Yes, soon it will be "Look at this Diver, your honor"
and "Excuse me please, Mr Defendant, but isn't the yellowed lume material just like the color of the plaster on the courtroom walls?"
So ends the career of the famous public defender=all over a watch!

Paris Special vintage 1. July GTG
Hi all, Today, four vintage nuts gathered in Paris for a nice lunch on a lovely terrace. Just hearing the names of the participants sets the expectations pretty high: Bill, Vlad, Jean-Claude, and more modestly, myself! Let me tell you one thing, it exceed...
My God!!! Were we so many?
The funny thing is that I had to leave the table for 30 minutes, just to get my client"s sentence at the Court... It is the very first time I mix a watch gathering with my job. Was great fun, and another stunning and strong moment. Thanks for the nice pic...
What ...
... was the sentence ? Be carefull mixing your hobby with your job Vlad ... Filip
Good, excellent...
I had a veery busy week, with a lot of cases to plead, but it was a kind of Grand Chelem. Don't worry, my friend... Best, Nicolas.

I counted 13 different watches...
And yet you reported four souls? Ok, 3 souls, Vlad doesn't count. Best, Horo
13??? lucky number!...
Only 13, I didn't count, and more than anything, if these were 13, they were more than hundreds of others to me!...
I'm not addicted to vintage watches
but I have to say WHOA ! those look really good, would love to seem them on my wrist!
These 2 Pussy Galore are killing me.
Exclamation dot from 57 on the left, and a somptuous box and papers from '58, on the right: Hopefully, they will be 3 in a not too distant future... Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2011-07-01 14:24:10...
I liked the table clothe.
I kind of feel that it puts the watches to their advantage for the pictures. Great gathering, friends and food just my type of event. Best regards, George
...and not one French watch amongst them!
M'ssieurs, Francais 0/13 Pouvez mieux faire! Plus d'effort l'annee prochaine. Not one French watch there. Shame on you. Lip, Leroy, Yema, Auricoste, Dodane, Kelton, Jaz, Lov, Codhor, Mortima, Vog, Utinam, Kiple, ...The list is long. I'll even allow Pontia...
actually...there was...
I didn't post all the pictures and didn't even take the time to shoot all watches as I wanted to enjoy the food and the discussions as well but I can share this UFO, you will recognize the table cloth in the background!... Matt...
I stand corrected.
Very nice looking watch. I've seen seen references to it, but never seen such a good image. nick
Wow! Stunning pieces.
That Polaris 65 is one of the most beautiful Polaris I've ever seen. It looks great on that strap, LOVE it. Amazing Rolexes also. Congrats to the owners. Thanks, Vte
a superb selection from such a small gathering.
what could be more perfect. in paris, sitting on the terrace in the sunshine with good friends and a great selection of trinkets to feast the eyes. some of the watches were even older than the attendee's which is a surprise LOL Graham
You are right Graham!
actually all my wathes were older than me, but that applies only to me! LOL Matt
Wow !
Fantastic meeting. The Superocean 1004 and the two 6542 are killing me ! The 5513 gilt is also a beauty. cheers Francois
Stunning collection!
You must have had a blast! Thank you for sharing, Matt! As I am doing my best to stay a hardcore JLC fan and not dive into the abyss of vintage Roex… I only have two questions: Who’s Polaris..?! And do you have any photo of the backside? Best Blomman
Guess who's Polaris...
Vlad's of course, stunning, as new!!! I didn't take the back but it has no holes from what I remember as I guess this is your question! Matt
Just the nuts I like
Vintage nuts - LOL. A brilliant gathering, another amazing table full of watches. I am so jealous. For sure I must come to Paris soon!...
