Content qu'il plaise aux connaisseurs. A bientôt j'espère. Eric

Si tu passes par Paris... Avec tres grand plaisir! A bientot. Nicolas

... hehe, but you started this week's Friday wrist scan thread with an absolutely stunning beauty, a worthy leader of the thread! Regards, Marcus

Us, French, never do things like others... Best, Nicolas

. . . with an uncommon masterpiece. Thank you, rebec . . . cordially, Art

. . . my latest vintage . . . . . . cordially, Art...  

Love the shape on that one! Best Blomman

. . . are most pleasing, and when combined with a shaped movement, makes for a very compelling design. I'm still hoping to acquire a cal 42 Karree to complete my G O collection . . . cordially, Art

Don’t know if you read this post, one of my first here; Reverso Gran’ Sport Duo Best Blomman

Hi Art, Looks great on your wrist; a long wait coming back from the watchmaker. It was exciting to be there when you found this at the "Vintage Omega Shop". You should post a more detailed thread on the Omega Forum. I think I have a couple more photos to ... 

. . . a few photos in the garden for the Omega forum, Andrew . . .

Lovely - now all you need is a suit and tie and an occasion to wear them! Ginger

. . . gotta have a suit to match the watch!!

It is perfrct on your wrist, my friend. A catch of great class. Best, Nicolas

. . . but this is the first significantly older model, 1940, or thereabouts . . .

Nice watch my friend !!! Big Congrats on u new collections :o) Best Chung

. . . the experience so far this week. There's another late '40s vintage Omega equipped with the successor movement (a cal 302 vs the R17.8 in this watch) that I'm hoping to add to my collection someday . . . cordially, Art

. . . grazi!

No message body

Has that Art Moderne aesthetic. Congrats on your new acquisition!

....looking forward to seeing it on the Omega forum Cheers Hans

. . . I hope to get off a few quality snaps this evening, and will be posting on the Omega forum. It might need to be returned to the watchmaker for regulation as it's running a tad slow. LIke -1 minute per day :-( . . .

Indeed a timeless watch! Best Blomman

And what can be more square then the Squadra?! HAGWE Blomman...  

. . . a Reverso collector, blomman, had it not been for the Karrees. Golden ratio rectangular forms with complementary shaped manufacture movements are the watches that make my heart beat a little faster. This version, with rose gold case and a black dial... 

I think we are chewing on the same bone..! But when you have found your cal 42 Karree, maybe it’s time to dive into the Reverso abyss?! Don’t know if you read this post, also one of my first here; The reversible beauty of the Reverso sizes... Best Blomman... 

. . . once the G O collection is complete, there's room for one more modern piece in my collection, and it will be a tool / sports / utility watch. Leaning towards a modern Omega, possibly a Grand Seiko.

HAGWE, -- Richard.

Thank you, Richard. If the mood is right, you can’t go wrong with this one! Best Blomman

Something tells me tha the round mood will soon be back! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Indeed, the round will soon be back! You now me, my mood is “ revesable ”! Best, my friend. Blomman

...sorry to have started the friday extravaganza a little too early ! Lets see those wrists please... Cheers Eric

. . . and thanks for getting us off to a great start with such a significant watch. Cordially, Art

One of my favourite Vintage, all brands included. Deep Sea Alarm Lecoultre, US version ( sorry for the redundance ) : HAGWE, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-09-30 22:33:16...  

and so is your sweater ;-) Best, my friend...HAGWE! -- Richard.

have a nice, well probably somehow wet fall WE, Matt

teasing us...LOL

There is no tease, here... Best, my friend. Nicolas.

can be shown anytime

. . . two watch collection! Both rugged, both uncommon, both well balanced - neither austere nor flashy. Vintage has special charms, eh, Consiglieri? . . .

I like everything about it. I'm shopping aound for a sixties/seventies divers watch lately, just been loving the look's of em these days. Another fantastic wristshot Nicolas ! Drew

The watch is nicer than the wrist... Seriously, these Diving watches are just timeless. I'm sure you will find the one which will give you a maximum of pleasure. Looking forward to your next WS, Best, Nicolas

Looking forward to see it in the metal! Best, my friend. Blomman

Marcus...  

. . . my Karree Panodate, the most aesthetically appealing watch in my collection. The proportions of this Bucherer match your wrist well, Marcus . . .

Interesting bezel on that one. Would you mind sharing some colour photos when you have the time? Best Blomman

g HANWE...  

It is difficlut to avoid adding a Dayto in a collection, eeeh? Best, Nicolas

it's been with me for 3 year now, still looks new ....

A vintage German watch awaited me in my mail box as I returned this evening from a short business trip to Berlin and a wonderful Purist encounter! A pristine mid 50s Hanhart single barrel alarm watch (alarm is set by the bezel). I'm a bit sleepy, so just ...  

you got there. A nice memorization, isn´t it? "a wonderful Purist encounter" Just so true Oliver

. . . do they secure a vibrating diaphragm that sounds the alarm? Stumped, Art

Apparently the first ones had standard dial brackets, but the movement of the lunette in setting the alarm (I spoke inexactly when I said the alarm was set by the bezel) sometimes caused the dial to slip. This according to Horlbeck's treatise, the Alarm W... 

You have a wonderful Alarm collection, congrats! Once I am able to break free from the JLC spell, I will have to follow your footsteps… Just love these noisy old ladies! Best Blomman

... wearing a JLC Reverso Memory (Ref. 255.540.833)....  

Love the funky sleeves she has on also Drew

Thanks Drew, I guess it's like a nice tailored shirt with French cuffs and cuff-links for us. It shows of a wristwatch to full effect. The designer is Alannah Hill. Nice whimsical and romantic pieces. Andrew

It hasn't left her wrist in five years and is therefore building its' own history. Much more than any of my casually worn pieces. I envy her sometimes. Thanks for your nice words. Andrew

and shared moments and pleasures, HAGWE, Matt

beautiful shots, Andrew. stefan

Hi Stefan, Thanks for your comment. The size is perfect and the bracelet adds to the presence of the watch. Andrew

. . . the golden ratio rectangular shape, which is even more complimentary on smaller wrists . . .

beautiful Andrew

Have a great taste, looks beautiful on her wrist! Best Blomman

HAGWE, -- RWK.

HAGWE everyone! -- Richard....  

It is just too big for me and I don't have any need for it - but every few months when some young fellow needs the money and sells his on one of the watch sites, I open up the message, take a long look and have to resist temptation. Ginger

Fly boys around the last few weeks! Looking great, Richard, maybe it’s time for me to start look in to that area...? My problem is that I already know which one I like; JLC Mark XI… Best Blomman

Best, -- Richard.

. . . and this one is a really tough tool watch with a specially hardened case, if not mistaken. I recall their introduction about five years ago (?), but have never seen one in the metal . . . cordially, Art

Changing all the "k's" to "c's" is silly, as is his concept that American English should be different from British. The Umläut adds a nice finishing touch ;-) Your next mission: Teach them it is a queue; and not a line! Indeed the Damasko has many in... 

But my apologies, not today's weather or photo.... HAGWE Regards, Richard....  

HAGWE, -- Richard.

At least not in the course of a photo shoot. Regards, Richard.

... "no watches were scratched or otherwise harmed during the photoshoot" Marcus

No message body

It won't happen again. Regards, Richard.

Yes..... But, a beautiful one of a nearly perfect watch..... HAGWE Cheers

But Summer is fast approaching down here, so hopefully more sunshine pictures to come in the weeks ahead. Regards, Richard.

No apologies needed! HAGWE Blomman

. . . set against blue water, Richard; the match against blue sky is also compelling . . .
