[You're re-defining 'overkill' there, ppcollector, but no-one could knock your taste in watches or your enthusiasm for the Friday thread! Good work.] This almost-forgotten piece comes up for some air today as a kind of tribute to a fellow cyber-traveller ...  

You tell us that the dial is hard to read, yet you keep posting these wonderfully legible images. Certainly a special and complex El Primero. And congratulations to Rob from me too. Zenith has a safe and well tendered virtual home on the www. I will wear ... 

great zenith u have there.

... nato in the fist !!! .... GREEN NATO ON THE WRIST !!! HAGWE EVERYBODY ... And especially to Nicolas: SANTé !!!! Filip...

I would choose the PP 5110, but this is claerly the response to going without for a day last friday, ppcollector. Withdrawal. Nice wrist shot. Andrew

HAGWE everyone! -- Richard....  

I always loved this model! Congrats, Richard. HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

HAGWE

Great watch indeed! HAGWE! -- Richard.

... now i like this more than a bottle of champagne .... Filip

I'm worrying that you may celebrate a bit too much, my friend!

With the famous silicium escapement. Best, Nicolas

Have you noticed an affectiveness in accuracy? Is there a display caseback?

Circa 3 secs per day, which is excellent. As for the display back, a pic is worth words: Best, Ping! Nicolas...  

The escapement is partially visible? The blue under the spring? Still learning here.

A curious watch, ala U.NARDIN. But a very appealing one, with its curved shapes and its interesting movement. Thanks, my friend. Nicolas

Fantastic piece, congratulations! Andreas

As I own it for 2 years and an half, now... But still massively impressed by it, truely. Thanks for your kind words. Nicolas

possibly a design classic of the future. best Graham

A Strong looking piece! The funny thing is that when I saw the first pics, it was all except love! Then I saw it in the flesh, and I literally jumped on it. It is already an important piece for UN, because it was the first time an ni house caliber was use...

. . . but still one of the nicest dress watches ever . . . cordially, Art

The black dial was the latest version of the previous 1815. Fr.Xavier

Very nice cigar shot! This Sub is a keeper, my friend. HAGWE, Nicolas

i've been wearing my 1964 Rolex oyster for a few days so thought it was time for a change. to blend in with Nico's SM300 post i thought i'd wear one of them, the one he desires most. wristshot, his wrist, my watch (pic courtesy of Amanico) HAGWE everybody...

sorry stefan i'm a bit confused. this is a NOS original bracelet for this model SM300 which is why i bought it. i've taken the thick aftermarket mesh off the other one and i've just got to decide what to put on the refurbed one when its finished. it might...

Is he your pet? They make fantastic companions! Cheers, Daos

his bite is painful so i don't play with him

this baby's smart as hell, like a dog or pufferfish. Almost like he has a soul. But, apropos to this, toadskin straps look wonderful and i wonder if they are hardy

...here's one of the frog/toad skin straps manufactured by ABP. They are not for the faint-hearted, as their features show best in the 'electric' colours (somewhere in the strapbox there is a fiery orange one and a bright red one also, but they have yet t...  

We should do a post on "show off your leather"

So most people buy watches and then look for straps, but you buy straps and then look for matching watches? I recall someone saying they would love to own a Panerai one day, but couldn't afford the straps! Nice frog. Surely there is a market for Cane Toad...  

Hello! I tried something different and bought two cordovan straps for the Minerva and the Breitling. The straps are made of genuine Horween Shell Cordovan and are the softest and best smelling straps I've ever used. The straps are handmade by Fluco, Ulric...  

And why not an Extra Cordovan in Black, for your Minerva? Congrats. Best, Nicolas

I was thinking on black cordovan for the Minerva, but the dealer were sold out on black 18 mm. I will order one when they are back in stock. Then I need a pair of cordovan shoes...

...with my old Seiko 5. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend -- it's a holiday weekend in the US, so we get Monday off too! Cheers, Daos...  

. . . cordially, Art

I really should take this sucker in for a water tightness check and to just clean up some dust that seems to have settled under the crystal on the dial side. Still, I like the strongly mechanical look of the movement, despite its simplicity and lack of ad... 

enjoy your extended weekend, we had one last week or it could have been the week before, my memory drifts. it was the last weekend in august anyway. i forgot and went to the village shop to find it was shut at lunchtime. best Graham

They are a good value IMO, as well. Cheers, Daos

I love the way you presented it! And the watch, too! Best, Nicolas

. . . of Craig's solution, and with a personal touch, too ;-) . . . cordially, Art

I love the Royal Oak. I'm hoping to make one my next purchase, I just need to narrow down which model and dial color. But it will definitely be from the standard Royal Oak collection as I prefer its more original design over what I've seen on the Offshore... 

your thoughts quite well. The only mistake I did is to wait too long until I bought my first one Oliver

a great way to present it HAGWE Cheers

Pardon my ignorance, but is there a computer program you used to make this animation? Andreas

Of course, we are going to expect this sort of 'introduction' to all your future watch posts. Nice RO too. Thanks! Andrew

pleasure for me Oliver PS: One just has to know how to do ;-)

this one today... Maybe this one tomorrow......  

An Explo II in our Friday Wear!!! It is so rare... Great choices. Best, Nicolas

. . . such a strong identity, but we rarely see it except for when Dean posts it on our VC forum . . . appreciatively, Art

so its starting to become great weather for watches on that are not on metal bracelets. Its actually been quite a while since I wore my 1972, so I'm looking forward to giving it some attention this weekend. HAGWE. Best regards, Dino

show us a bit more on the car?

. . . but this Senator Sixties will be my companion for the day . . . cordially, Art...  

And I know how it will end... Best, Nicolas

. . . the perfect G O for you! Hopefully, Art
