WristScan

. . . in memory of their fabled producer, Sir George Martin . . . . . . who passed away Tuesday. Please share a few of your favorite songs he had a hand in creating, along with your watch du jour . Personally, not a fan of the band he was most closely ass...  

I'm not a Beatles fan but Sir George Martin was remembered by his work with The Beatles and more: Something to remind us from the 60's: The space race and the Gemini. I'm on a blue phase? Cool as any Speedmaster Moon: A great weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...  

Harrison? Or Salieri? . . . yes, the Beatles had a 'blue' track. Numbingly awful, sad to say . . .

I am not a big fan of the Fab Four\'s earlier works. Personally, I think they got interesting starting with Rubber Soul. Revolver happens to be my favorite album and I think it\'s way better than the highly overrated Sgt Pepper..wearing my Speedy I got fr...  

. . . but I'll bet almost all of us admire Speedmasters. Art

Dedicated to Gemini iv

Just thought it was a cool shot. Aloha PuristS Tim ...  

I was getting ready to clean the Monza and was taken by the lume. Thanks for your kind remarks. Tim

.

. . . Vlad's favorite! ...  

not a big fan either, though they do deserve their place in music history. I also think that some of their later works are much better than the early hyped albums. Anyways, here is my Friday watch, the GP Sea Hawk II in Titanium. Wasn't there something ab...  

No message body

yes, black is cool, but I'm still craving for another blue one...

in 40mm case. I already have a fitting rubber strap in stock, "only" need to find the watch now ...  

I have a few more up my sleeves...

. . . Errol Flynn . . . . . . that first comes to mind, but there was also a 'B' film . . . . . . that's an even closer fit! ...  

Until tomorrow, I have been enyoying my new GP arrival : Like its "4 dials" changing color & translucency, accentuating different parts, hues & structures, (eg: Big Date, the Geosphere with Latitudes & Longitudes etc).. Traveller Gde Date, Moon, GMT with ...  

especially the GP Traveller GMT. And also congrats on the Railmaster, a true classic! CC

Varies its visual imoression and appeal, into 4-5 " duals", as Blomman has called it. Either way, it is a nice game to watch the rays of light play their reflections on the dial & how it differs in appeal. Thx again, dear friend ! Best, hs PS: I will brin... 

... one is the one that has been haunting me for a long time but with no luck finding one for my collection. That´s an elusive grial in my wish list, and a great example you have there! Keep loving and enjoying and have a great week end my friend! Cheers!... 

Yes, I\'m very happy with the new GP Trav Sapphire, which holds a constant joy to see the changes of translucency and highlights.. The Railmaster from \'58/\'59 was a super lucky NOS find. Thx again & Cheers, Always Best, hs

. . . on eBay recently, Abel, and for a more-than-fair price, too. Vintage Rails are hot now . . . the best time to get one was long ago. I wasn't able to compete for the one just mentioned - the bidding was out of my league. Art

. . . of my 'A' list, h, and your latest GP arrival is handsome enough, too. Warm regards, Art

.. Thx again ! Best, hs

... I was a very young lad of around 15 o 16 years old when the "Beatlemania" shocked my Country not much later than in Europe and USA in the mid 1960's. I was interested in many things lads were interested in on those far years, beyond chasing girls of c...  

.. But well understandable that you like those. Guess, my fav pic there is the one with that great sun reflection.. Cheers & HAGWE !

... a bit younger than Beatles age, but recently captured and in the middle of my honeymoon with them! Glad you like the shot of the Expl II with the sun reflection, it was a lucky shot! Have a nice week end my friend, and thanks a lot again!! Abel.

. . . in second grade, Abel. Most of my British (and a few American) classmates wore buttons . . . . . . supporting their favorite of the quartet that school year ('64 - '65). Art ...  

but I actually only have a few albums. Rest in peace, Sir George Martin. Have a great weekend. ...  

. . . and maybe six or seven dozen CDs, without a single Beatles album amongst them. That doesn't diminish my admiration for Sir George one whit, though . . . he was a brilliant producer. Cordially, Art

Being approximately the same age as Abel, I did a quick review of my iTunes library and learned I own: 7 Beatles albums with a total of 99 songs taking 4.8 hours to play vs a total of 640 albums of all sorts, with a total of 7404 songs taking 542.4 hours....  

. . . Stones fan, and pretty much the same . . . . . . when it comes to Grand Seiko. ...  

Liked the Beatles, but was always drawn more to the Mods. Not the best segue into a bullseye dial, but I tried! ...  

. . . we're talkin'! Clapton, Beck, and Page - need I say more?

that can be said about the Beatles. I loved their songs in my youth. As far as I can tell they all had have a very good tastes in watches. Very nice thread Dr No. Best Regards Edward ...  

. . . to a person who didn't live thru the experience at the time. Nothing like Beatlemania will ever happen again. Btw, that's quite a composition, contrasting the the stark minimalism of your Sinn against the hypnotically random pattern formed on a melo... 

gifted artists? Not only in pop music but in other art forms, nowadays many kitschy gold diggers make millions just by hypnotizing the $ giving masses Love your comment Dr No. Best. Edward

Double up: "I want to hold your hand" and "She loves you"! They even have 9 songs in the top 100 this year! Two years later in 1966, this song comes along.... Rolex ad, 1964 The watch is from III, 1963 - close enough? Rolex watch, III 1963 HAGWE Blomman ...  

- Truly a superb piece. - Bravo !! Cheers & HAGWE, again ! hs PS: - great Mesoscaphe ad, as well.. Sort of Jules Verne - like !

. . . and even earlier, but none were chart-toppers. Vintage GMTs, on the other hand, are always thread-stoppers!

A nice GMT works any year! Best Blomman

I can't help singing that song when I think about my last trip to Catalina Island Cazalea ...  

Same for me when I see you shots! Best Blomman

they are the eggmen... I am the Manatee... goo goo g'joob! HAGWE! ...  

Someday when the Apple watch people research the history of that product, our watches will skyrocket in value. Sadly we will be long gone before that day. Cazalea ...  

. . . between watch and Beatles song yet! Thanks for sharing, j. Art

..and look what was on sale at the PX! The latest sheet music for the Post-band piano player, and a Zodiac Aerospace GMT. HAGWE --Rick ...  

since 'Nam? Amazing! Well done. Mike

I\'m just a few years too young for the scenario, ha! --Rick

But can\'t hold onto things that long ... Cazalea

A small Vintage FF escape during the week end... Best, Nicolas ...  

.. on pics, or even better in the real; A definite high-class keeper ! Thx for the shared pleasure ! Cheers & HAGWE, my friend ! hs

The car wrist shot is epic, the subtle integration is so to my taste--I am vintage overwhelmed…. Thank you Sir, Tim

. . . within the same thread - amazing!

That I am a hardcore Beatles fan. Have thoroughly enjoyed exploring their music. ...
