Have a great weekend everyone! Henrik...  

Did you put your black beauty on a new strap recently? I don't recall this medium brown leather strap! Cheers, Daos

Day & Month windows in combination with a pointer for the date are always my favorite. Cool watch. GEO

Love the watch the dial compliments the case colour really well. triple date with date pointer - great complication. Cheers JML

It's really classy and understated! Cheers, Daos

...  

Love the design, looks fantastic! Best, Filip

Glad you like it. I actually just got it yesterday.

Glad you like it.

Must say that I like it a lot. GEO

One more pic......  

... about this Swatch, Davo. Very clean lines and modern dial design. I guess Swatch can get away with the design when this would not suit many of their more 'traditional' companies. Thanks for showing us. Andrew

Glad you like it. This one's part of their 2008 Summer Irony Retrograde line, called "Serious Affair". I'm really enjoying this watch. It's quite a fun watch to wear and I've received several compliments about it so far....  

Can you tell us more about it? Is it RG with retrograde seconds? It looks like there is a power reserve and another indicator, as well. Were you looking to add a Swatch to the collection or was this just a fortuitous find? Cheers, Daos

The case material is actually PG plated stainless. The retrograde is their typical 30 seconds, and the other two arcs at 10 and 2 are 60 and 5min chrono displays. This message has been edited by Davo on 2010-02-27 11:05:15...  

The watch looks like lots of fun! Thanks for the information, Davo! Cheers, Daos

i love their retrograde displays on the chrono's and their steel cases making them far longer lasting than they used to be. i had a huge passion for them several years ago, but only have 1 irony chrono left i think. their only failing in my eyes is not pu... 

Tis a bit of a shame there's no auto mvt in it. But I have a feeling there will be something similar in an auto in the near future.

Watch is old...strap is new! Thank God it's... Rolex Day Date on an ABP strap...  

Love the colour of the strap against the gold of the Rolex case. You will have to share more about this Day Date on the Rolex Forum. Andrew

Thanks for sharing your photos! Have a great weekend! Cheers, Daos

What a beautiful watch. I'm hoping to be able to wear one someday. All the best.

Our Friday WS are impressive, Ansdrew... LIke a Museum on a wrist, don't you think? Hence, it is diffcult to not fall in love every 5 seconds... Best, Jim. Nicolas

its a simple, basic watch yet looks great. the picture is simple, but works well. nothing else i can add really, only ask which movement is inside it? best Graham

Fantastic watch. Cheers, Nilo

great watch Jeff !

your lovely caramel coloured croc nearly matches the lume perfectly. a vintage speedmaster gets my vote every day of the week. ironically, i'm into Omega's and your the Rolex moderator, but i'm wearing a Rolex and your wearing an omega. best Graham

I love more and more this dial, my friend. Classy and sporty at the same time. Let's wait and see what Rolex will do ( or not ) with this Dayto, this year... Catch you in a few hours, Pat! Best, Nicolas

HAGWE, Nilo...  

... just for me, didn't you? Another great image and watch, saved to my collection of Speedy's. I clearly need to find a suitable strap for mine. Andrew

Have a good day and WE, Cheers, Patrickh...

Older watches and younger women. You'll have to watch yourself, Graham. Nice statue by the way, and you have given me an idea for a future waist shot ... A

i've always had a penchant for the younger lady, but i think those days are long gone. my wife was quite a lot younger than me. sadly that didnt work out as we'd hoped through no ones fault. i dont have much to offer an attractive young woman unless i fin...

. . . délicieux!

My friend..... And no..... There is not too much brown... cheers

You didn't have enough chocolate, today? What a Day! To be followed on the JLC forum... I just made my selection of pictures. Best, my friend, it was a pleasure to meet you. Best, Nicolas

Looking forward to the next time cheers

as i'm helping to convert you to an Omegarist, your slowly turning me into a Rolexista. lovely aquisition with a perfect strap to match as always. best Graham

...  

What a super pic! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

Thanks for your kind words buddy. HAGWE! fernando

the B&R, the very limited Sinn U1 and the Hublot King All Black are i think, the most black of all the phantoms out there. my Lum-tec misses the mark a bit. one day i'll get another true all black watch. enjoy Graham

black though it is, it's surprisingly legible in the daytime.The others you mentioned are also good choices for a true phantom. HAGWE mate fernando

HAGWE .. Filip...

Nicely composed and photographed Fortis. Need a brown strap to complement the chess board and pieces! Well done. Andrew

We need to make Nicolas join the club, he has too many Rolex ;-) HAGWE! -- Richard.

I like the juxtaposition with the car dials. And good to see you idling on the side of the road for this shot; very responsible. A

you'll be able to do all sorts of timing exercises with it whilst driving home. on second thoughts your probably already home as its late on saturday night. best Graham

Very nice Dan, Now I know which watch to change to for next week. Looks great on your wrist, even for work. A versatile and dressy chrono with a fast beating heart. Andrew

...this watch is a pleasure to glance at throughout the day, the dial arrangement really lends itself to more formal requirements, it works great with a suit. Cheers, Dan

It seems, not few of us are in a classical mood today - so am I, wearing the Nomos Tangente for the first time in a couple of months since yesterday. I am astonished to find it running very accurately (only +2 sec in 24 hrs). (Pic is obviously not from to...  

A Nomos watch is, IMHO, the best watch for the money as a first purchase. I try to steer my friends to this (helps there is a dealer in town). G

Great watch - Its good to see the black rather than the red power reserve. What made you choose the black version? I have the red by the way. Cheers JML

Hi JML, I chose the black PR indication for those two reasons: 1. I think it looks "cleaner" that way (although I occassionally like a dot of colour on the dial, but not in such a classical Bauhaus design) 2. Red is an alarm colour to me, i.e. lots of red... 

And just to prove it '> Nomos with a little bit of colour Cheers JML...

if we're talking about colourful Nomos' then this must be a contender. apparently Rimini orange. best Graham...

and I only noticed now the style difference of the Arabics between the vintage and the modern version. GEO

hi GEO, to my knowledge, style of Arabics used on my vintage Glashutte is the most close to the modern GO. i saw some other invariants from internet, such as my other vintage Glashutte Q1 (please see attached pic) stefan...  

Sublime! Best, my friend. Nicolas

The differing fonts seem to be a sticking point with some in relation to the modern interpretation of this. Do you have any observations on this? Nice watch, btw. Andrew

thanks Andrew, here is the pic with date window that I took some time back, hope you find out some different. stefan...

Cute play on words. So, what were you using the chronograph to time, PeaceFrog? HAGWE, respo

but it was only my parking meter, or, more accurately, the timetag from one of those new solar-powered parking kiosks!

In the winning list, for me. HAGWE! Nicolas

I just saw some nice overcast lighting from the clouds and the JLC and Sony did the rest. (Chrysler Corp., Cabela's and Thomas Pink provided the props)!

I love this photo! You've really allowed the red on the JLC to POP! HAGWE! Cheers, Daos

JLC did a great job on this elegant & sporty piece, I never tire of looking at it and wearing it; I hope it doesn't become too mundane for other members on the WristScan days on which I'm able to participate!

I'll never tire of seeing it! Enjoy your weekend! Cheers, Daos

We have a Monday holiday in this neck of the woods, so it's time for eating out, stage shows and concerts all weekend. The holiday will be 'observed' in an appropriate fashion: Cheers, pplater....

Happy holidays! What, by the way, are we celebrating? How goes the cruise planning (*chortling*)? Cheers, Daos

... to be evil, Daos ??? The planning of a cruise goes very slowly and with great disorganisation - thankfully! The concept may yet be 'sunk' (if you'll pardon an atrocious pun). The holiday on Monday is a perverse public celebration: it is notionally for... 

...celebrate them at different times of the year. We celebrate our Labor Day in September. I will look forward to cruising updates! LOL! Cheers, and enjoy the holiday weekend! Daos

… that Labour Day is celebrated at different times in different states, or not at all in some areas. Western Australia and Victoria celebrate Labour Day in March, but a week apart. Queensland celebrate it in May, New South Wales and South Australia ... 

Flipped Arabics with triangles,... Best, Gary

Can't wait to see that description reflected in the 'census'! ;-) Cheers, pplater.

I just need to work out how to take them without getting pulled over by the police (they are blitzing mobile/cell phone usage at the moment) or killing myself! Nicely done. Andrew
