaii.

Yeah, agree with you these are beautiful watches and I cannot stop looking at them . Take care!

My new-to-me LE Seiko Turtle “Sea Grapes” arrived this afternoon from Singapore, 3 days early via DHL! These days if FedEx could just manage to deliver on time I’d be very happy. Certainly will see a lot of wrist time over the long Labor Day weekend. Have...  

Orange hand which is so legible. I like the curved case too. Love the day date function on it too. I actually don’t mind the assymetry of dials, as the function is very useful. The colour really resembles sea grapes on a cloudy day’s dive.

Here is the watch next to my Habring² with orange hand for comparison ...  

This Habring is beautiful. Could you tell us more about it?

Likewise to you, cheers, Filip

that combination is stunning!

Joining with a couple. The BP is an off catalog Wempe ed. The Hektor somehow is just a run of 99 which can well be a regular run sports model offering. ...  

Dark, succulent and it highlights the motiff in the centre of the dial. That’s one rare BP too. I was too late to get a BP I always wanted. The aqualung big date. Prices are off the charts now for that piece.

Other than Putin, rare to see one on forums/social media.

My trusted 16570 on tropic style strap, with a background of the first edition of the Rolang Garros yearly poster. This one was signed by the artist, Arroyo, number 145 of a series of 150. Sorry for the reflections, it's a bit difficult to get a good shot...  

Roland Garros makes very nice posters. I am going to read more about his works tonight. Wow!!

And great strap for that Explorer!

Very cool 👍

Perhaps interestingly, both watches are part of the same, new Calatrava reference 5177G featuring a hobnail bezel --- a choice that I find great looking and also historically significant for Patek. It's probably well known that my favorite watch EVER --- ...  

Oooo, ooooo…my mouth was making an Oooo expression when I saw the School of Fishes. From a distance it looks like a peacock feather motiff, and close up, it is magical like a underwater scene from Pixar. I’m gonna revisit the pictures again later to admir... 

Not easy to choose just one but I can well understand your love for the Boccadasse and the Fish School ones! Sublime pieces!! Keep loving and enjoying your unique collection so much!! Always a joy to view them! Hagwe! Abel

… marvelous pieces and for the brand and it’s easy for me to understand that considering they are indeed true Masterpieces. I wish you’ll keep loving and enjoying them so much my dear friend. Best cordial regards Abel

Your Patek 'game' is top-notch. Great set of pictures, cheers, Filip
