Here are a few of what i would consider my 'specials',for various reasons The BP,purchased after a rather vinous lunch on new year's day almost twenty years ago....a bit of an impulsive buy,but enjoyed so much since....the dangers of alcohol and friend A ...  

I particularly like the fact that you have special memories of the day you purchased them. That’s one of the pleasures of collecting them.

... include it among your Special ones. Your Credor unexpected purchase is another great addition to your collection. Agree with your description which makes for the versatility of this classic looking timepiece. And the WPS Zenith is always a pleasure to... 

The BP full calendar is certainly one of these wonderfully elegant pieces, as is the Credor in a very different way 👌🏻👍🏻 And the P15 is special to many of us 🙌🏻

Like you said there are more ,,Special ,,watches but i will pick just 3 that are imported from me as a Collector. A AK06 which represents almost everything i look for in a watch . Hard to beat this one imho Another special watch for me is the Remontoire ....  

Hello dear Watchonthewrists, I didn’t realise that your journey with independent watches started with the CDVK, definitely a memorable moment. The AK06 is an epic piece and the Remontoire is a modern classic. Best regards Captain

I imagine that the CDVK is a very special piece in your collection as being your introduction to your idependent experience. As it is usually said: you entered that fascinating world through a big door! Now your AK06 is another fantastic timepiece. Our de... 

That must have been quite a challenge, to pick three 😊👌🏻 And what superb choices 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

… but if I must these three The Lange and the Journe are hard to find in their respective configurations (Roman numerals and on the bracelet / 38mm) and the AP sonnerie is just incredibly satisfying to wear. Great theme! Andreas ...  

... from this brand. I love the strong personality in design which is displayed in every model they offer. Yours is a very special one considering its complications. Same can be said about your superb Lange. How not to fall in love with them? I can well i... 

well thought out theme that really resonated with me! Best, Andreas

I’m happy to know you liked the theme and that invited to thoughts. Cheers! Abel

.. a certain pref of that splendid AP, pure and clean – a fine watch, a very fine watch ! Not more, no less ! – Thx for sharing your threesome and continue to wear them in the Best of your health !! Cheers !😊😊

and stealthy. Well spotted. Thanks! Andreas

They give me joy, for sure. Best Andreas

And what a collection 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻

My second watch for this weekend is the ledgendry Omega Speedmaster. This Speedmaster is a special one for me as it took me many years to find it. It’s is from 1967 with the rare case produced by Centrale Boîtes and is the same reference that went to the ...  

... you had a long hunt to find it as I am after one myself since long time and it has been very elusive to me. May be some day I´ll be lucky! As I often say: "Good for Astronauts, good for me!" Great shots to share it here my dear friend. Keep enjoying a... 

I wish you luck with your search.

And well worth the effort to find it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Dear Subexplorer & Team, – I just throw in my hat with three pieces, not that easy to focus n just these few.. These are special to me, mainly as I had been hunting them for a while, and secondly these cover an important core of my humble „collection“...  

You share here an awesome selection from your collection. (I may say that I love your concept of "humble" referring to your collection! Lol!) Your Breguet epitomizes the design, finish and exquisite details (e.g.: guiloche dial) which characterizes the Br... 

.. I always feel, we both share the pleasures rendered by our watch passion represented by our personal collections & choices. - As we mutually have commented in the past, often - sort of true „horological twins, (Lol !!) also evidenced by a number of Ref... 

... we have diiscovered that we are true horological twins! And I enjoy so much sharing similar tastes in watches and viewing your collection and commenting. Regarding our Winter Season: Fortunately our cold temperatures never reach such low levels of som... 

Great pieces and especially like the capture of the guilloche dial 👌🏻👍🏻

My mom gave it to my dad the first christmas they were married. Runs and keeps time like a brand new watch. ...  

Superb.

It was nice to have it recognized for this event.

It's what they wore daily from 1971 through the 2000s. Feels great on my wrist, though what some may interesting is the sound of the clangy bracelet is perhaps just as important. Never consciously realized it was dad's 'soundtrack'... until i wore it. Hop...  

Interesting to read what you say about the sound of the bracelet reminding the sound of your Dad. I am so accustomed to the sound of my vintage Submariner bracelets which have been with me for almost 50 years that I feel strange the "silent" bracelets of ... 

I also feel you other members' pain here, deciding on "only" three. How can we choose just three?? Please don't tell my other lovely watches that they didn't make the final cut. They will be hurt imensely. I think what makes these special to me, over my o...  

... a very hard task for our community members so I finally decided for three. This was to put a bit of pressure and induce to some thoughts to our participants to make the theme more challenging and interesting (and also to make things easier to our judg... 

I enjoyed sharing my story about these 3.

Have a nice Sunday! Abel

My Montblanc collection villeret 1858 vintage pulsographe is my favorite watch. I believe I became interested in watches around 2006. My first nice watch was an iwc pilot chronograph a few years later. That coincided with a JLC, some omegas, and so on. At...  

As a "not rolex guy" I simply love this watch. I always loved the Pepsi bezel and on jubilee was a delight. After 2 years I believe got the the call from the AD, very happy. I guess the good part about getting rolex after collecting other brands is you do...  

... waiting required to get a Rolex nowadays. It´s a great watch whith a very interesting and useful complication. Keep enjoying your so much! Cheers! Abel

Nice shots, too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

😊😊

... make it possible to own it finally. This is a watch you can enjoy viewing at both sides as the dial is fantastic and its movement awesome. Agree with you regarding to the size of presentation boxes of some watches. Sometimes I also wish the watch woul... 

And one I would love to add to the collection someday. The size, dial, movement, all fit to a T 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Hello Abel Nice theme this month and enjoying everyone’s posts. My least worn watch but always enjoyed. Thank you for hosting. 🍻 ...  

It looks so nice on your wrist with that well worn yellow Nato. The golden dial of this watch is awesome!! Thanks for sharing. Hagwe! Abel

Kind words indeed! More luck than skill I think. 😉

And love your pairing - superbly judged 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻

The first is the most special because it's on the wrist of my wife: This one is special because it's on my 7 parts sweet potato, 2 parts chaos goblin, 1 part sociopath kitty Richard. ...  

The Breguet is a superb watch and looks gorgeous on your wife´s wrist. The Credor is a very classic versatile design of course. Looks like your cute kitten likes it too! Lol! Keep enjoying so much! Thank you for your entry and Hagwe! Abel

Here it is again on my 8 parts sweet potato, 2 parts hungry old man kitty Roger: ...  

The international supermodel !

Good to see this elegant piece being enjoyed by your wife and your Credor is a classic piece.

Here go some of mine 👍🏻 ...  

.. Hi–Beat 35k with that wonderful dial is a compelling piece as well. I like this blue strap also !! 👍 – Continue to enjoy your Specials in the very Best of your health ! Chapeau and Cheers ! 😊😊

The second even says ‘Special’ on the dial, so hard to omit 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Absolutely fabulous and a watch that definitely qualifies as “The Special One”.

Everything I have been looking for in a ‘special’ watch according to my taste 😊👌🏻🙏🏻

I struggled to reduce the number and then it was the lack of time at the airport which forced my hand a bit 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

... accurate and dials to die for. What else? Beautiful example you share here. Thank you so much for your entry my dear friend. Have a nice Sunday! Abel

Thanks a lot for the kind words Abel, much appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

My final choice is the first Patek Philippe watch that I owned and started my passion for the legendary watch maker. It’s also the watch that I wore on my wedding day and will always be with me on my wrist and in my heart… Great watches, great chocolate )...  

The chocolate never disappoints 😉

Enjoy your Sunday my dear friend. Abel
