I will wear almost the same watch, my friend, but in a different version, tomorrow... HAGWE! Nicolas...  

you should reconsider my friend.... and wear the Paris edition..... No. 7 should do likewise..... Cheers ps re-reading this it does sound like Spektre... lol

On this one, it is Nr 24...Like the 24 Hours Le Mans Race... Best, Nr 8, and 2! Nicolas

that No 7 should wear his too.... cheers

But today ... Lange 1. I was on my wrist my 1-7-8 last Saturday HAGWE Patrice...

Community watch? Great to see that you love it! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-05-14 12:37:59

could start a roll call my friend.... cheers

Other threads before... Best, Nicolas

we do not see this one often here.... cheers

I would be proud to wear that JLC any day!!!!

Reverse, obverse, inverse, converse, opposite, polar, antipode, contrary, diametric, back, counter, flipside, contrariant, backside, rear or, perhaps, just the other side! Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grand Date, Ref. 300.84.20 (Cal. 875), 28800vph, 25 jewels...  

Gorgeous rear view, Andrew! HAGWE! Daos

The Grande Date is really a watch of extraordinary beauty (both sides). It is one of the hot candidates for my first new JLC. Best, Martin

... just for you, Martin. Hope you get a Reverso one day. Andrew...  

The front, far, light, dial, outer, presentation side of the Grande Date is at least as tempting as the back, near, dark, movement, hidden one. Thank you, Andrew, for the pictures! Best, Martin

Thanks Stefan, As you can see from the date, I wound this last Sunday in preparation for the week. It has been a while since I wore the GD and I had forgotten what a pleasure it is to wear a long power reserve watch. The RdM is icing on the cake as it acc...

Nice photo Flip. HAGWE, -- Richard.

Love the strap! HAGWE Blomman

and great watch. Best Andreas

Take good care of "our" watch! Fun picture this week! Cheers, Daos

...  

A very simple, or should I say pedestrian, watch, but I love the 70s look and the pseudo compressor case: Don't know why but looks better on a 70's style B/W. Cheers to all, Nilo...  

Not sure it is not a Compressor Case... Can you provide us more pics of this Tissot? Very nice picture, by the way! Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, I use the term "pseudo" because there is, I believe but I will double check, no "helmet" on the case back. As far I know, the "compressor" case derives from a patent made by Ervin Piquerez, that was licensed to some companies (JLC, Longines, Enic... 

Question? Is it the same crowns on that one as the Polaris and the LLD? HAGWE Blomman

it has IMO the right to sit in amongst any collection of supercompressors. probably more right than my UG Polerouter which is a single crown supercompressor with all the correct Brevet numbers for EPSA. great pic as well BTW. best Graham

Blomman, The Tissot uses regular Tissot ("T") crowns, as you can try to see on this pic: Cheers, Nilo...  

Beautiful back-side on your Tissot! Best Blomman

It has been used by so many brands ( around 20 different brands ) that I don't swee why Tissot didn't use it... It really looks like a Super Compressor case. Would be interested to see the inside part of the case back... Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, You were 110% correct, one more time. Stopped by my watchmaker and had the Tissot open: Now I have a true compressor case. Is not a Polaris but ... it's cool and I'm looking this watch with another eyes. Notice that the case back is "bayonet styl...  

Nilo, i dont think that little 'diver' symbol on the inside represents EPSA. i've seen a number of watches including standard Omega seamasters with that symbol. i think it just symbolises a water resistant watch. to find tissot production dates google Tis... 

Just a guy who try to find his way... Best, and congrats on your Super Compressor Case!!! Nicolas

... here is a pic of inside caseback of my Fortis, you can clearly see the "Super Compressor" logo and words and also other words like "Brevet..." . as Graham said, the small logo appeared on the inside caseback of your watch can be found in my many Omega...  

Nilo, it may not be an EPSA super compressor, but it is still the same in essence. a double crown dive watch with internal rotating bezel. lovely watch whoever made the case. best Graham

recently, i got one Fortis Marinemaster which also has two crowns, the caseback of mine looks very similar as yours that also has a big something like marine logo. i don't have tool to open the caseback, but according to the photos provided by the seller,...

Hi please post scans of the back and inside caseback... It looks like a real Super Compressor case. Good Hunting Bill Sohne

Too late for the roll-call but just in time for mid-night and a first wrist shot. Have a great weekend everyone. This message has been edited by Nomer on 2010-05-13 16:51:35...  

Please do so! Can't agree more with your choice. Best, Nicolas

Hi Arthur, Nice to see your new Pam. As another non-Pam fan, I seem to find myself looking at Panerai's every few months and trying some on. Perhaps I am late to the 'party', but there is still something that draws me to these watches. Unlike you, however... 

well for me, there isn;t a right PAM as frankly, they all look rather the same for me. How did I end up with the 326? Well, I don't bother with the movement for PAMs because there isn't much to bother about for "Pam" movements. SO its down aesthetics...no... 

Giving this one a run today. HAGWE Regards, Richard....

One of my first mechanical watches....a Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Calendrier Retrograde and I love to wear it! Y'all have a great weekend, you hear?...  

i was wearing my jour et nuit during the week which is a bit of a coincidence. best Graham

Could it be this one - the Opus hasn't been out for awhile ... No. Um, Oris? Sinn? Rolex? IWC, UN, Seiko? Stowa, how about the Stowa. No, just wore it a few days ago. Purists ABR? Swatch? Breitling? MIH? Sheesh. Too many choices. I think I'll stick with o...  

Great-looking Omega! HAGWE! Cheers, Daos

To join the Friday WS? All these great looking vintage divers are killing me! HAGWE Blomman

... sweet torture for the weekend. But what better than to see real life watches on real live wrists. Certainly focuses the mind on what is desirable. A

The problem is to stay focused – so many awesome watches around! My mind is racing in many different directions after seeing a Friday WS-show! Best Blomman

Please post some more photos of this one on the Omega forum when you have some time. Regards, Richard.

Nicolas, Graham, Blomann & Richard. Yes I will post more at a a later stage in the Omega forum. Hagw
