Black Classic
I'm a relatively recent lurker on thi site. Many years ago I saw an ad in Time magazine for a watch which really caught my eye. I checked out the details & learned that it was a Movado "museum" watch. A few years back someone presented me with one, & I really loved it. It's quite an art to make something so simple & stark & yet so eye catching. And it's obviously a classic in that they have conitnued the same dial design for decades. Wore it last night, & not for the first time, people commented about it. The sapphire crystal unfortunately reflects quite a bit & I find it really difficult to get a good pic with my point & shoot Sony Cyber-shot.
IMHO, a true classic in black.

A tribute to All Black - Please share your "All Black" watches...
Over the past year or so, we’ve seen the rise in the popularity of the all black watch. My first memory of being stunned by a slick black watch was the PVD Panerai. This was then followed by the even slicker AP End of Days. However, the concept of the All...
the Haka always gives me the chills! And
Metallica's Black album wasn't that bad (Sad but True is one of my all time favorite Metallica songs) but equeling Master of Puppets is pretty tough! Here's my contribution:...
Nice BR. May I ask if it has an anti reflective coating?
I think that the Phantom would have benefited from one. Cheers Gaz
Given French performances (in World Cups) against the All Blacks,
I am surprised Alex! I would have thought a red rose or a white shirt would have been far more chilling! Hope all is well. Hope to see Paris soon Andrew H
Back in Black
Their firsrt album with Bon Scott! Wowowowow. The First album on which my daughter danced as she was 11 months! LOL As for Horology, here'sz my take: Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by MTF on 2008-02-07 21:15:00...

Great thread, Gaz! While I have a mostly black watch . . .

Today I achieved my goal
I'm in the perpetual state of drunkeness. I have been drinking since 1pm to 11pm. And listening to The Who, The Police, Wu Bai, and Bon Jovi. Well, Dr No, I have to say that The Who is slightly better than Led Zepplin. Gaz, your wish is my command cen@jkt...
Dr No begs to disagree, cen, and . . .
. . . I've seen the Who twice - once without Keith Moon, and once without Moon and Entwhistle, so perhaps those shows don't really count . . . Led Zep has been a phantasm for a generation, but I did manage to see the Page/Plant tour in '95, and caught Jim...
i got to see Led Zep at knebworth festival when i was 14ish.
from memory it was 1978, but might have been '79. my sister who was 20 took me for the whole weekend. i've seen all sort of bands since but nothing comes close. we all seem to love watches cars and heavy rock. did we all come from the same gene pool?
Silver & Black....
It's difficult to be a Raiders' fan these days, Art, so I admire your fortitude. Here're my two silver and black beauties. And I've got the Stones' "Paint it Black" stuck in my head as a result of all this Black-themed music talk! Heheh. Ah. King Crimson'...
Speaking as a veteran of 34 Stones shows, Dom, I can say that . . .
. . . Keith's opening riff on 'Paint it Black' is just about the most chine-spilling experience of all . . . it was the third to last number of the last show I saw in LA back in November '06, and the whole crowd at Dodger Stadium leapt out of their seats ...
Ahhh that is my kind of thread!
I'm currently travelling so can't take any new "black" watch pictures, and I didn't bring any of those watches to share some pictures. Sorry! But here are a couple old "black" pictures I have posted here in the past. A black watch is a must in anyone's co...
Two nice All Blacks. The 195 is awesome, unless...
you bought it in the secondary market with someone else's name engraved on the back Gaz

lyrics from Zep and quotes from Sabbath. life is nearly perfect. here are my black offerings, but watch out for my Discus new strap post. Gaz and i obviously have similar tastes, but i'm missing the Pam....
Sorry to be late, but here're my shots...
First, from the house of Audemars Piguet: next, we have the Italians: Then we're joined by the French air force: About time for a little bit of German engineering? You didn't think I would have forgotten about the real 'all black'?...
