Succumbing to the charms of vintage Rolex! Do tell, Andrew . . .
. . . there must be a story behind this development . . . intrigued, Art
Yes and no …
Hi Art, Well I suppose there is a story, but in many ways the “charms of vintage Rolex”, as you say, are apparent in the picture I posted. Namely the wonderful plexiglass that bends and morphs the dial when viewed at different angles and the creamy butter...
It's flattering, Andrew....
...that you afford any credit at all to the one-on-one counselling session ( he blushed.... ), but don't think for a moment that you can avoid the group therapy . We're all waiting impatiently now for that left-field horological self-analysis as only you ...
very nice Patrice, i dont think i've seen that on your wrist before
its always been panerai's on friday wristshots. best Graham
Thanks Jeff ...
Thanks Jeff, I was initially drawn to these old Submariners (this 5513 is from 1966) because of the yummy patina of the tritium markers. However, now it is on my wrist I am really enjoying the visual effect of the thick plexiglass. Thanks also for your he...
One word for you, Andrew, and that's...
... awesome ! Great catch, and that plexi is so very, very sexy! Congrats on a great vintage piece! Here's a piece I WISH I was wearing on my wrist this Friday after seeing it at the JLC Boutique yesterday: Cheers, and have a great weekend! Daos This mess...

I'm readying a few more pictures of this beauty for all to see!
I can't get it out of my head. I like the size of the case, the cool gray of the dial, and the romantic day/night indicator. It's really so beautiful to me. Alright, I better get back to work on my pictures! Daos
And don't forget the verso side, with
This stunning 18K WG movement! Ready? Go! Best, 666, Your Banker.
Your great Submariners and photos ...
Thanks Steven, Your great Submariner collection and photos pushed me in this direction too. I am a slow learner, but I am starting to see what all the 'fuss' is about. Really enjoying wearing this most basic 5513. Andrew

JLC may be the master of complications . . .
. . . but they're pretty damn good at the essentials, too! With all due respect for the rest of your JLC collection, Nico, the Chronometre is my favorite . . . warmest regards, Art
If I have some time, I will prepare a topic about them, Art
And we'll discuss about that! Nonetheless, it is also one of my favourite! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
A classic!
Wow -- simplicity and elegance, courtesy of The Manufacture... Enjoy! Best, Gary
That is just beautiful
Never seen this watch. Will have to read up on it!! Thanks Andreas
Great......

I'm reminded of the scene in Crocodile Dundee . . .
. . . where the mugger pulls a knife on Paul Hogan: Rest assured, Gary, you'll have the grandest watch in the boardroom . . .
Exactly!
Brilliant analogy -- I know deep down inside that it's silly, but it's exactly that thing about looking down, seeing this watch on your wrist and feeling that you should be at least a match for the guy with the Timex Ironman...(full disclosure: I do actua...
Just kids having fun!!! ROFL
thanks for reminder dear Art it was huge success in my young days no to say that we have lot to explain to our parents why we need knife suddenly and not a bicycle All the best Damian
If you're not lucky with this one, Gary ...
This one is growing on me...Slowly but surely. HAGWE, my friend, and first of all, a great buisness day! Nicolas
Good luck in your meetings, too, Jed . . .
. . . remember, a little animation goes a long ways in da biz: Hell, I'll consider myself lucky to have a meeting with the snack vendors . . .
Hoping I have no meetings tomorrow.
If I do, it'll be unplanned, and you never want to be invited to an unplanned meeting on Friday in corporate America -- not these days anyway... Best, Jed
Even worse is when you get called to the mail room . . .
. . . which is where management likes to handle potentially 'difficult' cases . . . less attention, fewer co-workers, and security conveniently at hand . . .
Tales of unpleasant tasks...
I once had a client (SVP of sales for a large corporation) who would only fire guys at an airline club (he favored the Red Carpet Club in Denver) -- do it at a table in the middle of the room, so that there were strong disincentives to cause a scene, and ...
This one for a change

Thanks so much!
Yes, it's 45mm but it doesn't really feel so big because the black color hides its size... This message has been edited by chazlin on 2009-11-15 06:03:43
I wish !
The memories from a few months ago...Le Dramont (I shouldnt complain, I m off to Singapore & Thailand for work this sunday)...
We did have a good showing of simple vintage Omegas last week, didn't we? . . .
. . . although it's not mine, here's one last photo of my friend's '67 Seamaster on my wrist . . . . . . cordially, Art...
I didn't comment last week, but ...
This Seamaster looks great. Love the Arabic numerals. Lucky friend. Andrew
Two more days...
and you get to see the date pointer jump over the tourbi. No matter what, if I owned this watch, I would always wear it in the middle of the month. But I was expecting to see something with a Maltese Cross....you teased a week or two ago and then left us ...
When you say tonight....
...do you mean either a) you will take photos or videos of the date jump on your Master Tourbi or b) you wil reveal what is attached to the Maltese Cross? LOL. respo
Something more simple.....
my friend...... I meant that tonight it will change- sorry I am not that good in taking video. However it is a good idea and I will try to do it..... Cheers
I actually......
tried to make a video last night but..... failed miserably as I fell asleep a few minutes before..... However I will soon post a review of this watch and try to include a video.... Cheers
You fell asleep???
I just fell off my chair...laughing. I will look forward to your review, Pink. I assume the date change occurred without a hitch, even if you weren't watching. respo
Yes.....
sometimes I do fall asleep........ And the date did change smoothly- probably the second after I took my eyes of it..... Cheers
It it is
a beauty and a true masterpiece, PinkPanther I would like to see the jump - enjoy the upcoming event to night
an oriental beauty for me.
this is my latest aquisition to go in the 'oriental' themed section. its an Orient star 'somes'. i've wanted one for a long time due to the beautiful brown dial. it was released in partnership with Somes who are Japans biggest equestrian leather makers he...
Delicious! Just a hint of '70s funk . . .
. . . and a large dial that won't appear out of place on smaller wrists . . . cordially, Art
thanks Art, thanks Ginger. ...
thanks Art, thanks Ginger. it was a dort of impulse purchase after being outbid on an Orient Star Royal handwind, but its better than i expected, far better to be honest. my 2 Azimuths have been delayed until december as new releases often are, but i was ...
