I wish ...
As I said, it's just a baby. An M Sport 120i. Not fast in terms of straight line acceleration, but because of the lowered M suspension, you don't have to slow down to go around corners! LOL. Lot's of fun actually - when I get to drive it.
I do, however, see a Journe tourbillon every time I look at it. Does anyone else do that?

Last Friday before Christmas..... It is a good time to remember... so vintage for me..... HAGWE Cheers...
You always take good pics of your EWC
This is a particularly good one! Wore mine last night. respo
Vintage Rolex … Mmmmm
A new toy for my wife … so I am wearing an old one. But who’s complaining? Not me! Andrew...
Wow. New toy...
...being an M-series Beamer? Someone's been a good little girl this year! Ho, ho, ho! Daos
You know what they say ...
When she's good, she's very good, but when she's bad, she's even better! Actually, I thought it would be me having the mid-life crisis, but she beat me to it and got a convertible. LOL A
Wow, Andrew, you offered a BMW M to your wife?
I wish Santa Claus is a Purist, as I would know where to PM him! Best, nicolas
I love when Santa Claus is a Purist! :)
Very nice one! Congrats to Santa Claus' wife. Best, Nicolas

Maybe only a baby ...
... but one hell of a drivers car ! I tried this convertible 120d with 177 bhp and loved it! Congrats ! Filip
Dynamics ...
Hi Filip, Pleased you had a good experience in the 120d. I think the chassis and drivetrain in the 1 Series, even the convertible, is very well sorted. I even prefer this to the 3 Series, which is my daily car. Very direct steering, and a lot of feedback....
I remember driving ...
a 116i (yes, a 1 with a 1,6 litre 115hp engine), the engine was pretty crappy. As you gave it the full throttle in 1st gear not much happened. This is one slow car .. BUT ..... once on the move (above 40-50 mph) and keeping some pace i could actually enjo...
This one was for you …
I posted this a couple of weeks ago while you were away, so you may not have seen it [click here to link ]. We did try a Cooper S, but found it a bit noisy which is wearing on longer trips; the handling was fun though. Also tried the Golf and an A3 conver...
I keep showing the plexi ...
I keep showing the plexi, because I love how it bends the light and morphs the dial from different angles. But here is the rest of the watch ... 43 years young. Andrew...
Vintage German Queen
Today's Hommage to Steve McQueen. Mr. McQueen not only wore Rolex's and Heuer's but also this post-war pilots military flyback Hanhart Chronograph from the German Airforce. HAGR8WE. best regards. claude This message has been edited by claude.f on 2009-12-...
You have a superb collection, Claude. Amazing!
I thought you were focusing in Vintage Diving watches, but you also have superb Military chronos. Impeccable taste! HAGWE, nicolas
My newest: AP Sonnerie
Not vintage, but certainly a throwback I did a video review here: ap.watchprosite.com /...
A great video and a great wrist shot
So, is this an earlier or later model than the Dynamograph? Is it the same movement as the Dynamograph? I must say I prefer the simplicity of the dial on your watch even though it lacks the power reserve and optimum torque information on the Dynamograph's...
This was the first Sonnerie wristwatch they made
I prefer the dial and simplicity of this one as well. Thanks!
Wow, Steve, what did you do to Santa Claus???
Tell me all, as I will be a very good boy, next year! )) HAGWE, Nicolas
Absolutely great to meet you...
...and the future Mrs. SteveH, too! How can you NOT like a girl sporting a PSM Serpent Calendar?! Hope to see you both soon! Happy holidays! Cheers, Daos
PP, 1938 exactly i believe. i used to have all 3 models in a past life
the Longines, the Lemania and the Eterna, all issued to Czech pilots working with the RAF. the Longines is actually the most common even theough the most collectable. a lovely piece. i see these posts and instantly regret selling them, but then i have to ...
I am waiting to see what Nicolas is wearing in the Paris snow?
Mean while I am wearing my Régulateur. HAGWE Everyone! -- Richard. P.S. Easy with the shoveling Nicolas...Stay warm!...
This watch looks huge on your wrist!
Is it a matter of photography or a really jumbo sized watch? Best regards, anaesdoc
A little of each: Watch is Ø 43,1 mm and it is a close-up!
It is a great watch, manual wind, and is very comfortable o nthe wrist. Cheers, -- Richard.
Thanks Nicolas its always a pleasure
to join in here with you all i will try and join in more often
On my way to...
....the opening of the Grönefeld Boutique with my Sarpaneva K1 on the wrist. It's gonna be an exiting day, seeing so many watches from independents in one place together....
Wow, PP, a Majetek?
You will have to show it to me next time we meet! GREAT! A new addition? HAGWE, Nicolas
Do you like it?
A christmas present for me...... I think that it is quite funny as last night I noticed the book post and there is a photo of it...... Fate I guess......
Yes, indeed.
Very nice present, my friend. Didn't know you also loved these " Old Ladies ".... Best, Nicolas
Yep, True,
But loving these old ladies is one thing, deciding to add them in a collection is another thing.... You took the good decision! Best, Nico
Funny, PP, because as a coincidence, ....
I also decided to wear a Vintage Military watch, today, and i think you will remember this one... HAGWE, Nicolas...
I do my friend.....
As I also have a wristshot of your new excellent addition.... (Although not as nice of a background as yours...lol) Cheers
Your wish my friend....
is my command... Cheers This message has been edited by PinkPanther on 2009-12-18 11:01:30...
Very cool piece Nicolas!
You always make vintage look perfectly modern! HAGWE! -- Richard.
And the stunning thing is that this one is from 1944!
What a lovely Baby. i quite ended the review on this one. Thanks for your nice words, my friend; HAGWE, Nicolas
Looks vintage...
...but isn't! Happy Friday to all! It's going to be a good day -- I can feel it! Cheers, Daos...
Not really vintage for me but ...
DeepSea vintage + Compressor=Navy Seal Alarm ;-) HAGWE...
There was some stiff competition from Steve and Monochrome this week . . .
. . . but I've gotta hand it to you, Patrice - that's a great wrist shot, with a subtle tie-in between the tip of the seconds hand and the pattern of your shirt. Masthead photo until after the holidays . . . cordially, Art
My pocket submarine
and another Comex Submarine from the same period: Total Sub , the Jeep of the deep sea......
Or a U.F.O.
Great juxtaposition of images. So much to love about this watch, but the plexi is one of my favourite things. Congratulations again. Andrew
Tonight...
Candlelight, a bottle off red vine and the sensual voice of Julie London, everything is ready for a romantic evening… … and I will be wearing the Minerva....
Really "everything ready"?
Hi deBalzac, your Minerva is a classic beauty, no doubt about that. And I guess your red wine, music and candlelight will also be exquisite, but what really makes it special -IMHO- is at least another person to share it with! Have a nice evening! Best reg...
Somewhere between vintage and modern
Today I got this one out. I got it almost 20 years ago on a flea market for very small money and have been wearing it throughout all my time at University. It's soft chrome plated brass case took a heavy beating during these years and later, by a funny co...
Accepted.
You are right: there is strong 70´s feeling to this PP design! Best, anaesdoc
Wow, of course, it counts!
Stunning 5712! wear it in the best of Health, my friend. HAGWE, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2009-12-18 14:19:03
