While we often - or mostly - tend to be the main drivers behind our horology hobby, many of us get supported in this by our significant others, parents, friends, siblings, children, scary strangers (it is Friday the 13th after all)... So let’s see the wat...
Over the years, I have received a watch from my wife and a watch from my son. I have posted the one from my wife before. So, now I post the one from my son. He bought it for me for a Father's Day gift. I have to say, I am not really a Speedmaster type of ...
And I agree 100% with your sentiments. You're never truly a grown up man until you hold your own child and realize that from now on, you are fully responsible for his/her life.
It truly does change life for sure and even if it is a spectacular feeling it adds worry and a certain thoughtfulness that few people without children acquire
The 70s Regatta Chronograph, which was a gift, earlier in 2018. Lemania movement and a gold plated case... Such a cool dial, deserved at least a SS case, but nonetheless it will be a fun summer watch to wear now and then! R ...
Yes, I find the dial to be the most interesting part of the watch. The case size is also interesting, as it is around 42mm. Thank you for the input on this one, because when I first recieved it, I didn't know what to make of it.
......this is an extraordinary situation. This very morning, Fedex arrived at my house. In the box was this.... And inside this box was this...... And attached to that was this..... I am now an official member of the GP mafia. Whattya gonna do? Sent to me...
Interesting theme, K. I don't have a gifted watch right now, unless you would count watches I gifted to myself However, I can submit my Girard-Perregaux Deep Diver 7897. I was gifted essential parts by a friend to complete the watch and that I equally tre...
This one was a gift from my father, a passing down to hold for next generation. The lighting is terrible and I know the photo will not win any beauty contest. But at least I can honestly say there is only one category I am aiming for. Here is the mighty I...
I guess i'll take it a bit easier now .... but to be honest i just had 4 new ContiSportcontacts fitted to the Clio and the contract for the new Megane RS is ready to be signed ... . But about that last one i'll give myself another week of thoughts ;-) Bim...
It's getting better by the day and i turned medication down to 33% .. now just hope the pain will stay bearable. Laughing is not a real big problem. When i yawn it does hurt i must say. I don't wanna know what will happen when i sneeze as i already had a ...
KMII Thanks for this theme. I thought to show the first watch presented by my new fiancée as an engagement gift: a plastic cased Citizen quartz "grand complication" with perpetual calendar, split seconds chronograph, minute repeater, alarm, autonomy of lu...
With Molly, in a Welsh pub, the whole lot On a more serious note, Chopard really make some very nice watches for ladies, too (not that I am calling your choice girly). The LUC XPS in 35mm for instance or the new Happy Sport with the new manufacture moveme...
Frank, Relax. Please read carefully. I meant it was the prevalent theme at the time and the topic of popular jokes. I included references to popular culture viz. song titles and lyrics plus a movie about excesses of the time. It was about "loads-a-money",...
What you meant to say and what it comes across as are two very, very different things. The end meaning is in the mind of the reader. We are not psychic to know what you meant. Why do I say this? Well, in some places, those two brands represent the absolut...
zabreg1 Perhaps you're right. I was about to re-tell jokes from the 1980s about father-in-laws.... It's a different world from even a couple of years ago when we could joke about ourselves. Crazy watch collectors from across the world having fun. Now, in ...
