I think I can see you smiling...
...in the reflection off the lug. ;-)
I am so delighted that you have joined the club. I know how long you hunted this one and how much you wanted it. Now we have to arrange a mini-GTG to reunite our brothers from the Paris Boutique.
Enjoy it, Joe!

7th of February Friday Scan: Your friendly watch.
This Friday, the theme is open: Your favourite Friendly Watch, which means your trustful companion, the one you bring with you everywhere, which gives you pleasure, which is useful, well, you got the idea. For me, this Friday, it will not be the most expe...
Hi Nicolas. This is not an old friend but a very good
friend and a great travel companion. It also seems to get a great deal of attention from the ladies! Thank you for a friendly Friday Scan and I hope it brings many smiles. Best to you all, Tim Relaxing in a Swiss beer garden. ...
It's the details I love ...
It might be a simple 3-hand watch with date, but the attention to the details of case design, lugs, colour accents, hands and dial mean that you could stare at this for hours. Beautiful. Enjoy! Andrew
Tank you gentlemen. I have been hypnotized by
its charms many times and catch new angles of excitement when the light is right. Really enjoyed the thread this week, Best, Tim
My go-to friend
It joined me under the happiest of circumstances and reminds me of a time with much less responsibility; a watch I wear to the office just as much while trekking through the forest in the countryside. As Nicolas said, not the most expensive nor the most c...
The Speedy Pro is ...
... the watch for all occasions. Office, home, space exploration and walks in the forrest. I still marvel at the design, comfort and functionality when I have mine on. It is also one of a handful of watches that should be part of everyone's collection, at...
Thank you for your words Andrew
I agree the Speedy Pro is one of those watches that everyone should experience at one point or another. It carries with it a sense of purity and comfort, and has an instantly recognizable look. Thank you for the kind words, and have a great weekend! Colto...
A new friend every week but never a favorite.
You can\'t chose a favorite would not be fair. Bill ...
Sicura four crowns are better than two
Basically the two crowns at 8 and 10 control the inner rings independently. The crown at 2 with the red ring resets the minute hand to 12 and the timing starts. It measure the time continuously in minutes. Crown at 4 set and winds the watch. Bill
Thank you for the explanation, Bill!
Hm, sounds a bit too complicated for me... I better stick to two or three crown watches...! ;) Best Blomman
Well, after three years I landed this one today
Thanks to Champthekid, he sold me my long sought TTP65 SS Now, if only I was heading to a nice warm Caribbean island, to get away from all the ice and snow, ths would be my only watch for the trip! . See me smiling? Best, and thanks Steve! Joe ...

In a different timezone - this is my go to watch! :) Yes, the 3072 "Grand Master Funk" - always a lot of fun when on the wrist! As you know very well, my friend! ;) Best Blomman
My current travel watch ...
Love this chronograph and the lack of date allows me to move the time back and forth. JLC Deep Sea 3 counter - On a plane, returning home. On a more poetic settings: Today I'm wearing a watch that is priceless. Just got the first maintenance of his long l...
Super shape and super ...
Cheap. I'm moving to the high (at least for me) and low (my Camy and others) watch lines. Cheers, Nilo
Great to see a JLC back on your wrist, Nilo!
And the Camy also looks great! :) Best Blomman
I'm just preparing my wrist to be ready ...
When the Swedish donations to my NGO ("The JLCless of the 3rd world") arrives. Pretty slow post office that your have? What is happening? Weather? Now serious: I miss the vibes of a JLC on my wrist. Got this one, got a dressy other and now ... just wait. ...
Your traveling friend is iconic.
I understand your choice. As for me, I'm into an old lady too, with my Speed Mark IV : familly, authenticity, a long love affair... Have a great week-end too. Cheers, Mark ...
You cannot beat a long love affair.
I just realized with Joe's post about the hard core of a collection, that on my 12 keepers selection, two were the oldest, in my collection! Best, Nicolas
True...
and it means that all the remembrances and emotions the watch are filled with, as time goes by, is of most importance. Cheers, Mark
No suprises here Nico...
This has been all over on travels, to South Africa, England, Mexico...this was last spring in the Valle de Guadalupe at a lovely spot my dear wife found. As the sun rose over the hills to the east, I was wandering in the vineyard outside our room/pod enjo...

My favorite friendly watch
Tends to be simple, classic, elegant and easy to read time. Most importantly it makes me smile alot, being my first haute horology piece, like a firstborn. Presenting my Vacheron Patrimony Traditionelle. Hope you enjoy this wrist shot. :) Cheers Robin ...
What else can I say than you are a lucky fellow, my dear friend.
Very tempting Fiat! ;) Best, Nicolas
Thank you..Thank you very much ;) .. We envy you !! .. BTW:..
..this is last but not leadt a wonderful shot, with the sun, and sea are playing for your watch ! Very nice, indeed ! Best, hs
Well, what to say : There used to be only one.. But things change..
.. well, let me answer this way : actually it used to be only one Now my " Minimum Kit" is two: 1/ this is not a rare one, neither overly expensive ( any more), nor high tech, she is just.. - a very good friend, was my first real "classy & better" one, Ha...

Wonderful pair and photos, HS!
1975 - so, one more year till the 40th anniversary! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Apart from having chipped in.. Let me pls just say this..:)
It's interesting , that despite so much heart goes into JLC, your choice - fully understandable for me.. Rolex is apparently another BIG love.. ( happens to me, on a much lesser scale, pretty much as well); :) - second notion is, that these GMT's to me st...
My usual travel mate and trustful companion...
...is my Tropical 16800 Tiffany & Co. ...
Cool watch
Modern enough to knock around without a care and wear it every day anywhere but the dial makes it so rare that it is unique to the trained eye. What a great piece. Enjoy it, Jeff. V/R Mike
Then we have a trade....easy....
.....since you will wear JUST my 6200 for 25 years, then send me ALL of your watches as you won't have time to wear ANY of them. This is a trade i could consider.
Just a tiny & humble remark to the Gentlemen.. How can you..
.. be sure you both make it through the 25 yrs ?? - If you keep on going like this , So, if you'll need a backup, ask & take your doctor ! Best wishes for a looooong, goood life ! No matter, if with just one or soo many !.. Best, hs
Three weeks ..... Same watch ..... ? .... !
Wow, my friend - the Bruser really got to you! :) You have to show me this one next time we meet.... Three week.....? ...!! Best Blomman
