so well said, dear friend!
Yes, it is so cool how close it is to the CS. The interesting bit (as a CS owner yourself) once you start to look in to the details of the case and the movement, and what appeared at first to be almost the same, is in fact different in almost every little detail, and you end up concluding that it is in fact not the same at all. That was a fun realization for me.
Dreaming of ....
Dear friends I am sure you all have to deal with the situation that is going on in the world right now - one way or another. We are all affected to various degrees by what has happened and what lays before us. I apologize for my absence in the last few da...
Thanks for the wise and kind words that I fully share my friend.
And YES it is definitely a very beautiful watch. You know what, your post reminds me I have to take photos of some watches I want to post. This includes a great Hentschel I have to talk about, a rare bird that has joined the nest, and... some chiming ones...
Dearest, Mike
Thank you for your kind words I cant wait to here more about the Hentschel. What a fantastic evening we had and I was lucky to be seated next to Andreas. He made a lasting impression on me, speaking about his philosophy and his very eanest and and detaile...
Great sentiment Christian...
It’s certainly been a very unsettling experience over the past few days. I have just been told by a friend that works in a hospital, that thieves have stolen sizeable quantities of toilet rolls and hand sanitizer from the hospital. We are certainly living...
Thank you so much, Dear Cpt
Yes we are all shocked. The speed by which the situation escalates is overwelming and it is difficult to keep up. My wife is a doctor and she is already working a lot extra. Lets all be sensible and stay home. Flatten the curve! Thank you so much for your...
Thanks for the nice words Christian, that I can only share.
By keeping a positive tone here on WPS, we are making it an even more precious "safe space" for all friends seeking comfort or just a mental distraction at this time... An important, extra form of service until the world reopens -- hopefully very soon. Ta...
Dearest, Fab
I appreciate your kind words. I have you and your wonderful country in mind. I was saying to my wife today; when the world is normal again, first we are going to Italy on a long vacation. My best thoughts to you and yours.
Also stunned by recent events . . .
. . . and finding solace, scant as it may be, on my wrist. Vintage Omega, of course, not an FPJ, but the effect is the same. Hope you're keeping well, Christian. Best, Art
I completely understand...
dear Art! I really admire your fine Omega vintage collection. You have done it with great taste. I bought the book you recommended, btw. I hope I will get more time to go through it once im settled in my new routines of my life at home. Right now Im doubl...
« However - dont we all need some place to rest our tired minds, even if just for a minute. «
How true it’s. Things are going crazy out there😐
I don’t think anyone would begrudge us this escape. That’s what it is, always has been.
We are all dealing with disruption in our day to day lives, and hopefully for all of us here and our families it is merely a disruption. A beautiful watch, albeit a troublesome one I understand (or have I heard too many old wives tales of movement issues)...
this is true, Jay.
Now needed even more Yes, the Repetition is a temperamental beast, but from what I hear it should be possible to make it work. I think I am really tempted by its understated design and the compactness which sets it apart from most repeaters. my best to yo...
It's great to dream in times like these...
Thanks for your post Christian, it certainly is a welcome relief when beautiful images like these are shared. Stay safe everyone, and keep on sharing these little treasures
My pleasure, my friend!
Great to hear from you. Hope you are well and safe! best Christian

Dreams keeps us awake & move forward...i'm sure she'll be in your collection soon ! I love the way it is close to CS family - very discreet. Best, mahesh.,
so well said, dear friend!

Very well said Christian! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Let’s hope we all come out of this without too much pain and suffering! I share your enthusiasm about the blue dial, very aesthetically pleasing. Hope you will acquire it sooner than you wish my friend ❤️
My friend, thank you so much for your nice post :-) I am deeply hoping the same.
Yes, i love the relative simplicity of the dial and being used to the CS dial, the blue printing seems more vibrant and alive. Keep safe, please!! best Christian
Some of us have been ordered off the streets so let's stay at home and enjoy the world of watches
My good friend from college is home recovering from an eye operation. He has some painters working on his kitchen. They are all around 60 years old. They went out for a fast food lunch yesterday, their car was stopped and they were interviewed by a local ...
haha, thats a great story, Mike...
What a great line by the good deputy I think we are all overwelmed in this moment. We are so lucky to have our loved tic tocs and WPS. Stay safe, please! all my best to you and your wife. Christian
A very warm welcome here :-)
I hope you will enjoy our passionate community. ...And thank you for your kind words! Escapism in the right doses can be a very good thing best Christian
