 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-09:41
.. and that is why the theme this week is EASY on you Just go through your HDD and post whatever you consider one of your best! HAGWE! Ken...  

Ouh that's a nice Harbring

 
 By: Mark in Paris : March 27th, 2014-09:55
with a long central second hand , display I like a lot. A watch you crossed by or new or.... ? For me, it is my usual Nautilus ...  

That is my made-to-order 36mm jumping second Habring2...

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-10:34
.. for coloring, type of the index, hands, dial.... all of them are carefully chosen with the advice and CAD picture by them. Very, very well made, great finish, accuracy - I have no complaint at all.... And, nice Nautilus!!! Thank you! Ken

Very nice

 
 By: Mark in Paris : March 27th, 2014-15:11
and I prefer this dial to the one with small second sub dial at 9. Congratz Ken.

Good one Ken.

 
 By: fernando : March 27th, 2014-17:49
Nice design! The date would bother some though. :) Best fernando

I argued whether the date window be...

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-18:06
.. 4:30 or 6... but it settled down as it is now.. :-) Thank you, fernando! Ken

Looks great, Ken!

Greedy, NO! Passionate, YES! ;) [nt]

That owns a few chronos...! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

Sharp blomman.

Great watch with the beautiful background! Ken

Nice pics. Vlad!

 
 By: fernando : March 27th, 2014-17:53
Are they taken with the new camera? Best fernando

Love the first shot

 
 By: AndrewD : March 28th, 2014-03:00
The rich yellows brings out the patination. A watch that has grown on me over many years. Thanks, Nico. Andrew

A pleasure watch, my friend. Highly recommendable.

 
 By: amanico : March 28th, 2014-03:05
Thanks for your kind words! Best, Nicolas

For a Vampire....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 28th, 2014-10:05
You use a lot of garlic...! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman

I didn't think vampires liked being near the water?

Isn't roof tops more your thing? -- Rchard.

Sweet, sweet, sweet! Looks like you are definitively mastering your new Leica!

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 28th, 2014-13:16
HAWGE my dear friend! Abrazos pampeanos! Abel.

Here's one you might like, Ken . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 27th, 2014-12:01
. . . a rarely seen Glashütte Meißen tourbillon . . . . . . from '09. I remember a Senator Meißen in your collection at one time; these are truly wonders of watchmaking that too few seem to appreciate. Best, Art ...  

Oh, my sweeeeet spot.....

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-17:51
.. very, very nice dial indeed! Ken

Aahhh.. That is a really elegant & modest keeper !.. Really love your GO from all sides !

 
 By: hs111 : March 27th, 2014-21:43
.. This one is such a pleasure to look at Best and HAGWE ! hs

If only it were mine, hs! Those images . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 28th, 2014-11:01
. . . were taken almost five years ago at an exhibit of G O novelties in Los Angeles. Ken owned a Senator Meißen at one time, so I thought he might like to see the tourbillon model. Best, Art

Protrusion, perhaps? . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 29th, 2014-12:07
. . . with the tourbillon interrupting the serenity of the porcelain dial? That's my perspective as well, Nicolas. A description on the dial would've been more discreet, and in the long run, more charming. Agreed, Art

Today ...

 
 By: alain2701 : March 27th, 2014-12:08
and tomorrow ... ...  

I love vintage!

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-17:53

Very nice pair! :)

I had a chance to do a little diving so here is a fresh shot. Still wet. Bill ...  

You mean stop lifting weights

 
 By: Bill : March 27th, 2014-15:09
That is all muscle mon ami.... LOL A+

LOL! Excellent. [nt]

Thanks bim

Those are kinder words that nico's. LOL

A great shot!

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-17:54
Taking the pic of yourself under water is new, Bill! Ken

For a Rolex

 
 By: Bill : March 28th, 2014-05:04
In or under water suits it fine. HAGWE Bill

Super cool, Bill ! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 28th, 2014-10:07

Always fun under water

 
 By: Bill : March 28th, 2014-11:33
The strange thing in my other hand has little teeth that stick to your hand within a few second and it secures it self. It does not hurt but very cool. Bill

Love to see the divers being used

 
 By: AndrewD : March 28th, 2014-11:05
Superb 'action' shot. Thanks! Andrew

My watchmaket said I was good to go to 10 bar

 
 By: Bill : March 28th, 2014-11:35
So who am I to doubt him. Bill

That's an important reminder ...

 
 By: AndrewD : March 28th, 2014-13:39
Don't dive with vintage watches unless they have been pressure tested. So 10 Bar is 100 meters or 328 feet. Enjoy, Bill. Andrew

Call crazy but not stupid.

 
 By: Bill : March 28th, 2014-15:00
The Rolex has not been in service for 5 years but have grown to trust its dependability. The Seiko is fresh and pressure tested. Best Bill

very cool! Matt [nt]

 
 By: MattS : March 28th, 2014-12:31

I have to agree.

 
 By: Bill : March 28th, 2014-15:01
Always fun to below the the ocean surface. Bill

Hi Bill! Always fun to view a Rolex Sub/SD doing what it was intended for...

 
 By: Subexplorer : March 28th, 2014-13:27
... Diving! As an old sport scuba diver I enjoy these pictures so much! I have been scuba diving since the mid 1960´s, and guess what I always had on my left wrist? Have a great week end Bill! Very cordially Abel.

Rolex and water are great.

 
 By: Bill : March 31st, 2014-21:15
Rolex and underwater is even better. Bill

Had the chance wearing this one ...

 
 By: bimbeano : March 27th, 2014-16:45
.. for a day ... Not mine off course :-( ... but my friends are good ... :-) Bim ...  

Nice Rolex, bim!

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-17:54

Lucky you! That is one which crosses my mind, from time to time.

 
 By: amanico : March 27th, 2014-22:59
I love the YM, and I wouldn't mind getting a second one... With a blue dial, this time. Lovely! Best, Filip. Nicolas

Very nice contrast -

Hi All Still wearing this - especially after such a long hiatus Cheers JML ...  

Lovely...

 
 By: KIH : March 27th, 2014-17:55

Bravo, my friend. I too wear the same watch much longer.

 
 By: amanico : March 28th, 2014-03:07
It is the best way to increase our horological pleasures! Best, Nicolas

Hi Great pictures of yours. Quick question - are they quick removal straps on yours? Do JLC now provide them, or do you need to go elsewhere. Cheers JML

Thanks for nice comments.. Re : straps / rapid removals :..

 
 By: hs111 : March 28th, 2014-12:31
The watches shown all have regular pins and std straps . As per the "retractable" rapid removals, I think to have heard that JLC now has those also (?) I do have a couple of them for some other watches, where I more frequently change: - Mine come from a t...

To look up how to set the moon Phase? A classic watch! :) HAGWE Blomman

Was off my wrist far too long

 
 By: jml_watches : March 28th, 2014-11:48
Hi As it had been off my wrist for an age - needed to go back and check. It's not so much the pushers, but remembering at what times you can't change moon phase or date. It's good to be wearing it again Cheers JML

My recent arrival.

 
 By: fernando : March 27th, 2014-18:04
Can't seem to be able to take it off. :) You still have yours Ken? HAGWE! fernando ...  

Of course! That is my favorite Lange 1 !

Thanks, Ken!

 
 By: Gary G : March 28th, 2014-06:09
Great to have generous friends who lend their watches out to an amateur photog like myself! Best, Gary

Low angle helps...

 
 By: Gary G : March 28th, 2014-06:11
That gold dial is gorgeous in person but a bugger to capture photographically -- I got lucky with this shallow angle shot and side lighting. Thanks for your note! Best, Gary

that is simply

 
 By: donizetti : March 28th, 2014-09:57
one of the best Journe shots ever!! Best, Andreas

Appreciate it, Andreas!

I can't decide

 
 By: cazalea : March 28th, 2014-07:15
Nature, garden, round - as a watch should be Steel, Car, Rectangular, Leather, etc as a machine should be Gold, Blue, Moon, Regulator, tradition! I like them all. I can't decide. Should I pick a modern, curved watch? Look at those eyes ... he's losing pat...  

That is the beauty of "open" theme while...

 
 By: KIH : March 28th, 2014-08:54

Why choose....

I was pleased with the way this one turned out. It was a few months ago and I had just put on this new gator with a secret red lining -- brought a little more energy to the Chopard Tech QF, I think. Had it on my wrist this week. HAGWE! CaliforniaJed ...  

Good taste, my friend!
