Even the hands let some radium hints on the dial.... Wow! Best, Nicolas.

. . . burn! :-)

. . . for your viewing pleasure, h! ...  

. . . of various 'slash' iterations with both US Army engraving and without. Mine is a /5 without the engraving, but there are examples with the engraving, too. What I'd really like to discover are the terms of the contract signed between the US governmen... 

But I would also be interested to see any document about that! Best, my friend. Nicolas

. . . and retracting what I wrote about engravings on all slash iterations. For the /5 , at least, there's no evidence to be found of a US Army example. Art

love the "Ghost hands" on the dial! :) HAGWE Blomman

. . . many years ago, only the best examples would do; a flawed specimen like this would've been rejected. Now, I've come to appreciate character almost as much as condition. And need I say, I really, really like this watch.

Not only our watches chance by time, we do as well! :) I made the same journey, my friend. When I started, I wanted everything perfect.... Now, I could not be more happy than finding some nice patina! :) Best Blomman

Have a great weekend gents! GEO ...

And was extremely lucky to catch a glimpse of Pope Francis. Amazing. Beautiful place. 2 more places before Paris. I am sure I will love the cool weather. And some French wine..

Excellent travel companion too!

And you also use the GMT function... That is extra points! ;) HAGWE Blomman

One, extremely reliable, like the Omega Planet Ocean 8500 (that has the advantage of being able to move the hour hand without disturbing the time settings). This was my setup during my last overseas trip. 1) Getting ready for take off (777-200 heading to ...  

You clearly travel in style! :) HAGWE Blomman

I guess its production years are late Sixties?

No message body

... the cosmonaute, when we talk about the big size Ref 1809 that also can be helpfull as a travel watch, for example when they put you in a dark jail with no sunlight for a watch toll criminal act. After a view days you are still able to see on the dial,...  

What diameter? HAGWE Blomman

... 48,x mm without crown, but more important is the mesure from lug to lug and if you look at the case with it's short lugs is nearly the same mesure there from lug to lug, so that these monsters are friendly monsters, even more as most people believe, o... 

Hope to do the "on the wrist test" one day! Best Blomman

My favorite travel companion Thank you very much WTA ...  

My usual business travel extends to 3-4 days, rarely longer. I got used to bringing 2-3 watches on a trip and selection depends on the mood and which one I need to show some love and give it fresh air. What I find useful on travelling when changing watche...  

Special mention to the WW TCn the Richeville Day and Night, and the Traveller, indeed. I need to re build a small collection of GPs! Best, Nicolas

Elephant movement in northern Thailand. We have set-up places on rivers and streams that used to be off limits to the elephants and they can now have a nice bath and snack in the hot jungle heat. If you have never ridden an elephant on a safari, I highly ... 

Thank you! Best Blomman

It is so functional, and so handsome. And the big date makes it even nicer. Best, CaliforniaJed

and that it can be set both forward and backward. I especially like that both digits sit on the same plane. Richard

It looks like you and Nilo have the same travel plans...! Did you meet up?! ;) HAGWE Blomman

Goes to show that we appreciate similar things - and when watches are designed and built right, they "speak" to many of us in similar ways.

[image taken June '11] . . . is one of my personal favorites from Omega's current collection. Thanks for sharing yours, Richard. ...  

For instance, when I go to HK I change watch every day. But breakfast never changes! Bierchermusli with red berries!! Mmmm... ...

Jummy! :) Great start of each day! HAGWE Blomman

I know it is sacrilege, but if I had to sacrifice the watches or the berries... I think I would sacrifice the watches... At least at that time of the morning!

Too bad is on loan. HAGWE Tyler ...
