. . . shared this session. Thanks for contributing yours!

Have it for some time and in need of a service. /W72

Glad they introduced the Globemaster, with some of the Constellation design elements of the golden era

...  

. . . classic! And I mean that literally ;-) . . .

Thank you and I agree

HAGWE

Looking very interesting indeed

Best, Baxter ...

Very interesting piece!

. . . for those Princes, Julian - right up my alley. Thanks for bringing them to the party!

...  

. . . about vintage UN, that example doesn't look authentic to my eyes. Perhaps there's a UN collector here who can weigh in authoritatively. But it seems like a second-rate refinished dial. And a chrono graph , to boot. Very few chronographs perform doub... 

I do keep track of some interesting vintage watches.. this one comes from a reputable seller/collector.. i guess its difficult to trust anyone in the vintage world..

You don't have to put a watch on your wrist. There are 3 categories of judging. I was just asking because I thought may be you needed some medicated cream for your leathery skin condition.

I dont like you being serious.. ha..

Where Puristspro members are encouraged to post watch pictures following a specific theme, as defined by the host of the week. The pictures are then judged in three categories - wristshot, static and watch of the week. That’s it, really - just a fun commu... 

Luckily it's a chronometer. Cheers Fernando ...  

That is a very eye-catching piece, Fernando.

. . . or angel?" ;-) . . .

Often ellicits a smile when I look at it. 😊 HAGWE!

Hagwe my friend!! Abel

The red really pops!

...  

. . . and many thanks for making this your second post ever on PuristSPro! Art

I play with these: Yours, Adam ...  

A very tasty watch.

. . . is, in my humble opinion, the most compelling. I can't participate at that level anymore, sad to say . . . would've loved to own one. Art

Especially like the feature that the minute hand jumps when the watch is being set, so as to ensure absolute accurate placement of it. Great GOs!

...  

. . . had some influence shaping Junior's taste in watches. Dad's Longines . . . . . . certainly shaped mine. ;-) PS - congrats on breaking the 1K milestone! [Note to judges: this is not a chronometer, so please don't consider it while deliberating.] ...  

Your dad’s Longines - Wow! What a beautiful watch. Now that’s what I call great taste. Regards Kev.

Not seen this one before (that I can remember)

Love it how they all cover different bases. Have a great weekend!

and favorite album from Pink Floyd.... ...  

And a great album to go with them

. . . this was coming. And, I would be remiss to not take advantage of this opportunity in sharing a photo taken four years ago . . . . . . when our esteemed colleague Andrew D was in town. If I recall correctly, Pink Floyd was his favorite band. ...  

and superb shot of great watch with famous pig.... Thanks for sharing

. . . the best wrist shot I've ever taken. I mean, how much better can it get than to have a Dark Side paired with a Wall? ;-)

New and old chronometers! On the left wrist today my ref: 116000 back from full service under guarantee after only 7 months of ownership from new and on my right wrist, I am exercising my Constellation on its alligator strap, resting its 1965 original BOR...  

. . . as an American who had (or is that has ) the benefit of a British primary school education, the bonds are deep, even if they're not always evident. And thanks for joining in today - that crosshair Connie is my kinda watch. Art

... My heart is blue ...  

Great wrist shot.

. . . this was coming. ;-) . . .

And finally a tribute to the Observatory Chronometer from space ;-) Weekend nearly here! - have a good one all!! G. ...  

which do you like better? I know which one I favor.

difficult to choose, my friend. UN gets more wrist time, for sure. The GP running slow & needs a service, but prefer it on the steel bracelet. I think if it came down to selling one, I'd keep the UN - KM can live in hope ;-) Which one would you prefer? Ch... 

If that is a decision that is made, don't be surprised to read about a mail heist somewhere between the Firth of Forth and the Danube.

.....it'll be delivered in a vintage Mini with Union Jack painted on the roof (plus a couple of decoys) ;-)

Or Mark Wahlberg?

Let KM know he has no chance.

I best get Jason Statham on the job then 😉

Cheers, Giles

And have a great weekend too! Best, Giles.

Which are just as charming in the real

Hope the holidays are going well! Best, Giles.

As always with small children relaxing moments are few and far between but overall all is good Weird to be in a country where Pepsi is omnipresent and Coke is hard to find - with my Coca Cola consumption this is a bit of a challenge

Probably heresy - could never taste the difference. When my boys where 1 & 3 we went to Devon in our VW campervan (a hangover from kid free festivals / band days) - needless to say we came home a week early for a rest - I can imagine Pepsi is the leas... 

As Coke is my coffee substitute - so going without brings out caffeine withdrawal symptoms

... Over most of the Neo-vintage watches (omega and others) now in the market.

...  

It's a brand that is only now making more of an appearance here in the States. Very nice; and nice selection.

How far back did Bucherer start making their own watches?

But for the moment, I only have one manual winding I could also add: - The JLC MARK 11 For the Royal Australian Air Force: I am hunting a manual winding Omega Chronometer " big " case, a Zenith Cal 135. And if possible, a Peseux 260 in a steel case. Now, ...  

The Geophysic is as important as Bounce's Omega Co-axial in its way.

. . . one of the smaller Omega chronomètres, Nicolas. They've been appearing with astonishing regularity recently. And on the wrist, they're incomparably tasteful. Art

But any other chronometres you show would make me a very happy man! Have a nice week end my dear friend! Cheers! Abel

.. and the Vintage Geophysic is “beyond” anyway ! & PLUS the cool Air King, a bit summerly exuberant, but very cool ! All hard to beat, my friend, very had, ibdeed ! Cheers & HAGWE to you & yours ! Best, hs.

Any particular Peseaux 260 powered one you are after?

Kari Voutilainen also did some Peseaux 260 pieces, right?

. . . if memory serves correct.

The only chronometer in the house is the blue Roller ... unfortunately for the Roller the Sheik keeps a bit better time .... . On this picture i obviously didn't set one of them correctly ;-) . HAGWE fella's ! Bim ...  

And a cool one it is, too

While my most accurate watches are actually not COSC certified, here’s a selection of chronometer shots: Have a great weekend, all! ...  

And this being posted from a bona fide Polish wedding, too

The COSC certificate and box are signed by two different Zenith CEOs Thanks Nico!

Realy like your new Omega a lot

So do I - such a versatile piece 👍🏻

. . . is vintaaaaage . . . the next one . . . . . . is vintaaaaage . . ." ...  

As opposed to the first response I actually do have a concrete vintage Omega I am looking at but they are not that easy to find, especially in good condition. And I am sure you would find it difficult to guess, even if it has been an important watch in th... 

Art was over this afternoon and I happened to have this beauty from 1969 on today, so it was perfect timing. Art made me do it. Sorry about the hairy arms. ...  

And another great classical Omega Chronometer

. . . and glad you dropped to share that striking Omega chronometer. It looks right at home on your wrist. Art

and chronometers to boot. HAGWE! ...  

. . . take note.

Thanks for a great topic, Art - good to see you in full swing. Cheers, pplater. ...  

The BeBas are just superb

There’s a fantastic article on them hidden somewhere - well worth a read, Padj!

Long-time member SteveG (are you out there, Steve?) has an excellent summary on his ‘Launchpad’ site (and was very generous with further information); perhaps the best research, though, was published on this site by ‘Fenndalton’, who owns (owned?) one of ... 

. . . but forgotten you had two, much less one! My kinda indie . . . kudos, pplater. Art

...and as unconscionably decadent as it may sound, Art: regrettably, you were not the only one to have forgotten. YOU, however, have an excuse! Cheers, pplater.

Another chronometer. 😊 Cheers Fernando ...  

That’s a PSM I haven’t seen before

First time for me too.

So nice!

This legendary Seiko MarineMaster MM300 has a GS movement which goes to chronometer accuracy for me on the wrist .. always gives me +2 seconds a day which is absolutely fantastic.. ...  

. . . than Ohira-san . . . . . . runs exceptionally well, too. This might be the best performer . . . . . . in my collection. I've a few others in the same ballpark, but they're actual certified chronometers (albeit serviced). Art ...  

A aftermarket limited edition . ...  

Is that Bamford? The blue is really dramatic.

I see your superb Omega only when looking at the thread but not inside your post, Art. Still, a fantastic piece of chronometry

. . . but not to worry - pics of my chronometers will be posted shortly. PS - kudos on breaking 21K . . . you'll be passing my post count before you know it!

Did not even notice it And at my current pace this may take a very long while

... licence plate to open this week end WS thread which promises to gather a big array of very interesting pieces! I would like to play with some chronometers in my collection beginning with my favorites from Omega: the superb Connies! Ah yes I have added...  

And nice photographs.
