. . . are most pleasing, and when combined with a shaped movement, makes for a very compelling design. I'm still hoping to acquire a cal 42 Karree to complete my G O collection . . . cordially, Art
Hi Art, Looks great on your wrist; a long wait coming back from the watchmaker. It was exciting to be there when you found this at the "Vintage Omega Shop". You should post a more detailed thread on the Omega Forum. I think I have a couple more photos to ...
. . . the experience so far this week. There's another late '40s vintage Omega equipped with the successor movement (a cal 302 vs the R17.8 in this watch) that I'm hoping to add to my collection someday . . . cordially, Art
. . . I hope to get off a few quality snaps this evening, and will be posting on the Omega forum. It might need to be returned to the watchmaker for regulation as it's running a tad slow. LIke -1 minute per day :-( . . .
. . . a Reverso collector, blomman, had it not been for the Karrees. Golden ratio rectangular forms with complementary shaped manufacture movements are the watches that make my heart beat a little faster. This version, with rose gold case and a black dial...
I think we are chewing on the same bone..! But when you have found your cal 42 Karree, maybe it’s time to dive into the Reverso abyss?! Don’t know if you read this post, also one of my first here; The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes... Best Blomman...
. . . once the G O collection is complete, there's room for one more modern piece in my collection, and it will be a tool / sports / utility watch. Leaning towards a modern Omega, possibly a Grand Seiko.
One of my favourite Vintage, all brands included. Deep Sea Alarm Lecoultre, US version ( sorry for the redundance ) : HAGWE, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-09-30 22:33:16...
. . . two watch collection! Both rugged, both uncommon, both well balanced - neither austere nor flashy. Vintage has special charms, eh, Consiglieri? . . .
I like everything about it. I'm shopping aound for a sixties/seventies divers watch lately, just been loving the look's of em these days. Another fantastic wristshot Nicolas ! Drew
The watch is nicer than the wrist... Seriously, these Diving watches are just timeless. I'm sure you will find the one which will give you a maximum of pleasure. Looking forward to your next WS, Best, Nicolas
. . . my Karree Panodate, the most aesthetically appealing watch in my collection. The proportions of this Bucherer match your wrist well, Marcus . . .
A vintage German watch awaited me in my mail box as I returned this evening from a short business trip to Berlin and a wonderful Purist encounter! A pristine mid 50s Hanhart single barrel alarm watch (alarm is set by the bezel). I'm a bit sleepy, so just ...
Apparently the first ones had standard dial brackets, but the movement of the lunette in setting the alarm (I spoke inexactly when I said the alarm was set by the bezel) sometimes caused the dial to slip. This according to Horlbeck's treatise, the Alarm W...
You have a wonderful Alarm collection, congrats! Once I am able to break free from the JLC spell, I will have to follow your footsteps… Just love these noisy old ladies! Best Blomman
Thanks Drew, I guess it's like a nice tailored shirt with French cuffs and cuff-links for us. It shows of a wristwatch to full effect. The designer is Alannah Hill. Nice whimsical and romantic pieces. Andrew
It hasn't left her wrist in five years and is therefore building its' own history. Much more than any of my casually worn pieces. I envy her sometimes. Thanks for your nice words. Andrew
It is just too big for me and I don't have any need for it - but every few months when some young fellow needs the money and sells his on one of the watch sites, I open up the message, take a long look and have to resist temptation. Ginger
Fly boys around the last few weeks! Looking great, Richard, maybe it’s time for me to start look in to that area...? My problem is that I already know which one I like; JLC Mark XI… Best Blomman
. . . and this one is a really tough tool watch with a specially hardened case, if not mistaken. I recall their introduction about five years ago (?), but have never seen one in the metal . . . cordially, Art
Changing all the "k's" to "c's" is silly, as is his concept that American English should be different from British. The Umläut adds a nice finishing touch ;-) Your next mission: Teach them it is a queue; and not a line! Indeed the Damasko has many in...
