Truly nice Foursome !.. 👌
.. Whereby the 2 Longines and the CK 859 are my favs.. - Well done & Best, 😊😊
Great choices dear Yacomino!! And you share them in stunning shots. I specially love your two Longines here. Both dial and case make them so charming.
The vintage looking bracelet in the second Longines adds charm to the watch. Is an aftermarket or OEM bracelet? Good you share the CK859 Omega. I was tempted to share mine too but I didn´t include. I´m happy you share your here as its dial really deserves...
You are welcome dear Yacomino. Thank you for the clarification about…
… the “bamboo” bracelet. Forstner makes some great recreations of vintage bracelets indeed. This one adds charming vintage vibes to your Tuxedo dial Longines. Lovely!! Keep enjoying so much your superb collection my friend! Best Abel
The Explorer II exerts a pull on your truly . . .
. . . as one of the most unexpectedly vivid dial designs ever. You wouldn't think flat black-framed markers and hands set against a matte white dial canvas should come off that evocatively, but Rolex pulled it off to great effect. Art
Hello dear Art! Fantastic Theme you choose for this weekend.
The dial is the “face” of watch and as your Helen Omega shows it gives a strong and attractive character to a watch making her so special. I must admit that many watches in my collection were a love at first sight just after viewing their dials. Interesti...
Hello, dear Abel !.. You again-as so often- selected a very nice line-up..
And I do agree with your notion that frequently you feel drawn to a piece, which already at the beginning has exercised a strong attraction, once the face has been the most obvious factor. This time I specifically liked the classic „Meters-First“ Sub 5512...
Hello dear HS! You are always so kind to view and comment my posts with much detail. You make me feel like two old friends viewing our respective collections and pointing the details of each piece.
I wish we will have the chance of meeting in person. Will be a great pleasure for me to do it some day soon. Regarding your kind comments. Glad you liked my old 5512. Not every collector approves this kind of dial. I have my doubts sometimes too. But the ...
We really should arrnge another meeting . . .
. . . of our Flightmasters. Tentatively planning on visiting the UK next spring, and my cousin Vic will be coming along, too. If you can join us, we'll have a photo with all three! ...
That would be wonderful dear Art. I would love to make it and have the pleasure of meeting you and your cousin Vic and ... can you imagine a triple FM wrist shot? !!
Considering our present local conditions in my Country I can´t program the trip right now, but we´ll stay in touch regarding this with much pleasure. Let´s keep in touch Art!!
Fascinating selection …
All are interesting and diverse. On the point of Patina or decay, we could talk for hours on this subject and I would also compare it to classic cars. Each watch or car should be considered on it’s individual beauty. It’s not easy to preserve something an...
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind and thoughtful comments on this old 5512 and on the subject of patina, decay and restoration. Agree with you.
In this particular watch which I found several years ago I finally decided to go for it after much thought and evaluation. You describe it so well its dial which gives a lot of character to this old workhorse. Have a nice Sunday my dear friend. Abel
Great theme!
I have two that I bought mainly because of the dial. The first being the legendary (😉) CK 859. I first saw it on this forum and it was immediate love at the first sight. I always regretted parting with my 5296G sector, and this reminded me so much of it. ...
Thank you so much!
Dont wear it as often, but can never part with it. The dial is just too good.
Type XX is, in my estimation, one of the most appealing chrono dial designs ever . . .
. . . and your Matthey-Tissot is proof it doesn't have to be a Breguet to retain its allure. Thanks for sharing this week!
Oh, Art, where to begin!?!...
First, though, a question: what is the point? What. Is. The. Point??? After seeing the close-ups of Fabrizio's 'Volutes et Arabesques' Calatrava, everything else is just lemonade! Sure, every one of Fabrizio's special Pateks is ...special... but that one ...
Wow !.. You have inundated us with terrific pieces!.. From these..
I specifically liked your Jaquet Droz Paillonee, your UJ & the Klings Open Piece Unique ! Well done, Chapeau !! 😊😊
You've gotta hand it to Fab, he sure knows . . .
. . . how to pick his spots! If ever a theme were tailored to one guy, The Dial of Destiny is it ;-) . . .
First of all: great theme!
On the UJ I really like the case and lugs, but the dial and hands was what I really fell for. And of course the design of the dial on the Lange 1. ...
I couldn’t resist …
Hello dear Art and friends, I couldn’t resist a couple of Moser shots ) … You know you’re going to have a good day with this one on your wrist … ...
Late addition!
For JML A 16 yr old fell in love with the Quartz equivalent of this dial. Regards ...
Saw a Pogue in the wild a few years ago . . .
. . . at my doctor's office, of all places. A nurse was wearing one. "Nice Seiko. Are you a collector?" He looked incredulous. "Uhh . . . no, it's just the only watch that was left over from my grandfather's estate. My cousins picked over the good stuff, ...
Blue is such . . .
. . . an expressive color. Glad you got in at the last moment! Wrist Scan will be closing up shop momentarily . . .
