. . . I'm so drawn to Railmasters. :-) Love the theme, Damjan, but have never personally shared with a loved one yet . If that day ever comes, it will probably be . . . . . . this vintage Omega tank, ca 1940. Giving it away will be reason enough to find a...  

. . . about golden ratio rectangular watches, no?

This LeCoultre: Galaxy from 1955. 37 diamonds, 350 USD... One of the very few models double signed LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin. This Monday she gave me this… See link: HAGWE Blomman ...

For the gift watch and the baby. Enjoy the baby. They grow up fast those days. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you everybody for your kind wishes! :) The little guy is not even one week old and have started to ask about the Polaris... Maybe it was a mistake to introduce it to him before he was even born! I better put a lock on the watch box from now on... ;)...  

My wife is very jealous about her watches, in special after she did the "Watchmaker for a day" at the IWC Boutique. I could not believe but she was able to dismantle completely a movement, assemble it back and it was working! My friends say that I go to h...  

. . . Dr No said, "Pretty please!" :-)

pretty :)

A few years ago (or perhaps a bit earlier), I was rapidly approaching my 40th birthday. I had been struggling for a long time what to try and get - something from 1972. At that time, I was a pure diving watch guy - Subs, Seadwellers, and of course my belo...  

Great story dear Tony and great watch You've been turned to dark side completely bezel can tell :) Yours D

...it must be the Sub / Seadweller in me not wanting to completely give up the black bezel!! LOL! But I kept the pepsi insert, just trying to find a bezel ring now, so that I can swap about easily without popping the insert each time. cheers Tony

. . . is when man's best friend gets in on the action ;-) . . .

...that man's best friend can have, when it comes to a present to it's owner ;-) LOL! cheers Tony

The watch is fine but the HAND oh my, what a beautiful hand. Very sensual! Have a great weekend. Cheers Francois from Down Under

now I'm sure you have good card to play this week Yours D

I am afraid my compatriot Roger lost his hand to your Marin Cilic. Congratulations to Marin:) Cheers Francois from Down Under

Looking forward next weekend then Best Damjan

Congratulations Marin....... Cheers Damjan! Francois

Thank you for support Francoise Yours D

Well when it comes to Ladies watches, often horological complications are less appreciated and the focus shifts to precious metals and stones. I want to contribute two entries: GP Richeville 2658 (automatic movement) given to my loved one 2 years ago And ...  

No message body

and how a propos Thank you Damjan

...  

Yes, there is a world outside of GP for me too :) I did gave a Reverso many years ago as well. CC

Does CC have something else than GP watches? ;) Best, Nicolas

what else maybe some GMT as well? ;) Yours D

In fact, each summer, I let her play with. I think I will have to find one for her. Not necessarily mini dial, a good old 1675 will fill the bill... Best, Nicolas.

.. needless to say, that the nice glass of white wine is always welcome and goes well with watches.. Why? Well, all aren't these stimulating our senses ?! .. Wine.. Watch.. Not to forget the Lady, of course.. Best, hs :)

But I just love your photo of her in the great dress that matches the Rolex Pepsi. And the jlc rouge shot also. Heck, it appears your wife looks great in most of your watches! You better look out, you may find a few missing! Hagwe Nicolas Joe

But I can deal with that... Best, my dear Joe. Nicolas

I wear rather tough tool watches...I like mechanical watches but after offering a few to my wife I had to admit she doesn't like mechanical watches and what she really wanted was this.... so I had to buy it!... enjoy your WE Matt ...

....I recently tried to convince my wife to let me buy an Explorer, that we could both wear...... The fashion today, apparently, is for women to wear watches that look as though they could be there husband / boy friends watch, according to my wife. Well, ...

I always enjoyed a good read so no harm done here As for "Initially a '1/2' birthday gift.." You rascal you ;) :) Best D

My wife and I love Amsterdam and of course Paris. That green strap is just perfect and lovely, as well as the tic tac! Great selection for her! Hagwe Joe
