Chopard 10:10 Wrist Shots
These are actual 10:10 wristshots and not "set" specially...
The current Mrs MTF is saying: "Why are we W-A-I-T-I-N-G to take this photo?"
Now she is saying: "Not another photo. You just took one a minute ago!"
I'm saying: What idiot would stand here for 10 minutes waiting for the hand to go round so I can capture the image of a "River of Time"?
Finally, my favourite:
Regards,
MTF

A bit late... but WristScan starts now with '10 Past 10'
Not good for my first week and to have a mix up... but lets see your best! Cheers Andrew This message has been edited by andrewluff on 2015-10-08 23:45:04...
OMG, the FF!! Any version breaks my heart! How badly I wish to find one!...
... Your Pakistani keeps my heart pumping " a toda marcha" ! ,) Have a nice week end mi querido amigo Nicolas! Abrazos, Abel.
What a pleasure to wear this one, Nico!
A watch made even more special due to the provenance you uncovered ;-). Abrazo, hermano!
Perfect background.. The Grand Canal in this summer City of yours !
Blue sky, water, boats are great ingredients, not to forget super gelato ! Cheers & HAGWE !
Beautiful Nico!!!
Looks great on that pile of old French gold and fantastic patina on the lume. Out of interest as I really love these old Blancpains, you mention Pakistani, does it have a certain engraving on the back to tell you that? Have a great weekend! Andrew
The only thing missing to perfection
Is a Scorpene submarine to go with the 50 fathoms and Pakistan
Submarine
The French have provided the Pakistani Navy with submarines in the past (not sure if Agosta or Scorpene class but believe the latter (Scorpene being a derived design anyway)). With a Pakistan Edition FF and a sea of French Francs, felt it was a suitable p...
Hi, Matt - the theme this week . . .
. . . revolves around images of watches set to 10:10 (or 10:09), in recognition of the aesthetically pleasing rendering of time (not to mention the current calendar dates of 10/9 and 10/10!). Can you possibly resubmit with your M-T set to 10:10? Thanks, A...
A serenade . . .
. . . to two rare birds. The Eagle and the Hawk John Denver frequently opened his shows with this number. Blessed with perfect pitch, his voice had a purity that appealed to many, including myself. Your vintage dive legends are similarly pure, Matt. Thank...
Brilliant 'cover' photo, Andrew . . .
. . . nicely done! I'll try to snap one of my calendar watches on 10/10 at precisely 10:10 and 10". Just in case that eventuality doesn't pan out, here's one of my stock images . . . . . . that fits the theme. Art ...
Love the Tiffany dial Art
I have seen the Tiffany & Co on other brands, never on Omega before, very nice piece. Only one observation which is that you needed to wait another minute to take the shot! 10, 10, 10, 10, 10... now that might take some work! Cheers Andrew
A minute early the first time . . .
. . . half a minute late the second. Sorry, Andrew - can't get my timing down this weekend! Art ...
Lovely dial
I take it that was prior to the latest (not so fortuitous) co-operation between the Swatch Group and Tiffany?
My 30T2rg most likely hails . . .
. . . from '46 . . . . . . judging by the movement number, so well prior to any recent collaboration. Cordially, Art ...
Lemania one crown Super-Compressor ....
Lemania one crown Super-Compressor A lesser known side of Lemania... Super-Compressor cases we started to talk about over at the GP forum. Will continue the discussion over at HoMe soon... HAGWE Blomman ...
Cool dial on the GP...
Reminds me of summer, it is blue or a light green? Very nice indeed Blomman, but for lighting love the first picture of the Lemania, the dial looks almost copper. Have a good one! Andrew
Yes, the dial looks like copper! :)
Not sure if it actually is copper plated. Thank you, Andrew! Best Blomman
I know this first one ( Lemania copper dial ).
I thought too long before getting it... Bravo!
You know this specific watch?!
Or this version? Got this one over a year ago... Thank you, my friend - hope you will find one soon! Best Blomman
German / Spanish dealer? If yes, I know this watch.
If no, I know it, too... It was and maybe is still for sale. Best, Nicolas
Lovely, both!
When did Lemania actually give up watch (as opposed to movement) production? Also have to say that the GP holds up well to intense time with the junior - respect!
Not sure which year...
If I understand correctly Lemania is now a part of Omega/Swatch group. Best Blomman

I also have to say...
...that the handbag may have gone better ith the 1963 PuristSPro Edition Chrono instead The river of time is a cool touch, though!
Chopard 10:10 Static Shots
Watches are easier to photograph when they don't move.... Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition PASSIONE ...
That red dial is a stunner!
but am not sure of your new handbag Melvyn and guess not practical in hot countries either! Cheers Andrew
Friends, this is my best 10:10 , 10 shot....
last time I was experimenting with my date settings on my Seiko watch, it got stuck on thursday and never moved again My Tissot settings are a bit smoother. to set. I hope you all have a great weekend Best Regards Edward ...
Yes, but look at this second hand it is so slim.... Along with the hour and minute hands it really makes this little watch more beautiful:)
no matter the time Thank you for your nice comment andrewluff Best Edward
Thank you for your question KMII ....
It is "Seiko sports 100" model from 1991. Regards Edward
Thank you for the picture
A very nice piece. Too bad that was the decade before I had a real interest in watches or the opportunity to do anything about it...
Thank you for your response KMII...
My interest in mechanical watches goes back to my childhood years with my first communion watch being a gold one . As funny as it can be I scratched the crystal glass the first day I wore it. Many opportunities arose over the years but In my case it was a...
Ah, priorities...
Know what you are saying. Luckily one hopes for further decades in which to enjoy the hobby, so there should be many opportunities Thanks for the story of your induction into mechanical watches - these are always interesting to read. My first was a quartz...
Hard to do ...
In special with an automatic watch. The freaking movement keeps running and here is the result: Here is my Ulysse Nardin Hammerhead Shark: Love the blue tones: In B&W, exquisite result (as usual photo was in color, processed to B&W): Static shots,...
I almost bought the hammerhead after diving with them...
and your first picture certainly reignites my love for the piece. I never got on with my M 22mm lens, but yours looks great... will have to try again! Great shots Nilo, Andrew
The Hammerhead is very nice ...
A way too flashy for my discrete taste but I love it. The M 22mm is a very nice lens. I tried to replace it with a 40mm (with the amazing expensive adapter) but is not that nice for my style of wrist shots. Cheers, Nilo
looked through all of my pictures
this is the only one I could find, a 5146 that is long gone HAGWE, Andreas ...
Just two quick examples from me...
as I'm on the road and don't have much time, here are two I have found on my laptop: Richeville Chronograph 2710: And Vintage GP small seconds. HAGWE! CC ...
GP's at different end of the spectrums...
Both beautiful, but my heart likes the dial of the second one! Cheers Andrew
Two very, very nice entries!
Agree with the others that the dial of the second appeals more but the pomme hands of the Richeville are very nice, too.
Beautiful dial!
and a beautiful Record Mike! What year is it from? I have a friend who has a similar one but from memory the date numbers are not blue. Would take some time but could be a super 10 shot! Cheers Andrew
Love the second shot!
Sharp, clear but has that certain dark moodiness that you want to go back and look at it. Fantastic shot Tyo! Cheers Andrew
Depending on country...
...some have a slightly alternative take - i.e. rising too wart will have you yawn for the whole day
Nice one Alex
Lovely clean dial and I so much prefer all these on the nato strap rather than the bracelet. Great pic. Cheers Andrew
Thanks, Andrew!
I agree with you in that the appeal of wearing a nato strap. I often do it on my modern Sub, but I\'ve only started doing so with the 5513 for the last couple of weeks. In all honesty, I think it will stay that way for a long time . Always a pleasure to h...
Thanks, KMII
I am rediscovering it thanks to the leather NATO which changed it completely. Cheers, Alex
