Thank you dear friend KM for your kind comments. Appreciate your too kind compliments on watches and shots. My City was so safe some few decades ago. But things have ...
... been getting worst and worst year after year. Snatchers seem to identify an Oyster bracelet (bee it steel or gold) from a long distance. Rolex watches are the most coveted trophies for these guys.
But lately other brands like Panerai have been a target of these skilled robbers. Anyway I sometimes wear one of these watches at my office... or at home.
The white dialed RO is a favorite of mine. Much less seen than the dark dialed brother thought the later is more popular among AP followers I feel.
Thank you again! Abel

WS November Edition “Favorite Winter Watches” is Open Now!
Hello dear friends! Winter is arriving to our members living in the Northern Hemisphere and I wonder if our friends have a special fondness for wearing certain watches in this cold Season. Here in the South where I live our Winters are mild but I speciall...
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in, to play..
Friends & Team, 😉 Well, full Winter still is not here but Temps are falling and trees mostly have already changed/lost colors.. - So it‘s also some pics from before and some newer ones. Thus I‘ll mix them up a bit.. All Funky (70ies) Memovoxes here: Up/1:...

... rotation so many wonderful timepieces on your wrist. And you share them is some great pictures as well. The first picture of your JLC family is really stunning and I´m specially fond of that shot of your E872 on a tasty chocolate bar and your superb e...
My dear friend Abel !.. Thx so much for your as always so kind words !
I“m happy you apparently liked the selection and you so much as I do, there is always that bit of personal pref in showing but even more, in wearing a given piece on a certain day !.. it‘s with some natural pride, that we both consider us - despite all di...
Hello my dear friend HS! Thanks a lot for your coments. Agree with your feelings and thoughts. I really liked your selection of course. How not to love those great watches ...
... in your collection and sharing the ownership of many of them as we have discovered along previous posts. Thank you for your kind good wishes and I send you same mine in return. Best cordial regards, Abel
That 3072…
On the stingray is such a signature piece for you - always a pleasure to see (not that the others are not great, too) 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Wow!! That is what I call a fascinating collection!!
Love especially the JLC E 872, the JLC Geomatic in RG and especially your last shot of the JLC E 855, which is simply beautiful. All the best Thomas
Wow! What a beautiful piece you share here enjoythemusic! Superb!! Which is the vintage age of this awesome piece? May be the 1930s or 40s?
Thank you for starting the thread with this unique piece. Hagwe, Abel
Was a piece i had about a decade or two ago. This morning happen to be looking at backup files from years ago and this caught my eye.
Rose gold / multi-gold color case with intricate matching 'flip' top cover. Came with pin buckle from factory, yet mine needed the Patek Philippe Deployant (worn 'backwards') as the head is quite hefty and my thin wrist/shape benefitted from the Deployant...
Thank you so much for your answer enjoythemusic. I hope you still own this so unique piece and keep enjoying it so much. Regardless it size it has an strong presence on the wrist...
... I feel. The multicolor case and flip cover system makes it so special. Best cordial regards, Abel
What a lovely piece 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
And love the closed till you need it approach - very wintry ❄️👌🏻
Booaaah!
That’s a Patek I really like!! Love the very special appearance and the very romantic dial. Beautiful!!!! 🙏
Here a few of my Favorite Winter watches…
My Yellow Submariner Ref 16808 from 1987. Its original blue dial turning purple under Sun light. My ref 1803 DD from 1969: Omega 145.022 1969 Tribute to Astronauts frim 1969, Breguet La Tradition and FP Journe Octa Reserve de Marche AP Royal Oak 15202st J...
I will add my too shiny Sky Dweller steel case…
… which I don’t dare to wear with a short sleeved garment. It’s faceted bezel and bracelet center links are so shiny under day light that it telegraphs so loudly that I’m wearing a Rolex ! ...
That‘s really a shiny & somewhat splashy watch !!
I specifically like the intriguing way of displaying the calendar ! 👍 Best, 😊
Yes dear HS, The Sky Dweller is a very shiny watch. Guess it is the only critique I can do it though may be I would have thanked Rolex if it had made it in a smaller 40 mm case.
Anyway I appreciate it so much having the most complex movement Rolex makes today and offering an unique system to set time and calendar as well as complications of Annual Calendar (intriguing indeed) and GMT indication. Thank you for your kind comments. ...
Wow, What a splash to present your treasures !!
As you know, I truly love several of your great line-up; the 16808 is an amazing watch - I love its intense colors; yet I almost equally appreciate your following goodies not much less !! - Your Threesome of Omega 145.022 1969 Tribute to Astronauts /1969,...
Thank you again for your always so kind viewing and commenting dear friend HS. I share with you the deep love for the La Tradition Breguet. I also feel it exudes Breguet DNA.
Glad you like my other pieces in my selection. I reserve them for the Winter Season because I don´t usually dare to wear them in hot weather and with short sleeves garments as our part of the world is rather dangerous for those who enjoy freely wearing hi...
Wonderful pieces 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
And it’s a shame that you cannot wear them all year around (but fully understand the situation). The white dialed RO is such a nice reference and your shots as always are superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Ha ha ha!! I missed posting several more of my Winter Watches
Just because I didn’t wish to bore our friends here with so many watches dear Timeout! But here it is my CdeV which is in my wrist during since last Monday: Hagwe my friend!! ...
Every watch a stunner, dear Abel!
You obviously appreciate the warmth of colored gold from time to time. I find your Day Date particularly beautiful. 36 mm? Cheers Thomas
Hello Thomas! Thanks a lot for your kind comments. I like these watches more for their aesthetics than for its practical use, they are collectors pieces to me. I like to wear them...
... in a not visible way not only for the safety reasons I explained but also because I prefer to keep a low profile style in my daily life. Anyway I enjoy wearing them from time to time and indeed they add a touch of warmth when I view them on my wrist. ...
Dear Abel, time flies!
Not that long ago, we were just talking about summer watches and now we are nearing winter again. To qualify as "winter watch", I will put them thru some low temperature testing and hope they survive 😂⛄️ And you have shown your fav that will melt thru sno...
What a great slection of Winter Watches you share here dear friend S F!! And you really put them to a test! Lol! Beautiful pictures and Winter settings you have chosen to show them here.
Not easy to choose just one shot or watch among these you posted as they are all awesome pictures but if pressed to do it I would go for your 1675 against mountains. Fantastic! Thank you so much for your kind comments on my own selection! Hagwe, Abel
I am biased (towards the watch) 🤷🏻♂️
But that first shot of the Freak in the snow is absolutely epic. As are the rest but the combination of the model and the picture really does it for me 🙌🏻👌🏻❄️👏🏻
Hehe.. the Freak holds up quite well …
under unusually cold temp and it is in my rotation for cold weather trips😉.
I didn't know that the UN was also designed for winter temperatures?
In any case, it is a spectacular watch and definitely on my wish list. Cheers Thomas
My winter watches
Good afternoon, dear Abel. Let me start with vintage, as vintage fits always with winter time: White gold and winter shirt: A military watch with winter clothing and boots: I just noticed: must have been quite a frequent watch rotation that winter, as I a...
Hello dear Count for your fantastic entry. Great pictures and watches... so beautiful watches that I hadn´t noticed about your shirt! Lol! My eyes were centered on the watches.
The Futurematic is a watch I love so much. Regret to say I never found one here in my hunting grounds. A very unique timepice from JLC it is. The La Tradition is a watch I love so much. It had been haunting me for years till I finally captured mine a coup...
I'm in the same club:)
With a bit of detail on how complicated things get! Cheers JML ...
I know we both are club members. 😉
Nice shot! Here are pictures from real photographs of the movement in my watch: And another shot of it! 🤭 ...
We could always introduce a winter shirt subsection 😁
Great shots - especially like the Tradition one 👌🏻
I thought you own this shirt several times. 😎
Beautifully captured watches! Cheers Thomas
Not this shirt, but I do buy spare pieces of clothing, at times.
I am sure, you will also do. 😉 Glad you liked the pictures, dear Thomas.
Perfect combination - you will definitely not get lost in the snow ❄️😁
What a cool pairing 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks for hosting this WS dear Abel
Currently in rotation some strap watches as i pref to wear a rubber or bracelet watch for the summer. Just picked up these for the next month Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗 ...
Hello Watchonthewrists! My big pleasure to host this weekend. Thank you so much for your great entry. Four superb watches to make company on your wrist during...
... the cold Season. The La Tradition by Breguet seems to be a very popular watch in our community and it has good reasons to be so. A very beautiful watch full of Breguet DNA and inspired in a real pocket watch made by the Master himself in the early 180...
Thanks dear Abel , yes the Breguet Tradition is a amazing and beautiful watch
Getting more and more recognition it deserves. Lots of talented watchmakers told me this watch is one of their inspiration for there projects.
Love your Breguet Traditional and of course your Moser.
Wonderful wrist shots, dear Wotw!
While winter is not yet here…
Fortunately shots from previous years are. I do miss having snow in October, though 🤷🏻♂️❄️ ...
Will do my best…
But no snow as of yet this season 🤷🏻♂️ Although… at least I have experienced some already some weeks back: ...
Of course 😁
Having worked in the industry that’s a definite - they came on two days after the trip but as it was still September and there was no prior indication that snow was a possibility I wanted to make the most of the summer ones.
Glad you like them 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Find winter to be one of my favorite seasons - especially those with plenty of snow ❄️
That’s what HD are made for dear KM!! They always…
… come to our help. You share some great choices and shots to answer the theme call. The GS high beat dial matches the snow color and texture of a sky slope! Fantastic dial as usual with GS! Hagwe! Abel
