While the Hentschel was clearly a long planned piece, the Chrono was a bit of a surprise, so I snatched it as soon as I saw it 😊👍🏻

No salmon 🍣 this time 😉 Two nice and fun pieces This Thomas Funder was a microbrand project I ordered last year. That case design looks so good in person imho. Love it And this one doesn’t need any introduction i guess . So happy i got it . Excellent rele...  

The case shape on the Thomas Finder is truly superb - very, very cool! The MAD needs no introduction and is a very funky piece 👌🏻👍🏻

The case design of the Thomas Funder looks very good and offers something different as does the MAD1. Is the Thomas Funder case Titanium ?

Yes its a titanium case .

an outstanding piece!! Excellent. 👏👏👏

.....coincidentally ,my last two purchases this year are from the same brand a pickup from an overseas trip Something that just may be my exit purchase in this hobby,except for a PSM i'm eyeing just enjoying the green shades.....not ocean green and no fis...  

The KS looks lovely in this color scheme and the green of the GS is very mesmerizing 👏🏻🙌🏻

All the best Thomas

More the one that got away. This was my last purchase a few years back but I gifted it to family who are visiting this weekend and I could not resist. 😀 ...  

... that giving it as a present to a member of your family provokes you a deep pleasure too. The new owner will appreciate so much your generous gesture. Have a nice weekend! Abel

Thank you.

Very nice shots and a great gesture - I am sure the family member who got is it over the moon 😊👍🏻👌🏻

Yes he was even though he considered himself not a fan of gold.

😉 Well, 2022 was a rather stimulating year, although with only rather few watches incoming. To start with, the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 culminated in the arrival of a long existing dream, to Humble Me a pretty Heavyweight for my stables. What it ...  

.. is truly attractive on the wrist.. Thx for your interest, again ! Best, hs. 🙂🙂

... timepiece to enjoy and love. I´m happy for you my friend. Wishing you´ll enjoy these catches in the best of good health! Cheers! Abel

because of its fascinating dial without this uninspired white date window I really dislike. My AD offered it to me for Euro 28.000 about more than a decade ago. I refused because I found it ridiculous to pay so much for a steel sports watch…. 😩 Oh my God!... 

.. and the kind looking ! Glad you liked it; - HAGWE & Best 🙂

And Yes, the acquisition of the Nautilus 5167 was a long standing wish, which turned out very rewarding ! It‘s one of those watches, which exert their full attractiveness sometimes on a second look ! - But I really love it - it’s one of my most loved watc... 

It´s always my pleasure to view and comment your posts my friend. Have a wonderful week ahead. Cheers! Abel

The Nautilus - catching one currently is certainly a very special feeling! And the Omegas are fabulous additions to your collection - am seriously thinking of the CK myself (a serious competitor being the DeVille Tresor with small seconds, which if anythi... 

And Yes, it has been a quite “monumental” season; You’re right, the CK 859 is a real low-key pleasure but exerts a charming appeal ! Thx for a stimulating theme and - HAGWE to you & yours ! 🙂🙂

Quite a bit of driving ahead today but hopefully the main traffic is gone by now. Have a nice weekend, too 👍🏻

You certainly landed some very special watches. The Nautilus is a wonderful addition and the CK 859 is a personal favourite. Best regards Captain

And Yes, 2022 was a year rather low in number of Tic-Tacs but high in “content & substance”. - BTW: what’s in a number of timepieces; practically nothing important, as we all know.. Thx again for your kind comments ! Best, hs 🙂🙂

Hi These are the latest acquired during the height of the pandemic. First a gshock - probably from watching too many YouTube videos! The second - a c case GP alarm, an alarm is always good The GP with a few friends! Cheers JML ...  

... to add to your collection. Your last picture is awesome! Enjoy them so much! Hagwe. Abel

Both are great - but without the time ( due to not being allowed to go anywhere) I'm pretty convinced I wouldn't have been so bothered about getting a gshock. But it's a good tool watch to throw on when you don't want to worry about what you're wearing. C... 

is pure magic!! 🙏 Cheers Thomas

Was actually a Mickey Mouse Swatch, so I certainly understand the appeal of the G-Shock in the situation. The C-Case is a true beauty 👌🏻👍🏻

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

… your hosting and great Theme. Watch catching has been great for me this year with the arrival along the last months of a few watches I have ordered earlier and required a long wait to be enjoyed. I am sharing a few shots though regret to say I had not o...  

The Chronoscope I had admired already when you posted it, but can’t get enough fine pics of that real treasure ! And Yes, of course the CK859, well known here meanwhile is very photogenic and I agree, that it is a really fine watch, a very fine watch ! - ... 

Enjoy your weekend so much my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

With a very non-standard movement for Omega and this very appealing dial 👌🏻 The CK is becoming a bit of a community watch here and for good reason - Omega really made a charmer with this one. The Chronoscope looks much better on your wrist than on the pre... 

I have seen both the steel and bronze models and liked them best than in pictures. Hope you´ll have the chance some day soon. Have a nice week ahead my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

Hello dear Abel, A beautiful selection of watches from Omega and very nice photos to accompany them. The Speedmaster Chronoscope bronze-gold case looks so good on your wrist and the CK859 is an instant classic and will definitely be a future collectors dr... 

... as soon as they were announced but due to the present economic crisis in my Country the arrivals of new watches has been slow and required long waitings. I´m still waiting for the Ultra Deep titanium arrival. Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel

I had the Ultra Deep on my wrist again this week, you are going to love it !… especially in titanium.

The Speedmaster Chronoscope is a very special piece. It looks much better on your wrist than what I have seen on the internet. We all know and appreciate the CK859. But your watch 1938 number 10 from the Omega Museum collection stole my heart. What a beau... 

The Breguet numerals and hand set and dial finish adds to the charm of this watch I feel. Thank you again! Best cordial regards, Abel

great taste I have to say. I am sure it is a keeper in your collection! Then the dial is lacquered? I would have bet it is in enamel. Cordially Thomas

... it is enamel. As a matter of fact the Omega web site mentions: "ivory colored dial" but not mentions enamel. Best, Abel

Exquisite workmanship. ...  

I would love to learn more about the white metal one on bracelet. It looks very promising. GEO

It is Hektor range produced in 99 pieces. 33 each in grey, green and blue dial variation. The first bracelet model introduced by L&H.

A brand which has been around for a while but did not catch my attention until recently.

Am quite taken with what they have been doing over the last years 👌🏻🙌🏻

A good team over at L&H and they are doing great stuff incrementally in no big rush.

Those 2 are rarely even photographed. Love it!

outstanding watch. It’s definitely on my wish list (in RG with black dial). And I have never realized the Hektor. Two stunning pieces from L & H you don’t see often. Many congrats Thomas

L&H is still bit under the radar. The Georg was made to order as there was no ready stock in the config I wanted.

After Marco Lang has left the company I was afraid the quality of production would go down. But fortunately this hasn’t come true. When I asked last year they told me, that it would have to be produced to order, too. Best Thomas

...  

To you a great weekend as well

Looking very sharp indeed 👌🏻😊👍🏻

The catch was a Kudoke 2 with a bright MOP dial. It still felt like just yesterday. Pictures taken this morning with the sunrise. Have a very nice weekend, everyone! ...  

.

The idea indeed came from the K2 Bauhinia model with a black MOP dial. When I heard about this model, all pieces were sold out. I am a sucker for MOP dial, so I was quite disappointed in missing the release. Then a collector friend encouraged me to contac... 

Definitely something to consider for one of the coming fishing expeditions 😉👍🏻

I could not agree more. Have a nice weekend!

and a nice wrist shot 👍

Hello dear KM and friends ! I have a few pieces that I have had the time to photograph, from my recent catch to share with you this weekend… The Blake & Mortimer 75th Anniversary by Reservoir… The Secret Of The Swordfish … Mission To Saturn - Moon S watch...  

That Resevoir is a jump hour ? Looks so cool 👌🏻

It’s a lot of fun and if you can get the books they are a very good.

The Moonswatch is a playful timepiece. And I love the vintage Connie and its beautiful arrow head indexes. Enjoy these catches so much my dear friend! Cheers, Abel

Yes, I have the books. The artwork and the stories are very good. The background to my photos of the watch are from the books. The Secret Of The Swordfish. It’s a genuinely charming watch and the Jump Hour function offers endless fun. I feel the MoonSwatc... 

... fond of comic books. Regarding watch: agree that the jumping hours complication adds to the interest and charm of the watch. Interesting to know your view of the MoonSwatch which complements your Speedy collection. Enjoy these pieces so much my friend... 

The books are good fun and the artwork is superb. As for the MoonSwatch this one has suddenly gone missing from my collection 😉…. ...
