A Seiko 6105-8110 from July 1974. Not the best one but I love the style of the case and the crystal reflexes. Just like the movie, Apocalypse Now - 1979, it "smells like a victory". A great weekend to all, Nilo...
And your watches as well ! You even made me turn around my laptop to identify your wife´s watch - your wife either has a excellent taste in watches or is very obedient to her husband´s equally superb "propositions" . Hope you enjoyed your coffee! Best reg...
Hi Doc, Sorry to make you stand on your head. Here’s another pre-rotated shot of the Reverso Memory. Obedient is not how one would describe my lovely wife. The obverse is more apt, and a Reverso therefore seems appropriate. She does, however, have excelle...
Some baristas go to such lengths to make nice patterns in the crema (is that what its called???). I'm sometimes in two minds whether to break it up straight away or show some respect and preserve it a while. Regards, Richard.
Hi Richard, You are absolutely correct about crema. This is the brown coloured layer of fats, dissolved flavenoids and aromatics that floats on the surface of your coffee due to the release of carbon dioxide from the beans during extraction. Good latte ar...
Thanks Stefan, The Memory is housed in the 39x23mm Classic case, so is a little larger than the standard 'ladies' Reverso, but on bracelet it suits her perfectly. She picked this out very quickly, not because of the continuous flyback minute counter, but ...
hi Andrew, you just reminded that your wife's watch is Reverso Memory? it is discontinued and was just produced in one year or so. very interesting function, but not sure why MJLC did not continue to make it in longer term? maybe Nico knows the answer? st...
Hi Stefan The Reverso Memory (Ref. 255.08.82), as far as I can tell, was discontinued in 2002 after being produced for 3 or 4 years. All I can assume is that it did not sell well. But that just makes it all the more interesting. The main dial is just perf...
Your coffee and your Sub is almost matching! You have a splendid Sub, Andrew. Are you considering getting another Vintzge Rolex, now? Best, my friend. Nicolas
I'm really enjoying this watch for the vintage styling with a modern technical marvel movement, its mesmerizing ! one of my all time favorite for sure Drew
thanks Drew, just a bit of a laugh pic wise. there's no real need to save up for a nice vintage Omega unless you want a mint 57 speedie or SM300. for the cost of the NSA's strap you could buy a perfectly decent constellation. best Graham
My Friday wristscan shot at an elevation of 762ft above Honolulu at the top of Diamond Head I brought along my trusty travel watch, a Breitling Aerospace, overlooking the famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii: Have a great weekend! Regards, ED-209 This...
The perfect beater! Strong built and in a size that goes well with both suit and leisure. A perfect one to bring to the gym, go diving or hiking, just put a rubber strap on and you are ready to go! Best Blomman
Another Memo I thought about a lot on the way to my perfect Memo. So, I found my perfect alarm, why can't I find my perfect Reverso? Love your MCM on the red strap. A dynamic combo. HAGWE, respo
I have not YET handled even the Chronographe Retrograde that I shamelessly lust after. But the Minute repeater is, for me the OTHER most awesome Reverso from that 1990s rose gold anniversary collection. Both are just stunning examples of what MJLC can do....
Thanks Respo – the red strap together with the red details on the MCM is my favourite! If it was easy to find the perfect one… It wouldn’t be any fun! HAGWE Blomman
Wore the green kermit for an afternoon swim at the pool where I did 30 laps. Wearing my speedy on a nato for washing plates later at work. Tough work but it's needed. I CERTAINLY HOPE YOU LOOK AT THE BRIGHT GOOD LIFE AHEAD OF YOU AND SMILE GRAHAM! It'll b...
Just a quiet one with my Nautilus By the way, the MAC photouploader is not working currently. I tried several times over a couple of hours today with no luck. Had to use flickr for this particular post. I left a note on the Help Desk. HAGWE Richard....
Hi Graham, The blue tongues we have down here are a type of large skink. They have bright blue tongues and will hiss at you and display this when cornered. But they are basically harmless and quite slow moving and make great pets. And they love snails and...
