In our traditional medical practice one needs to drown the virus in some strong beverage but this has not been universally endorsed by peer reviewed scientific publications so far Hope you get better soon!

Better now. Voice is back. Lungs OK. I'm dangerous! MTF ...  

Irrespective of the ‘medicine’

Well, from my stable of timepieces, I guess, there are just two which qualify.. The first I have shared in the last weeks, but as it represents my only inherited one, which I really cherish, this entry again. It is an early Seamaster dress watch, as case,...  

It seems that in addition to the love of the pieces, their history and the great execution that Omega and JLC brought to bear here, it is the relationship to your wife and father in law that will make it extra special Thanks for sharing these stories and ... 

Hope you’re back in Vienna safe and sound. Have a great weekend my friend

birthday present from SheWhoMustBeObeyed, from which I have made the following conclusion : 1) I married the wrong woman 2) She has learnt nothing from me horologically after all these years 3) She doesn't love me that much after all. after all that is sa...  

And it appears you happily wear the watches given to you by her - looks like there is a very harmonious relationship there after all Have a great weekend!

Luckily just having come home from vacation I went and got all the watches from the vault, so they "fall readily to hand", and as I look them over, many said "I was a gift!" First from family close to me: Chronoswiss OPUS Skeleon - given to me on my birth...  

Mike, as always you‘ve outdone yourself. Many cool pieces and stories there And I wasn’t aware that the Aerospace played such a role in your journey - cool!

Great set of gifts.

from my father, to me, to my sister, to my father and back to me. HAGWE! ...  

The Titus made. A lovely piece and shot, JPoros

Thanks for sharing it. And a super photo too with unreal focus on those bricks. Mike

. . . starting with my first manufacture mechanical, a Rolex Air-King . . . . . . that mirrored the example depicted above. Awarded on the occasion of five(!) years of service for the Bahrain Petroleum Company, it was acquired by my Dad from a co-worker w...  

. . . to get it back from mrsnak. Unfortunately for me, he'd grown fond of it, and refused to let it go. ;-) Best, Art

I remember you writing on the Bahrain Petroleum Company one before and was aware of the Mark II story. But great additional detail and some lovely shots. Have a great weekend Art!

... you got some beautiful watches as presents! I wish to share a watch I received last year from a friend and watch lover who lives in Spain. It made a long trip via USA to reach me in South America. It is not a costly watch but it it is priceless to me....  

I have forgotten to include my Poljot I got from my father in the initial post (have posted it in Nilo‘s pilot watch post yesterday). Soviet watches have a different charm and I enjoy them quite a bit - not that I‘m an expert. And the friendship will of c... 

... for you being a present from your Dad! Keep loving and enjoying your Poljot my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel?

Will do so - need to find a watch maker to fix it, though. While the movement is a licensed copy of the Valjoux 7734, the parts are not fully interchangeable, so it’s access to those that tends to make it complicated

Will post the results as soon as I do

Now you have inspired me to look for one over here.

We may soon develop a liking and you being closest to the source...

Petrodvorets...

... Thank you for your kind comments dear friend Zabreg! Hagwe! Abel

In Russian watches a while ago but it remains a subject with less information and more difficult access. I hope that will change and Raketa for one has had a restart with technical support from the Swatch Group and some distribution in ‘the West’, Paris f... 

There have been a handful of dealers in the German speaking world but few persisted. Raketa AD in Paris is definitely a new development

Very grateful. Regard Tyler ...  

What can I say - we‘re quite a community

Is a small watch compare to today's standard but I like the watch alot

Due to the slim bezel designs they use, so they hardly look out of place even on stronger wrists. Great piece!

the only watch I always have with when being abroad and the only watch I do not let anyone trying it ...  

Thanks for sharing it, Tyo! An engagement watch is such a cool idea - I feel we need to do more lobby work it to really take off

Though it is too late for me as I am not stupid enough to repeat a mistake, we can make a difference for our sons.

But as you say, let’s fight for our sons here...

Or a renewal watch. I don’t care what it will be named, but us deprived husbands are entitled to a watch! Period. ...  

Arie for president Maybe as a present each Father’s Day?

But even if not, one would probably not top more than 50 watches

...  

And even better to see how JLC has remained true to its roots 👍🏻 Thanks for adding this!
