You ought to remember that your love ought to be exclusively reserved for your father ;-) I will post some more images of this one and ... All the best to you my Son. PoyFr
It is all about the meriting few (and I was not a part of it). Today the privileged few is foremost about what’s hanging out one’s pocket, I am still part of those that need counting how much I can spend, but I have been and I consider to be p...
Hi PoyFR Just feeling playful. There is no way faux patina can ever have the allure of the real thing. I know Panerai is creating "trying to create" new versions of the real thing but what you is pure class. What a master piece. Thanks for sharing and enj...
I agree with you many are trying to produce (reproduce) a trend, but rarely they succeed to take one’s mind from the authentic. I agree with you some come close and succeed in providing affordably The Look. Those watches without their enriching hist...
Like many I enjoy the forums here but one place I enjoy a lot is the Friday Wristscan, when I cannot see it or participate I stand frustrated. Thank you for your generous compliment. PoyFR
In the past I wrote and reported on many the vintage Panerai pieces, I miss that time! Last year I was working of some texts about the 1940's and 1950's pieces as well as some prototypes of the 80's but never got around finishing anything. They are a coup...
The hour hand is adjustable by a watchmaker to any orientation on the dial, but is designed to cover one of the four US timezones as home time. So mine is set to eastern time, where I live. When I travel to California, I don't reset the time at all, just ...
Just make sure there no other snakes around that may be in mating season. LOL Great watch thanks for sharing. Can't say I have ever seen one in the flesh. HAGWE Bill
. . . and a terrific match for your Jaeger. I remember this photo well, Matt . . . should I ever replace the green croc on my Longines, it will be with a similar shade of ostrich shin. Cordially, Art
Taken yesterday night on my way back from a Patek novelties evening (sorry for the quality ) A last one just for a clearer shot of the Eiffel tour : Have a good sunny week-end all, Mark...
Huge congratulatons, Patrice. I'm really happy that you decided to go on it. Every serious collection should include an U.T, IMO. Enjoy it, my friend. Nicolas.
So quickly post this old shot of my Omega SM Diver which qualifies for reading in the dark on-call duty room: Have an enjoyable weekend everyone, stay well, anaesdoc...
this arrived on tuesday, yet another from 1964 with a beautiful dial and the cost was less than i've spent on a meal in London at a GTG all pics taken yesterday i readiness for todays thread. the black painted tips give a great illusion of facetted marker...
the thing is Nicolas, most of my '64 pieces are watches you probably wouldnt want to own. you wouldnt be interested in a gold filled Bulova auto, its only the iconic pieces that appeal to you. there are however several iconic pieces in the collection as y...
Even less of gold filled watches, but I have to admit that your lust for your ( our ) birth year watches is just fascinating me. The funny thing is that I noticed that some dealers offered to find the watch of your birth year. Graham, you're a genius, you...
i didnt think of the idea Nico. the Vintage rolex store in London lists the date of all its watches in the window and another one specialises in birth year pieces. my brother had great fun seeing if he could find a 1960 watch better than his Freccione. ob...
Hi Graham, when reading " despite my age i can still drink my 22 year old son under the table " I wondered whether your son might not be motivated to outdo you as his father. That´s a natural thing in father-son relations, but probably you should divert h...
dont worry Doc, i dont encourage his drinking. he grew up into adulthood 200 miles away from me so i had little input into this and he knows how to party without me helping. he has plenty of other activities and rarely drinks to excess(having said that he...
Over here in Germany we face the same problem with binge drinking which led to a significant increase of hospital admissions due to seriously intoxicated juveniles, often only in their early teens. One even died and the innkeeper who provided the alcohol ...
My daughter will be visiting from LA (Mother's Day this weekend in the US) and Mom is taking her to a baseball game in the afternoon sunshine. She will do her drinking with her high school friends in the evenings. Luckily the innkeeper (me) provides car p...
thanks Ginger, is 1964 or binge drinking my theme, i forget sometimes luckily i'm staying at the hotel we'll be drinking in and he's only a walk from home. they still live with their mum and i dont think i can get away with staying at my ex wife and husba...
