In fairness...
...to Kari, but for one or two of the inevitable communication disconnects that occur over great distance and time the gestation period would have been much less. That's fine: the great wheel of Karma accommodates such circumstances by illuminating other meandering paths in the meantime.
From memory, Art, this is a path you guessed some while back: it's nonetheless a great pleasure to have reached its end!
Philosophically,
Cheers,

Beautiful JLC...
Digital doesn't work for me though - somehow having hands/pointers gives time telling a better feel. Mine for today...and has been for the week and will be for the weekend too. Photos taken with phone cam, so forgive the quality. HAGWE, Richard...
Beautiful Glashutte too
One of the best-looking models from Glashutte in my opinion.. Regards Mark
Creative!
You got me there ;-) Now all you need is to have it make little ticking noises
Your GO got me
As a PML owner for almost 3 years and loving it...I have to say Wow! Your watch struck me. Don't worry about a better pic with a better camera. It's beautiful!
Grande Seconde
I've been wearing this one all week long: Have a good weekend! Regards Mark...
Great pics of a great watch
Always liked this one and seem to like it more every time I see it...
CARTIER FAN
Hi Geo You're a true blue Cartier man indeed! Just got back from Bangkok ,the armoured vehicles and carnage on the streets remind me of this watch which I will wear today:...
Beautiful! And such a classic
especially in platinum, the LC Tank is such an icon. Geo
Wow, that is rare. Never seen one.. salvador Dali eat your heart out!!
Supposedly based on his painting- the persistance of time Julian
Salvador Dali
Not quite Juilan Its actually a crushed version of the baignoire elongee watch. Perhaps Geo our CARTIER man can give you a better insight into the origins of this one.
I'm learning a lot about Cartier from you :-)
this looks great What's it called? Cheers, CL
Really liking the Longines !!
Hi p@trice This watch keep "popping" up in conversations..... i think its great !! Good Hunting Bill Sohne

I've been wearing this since I got it, that is last Saturday. HAGW Aris...
still wearing my new vintage aquisition, but with new strap
i got this last saturday after a lengthy hunt through the piles of dross for the correct model, a 1964 Omega seamaster 300 165.024-64. i've put a new strap on it, a Hirsch Liberty in honey to match the lume whilst the accented stitching matches the bezel ...
Great piece Aris...
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery of your smile muscles! Cheers, pplater.

Ok ... Just got the bracelet on.... with the use of an extender..
Hello Everyone... This is on my wrist AGAIN today... my vintage 666 IWC... But this time i was able to get a bracelet extender so it can fit my 8 inch wrist... here is the extender in action... Now i am thinking ... is it better on the original bracelet o...
nice vintage IWC
...leather gives it that touch of class IMO, but a great watch whichever way i look at it
Delighted you should ask...
It took 1 year, 9 months, 14 days, 15 hours and 53 minutes - - but it was worth every second of the wait! Hope your weekend is anywhere near as enjoyable as this one is shaping up to be. Cheers, pplater....
Congratulations
I’m pleased it was worth every second, because I know it was a long wait. It looks great though. Best lugs in the (modern) watch world IMO. Nice photo too. Very pleased to finally see it. Enjoy, and have a great weekend. Andrew
Thanks, Andrew...
...for sharing the enthusiasm all this while. Life's good! Cheers, pplater.
Awwwww.......
This is what I'm waiting for this morning Bravo Bravo Simply Beautiful !!! *CL
There's a good chance, CL ...
...that it wouldn't have happened without the support of the Independents that you and others like you (Bernard, Rob, Thomas and others) have advocated and provided. Thanks for that - look forward to seeing the CL version soon! Cheers, pplater.
;-) . . .
. . . congratulations on the new addition, as well as enduring the drain on your reserves of patience during gestation . . . cordially, Art

What else?
I know I have posted enough on this one for the week, but it is Friday after all. Have a good weekend all. respo...
A much awaited return...
I will post more pics and a follow-up soon in it's pertinent forum. Have a great weekend, Alex...
OOOOF, Alex
What a Beauty, my friend. Back in a stunning xondition. Can't wait for detailed pics and comments on the appropriate forum. Best, Nicolas
Thank you, Nico!
I'm very glad you liked it. What do you think about the bracelet? A less common look for the watch, but I think it still captures the essence of the era and of the watch. Will post this weekend, once I have a little more time. Have a great weekend! Abrazo...
Less common, YES, but also conform to the original
As you know it, the Pola came with a SS bracelet, and a Tropic strap. We don't often see the SS bracelet for a Pola, indeed, but yes, I love this combo. Hope to be able to sse it ( and you ) in the flesh during you European Tour..LOL Best, Nicolas
Indeed, Nico!
It will for sure be on my wrist on it's "back to origins" tour. I will PM you the details of my visit to set something up. Have a great Saturday, Nico. Abrazo, Alex
A diver that can dive!...
The bracelet on that beauty makes perfect sense, and rounds it off very nicely. An exquisite original piece. Cheers, pplater.
Thanks, pplater!
Grandpa sends his regards to his grandson down under. Thanks for your nice comments... BTW, I am still drooling after your much awaited Voutilainen.....Simply Beautiful! Not only it proves that you are a patient man, but also one with great taste. Congrat...

I've been wearing either my Nautilus 5711 or my JLC Ultra Thin 38 all week. The weekend is here so it's Lange time: I should mention that there is NEVER a wrong time for a Lange!...
Very nice , thanks.
Looks great on your wrist. I am beginning to prefer the RG to WG.
Yes, the RG gives more color to the dial than otherwise pale
dial of WG version...and as a bonus, it was cheaper too!
