WS of the 9th June - STARTS NOW!!!
By: andrewluff : June 8th, 2017-15:08
So here is my choice for tonight and trying to choose something to open to share... I love this watch but on the other hand have a very strange relationship with it as I only wear it maybe once or twice a year. On the other hand, it has also been on near ...
A timeless classic...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-02:48
Always loved the green crystal on the Milgauss and of course the orange hand!! A great watch. Cheers Andrew
Birthday watches ...

Here are some: Last year birthday gift to myself: Polaris 65 Pt. A celebration forever. Static picture for the celebration: The last Amvox. Seven: Last year Christmas: My coolest gift, from the last year: A glorious watch, IMHO: A wonderful weekend to all...
WOW Nilo....
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-02:49
You are bringing in the heavy guns!! I would have trouble choosing between them... but think it would have to go towards the Omega, I have always been fascinated with this piece. If you could only keep one from these... which would it be? Cheers Andrew
Rolex Milgauss
By: MRA : June 8th, 2017-21:56
This was my engagement present watch in 2011. I figured if the girl gets a ring the guy gets a Rolex. Have a great weekend everyone. ...
a Milgauss winner...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-02:52
I have never owned a Rolex but if I did, this would be probably be towards the top of the list. What made you choose this one rather than the green crystal one? Cheers Andrew
Honestly...
By: MRA : June 9th, 2017-03:57
To be honest it was a tricky decision. I remember talking to a work colleague the day before I went to buy it & saying "first pick is the GV (green crystal), then the white, then the black". I arrived at the AD as soon as they opened & we laid all 3 versi...
This just arrived yesterday...

... so it's on my wrist today of course. A continuation of my ongoing obsession with blued hands ! ...
An amazing Zenith...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-02:53
you must tell me more about that, it looks like a decent size case as well? Love those angles on the lugs. Great catch! Cheers Andrew
Thanks CC, Alkiro, VMM & Andrew for your kind words...
By: NT931 : June 9th, 2017-06:03
... in helping celebrate my obsession with blued hands Andrew : its a 37mm case, and like you I really like the angular lugs that add such retro charm. It's a Zenith A271, and served as a partial inspiration for the recent Hodinkee+Zenith watch collaborat...
What a charm and beauty !
By: Mike H : June 11th, 2017-01:38
Nothing can have as much charm as a beautiful vintage piece in such a nice condition ! Excellent catch bravo, it is worth being patient ! Mike
I am with you Nico...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-03:16
it is why I still have it. I put it on and fall in love with it again... not that the relationship ended maybe just cooled off! I just wonder sometimes if I were to get shed a few pieces which I did not wear would I miss them and get a bigger piece which ...
Some from me for consideration

#1: the Paris GTG Watch #2: a classic yellow gold vintage dress watch with a twist #3: a curvy classic GP that goes well with all celebration events HAGWE, CC ...
For me that GP high frequency is just magic...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-02:55
The style of the numerals, the balanced dial and that orange hand! I wish GP would go back to making some of these amazing watches... they seem to have lost their way recently. Cheers CC Andrew
My contribution.

Not wear a watch today??!!!
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-04:14
Are you sick?! LOL! But if you were going to wear one, this Nomos fits the bill. Always loved the beautiful clean dials on these. Is that a power reserve just above the centre of the dial? Cheers Andrew
:)
By: VMM : June 9th, 2017-06:26
Don't worry, real passions never die, and mine is real. Still enjoying them. Not wearing many watches these days. I haven't worn any for more than three years, and now they really bother me on the wrist. They must be light and comfy or I would not wear th...
You don't see these very often!
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-05:36
I remember I almost bought one back in the day as they had a model with orange if I recall in it. Very cool watch indeed... big but cool!!! Cheers Andrew
Thanks Andrew
By: gcTIME : June 9th, 2017-06:50
Indeed these don't come by often. Yes, big but wearable as it has no lugs. Hugs my small wrist quite well I must say.
Happy Birthday, Andrew!
By: KIH : June 9th, 2017-05:45
... well, from me, not exactly celebratory timing, but here it is. Celebrating with Caviar and Champagne -)) HAGWE, everyone! I am flying again....for business trip next week..... Sigh.... Ken ...
Arrggghh...Ken
By: gcTIME : June 9th, 2017-06:51
You are killing me with that Chopard again!
Well it looks tough Ken...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-13:02
but someone has to eat the caviar and drink he champagne I guess! I have travelled for the last 15 years so totally get it, everyone thinks it must be great but most of the time I am happy to actually be at home! Safe travels! Andrew
Thanks Abel!
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-13:07
Its a strange one, I wore it yesterday and then thought I wonder why I do not wear it more often. I wonder if it is the weight of being platinum that puts me off... Cheers Andrew
Definitely something worth celebrating!
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-13:10
Love the clean and almost sterile dial of the MIH... no frills just the information you need clear and concise. Cheers Andrew
Wow!
By: jml_watches : June 9th, 2017-14:34
If I get to 20 years service the most I can expect is the certificate!
Jml, I had to buy the watch...
By: jporos : June 9th, 2017-16:36
All I got from the University was the certificate. I also had to earn my promotion by putting together a 300 page portfolio and have outside and inside reviewers recommend and vote for me. Nothing is free.
Means you got to choose a great one :-)
By: jml_watches : June 10th, 2017-01:04
Was rather amazed initially as thought the days of watches as long service awards were long gone. You've just proved me right - you have to buy your own! Though yours is a great choice. Enjoy wearing it JML
This is definitely my celebration watch
By: nafetS : June 9th, 2017-10:38
1. My only visibly (non-white) golden watch. I don't wear gold a lot, but i adore this one. 2. Perfect size for my golden watch 3. The perfect mixture of classic and dressy, yet still young and sporty. 4. There's nothing I don't like about it (except mayb...

What a wonderful setting
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-13:13
and a gorgeous Milla Miglia! I always like the way they printed the 12 and 6 on the inside of the crystal on this model, always catches my eye. Enjoy! Andrew
Thank you Nico!
By: bulentvural93 : June 10th, 2017-13:44
I haven't seen Sicily yet but believe me that who loves Marine Life should come and see Bodrum and its neighbor villages. Best,Bülent...
Ah the gorgeous red reverso...
By: andrewluff : June 9th, 2017-13:59
I remember picking one up with another PuristS a few years back... love the deep red colour of the dial and looks great in the sunshine! Would look even better in the Greek sunshine!! Cheers Andrew
Happy... ummm 30th... for 6 days time!!
By: andrewluff : June 10th, 2017-07:26
My way of counting I never get past mid 30's... makes it easier. Lovely Breitling... its amazing how it has not dated, it is still a great and relevant piece today. The last few years Breitling seem to have gone off the boil... I wonder what will come aft...
Thank you Andrew.
By: Alkiro1 : June 10th, 2017-08:42
Yes, a revival or a slow death throes. We'll see. Best wishes Alkiro
I tried my best but can't decide...
By: Mike H : June 11th, 2017-01:50
...which of your pics I like best, they are all equally great ! A 20 years gift from your parents is indeed one to cherish specially, it gives to your watch a very special value. Best, Mike
Oh yes! ;-)

Are you still on this stupid competition ;)
By: andrewluff : June 10th, 2017-07:27
I think this is one of the ultimate celebration watches... turning it over is a celebration itself and deserves a long cool drink while soaking in that beautiful Minerva. Cheers Andrew

What a selection of absolutely beauties!
By: andrewluff : June 10th, 2017-12:21
There are more Milgauss this week than I think I have ever seen! I would have trouble choosing between those... but for me... I have a soft spot for the el primero Cheers Abel, Andrew
Thank you for your kind comments NT931!!...
By: Subexplorer : June 11th, 2017-09:18

Is that as it is always on the won (wrong) time?
By: andrewluff : June 11th, 2017-06:53
Like mine as always forget to set the time! Goes great with the ring! That JLC with the blue markers and hands is very classy indeed Robin. Cheers Andrew

... but the 2 which I really REALLY like are the KV and guiloche on the RG VC. What lovely dials, and what an amazing collection.
I can't deny these 2 are REALLY great...
By: Mike H : June 11th, 2017-09:40
...but I must admit I enjoy switching between all of them from one time to the other without moderation (except logistics reasons as they are not at home at the same time...!)
I killed nobody neither here nor anywhere my friend, don't worry ! LOL
By: Mike H : June 11th, 2017-10:53
I'm just lucky to own few pieces that bring me immense pleasure and that I am glad to share here, this is it in all simplicity I won't carry my safe with me so there is little chance only that you see many of them at the same time at the same place...but ...
Perfect ;-)
