Thanks for the kind words
My house is in a state of confusion because of remodeling, so I am holding off on more thorough photography and reporting until I can find a corner to set things up in a semi permanent way and get back on a regular schedule. I have several watches that deserve a real presentation and hope to provide it sometime in the summer.

Nice collection! Longines pour moi...
BTW "HAGWE" just stands for "Have A Great Weekend Everyone"....
et pour moi le Urwerk 103.03
It also took me quite a bit what HAGWE referred to, just like LOL, but since last week I now I know. Geo...
As always, beautiful, Geo!
I will end by changing my mind on the Urwerk, with your pics, Geo... Beautifuls pic! Best, nicolas
I will have to wear two
One for a casual occasion and one for a more formal event:...
The MIH is SO interesting
one day I will have one too; lovely, simple, good looking watch. Geo
Last Friday, this Friday…
…next Friday, and very probably for a number of Fridays to come – Cheers, pplater....
It is...
...and it works wonderfully well, minimising the risk of damage to the lugs on a strap change. It's standard issue. Cheers, pplater.
Aaah...what a beauty, Pplater!
I wouldn't take it off either! What's not to love? The sensual lugs, the interplay of textures on the dial, the unique hands, and beautiful movement...I could go on, but I'm not telling you anything you don't already know! Cheers, Daos
We never get enough of this one
First time I see a picture of the movement. Thanks for posting. GEO
Aaargh, pplater
I will have to get one! Yuor pics don't help me to forget them, indeed! HAGWE! Nicolas
One can hardly fault you, pplater . . .
. . . and it just goes to show that Jefferson's dictum regarding consistency has at least one notable exception ;-) . . . warm regards, Art
Definitely Jefferson's . . .
. . . as I was unaware of Wilde's until just now ;-) . . . enlightened, Art
Easy, ppcollector: 5110R: Casual and dressy at the same time!
HAGWE: Have A Great Week End. WIS language. HAGWE! Nicolas
I pimped my Legend Diver ...

This is an authentic Coast Guard Jacket, my friend. I couldn't choose the color! Best, Nicolas
I did my best to match with the Orange / Red Freccione, Filip! :)))
Thanks for the advice, ut in Paris, there aren't many cows! Best, Nicolas
Move the hell out of MY beach... ;-)
Gorgeous Photo! If that winding crown had been a little bigger I think I would have ended up with One Watch Only. Still a marvelous piece it is.
LOL, POY
You weren't there, my friend... But People, there, still remember the Legendary POY... What a nice background, indeed. As for the watch, I'm terribly in love with it. A review is on the tube... Best, Nicolas
This Vampire on My Wrist
Nicolas: I'm curious why you refer to your 1655 as a vampire. Berryman (Mike)
Because it is really impossible to me to take it off my wrist, Mike
Hey, Mike, first of all, welcome here! I was hunting so badly this 1655, MY 1655 that now that I found it, I fall under its strong charm. Best, Nicolas
The more I see it the more I love it!
Now I really have to stop looking at your pics! Best, Nicolas
Nice shoes ...
... one day i will be in posession of these (or Fratelli R's) too .... for the moment i'll have to settle with my Allstars ... LOL Filip...
Do not waste anymore time... Get back to that awaited Part 3

Rolex
You have a good piece in pristine condition. Here are 2 more for company: This message has been edited by VPREGULATOR on 2009-04-24 06:20:04...
Thanks VP for the company...
at least my 6694 don't feel that lonely here. Yours are in great condition too. Pat
Delectable Rolex, Pat . . .
. . . my '85 vintage AirKing had a similar dial (no date, of course) . . . long gone, sad to say . . . cordially, Art
Thanks Art...
for kind words. Any pics of your 85' Airking? My 6694 is from 1980/81 based on serial number reference. I recently realized that the "secret" marking "VF" on the clasp predates the 557 oyster bracelet to 1981, according to the Rolex-freaks-code-breakers f...
Sadly, no, as I parted with it . . .
. . . a long time ago, well before I had a digital camera. I do have a framed photograph of it on my wrist while I'm holding my then-newborn twin nephews, but I don't think I can take a macro shot that is worth posting . . . perhaps one of my photo-savvy ...
Sub love for me...
Simply pleasure!.... 5513 love... HAGWEE all my Purist brother! Emilio...
Hey, La Bomba!...
only you love the strap???, and what about the watch???. LOL. Seriously, this strap makes a fantastic combo with the dial, with the general appearence of the watch. thanks for your nice compliment hermano. Best Emilio.
A fascinating Sub, Emilio!
What a dial! And the lovely patina of its bezel enhances the natural Beauty of this Sub. Happy to see you enjoying it so much! Best, Hermano. Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas...
Certanlly, the patina in the bezel is simply stunning.... an impressive watch, indeed. And the dial and the colour of the indexes makes a simply pleasure for the eyes. This sub has soul. Really, I´m so happy with this nice sub. We made a great hunt Thanks...
For playing this weekend....

Hi Guys Bought this this week !! Still on the wrist since wed.. This is one of the earliest 18j Omega 30T2SCPC . This watch is so early the dial is not even marked non-magnetic like the later on in this series. It about from 1942. Original dial and hands ...

Motorcycle racing all weekend so a speedmaster for me.

Just don't take a left-handed hairpin turn with the Speedy on . . .
. . . your wrist, Graham . . . we don't want to see skid marks next week ;-) . . . cordially, Art
i can only dream of...
i can only dream of producing the skid marks you mean. i'm a total couch potato when i watch it now. Motp GP AND World Superbikes in 1 day. ultimate perfection. best me
Ultimate perfection in my book is . . .
. . . a Stones show with three encores and AC/DC as the opening act ;-). I love racing, Graham, and it's practically the only sporting event that I'll readily attend (other than a pool tournament), but I always get a little queasy watching motorcycles as ...
Art, there's something about 2...
Art, there's something about 2 wheels and an engine. having been a biker since i was about 12 and ridden high powered bikes on the road i have no such squeamishness. even attending a large number of fatal motorcycle accidents didnt change my own attitude ...
I always felt more confident ...
... on my bike at high speeds (150mph+) ... nice and cosy behind the windscreen .... and if there's an obstacle, just a blimp of the finger/heads up and you slow down like no car can do .... at least at speeds above 40 mph ... .. In a car doing over 100 m...
Filip, you have to...
Filip, you have to feel what a car is doing through the seat of your pants. keep the car settled and smooth and its fine. i consider myself very lucky to have driven and ridden at high road speeds for a living with the occasional bit of cop work thrown in...
Casual day at work . . .
. . . with a touch of refinement on the wrist ;-). I'll be wearing a grey t-shirt, Levis, black Clark's chukka boots, and a Senator Sixties to the office today, Joe . . . as luck would have it, every day is casual day here in So Cal! Cordially, Art
