Given that 'Omega'...
...is the twenty-fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, you might have thought that it would be disallowable under Scrabble rules as a 'foreign word' ['foreign letter'???], wouldn't you?
Not so, apparently: at least, not according to the nifty online word checker: click here
(Sorry - a quick OCD O.D.!)
Great piece and great photo, by the way!
Cheers,

May 14th.... 1...8....7
Inspired by Nicolas post about the European GTG.... a purist watch today.... not my photo (credit to Nicolas I think) a friendship watch... HAGWE Cheers...
As a coincidence ...
I will wear almost the same watch, my friend, but in a different version, tomorrow... HAGWE! Nicolas...
Maybe.....
you should reconsider my friend.... and wear the Paris edition..... No. 7 should do likewise..... Cheers ps re-reading this it does sound like Spektre... lol
Nr Seven... Sounds strange! :)
On this one, it is Nr 24...Like the 24 Hours Le Mans Race... Best, Nr 8, and 2! Nicolas
Sorry my friends ...
But today ... Lange 1. I was on my wrist my 1-7-8 last Saturday HAGWE Patrice...
One of my favourite watches, Richard...
What a fun and young watch! Best, my friend. Nicolas
AMVOX2 for me today as well...
...however this particular picture was from last week, after a Bocelli concert... ;-)...
I begin to wonder how many we are, here, on PPRO, to own an Amvox II
Community watch? Great to see that you love it! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-05-14 12:37:59
Yes, I will start it in a very few weeks, as I promised to post
Other threads before... Best, Nicolas
Reverse ?
Reverse, obverse, inverse, converse, opposite, polar, antipode, contrary, diametric, back, counter, flipside, contrariant, backside, rear or, perhaps, just the other side! Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grand Date, Ref. 300.84.20 (Cal. 875), 28800vph, 25 jewels...
One of my (if not the) favourite Reversos
The Grande Date is really a watch of extraordinary beauty (both sides). It is one of the hot candidates for my first new JLC. Best, Martin
So hope I
The front, far, light, dial, outer, presentation side of the Grande Date is at least as tempting as the back, near, dark, movement, hidden one. Thank you, Andrew, for the pictures! Best, Martin
Good choice for every day ...
Thanks Stefan, As you can see from the date, I wound this last Sunday in preparation for the week. It has been a while since I wore the GD and I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to wear a long power reserve watch. The RdM is icing on the cake as it acc...
Past midnight ...

A pseudo Compressor
A very simple, or should I say pedestrian, watch, but I love the 70s look and the pseudo compressor case: Don't know why but looks better on a 70's style B/W. Cheers to all, Nilo...
Why pseudo?
Not sure it is not a Compressor Case... Can you provide us more pics of this Tissot? Very nice picture, by the way! Best, Nicolas
The pseudo compressor
Nicolas, I use the term "pseudo" because there is, I believe but I will double check, no "helmet" on the case back. As far I know, the "compressor" case derives from a patent made by Ervin Piquerez, that was licensed to some companies (JLC, Longines, Enic...
Looks very good, Nilo!
Question? Is it the same crowns on that one as the Polaris and the LLD? HAGWE Blomman
lovely Tissot Nilo. it may not be by EPSA, but its from the same family of dive watches
it has IMO the right to sit in amongst any collection of supercompressors. probably more right than my UG Polerouter which is a single crown supercompressor with all the correct Brevet numbers for EPSA. great pic as well BTW. best Graham
Tissot crowns
Blomman, The Tissot uses regular Tissot ("T") crowns, as you can try to see on this pic: Cheers, Nilo...
Nilo...I still wonder if it is not a super compressor case...
It has been used by so many brands ( around 20 different brands ) that I don't swee why Tissot didn't use it... It really looks like a Super Compressor case. Would be interested to see the inside part of the case back... Best, Nicolas
A master is a ... Master
Nicolas, You were 110% correct, one more time. Stopped by my watchmaker and had the Tissot open: Now I have a true compressor case. Is not a Polaris but ... it's cool and I'm looking this watch with another eyes. Notice that the case back is "bayonet styl...
Nilo, i dont think...
Nilo, i dont think that little 'diver' symbol on the inside represents EPSA. i've seen a number of watches including standard Omega seamasters with that symbol. i think it just symbolises a water resistant watch. to find tissot production dates google Tis...
No master here, my friend...
Just a guy who try to find his way... Best, and congrats on your Super Compressor Case!!! Nicolas
here is the caseback of super compressor...
... here is a pic of inside caseback of my Fortis, you can clearly see the "Super Compressor" logo and words and also other words like "Brevet..." . as Graham said, the small logo appeared on the inside caseback of your watch can be found in my many Omega...
Nilo, it may not...
Nilo, it may not be an EPSA super compressor, but it is still the same in essence. a double crown dive watch with internal rotating bezel. lovely watch whoever made the case. best Graham
i also got one diver very similar with yours..
recently, i got one Fortis Marinemaster which also has two crowns, the caseback of mine looks very similar as yours that also has a big something like marine logo. i don't have tool to open the caseback, but according to the photos provided by the seller,...
looks like a Super Compressor case to me !!!
Hi please post scans of the back and inside caseback... It looks like a real Super Compressor case. Good Hunting Bill Sohne

Too late for the roll-call but just in time for mid-night and a first wrist shot. Have a great weekend everyone. This message has been edited by Nomer on 2010-05-13 16:51:35...
Never too late for the Roll Call, my friend...
Please do so! Can't agree more with your choice. Best, Nicolas
Another non-Pam fan ...
Hi Arthur, Nice to see your new Pam. As another non-Pam fan, I seem to find myself looking at Panerai's every few months and trying some on. Perhaps I am late to the 'party', but there is still something that draws me to these watches. Unlike you, however...
Hi Andrew
well for me, there isn;t a right PAM as frankly, they all look rather the same for me. How did I end up with the 326? Well, I don't bother with the movement for PAMs because there isn't much to bother about for "Pam" movements. SO its down aesthetics...no...
Omega is a five letter word (triple word score)
Giving this one a run today. HAGWE Regards, Richard....
Good to see that …
You have use of your watch knowledge in this game, Richard How many points for Seamaster? Very nice photo and watch! Best Blomman
Even considering my preference for Omega . . .
. . . that is a brilliant photo . . . very nicely done!
Brilliant photo, Richard, both in ...

In anticipation of a long plane flight tomorrow,,,

Nice Polerouter, Ginger.
More pics before you go for Holidays! Enjoy, and come back safe. Best, Nicolas
The Watch I Am Wearing Today!!!
One of my first mechanical watches....a Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Calendrier Retrograde and I love to wear it! Y'all have a great weekend, you hear?...
nice piece Laurens. as you know i'm a bit of an ML fan
i was wearing my jour et nuit during the week which is a bit of a coincidence. best Graham
Who knows what I am wearing? Only the shadow knows ...
Could it be this one - the Opus hasn't been out for awhile ... No. Um, Oris? Sinn? Rolex? IWC, UN, Seiko? Stowa, how about the Stowa. No, just wore it a few days ago. Purists ABR? Swatch? Breitling? MIH? Sheesh. Too many choices. I think I'll stick with o...
These pics
are simply crazy! I love it! The hard part certainly is to be late for work every day ;-) Best, Martin

I thought of posting a picture of this (new) old marvel on the Omega forum but then realised that Art would be equally happy if I posted here. photo credit of previous owner. hagw...
Love it!
An excellent idea, you got here... A beauty in awesome condition. HAGWE, Nicolas
Why, why did I ever start…
To join the Friday WS? All these great looking vintage divers are killing me! HAGWE Blomman
I think that's the idea ...
... sweet torture for the weekend. But what better than to see real life watches on real live wrists. Certainly focuses the mind on what is desirable. A
Yes, sweet torture it is! :)
The problem is to stay focused – so many awesome watches around! My mind is racing in many different directions after seeing a Friday WS-show! Best Blomman
Very nice.
Please post some more photos of this one on the Omega forum when you have some time. Regards, Richard.
Thanks
Nicolas, Graham, Blomann & Richard. Yes I will post more at a a later stage in the Omega forum. Hagw
