Since 40 minutes for me HAGWE...  

… after a week with a pocket watch is this classic; and it feels good. Don’t understand why some people were slow to adopt the wrist watch after the First World War. No introduction required for this one …...  

What are we to do, Nicolas still hasn't caught on to this great piece? HAGWE, -- Richard.

if i'm right he bought a 1965 105.003 a couple of months ago. best Graham

-- Richard....  

very nice Richard, i've always liked the broad arrow, but never owned one. having checked out the omega website today to reply to Pete i can see that there are a lot of nice choices to be had from the meteorite to the solar impulse. best Graham From: www ... 

A pictorial evidence... Best, Nicolas...  

Great catch! Plus, now you are certified for Space Missions ;-) Enjoy! -- Richard.

my offering for the week is a vintage Omega, but not a speedy. best Graham

Thanks Graham, While the colours and pattern in the jacket are a little exaggerated in that photo, it does demonstrate how versatile the Speedy Pro is; it can be easily dressed up or down. Regards Andrew

SInce I'm working, from here, on a project that targets Sweden ... let's say it's Friday, of a very long week. Using a Sub LN (Lunette Noire). A great weekend to all, Nilo...  

I'm doing a series of the recently discontinued Rolex models ("the departed" - translates to Portuguese as "fresh corpses"): - GMT II - Sub date - Sub LV/LN - SD Some day I will post the entire series, on the Rolex area, and the "making of". Cheers, Nilo

And i love to see the photos of the entire series!

...(which I am still sorting out), I wish it was Friday now! Since posting my review of it this week, I've been missing this beauty. HAGWE! Daos...  

after all these years with mechanic wacth(es) on the wrist all the time, I got this as a gift (or more of appreciation) HAGWE everyone...  

Traveling in South America right now, and you can feel the enthusiasm for soccer all around the city. The 'Snoopy' giveaways were so cute I had to take this picture: Have a great weekend!!! Regards, ED-209...  

...  

This one is growing on me....might just have to hook up with one....someday ! Nice Pic ;-) Best Drew

Here is my new (well, pre owned) purchase. And Nicolas, you won't have to ask me to post additional photos - please check out my "ladies' watch week" post on HoMe for more details. Hope you folks in LA have a good weekend. Ginger Ulysse Nardin Michaelange...  

And he bought it for her while we were in Italy together... I know this watch very well, Ginger. I even tried it, and I loved it. Nice catch! Best, my friend. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-06-17 21:37:55

i dont know why this model doesnt get much airtime as it is a great shape. perhaps its more suited to a ladies wrist than a gents and we are very short on lady purists. one never knows why some are often seen and others rarely seen. one of lifes mysteries... 

And I like the Michaelangelo better in the smaller sizes - some of UN's designs don't scale well (IMHO) and get overwhelming in the really large watches. Have fun this week, G

i have a similar feeling about the current sizes. our Ludwig perpetual is the perfect size in my opinion, yet they make them bigger and bigger. as for the week, sunday wont be much fun i think. its fathers day in UK and my first year with no children arou... 

...  

but my choice would be picture number one, in most of the cases Beautiful! Oliver

sometimes i need to squeeze time for another lovely watch. to be frank, this ap is on my wrist for 2 weeks continously. cheers

Can´t see any problem ...

HAGWE to All, Nicolas...  

Base PAM's are, in my opinion the best looking Panerai's. All that history in a simple dial with a nice vintage strap to match.

But a Pre V... The " PAM " is related to watches which came since 1997. In the Pre V era, the code is 5218 - 2xx or 3xx. Best! Nicolas

HAGWE, my friend. I will show you what I am wearing tomorrow...It is still Thursday here. -- Richard.

also I couldn´t imagine that one on my wrist. But that´s me ... HAGWE Oliver

Or is it a " complex simplicity "? This guillochage is sublime, my friend. HAGWE, Nicolas

and I'm going my GS with new custom Gator strap and GS deployant buckle. Sooo loving this one ;-) HAGWE All...  

sadly i had to sell my vintage GS's, but one day i will get another more modern one. i'd like a modern handwind. the finish on these pieces is superb, easily as good as many swiss brands. the Japanese should be very proud of their watchmaking prowess, esp... 

I love the details in this watch. The case, dial and finish all look great. Nice pictures that do it justice too. Thanks! Andrew

an old picture and a bad shot...  

It's lunchtime! Enjoying a juicy burger, some fries, and my AP today... This message has been edited by Davo on 2010-06-17 23:21:14...  

AP is growing on me.Hope it enjoys some wrist time for many years to come,cheerz

Love to see great watches in ordinary places, Davo. Nice shot as usual. And lunch doesn't look too bad either! Andrew

HAGWE all....  

that you still appreciate the "basics" HAGWE Oliver

I'm always :back to basics,as they are such a source of pleasure! HAGWE my friend.

HAGWE, -- Richard.

…that has been around lately, made me long for something old! Looked in the back of my safe and found this 35 year old lady. Wearing her today with great pleasure HAGWE Blomman...  

it seems a shame that its been at the back of the safe for a long time. best Graham

This one deserves more wrist time… I will have to make a change Best Blomman

... dating with her should make you smile all the day dial color looks really nice, what was the original color? stefan

Thanks, Stefan! Yes, a date with her does put a smile on my face Original colour blue, faded into a copper brown… Best Blomman

... it means my blue Memo that is the same as your model will be turning into copper brown too? i think i need to wear mine more often especially exposing it under Sun. stefan

... it means my blue Memo that is the same as your model will be turning into copper brown too? i think i need to wear mine more often especially exposing it under Sun. stefan

Tell me one thing, my friend: Is the box of your watch blue or brown? It should be blue, normally. If it is the case, I may have the solution, which would arrange you and me. Best, Nicolas

Thank you, Nicolas! The box is brown, purchased the watch incl. box and paper from an auction house some years ago. I was under the impression that the blue boxes was before the brown ones?! Best Blomman

To me, the brown box came before the blue one, which started in the early 70ies, my friend. So, the blue may be the correct one for your E 875, while the brown may be the good one for my E 855. Best, my friend. Nicolas

I have 6 JLC’s from the late 60 th and early 70 th with brown boxes. The blue boxes I have are in worse condition and I got separate without watch, so I have always assumed they were older… But when you think of if, the 90 th boxes are blue, so I might be... 

I will make a stack of my Vintage JLC boxes... That may be as fun as interesting. Best, Nicolas

Looking forward to see that stack! Best Blomman

Then, I will need to find a nice place, neutral, to enhance and to focus on them. I think I have something like 11 or 12 Vintage boxes. The good thing is that it will be less dangerous than with watches! Best, Nicolas

Today is the 70th anniversary of General De Gaulle's resistance statement after the fall of France to the Nazi's. That's what is in French that you can not read. Cheers, -- Richard.

Oliver, that it is always sunny in the South of France is simply the difference between there and Germany, sorry. Your consolation is ALS is in Germany ;-) Enjoy Patrice! -- Richard.

Next week is the official beginning of summer and I will be in Paris ... assume what I will have on the wrist ;-)

My Bedat No.8 Big Date. I just love the details and finish of this watch....

So i'll try to enjoy it for two I also don't know much about Bedat. It has an ETA movement with big date. The attention to detail on the dial and case finish is just remarkable. Some of the details you just have to see "live" as these things can't get cap...

nice pics, one of my favourites too. I see Maurice De Mauriac has picked up on the woven leather strap design now....  

Good to see this example of Bedat being followed. MdM is slowly evolving into a more interesting brand by the way. Thanx for sharing!

How does like your new memo? Different shape, different feel… Different love Best Blomman

... for me, after having this new Memo, it has become my new love, it is really good looking watch wearing for weekends. the good thing is not only its funky look, but also its larger size for modern days : -) stefan

As a coincidence, I'm working on finding THE strap for the same Memo than yours... Well, the same, but with a different dial... Gorgeous outcome, by the way! Best, my friend. Nicolas
