I'm always pleased when others ...
... see what I see. The 1999 Chrono draws on so many classic chronograph designs. The blued hands are particularly nice and I like how you can see the blued underside reflected in the polished hour and minute hands and indices.

Enjoying a gorgeous spring morning . . .
. . . in So Cal at this very moment. What are you wearing today?...
I like this theme
A newly landed 1950 seamaster chronometre. It suits my wrist very well, I find. Conor...
Greetings from one bumper . . .
. . . to another! Much to admire . . . . . . about these vintage Omegas . . ....
It arrived yesterday morning
Impressions thus far - it feels big - like a 37 or 38 rather a 34 mm width, it makes a pleasing thud when I move and it has a strongly defined appearance - probably the effect of the wide lugs. It is holding time well too, not always to be taken for grant...
This is outstandingly beautiful! Thank you very much for this pic!
Great! Have a very nice weekend. Francois
Je vous remercie, tous les deux
The makers and previous owners are the true recipients of any praise
Simple pleasure ...
This is not my first Planet Ocean. I had another that was "removed" from me. Time passes and here we are ...me and a PO again. Simple, pedestrian to some, but a great watch. I love the overall design and the movement (Co-Axial escapement). Today I'm weari...
Three consecutive Seamasters . . .
. . . to get the ball rolling! It seems we have a sub-theme, too, Nilo . . .
Well, for me is a Seamaster week ...
I started with a Memomatic (that belongs to the Seamaster line) and I'm ending with a P.O. The Memomatic is here: wristscan.watchprosite.com / Cheers, Nilo
Brilliant pictures, as always, Nilo! [nt]

A watch never looks simple with your pics
The PO is for sure a future Omega icone Hagwe
I need a watch to...
Seduce the judges... And what could be better than one with a lot of sentimental backdround? HAGWE, All. Nicolas...
Ah, yes - I keep forgetting. French law is determined . . .
. . . by the Napoleonic Code: guilty until proven innocent! Good luck with the judges, Nico . . .
I need a big dose of fighting spirit, more than luck, though... ;)
Well, a small dose of corruption is always good, too, even though not in the Napoleon Code. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
My !!!???!!! Was what is wrong with you folks from
Over the Atlantic? Napoleon 's rules were not at all what you portray, I actually start to believe you wish Napoleon was Anglo! Cheers, no bad feelings Francois
Well, I'm not an attorney, François, but from a layman's perspective, it's . . .
. . . more difficult to prove innocence than to disprove guilt. Since our Nicolas is a defense attorney, he has a higher bar to overcome than his American counterparts, no? And as for Codes, I'm really more of a Hammurabi guy ;-) . . . This message has be...
Interesting indeed Art, The code of Hammurabi....
Also I concur totally with the presumption of innocence (as did Napoleon!) I am not so sure about the Lex Talionis though! Have a great weekend. Kind regards, Francois
LOL. At a certain time, he was Anglo... Didn't he have to live in the
Anglo Saxon Islands? Best from... Sainte Hélène.
Yes he did have to live out his life in an English Island
but before that he was exiled to Elba, where the famous English palindrome " able was I ere I saw elba " was coined. Cheers,dreamer This message has been edited by dreamer8 on 2012-06-03 07:32:51
hey dreamer, thats so famous...
hey dreamer, thats so famous a palindrome that i’ve never heard of it. what an uncouth uneducated fellow i am
Don't put yourself down,
G. I happen to like history due to my late Dad and that was something I remembered my Dad telling me many moons ago. I should have said an obscure English Palindrome instead of famous. Enjoy your great holiday Queen Elizabeth Jubilee celebrations. My Dad ...
Very nice shirt, Nico!
perfect with that elegant yet sporty RO. Good luck tomorrow. TM
Beautiful picture of a beautiful watch on a beautiful wrist!
Bonne fin de semaine Nicolas. Cheers from Down Under Francois
Did you have to bring Vincenzo . . .
. . . Pentangali . . . . . . with you to persuade them?...
I hope you fared well with the judges today, Nicolas
A superb wrist shot of a sentimental favorite. Best, respo
Not only the watch
The all setup is great ! I have this RO in my mind somewhere in the future, for sure Hagwe Nicolas. Mark
Thanks for the nice comment, Mark. [nt]

Thanks, Andrew. With this watch,
I convinced myself, which is a good start.... Best, my friend. Nicolas
That is a very nice shot Nico.
I was thinking of selling my triple date but this shot of your AP has caused a rethink.
Looks like you have a wonderful morning, Art! :)
And a beautiful companion..! HAGWE Blomman
Ah, the photo was taken . . .
. . . Sunday afternoon when Ken was visiting . . . timeout.watchprosite.com . . . but I'm wearing it today and into next week, Blomman. It is the most special watch of my small collection . . .
Most special...?
I would love to hear the story! Small collection...? You mean small in perspective of the size of your watches (34-39mm), yes? Because if I am not counting incorrectly.... You have a big and beautiful collection, my friend! Best Blomman
Ah, the story should only be told . . .
. . . in person, blomman; it is that remarkable. As for my collection, I only meant relative to some others here, like Cazalea, who has more watches than I have hairs on my head!
Parked in the sun!
Today's watch - not long ago, I was enjoying a similar moment with my gold Parking in the sun! HAGWE Blomman...
Here's a better view of the field mustard flowers . . .
. . . from last Sunday. Green grass in Sweden, wild flowers in California, all nurtured by the sun . . ....
Looks...
... SoCal is the place to be! It has been over 10 years since my last visit. I will have to make a change of that! Love your pic - "Blomman" in Swedish="The Flower" Best Blomman
Arghhh I'm so jealous!
Did you get to see the Mathieu/Isner marathon? Oh, and by the way, really nice watch!
Looks like you are thoroughly enjoying the 4101!
And it looks perfect in that environment. I hope you noticed there was tennis being played? Andrew
Top!
Actually, since I started wearing spring drives, I don't worry about accuracy any longer ;-) When I got the Izul I clocked it and it was dead on after 10 days, so after that....
As quiet as a cold night in Alaska.
All I hear is the rotor winding the mainspring...
Beautiful watches friends! Viewing so many great Omegas...
... made me decide this is the brand to wear this week end. I chose one of my favorite models within the Omega brand: Constellation. I wish Judges will like it. I love to see this watch, and details like the tiny brand symbol almost "floating" over the ha...
To celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II....
Diamond jubilee (60 years serving her country & the commonwealth) this weekend. I am going to wear my 61 year old 5512 in her honour HAGWE everybody as we in Great Britain celebrate in a grand style Regards Tony...
Tony that is one beautiful 5512
You got its all there. Glossy Gilt - two Line - Chapter Ring - Pointy Crown Guard and Exclamation to boot. Did I miss anything. Yeah 7206 4/62 stamp. HAGWE Bill
Long Life to the Queen, and to this Beauty,, too. ;) [nt]

What a specimen!
I love these angular shapes a lot! In this condition, this Connie is just awesome. Best, Hermano. Nicolas
Thank you Nicolas! So glad to know you like this one...
... as a matter of fact Connies are my favorite Omegas, though they are not so easy to find down here. Have a nice week end in lovely Paris, mi querido amigo! Un fuerte abrazo, Abel.
Don't let Nilo see that one, Abel . . .
. . . he's been trying to find a pristine Connie for ages!
Ah, yes - I had forgotten there was reason . . .
. . . beyond mere taste and aesthetic appreciation for the appearance of steel. It's not just a matter of preference . . .
We have had entire threads dedicated to ...
... that floating Omega symbol on the acrylic. It's one of my favourite subtle features of thes bintage Omega's. And you capture it beautifully. Lovely Connie. Warm regards Andrew
Thank you Andrew! I completely agree that this little...
... detail of the floating Omega symbol on the plex, is a so charming feature. Have a nice week end, and receive my best cordial regards! Abel
A friendship watch.
I'm wearing the one in the middle today; the others represent two of my favorite PuristS! HAGWE! Daos...
It was a nice afternoon...
...spent with two fine gentlemen. What more could a girl want? Daos
I think he had a busy weekend with his children.
I know he was sorry to miss the festivities. Hope you had a good weekend, Vlad! Daos

Nothing better
Nothing beats friendships, great friends and beautiful watches! Richard
So true!
That's what this site is about -- friendship. The watches are just the common language that brought us all together! Cheers, Daos
Nice condensation effect here
and well set background These watches are coming out greatly ! Best, Mark
Thank you, Mark!
It was a wonderful lunch. The watches were nice, but the guys who were with me really made my day! Cheers, Daos
