As the announcement for a renewal of Baselworld shows, the watch manufacturers are eagerly awaiting out ‘revenge shopping’, as a letting off of steam after the pandemic. So this is the theme of this week. I would like to see the latest purchase, or the wa...
.. and my most spontaneous watch purchase ever, so it should qualify well for revenge shopping. First thing I did was to go to an exhibition with it. ...
The Spring drive has a fully rotatable case, so like pictured for time telling, and if you want to use the stop watch you rotate it into a bullhead configuration. You have added some truly delectable pieces in the meantime, the Moser does it most for me, ...
Went to Cartier today with the intention of getting a new Must but ended up with something else instead 😂 Very cool piece you have here - congratulations 👏🏻
. . . so far. Omega 1894 Homage . . . . . . and GS SBGH 279 . . . . . . are at home with Daddy. The vintage project . . . . . . is currently undergoing restoration at the spa, so this seller's photo will have to do. The fourth is paid for, and . . . . . ....
I specially love that 1894 and of course the 321 Ed White. You know how much I love GS watches. Agree with you that there is no surprise like a self surprise! Lol! Beautiful restoration project you have here!! I wish your EW will arrive soon!! Hagwe! Abel...
. . . which is probably as close as I'll ever get to owning an original Rail. Cal 283 movement in a 36 mm steel case with a black dial - not all that far off. But nothing will ever replace CK 2914 in my affections. Not even a Ranchero, which is truly as c...
Agree that the Ranchero is a very desirable piece as well. I can´t wait to view your 2608 project finished! Look forward to that! Have a nice week end my dear Art! A big hug for you. Abel
Hi I'm not sure I'd refer to this pair as revenge shopping. The Casio could possibly be a consequence of covid due to all the YouTube videos I watched - but the blame's more there than covid. The GP alarm - well it's an alarm, course I'm interested. Been ...
You are slowly advancing to the Mr. Alarm status around here, with the GP bringing you that one step closer ⏰ And I can fully understand you on the G-Shock - up to five in our household in the meantime, too 🦾
I love the classic Omega and I’m happy you got your Seiko Spring Drive chrono after such a long hunt and wait, a unique awesome design it is no doubt! Indeed the long lockdown months (9 months) in my Country during 2020 and the return to strong short term...
Four different Speedmasters, a Bond and a Pasha - wow 🤩 As we discussed I am still surprised that Cartier decided to remove lume from what has historically always been a dive watch, even if it looks nice design wise. And keeping my fingers crossed that Ro...
... most of their owners actually never took their watches to the water and it is only a luxury watch nowadays with no diving pretentions. Who knows! Regarding Rolex: in my recent trip to Miami I was able to visit several Rolex Boutiques and they have abs...
The steel model comes with a grey straps included and the Boutique presented me with a blue one as well. I also ordered a red croco set which still didn´t arrive to me. The watch seems to change personality with bracelet, or straps and with colors you cho...
So I got it that you said that the watch changes personality with different straps and bracelet. It is really nice and I look forward to seeing your Pasha in red strap! Enjoy your weekend!
... to suit a particular event or to make it closer to your personal tastes. I´m eagerly waiting for my red straps which I ordered in May. I was told that they will need a few more weeks to arrive. It takes its time as they are specially ordered to Paris ...
But with the non-pliant straps they come on they felt very weird on the wrist. Trick missed 🤷🏻♂️ No such issue with this one. Plus it’s not a reissue, so I feel the brand should be rewarded for that 😁
No revenge shopping for me, I am always level-headed 😂 . But I did add on to my modern Omega collection in a vengeance. The Ed White came In Dec20 (after a 10 mths wait), followed by the Titanium Ploprof a week later and the new Speedy in Jan21. Before, m...
The revenge shopping term was more tongue in cheek, really. Personally I don’t really feel any deprivation in that sense and all the watches bought would have been so even without a lockdown (possibly a bit sooner). Like the Omega additions a lot but the ...
I have definitely bought considerably more watches during the pandemic than I usually would have although it does not feel like revenge - more like less time traveling and working out of the house so more time to browse the forums ... I acquired three wat...
Or has it just been pleasure seeking, probably a little of each in strange times. Unfortunately, I haven’t yet photographed a full revenge set :-( ... Here’s a few that i’m currently enjoying ... If your set on revenge this place is a good start !... This...
In March this year I sold one of our car as we do not need 2 cars while staying home most of the time. The car needed jumping as battery kept dying due to the lack of driving. I should have sold it even earlier to save on the insurance. One month later in...
A theme that speaks for it self. The pandemic where we all had to deal with, and i guess we would talk a long time after when it is over. The watches i bought before the ….. i think we all post so much, the server would have problems. My pandemic watch, i...
... which makes for a sweet Revenge purchase. Interesting to know your purchases are made in special dates. This makes the new watch to arrive to you with an special meaning behind it which will be remembered everytime you have it on your wrist. You have ...
Am thinking on whether to shock the traditionalists with a coloring outside the lines slightly combination for the Seamaster… 🧐😂 Both that and the Drive were interesting recent additions 👍🏻
It would be exiting. I seen a video some seconds, and i will repeat the video. Up tick watches went to an Omega boutique, and show something i feel it is a must have. An ideal after pandemic watch, also symbolic through a northern hemisphere. Finding a pi...
So I engaged with him and decided to go ahead and place an order. I love these hands and it was what originally intrigued me about his work. Initially I was going for a dark blue dial, but as he makes the dial paints himself, the color came out a bit too ...
… which was a lovely magazine a used to read and enjoy in my youth. Regrettably defunct since several years ago it was the pioneer mag where all the news from the diving world were informed in times when internet and social nets didn’t exist. Thank you ag...
...especially if the watch might be a little large. The lens didn't do this justice but it was a very nice fit on my wrist! I think my next watch will be between this, the GO SeaQ Panorama Date and JLC Polaris Mariner Date (neither of which I've tried on ...
Of course it would be great if your try also the two other watches you mention. Good luck with your hunting and thank you so much for participating this weekend. Cheers! Abel
... hard times we are going through. We never have to abandon our faith and hope of better times to come soon. Look forward to your participation in future editions of WS!! Cheers! Abel
