Greatly impressed by this profusion of salmon/orange dials
Would there not be a bridge witn the Netherlands?
Hello dear Watchonthewrist! I die for salmon dials, specially if in contrast with a "white metal" (steel, white gold, platinum) case. You show here an stunning collection of salmons!
Not easy to choose just one of them but I´m specially touched by your Staut with those arabian indexes. I also am surprised to view your Omega which I can´t remember viewing before. Thank you so much for sharing this superb collection! Hagwe. Abel
Thanks for your kind words dear Abel .
Your right I hardly wear the Omega because my Boss confiscated that one the moment I brought it home 😉
My big pleasure dear Watchonthewrist. Always enjoy viewing your beautiful collection. I can well understand your Boss (she has a great taste by the way!) This Omega is so beautiful...
... and unique. I hadn´t seen it before this awesome model. I wish your Boss will allow you to enjoy it from time to time!! Best cordial regards, Abel.
They only made this model for one year (i have been told)
And i hope my Boss lets me wear it from time to time too 🙏🏻. But as we all say ,, happy wife is a happy life ,, 😉
You are the salmon dial master, my friend 🙌🏻
If you at some point want to explore the deliciousness of the fish beyond Norway and Scotland, let me know 😁👍🏻
Dials, especially enamel are my favs...
Enamel dials to start... Then two other inspired pieces in the collection which I love! And finally, my latest addition from Russia with love HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
Hi Tim...
Good selection of dials for our theme this weekend. Which on is your personal favourite ?
Good question Capt. however it's a bit like asking which child is one's fav;-)
In other words almost impossible to say...if pressed though, I would say the Speake-Marin Piccadilly dial with those elongated romans. Cheers, Tim
Good answer Tim ...
The Speake-Marin Piccadilly is a special piece. Have a great weekend 🥂
Hello dear Tim! I can well understand your feelings about trying to choose a favorite among so many stunning dials that you share here. I´m greatly surprised and impressed by your...
... Russian timepiece. That´s and awesome watch and dial for sure! Thank you for sharing them and receive my best cordial regards, Abel
Thank you Abel!
yes, I took a "flyer" on Aleksandr's work and jumped in. Initially it was going to be a blue dial, with polished steel hands, but the blue color he came up had too much purple in it for my taste. As I had seen the raw brass dial prior to coloring, I asked...
Your "enamels" are delicious, it is always a great pleasure to contemplate them
Thanks for sharing, Tim
Fantastic selection!
Now I am really curious about your take on Nesterenko - haven’t yet had the time to check it out live 😊🤞🏻
Hello dear Captain! Nice to have you hosting and thank you...
... for this interesting Theme which as expected is bringing charming shots and watches from our colleagues in passion for watches. If movements are the heart of our beloved watches I feel dials are the soul of them. Many times the dial is what makes me f...
Hello dear Abel ...
Dials really are the soul of our watches. The green dial Daytona is truly spectacular and for me the one that got away. That’s a story for another time ! Beautiful vintage pieces that you are sharing with us and patina is another subject that we should co...
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments. Regret to learn that you missed this watch. Some times Lady Luck gives another chance to collectors. It is really a stunning...
... timepiece. Agree with you that patina on vintage watches dials is another feature to be considered as it adds much character and beauty to the soul of an old timepiece. Hagwe dear Captain. Abel
Hello dear Nicolas! Thank you for your kind comments. The GP is a very interesting old chrono indeed. The YM... never paid much attention to this watch till I viewed a photograph taken...
... by you at the famous Vlad balcony several years ago. If memory doesn´t fail me, you were wearing it with a grey jersey. That picture made me go downtown in search for my own YM as I felt I badly needed one for my collection. It´s grained silver dial s...
Hello dear friend Yacomino. Thank you for your kind compliments which I appreciate so much. Glad you liked my selection for this week end. Regarding your question...
... I took a series of shots of this watch just a few hours after reaching home from the watch shop. So excited to record this jewel just arrived I took several shots in haste without removing the stickers. Then for some personal reasons I had to leave th...
"If movements are the heart of our beloved watches I feel dials are the soul of them
Many timess the dial is what makes me fall in love with a watch" So true and so nicely said, dear Abel
Thank you for your kind comment th.gr.ga!! Fortunately the YM is possible to get still. Though I am aware that later years of this model has dials which do not show the frosted surface...
... on the platinum dials of first years of production. Anyway the YM is a beautiful model in all variants and years including the present versions. Hagwe! Abel
You are right, I should start hunting.
The more I think of it, it may well be my favourite Rolex dial of all time. Many will likely not agree, but I am deeply partial to the frosted texture and find it a wonderful way to showcase the unique properties of platinum in a restrained manner.
Yes, its dial is really something. Mine is a rf 16622 from 2005. I read somewhere that this frosted dial was changed in later versions for a different surface which doesn´t show this "grain" as in the first...
... years. You should check this detail as I don´t really know. Rolex did a wonderful job with this timepiece but I hadn´t the opportunity of viewing in the metal the later references. Good luck with your hunt! Cheers! Abel.
Wow excellent variation of beautiful dials my friend
That green rolex and the burgundy GS 🤤👌🏻
A fantastic range Abel...
From the color of the season to some fabulous vintage chronos - not sure I have seen all of them previously 👌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear friend KM! Those old chronographs were early purchases in my collecting journey. Not expensive watches but very beautiful vintage dials they have...
... which were the detail which made me fall in love with them. It is possible I never shown them before here. Glad you liked them. Hagwe! Abel
Hello dear Abel !.. Again, as usual - a very nice line-up !.. For me the GS/GMT with the yellow 2nd hour hsnd.. Simply a great GADA watch !
And last but not least the last shots of your Speedmaster Moon, I like a lot ! Always a pleasure to browse your choices ! Best, hs.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and compliments my dear friend HS! Agree with your comments about the GS and Speedmaster moonphase. Glad you like them as these are among...
... my favorites. I also enjoy so much viewing your entries my dear friend. Have a nice Sunday! Best, Abel
Here is my take.
A blend of vintage for the soul and moderns which are special to me: ...
I would have been surprised if you did not feature the caramel 6542 of yours!
I hesitated with my Freak Out as there were more hands than dial😂 but your Freak with the blue dial has a good contrast.
Some striking dials you share here dear Nicolas!! Not easy to pick just one... well, the 6542 would fill all Dexter dreams! ;) Great shots as usual my dear friend!!
Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear Nicolas. Abrazos, Abel
