So, this week the theme is free, what ever watch you like to share! I will go with my "constant companion" this summer - the Rolex Explorer II. During whole July it was on my wrist (longest period of time the one and the same watch occupied my wrist since...  

Been on my wrist for most of the summer

Hiding from the heat...?! :) [nt]

Great mix! Best Blomman

Awesome collection hororgasm [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 9th, 2018-17:39

Finally going vintage!! Good to see, Horo . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 9th, 2018-17:52
. . . and, as another long-time Purist once remarked, it's remarkable how much satisfaction one can derive from such reasonable outlay. Oh, and your RS - ¡ay caramba!

Those were the days!!!

 
 By: Hororgasm : August 9th, 2018-09:55
Best, Horo

A classic!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 9th, 2018-10:41
Will be a good Friday! Best Blomman

Back to basics . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 9th, 2018-17:55
. . . and in spades - très cool.

Impressive for a watch that’s neither a GP nor a JLC :)

 
 By: KMII : August 9th, 2018-10:49
A great piece by any means and one that can easily be worn for a month non-stop Here’s my random selection: Have a great weekend! ...  

Very nice!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 9th, 2018-11:10
The first one is really my taste! HAGWE Blomman

Thank you, JML!

 
 By: KMII : August 9th, 2018-13:49
It is such an alluring piece indeed

I like your simple KMII [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 9th, 2018-17:40

Ah, the Minerva - the Alan Ladd . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 9th, 2018-18:01
. . . of watches. Compact, austere, but ever . . . . . . so striking. Vacation over? ...  

Not quite, fortunately...

 
 By: KMII : August 11th, 2018-00:33
Given that one snatches only snippets of relaxation with small kids around, it’s helpful if the vacation is a bit longer. Still got till the 19th Thanks for the cool comparison, Art

Thanks a lot, CC!

 
 By: KMII : August 11th, 2018-00:34
See little need for complications during holidays Even the date is a drag since it needs to be set and then it tells you how far you‘ve still got...

Thanks a lot HS111 :)

 
 By: KMII : August 12th, 2018-06:32
The first is definitely one of the more intriguing pieces. Have a great weekend!

Let's hope for a speedy recovery :)

 
 By: crown comfort : August 9th, 2018-11:03
Will enter with some shots tomorrow. CC

Yes, let's hope! [nt]

I think that is one of the reasons I really like this one! HAGWE Blomman

On my wrist all summer so far.

 
 By: NoH : August 9th, 2018-11:10
Nato helping with the heat (and so is the incoming ice-cream!) All the best, ...  

That's a JLC we do not often see here! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 9th, 2018-11:13
Thank you for showing yours here! Enjoy your ice-cream! HAGWE Blomman

Didn't have time to change this morning

 
 By: Nick : August 9th, 2018-12:34
Fredrique Constant Notify. For whatever reason the only vibration alarm watch I've found that reliably gets me up in the morning. ...  

Interesting watch, never saw before!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 9th, 2018-15:17
Have you tried a ringing alarm watch such as the Memovox? Best Blomman

No, needs to vibrate

 
 By: Nick : August 9th, 2018-15:33
Sound alone doesn't do it for me unfortunately. Also the memovox alarm is much shorter. This thing pretty much goes until it's turned off.

You should try the Grand Memovox, there you may choose...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 10th, 2018-01:21
But the alarm will only last about 20 sec. Best Blomman

Just returned

 
 By: jml_watches : August 9th, 2018-13:37
Hi All So just had my Memovox returned after being away for six months, posted it a bit this last week - but some more seems appropriate to celebrate its return. Some more from earlier Memovox overload - if there's such a thing Cheers JML ...  

Great to see it back, JML! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 9th, 2018-15:19
Such a lovely watch! Best Blomman

Thanks - I'd started to miss it so it's good to have it back.

 
 By: jml_watches : August 9th, 2018-22:53
It's also a really nice size & good reminder that don't always need to go large! Cheers JML

Beautiful JML [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 9th, 2018-17:42

Some day, we should have a theme devoted to our watchmakers . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 9th, 2018-16:36
. . . without whom we'd be totally lost. Here's hoping your Explorer returns soon, Blomman. Black Connie was serviced last year, but after slumbering practically all that time, wasn't running well at all. My watchmaker regulated her on Monday, and voilà! ...  

Stunning Dr No [nt]

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 9th, 2018-17:42

Fabulous Omega…

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 10th, 2018-00:36
True classic.

Ohhhhh this one sets my heart a-flutter

 
 By: NT931 : August 10th, 2018-05:08
Black honeycomb dial, crosshairs, arrowhead hour markers, no date.... classic, classy, killer!!

If I had to have only one watch . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 11th, 2018-10:27
. . . it would be Black Connie. Released to the West German market in '57 ten days before I was released into Los Angeles County ;-) . . .

Beautiful …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : August 10th, 2018-00:38

Back again...

 
 By: claes_t : August 10th, 2018-02:00
This has been on my wrist for about 6 months straight. The strap only gets better. ...and this one just came back from the watchmaker after som TLC HAGWE all! ...  

Welcome B--A--C--K

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : August 10th, 2018-02:09

 By: saso : August 10th, 2018-02:00
My 5235G somewhere in Japan back in May. (Wow, the image compression does not treat the sub dials nicely.) ...  

Lovely regulator! [nt]

Here it is: my wife's watch

 
 By: Boris : August 10th, 2018-02:50
I haven't given it to her yet, her birthday is in 3 weeks, so I just wore it a bit this morning for my own enjoyment. ...  

To break it in...?! ;)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 10th, 2018-03:01
Very nice, congrats in advance to your wife! Best Blomman

 By: crown comfort : August 10th, 2018-05:52
As this summer has been really hot and still is, I'm now at a point where not even bracelets or rubber straps are tolerable, only Nylon feels fresh... So why not combine a blue NATO with a blue dial Best, CC ...  

Great blue combo! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 10th, 2018-06:19
The John Harrison dial is just fantastic! Best Blomman

It is, but this one it not a J Harrison dial :)

 
 By: crown comfort : August 10th, 2018-06:54
J Harrison dial always have the small seconds and 42mm case.

I’ll play with my latest addition.
