In 30 minutes, it will be Friday, in Paris.
To celebrate it, a wrist shot of a watch which was one of my favourite companion during these holidays, and a nice reminder of a great time: HAGWE! Nicolas...
Last week ...
... i was ready to start the WS-thread .... BUT .... some crazy French guy did it before me .... LOOOOOOOOL .... Ze Biem
A little bit unusual to be on my wrist…
I haven’t had this one on my wrist for a very long time. HAGWE Blomman...
Naaah, Blomman, you also have a Panerai???
Pam 111? You're a man full of surprises! Best, Nicolas
I don't know who's more surprised, Nico . . .
. . . you, or me! It looks like Mr Vintage rolls with the Jet Set, too ;-) . . .
Mr Vintage…?
Is that a new nickname for Nicolas?! Rolling with the Jet Set..? Na, that’s not me! Best Blomman
Hey, Hawkeye!
Yes, it’s my PAM 111! Had it since forever… or at least 7 years… Usually one of my summer watches (on a rubber strap). But this summer she didn’t came out to play at all… I have many times thought that maybe let her go for something else. But every time I...
Well, it was quite easy, don't you think?
Did you stop your journey into Panerai with this Luminor Marina, or were you further? Best, Nicolas.
Well…
To be honest, the only brand I feel I can say that I have made a journey in would be JLC. All other brands I might been sniffing around but never taking a trip…! I really like the base models of Panerai, as you know I like clean dials. What could be...
Now it's friday :-) ...
Still deciding ..... My cat is a bit angry at you Nicolas !!! .....
Filip, have you posted about that F.C. in the middle before?
I'd like to see more and learn more about that one. The group shot is lovely. Best, respo
I did ..
... but just one or two pictures .... I'll try to take some descent pics this weekend. filip
Root...
A truly classic my friend... Your back ground was my watch lovely bed :o) HAWGE Best Chung...
You certainly know how to make holidays last, Nico ...
Great shoy of the RO and it's hard to believe that watch and design was so far ahead of its' time. Certainly looks great today, though! Andrew
I have become predictable ...
The Octa RdM is still on my wrist, but at least I can show you a photo you haven't seen. The darn thing is just so perfectly weighted and sized and comfortable. I don't even want to take it off in the evenings....
Well, perhaps you've found your perfect watch, Andrew . . .
. . . maybe it's time to quit while you're ahead ;-) . . .
This half is perfect, but ...
... the other half lacks that whirligig tourbillon thingummy. But the unanswerable question at the moment is: would I wear a Tourbillon Souverain all the time, or would it be too 'special'? And it's really too early to tell if this is the watch. But I hav...
The funny thing is ...
I just got around to re-reading my first post back in 2005 and I see that I had written: "Now I just to save up for the other watches that stole my heart in Singapore: the Lange 1815 Chronograph (the movement reminds me of my Grandfathers pocket watch) an...
Theme
One of the few watches I can think of where the bracelet follows the theme established by the dial. Stunning combination, Julian. Andrew
Even if I am not a colored gold fan, I can only admire this gorgeous PP, Julian. [nt]

New arrival about 4 hours ago...
My nephew that is... ................................... not the watch. HAGWE, Regards, Richard....
Congratulations....
May he have a long and happy life.... As a start, I think that you should promise him this watch, as it is his first wristshot, for his 18th birthday... HAGWE Cheers
Thanks PP...
Perhaps, but maybe for the 21st birthday. Depends on if the parents will allow me to turn him into a WIS or not. Regards, Richard.
Thanks Richard...
Absolutely a great reason (not that I've ever really bothered with reasons before). Regards, Richard.
Congrats, Richard!
And congrats to the parents! A great classic tool watch you got there! Best Blomman
IWC today
A really nice watch (not a vintage this week) that doesn't get the wrist time it deserves - a 34mm Portofino with gold Arabic markers. I am wearing it right now, but chose to photograph it on the unspoiled upholstery of a new piece of furniture delivered ...
The watch really pops out of that photo
Well done, really like that shot. GEO Sorry this line should have been underneath Nico's photo This message has been edited by Geo on 2010-09-02 23:44:50
Thanks a lot, Geo.
With such a bakground, the watch had to be at the same level... Best, Nicolas
Aaargh, Patrice...
If this one reintegrated my short list, it is all your fault! Best, Nicolas
Exquisite, Patrice . . .
. . . both the photo in aesthetic terms as well as the watch . . .
I'm afraid you might....
change your mind about the yellow metal once you start. Never knew you had such a lovely AP! Nice pic. by the sea;my favorite location. Best fernando
Well, Fernando, I have something in mind, and will see
In 2 weeks if it works... With a bit of luck, this time. Best, Nicolas
Don´t tell me it starts with a ...
C and ends with a t. If so, I wish you good luck Wish you good luck anyway. Oliver
Can't say nothing, my friend...
I have to make a deal with one of my friends, and as I am a bit superstitious... You now me well, obviously. Best, Nicolas
hi Richard
looking Good :0)) did you have the BP Serviced here in the U.S if i may ask ?!. cause my local AD told me that "in General" they send all the BPs to Switzerland. !??? mine looks like it needs a Spa as well (16 Seconds fast per day).. Cheers good weekend T...
Superb, Richard.
As per a funny coincidence, I played a lot with my G.O Senator Navigator, this week. A kind of close cousin of yours. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Yes, your piece wants to visit her American cousin...
So purchase a plane ticket for her Nicolas! ;-) LOLOLOL Wonderful piece you have my friend. It is really nice having the 5002 back on my wrist. HAGWE! -- Richard.
The big fly boy! :)
Looks strong, Richard! That one has been on my non JLC wish list for ages… One day…! Best Blomman
I love this watch so much, Matt.
We'll have to organise a photo session for this one! Best, Nicolas
In the meantime...
Here is a better, less compressed shot from this lot. Matt This message has been edited by MattS on 2010-09-04 10:11:50...
Very good looking Chrono, Livius.
One we don't often see, therefore. Thanks for the pictures! Best, Nicolas
Cousins enjoying each others company!
I had the fortune, to catch these two sitting side by side. HAGWE...
I really like the 5726 ...
and with a steel bracelet it would be impossible to resist Thanks for sharing. Oliver
Exhibit 'A' in the case for . . .
. . . simplicity, elegance, and proportionality. Very tasteful all the way around, and the strap is well matched, too . . .

i suppose no watch is really 'simple', but lets leave the insides where they belong i do enjoy picking these up for a few pennies (comparatively speaking of course) and adding them to my ever growing collection of watches from 'the purists year' 1964. i h...
Well, Graham…
I can a sure you, that you are not alone! The problem is to find these “ few pennies “ watches and know what you gets! I would love to start building a 1969 collection. But I don’t have the knowledge… Best Blomman
hi Blomman, the trick...
hi Blomman, the trick is to start with something you know, like a JLC in your case, learn to read the seller, get all the information you can and make sure you have a safe payment system. most importantly you need to research research and research. it wor...

Like Mrs Tealby in 1860, you probably didn't realize the need was so great. Now all you need is Royal patronage and they will be celebrating your name in centuries to come! Hope you are well, Graham. I don't seem to 'read' you as often these last few week...

"It wont be long and i'll be back in feet first." I hope so, Graham. I miss your regular contributions. I agree that this place is a bit of a Dream Factory, but that's kind of half the fun for me. There are so many watches I will never have, or be able to...

to my eye it works, and that's coming from
someone who isn't a fan of yellow in general (very little in my wardrobe, and I dont usually care for yellow cars, etc.) I think being an OEM integrated strap, that helps with the "shock" of the bold color. Also, yellow and black is not unheard of in natu...

photo is superb.... I assume that the Explorer belongs to your wife..... (remembering the clue that you have given to me some time ago) Cheers
"Explorer" ...
it belongs to my mum. The only Rolex I bought so far By the way, it was her choice and readability was one very important point for her.
Thanks a lot Matt
and I find it quite interesting to see the different approaches/solutions of steel bracelets. Oliver
Oliver, it means....
I did not know you had a Rolex. I do not like passing judgements on others choices...All I will say is, you need to send your 1815 chrono on a holiday to visit her American L1 MP cousin Best! -- Richard.
Thanks Richard
no worries, the Rolex belongs to my mom ALS chronograph - she is too young for staying out of the house - overnight. Oliver
Oliver, get your Mutter one of these for Weihnachten
Mum, should wear a Lange! And your 1815 Chrono...All she needs is a chaperone. BTW: Hope you had your car repaired. Best, -- Richard. This message has been edited by=RWK=on 2010-09-04 21:07:17 This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2010-09-04 21:09:50...
Richard, I tried it ...
and she really liked that one ... but when I asked her to choose one, here choice was the Explorer. She wanted something for 24/7 and loves to work in the garden or to walk at the mountains. At least I tried Oliver ps: When I see her, I always have to cle...
Excellent Oliver...
If you want to try again sometime perhaps blue will do the trick??? Hehehe...When I asked Mum, she went modern on me :-( Cheers, -- Richard....

That's a gorgeous wrist shot, Nico . . .
. . . damn, I wish I was on vacation! On the bright side, Scott has found a few interesting vintages locally, and we'll be meeting up today to check them out. One of them is a JLC ;-) . . ....
Aaaha? Art...
You're a Devil... And I know what I mean! Tell me more, my friend. Best, Nic Dracul.
According to Scott, there's a vintage JLC . . .
. . . bumper in 18 kt with a Türler signed dial available, as well as a gold Rolex Precision on the original bracelet (!) and a few Omegas from the '50s and '60s. Scott is interested in the Rolex; as expected, I'm intrigued by the Omegas . . .
I'm sure you will go there with your camera, my friend.
And if you didn't have this idea, now you will! Best, Don Corleone.
Here's the watch . . .
. . . I didn't get. Gold '50s Rolex Precision on gold-capped bracelet. Nice, but not quite my cup of tea. Check the JLC forum tomorrow for the one I took home ;-) . . ....
You took it, Art?
Your first JLC? Wow, can't wait to see it, my friend! Will see that in a very short time as tomorrow is in 53 minutes, for me. Yours truly, VLAD.
Great looking GO, Art!
And beautiful pic, the light really brings out the best character of the Senator! Best Blomman
Early morning light does the trick, blomman . . .
. . . and when it's overcast, even better!
took this pic this morning...
... wanted to upload this pic to WristScan here after taking it this morning, however, was so occupied by some other urgent work.... wearing such nice vintage in work, you will feel much relaxing and happier even a lot of work at hand. here is the pic of ...
Love it so much, Stefan.
A Vintage JLC ( Gubelin, in this case ) As I love them, and with this Double Signature, it is just awesome! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
can't agree more...
... Nico, you know, i can say this double signature vintage has as the same importance as my AMVOX1 watch has amazing power to us, wearing a nice watch, can forgot all the hard work and stress! stefan
Ah, the Parking! :)
Looking great, Stefan! Only two hours until you have to put a coin in the meter… Best Blomman

"Simple"
Bill, you forgot to mention simple, but beautiful Sometimes it is really good to get the "essence", only. "Homo Faber" (from Max Frisch) comes to my mind ... Oliver
Ops… I drooled…
A little on my shirt! Very beautiful, Bill ! One day I really have to start explore the Omega world! Best Blomman
Stuck in the office...
on this end of summer day...Hurricane Earl was threatening, but seems like not going to be anything much,. At least I love whats on my wrist, HAGWE...
Cool! An Amvox II!
Very nice to see one, today! Will take mine out of the safe soon! Best, Nicolas
It's always a good time to see an Amvox
Hope to see some pics when you take it out of the safe. It wants to be taken out, and enjoyed on the wrist
Well, it was time for her to have some rest,
As it certainly was the watch I wore the most last June. Best, my Co Amvox II friend. Nicolas.

Interesting Duo,Scott.
The Senator 60ies is a very sexy watch, I love it so much that if I had to go on it, I would get the white and the black dial. They are so different! As for the Compressor HT, a great watch with a friendly complication, a watch to live with... Best! Nicol...
Bomba!
The King of the subs today and all weekend... HAGWEE all my friends! emilio...
F.........Antasitc, Hermano.
Your Bomba is one of the nicest I've ever seen. Why? Because of its awesome patina, my friend. Wouuah, my friend, I have to say it again, that is a super catch. Olé, Hermano. Nicolas
Thanks my dear Nico!... Great patina and its "Bad Boy" look...what else?:)
Really thanks my dear friend! HAGWEE! Emilio

I've never seen a moderm PAM with such indexes! Very nice! How old is this watch?...Matt
Thanks, Matt!

I forgot you also own this Legendary watch, Bernard.
Very nice to see it spotting here! Best, Nicolas.
