Team, Sometimes the phrase "No pain, no gain" is correct. Trying to distract myself from the pain that afflicts me, after a major mouth/dental surgery (no one wants to tell me how many stitches I have

Team, Since I cannot eat or even sleep well, taking pictures as a distraction. It works. Using a flash reflected on my home office ceiling, trying and failing to mimic Caravaggio's "chiaroscuro". The

Team, It's a fact that I'm a strong fan of chronographs. I love to see those little "needles" to measure the time as it flows. It's also part of my OCD to look the chronograph hand as it starts when I

Team, After many Moons, my Reverso Duo Blue arrived. No words for it. Just WOW!! First, an old and corny song: For now, just pictures of this work of art: Thanks for seeing. Cheers, Nilo This message

Team, I wake up this morning, took some pictures and I was thinking "this is the end" or there will be more watches for me? First "The Doors Live at The Hollywood Bow": Now, some fresh Duomètre Chrono
