27th and 28th of April 2018 Wrist Scan Session starts now! Free theme.
For me, the same watch since the 14th of April. For you? The three first to answer will be the judges of this session. Best, Nicolas ...
I like the way . . .
. . . you select judges, Nicolas. Off to my watchmaker in a few hours to retrieve this uncommon Omega chronometer . . . . . . after needed servicing. It was actually running ok according to my timing tests, but when my watchmaker put it on his timing mach...
Beautiful Seamaster, Art!
What reference is it? I like the way the dial text form a pyramid topped with the Omega logo! Best. René
It's a Norman Morris edition, René . . .
. . . so, while the Swiss equivalent would be OT2909 (which truly qualifies for 'rare' status), this one has an American designation, 9082 . I'm not sure if the steel and steel/gold clad versions have separate reference numbers, but my guess is they're di...
Wow, thanks for the info, Art
You’re truly a walking enciclopedia, it very good to have you here! This watch has several characteristics that set it apart from other Omegas. A special one. I will put more attention to this Seamasters, which I tend to prefer over the Constellations, bu...
After doing a little research, I've just located three more ref OT 2909s . . .
. . . on the internet. That makes four confirmed examples in a dozen years of collecting. It's definitely a rare reference. Bumper chronometer Seamasters are practically common by comparison. Art
I appreciate the information Art
Thanks a lot, I will surely put more attention to this reference. Best. René
Swiss production reference number to look for . . .
. . . is 2989. Just gleaned this info from research. Best of luck, René!
The different tones of ivory are an effect . . .
. . . caused by radial grain in the perimeter, N. A dead-on view brings out the two-tone effect; an angled view shows consistent coloration throughout the dial. Art
I'd been looking for one since forever, Abel . . .
. . . but, unlike 910 Flightmasters, which came up often (but only when my account was empty!), these 505 Seamasters practically never appeared. You can search far and wide for them, and not have any luck for years on end. I was fortunate to stumble onto ...
Aboslutely agree dear Art: some watches we look for desperately keep being far for our reach for years... till Cosmos alignate favourably for us and suddenly they cross our path!...
... hopefully when our pockets are not empty! Lol! It had happened to me many times, sometimes with my empty pockets and sometimes with some extra cash in them!! Lol! I can imagine you needed a lot of extra efforts to put it in running condition, but now ...
A truly superb piece, Art!
I think we will have our conversation about vintage Omegas soon
One can feel te joy of wearing your Air-king in that picture, Nico 😉
Now here goes mine This little shinny Mido. Best. René ...
You’re welcome!
This are little appreciated watches sometimes, and we tend to keep them on the watch box, but when we remember, they bring a lot of joy. Please post pictures! Best. René
Thank you hs!
Yes, it is nice to have it, even more if it was your father’s! More cherry on the cake! HAGWE! René
This air king really looks fantastic
What a perfect watch for the upcoming summer. I have a feeling we’ll be seeing more
1h50 AM Paris time but 19h50 local time... (Hello from Pointe à Pitre)
isn't it what a GMT Master is all about ? ...
Yes Mike indeed, thank you for your time and your insightful advices
that's a pity we forgot a picture of this small GTG.
Merci my friend unfortunately the only relaxing time I could find...
...was at the airport to meet with Tyo who was there by chance on my way back home after a one week business marathon. It is a bit frustrating to visit dream places but never have the time to enjoy and relax. C'est la vie
A few random shots
Hi All A few random shots that appealed this morning Cheers JML ...
just the one groupscan for the evening....
I am sure Miles has a few in his box. I love the 5970P...a lot...I mean a LOT. But the 5970G is the King. Just is.
amongst the other metals....
....i prefer the P more. Against the standardg G, Y or R...I like the black dial P a decent amount more. But against the Salmon G....the latter would be my choice by a comfortable margin. The contrast between the white metal and that shade of salmon is pu...
Wow, my friend.. What a wristshot !.. Love them all.. But maybe the salmon dial a bit more !
Actually, didn‘t know you had that very Reference ! Thx for the kind sharing ! Best, hs )
Apparently...
...there is a small, independent hero movie coming out this week. Here's my take on it: ...
Very nice!
Is the green tinge to the dial a reflection of the surroundings or a new model of the Turtle?
From earlier this week.
Something old, about as old as myself actually, from my favourite country. I have a soft spot for many things Seiko, but more so the older stuff. ...
Playing with the new arrivals
Two very different vintage watches, both 38mm, but as different as black and white ...
thanks KMII and watch-guy!
I love the typography of some of these old Doxas; the '8' is especially charming and quirky
I love your personal system to name your Jury dear Nicolas! Lol! And I’m...
... also very happy to see how much you enjoy your AK!! A lovely timepiece indeed and with a great meaning behind it! Here is my battery for this week end. Three watches for Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting with the Big Pilot today. The dial of the Gr...

Almost can‘t wait to see Paris again - guess I‘ll have to work a bit upon that !
You are persuading me …
I will see it next week and make my decision. Watch this space !
Before you posted your response…
I made my list and they match exactly ! That’s quite funny.
A new style of strap for an old friend...
Quite enjoying it I have to say. HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
So Nicolas
I am surprised at this choice of watch for you... What do you love about it? And I have no agenda at all. Just asking!
I guess I was late... Hehe... Oh well, today is the best Sunday ever
With the recent incoming of the first diver watch ever! 😄 The Marine 1932 Well... It was overpolished and the outer crystal is a bit shaky... So perhaps I'll do something quick about it later on Monday... On my wrist, seems small like how 1930es sizes are...
