Thank you very much, Nicolas!
And it is surprising again and again that it is so stylish, elegant and rugged at the same time.
I think it is really a pity that they took it out of the model range. I think G.O. unfortunately somehow "burnt" the Sport model line when they overdid it with the infamous "Impact" versions.
Have a great holiday!

Workin' on . . .
. . . the chain gang; it's been years for me . . . [images of my work station originally posted on TimeOut, April 2010] . . . and even now, I find myself missing the hubbub and aggravation. Computer, coffee maker, magic 8-ball for those critical business ...
Well, my workplaces (I have two - Home and Office) ...
Are a tad messy. Let me see if I can make one place a bit more organized: Office space: A better picture of the MC: For more formal work, a Reverso 1948. For workouts (Yes, I'm exercising!!!): In full color: For work outside home, nothing beats a Speedmas...
Can you believe . . .
. . . I let this one go? ['69 Mk II] Yeah, neither can I :-( . . . ...
The sad point is that ...
I forgot about your "mistake" and let this one pass ... The most perfect Speedmaster MK II that I ever saw. Sorry about that. I firm believe that it will be "in play" again. Cheers, Nilo ...
Already has the style ingredients of the 70ies.. Well, some we loose, some we gain.. In the long run, they probably equalize up .. Don't they ??
So, all I can say.. I\'m sure, there have been others to make up for the opportunity.. Cheers & HAGWE !! hs
Here's the whole story, h. My Mk II was actually a gift . . .
. . . of sorts from a friend. It was originally acquired by his brother in Canada during its initial release in '69; by 2005, said brother had passed away, and the Mk II was in sad shape. My friend gave it to me in exchange for covering the cost of servic...
Omega's go and Omegas come
Just picked up this funky monkey from the 70's Not the jedi ...
It's a dilemma, Julian. As much as I'm drawn . . .
. . . to these period pieces (at one time, a Flightmaster 910 was at the top of my list), the drive to own even one chronograph has dissipated. I've had half a dozen and all have been disposed of, essentially for the same reason: lack of utility. They're ...
Watch at work today.....
was this one..... And Yesterday it was this one! :) HAGWE Blomman ...
You can read the full review here....
Thank you, JML! :) You can read the full review here: HAGWE Blomman
Great observation, Art! :)
Roulette, dices ..... Hm, I need to find GP cards and we can start a casino! ;) Best Blomman
The Lemania.....
Have as you know very well, a very special charm! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Yes, indeed, I truly love that piece !.. Goes soo well with different outfits.. Love their quiet, balanced charm & presence !..:))
Not quite a summer pic, but indeed very nice on the wrist ! Best, my dear friend ! hs PS: another one, where I can happily say, how nice to be your brother-in-arms !.. ...
That's a great theme Art
as we'll learn maybe a little beat of who purists are. Have a great week-end everyone! Cheers, Mark ...
Maybe it their a missing key under the watch ? :p
Well they are not really printed as they are see-through keys to let the light come through. Thus, I imagine they don't have the same problem as normal ones. A good way to avoid this usual problem Joe.
I always get confused....
When trying to use a French keyboard.... But what's on top of your keyboard - no confusion there! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Thanks a lot!
At the beginning I didn't do that really on purpose, just trying... But it went out to be nice so here it is :) Cheers Blomman, Mark
Well, from your submission, Mark, I've learned . . .
. . . that tea break is likely scheduled at 10:00 AM. :-)
Not work - but getting there
Hi Here's a quick shot of getting to work rather than the office! HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Ah, you noticed that ......
The Reverso also have rails...?! ;) Three on each side of the dial. There were some versions with only two per side... Like a railway track! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Thanks for pointing ot symmetry in shot
Hi Until you pointed that out I hadn't realised there was a certain symmetry in shot. Aren't double rails more likely to be vintage? Cheers JML
Double rails was used both ....
On the original Reverso and on the relauched Reverso in the 80's. Best Blomman
Way way way cooler than me
Hi Far too cool for me. I'm the scruffy tramp trudging half asleep to work! Cheers JML
You are always welcome in Trieste. But take your solar cream with you.
It is hot like hell, here... Best, Nicolas
If I need a choice.. I'll do it like our Northern friend:
If in doubt - take it all ! ..;)) Best, hs
Either way.. Does not work out this time, ;))
.. as I will be en route ( by plane) to the Lago Maggiore & Como.. But kind thx for letting me know, my dear friend !! Guess, it has to be another time, another location.. Best, ha
It's a joke, John. It is my fathers in law's place, where we are for holidays...
But I love to work with the computer early in the morning, here, on the terrasse... ;) Best, Nicolas
O.K. ;))
Still, what a great view to have from your office. I think you should consider moving... ;)
Working in the garden...
wearing the W-59 The Jaeger-LeCoultre will be used tonight Best Regards Livius ...
Lovely tree shots! :)
I should check the trees in our garden to see if there grow any JLC's there! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Well, let me see.. No work yet, but tic-tacs worn currently .. ;))
Just thought to share some Yesterday - Today -Tomorrow.. Rolex 1675. Yesterday - All easy going.. Blue, Yellow & Green Flower Exuberance Colorful summerly Milgauss And finally; Cool choice for tomorrow - DSA-US Love that appeal !.. Cheers & HAGWE ! hs ...
Looks like you had/have/will have .....
three wonderful days, my friend! :) Best Blomman
Love that black-green Milgauss
One of the few Rolexes that I have considered to own so far. The green rim of the glass is really cool. Have a nice weekend, Martin
Three champions. A certain weakness for the Rasta Milgauss.
If I knew where I've hidden mine... I would wear it with pleasure. Three superb summer watches, nonetheless. Best, hs. Nicolas
Yes, indeed. - The Jamaica timepiece always is a hilarious color accent, I truly love.. :))
Very nice as "counterweight" & alternative to the Yachtmaster, the 116710 BLNR i.e. the "Bruiser GMT" and then of course to the Vintages. Thx for your kind looking, my dear friend !.. Cheers ! ) hs
You have a hell of a great modern Rolex Trio, my friend.
I would well see myself adding one of these modern GMT Master Ceramic bezels, one of these days... Best, Nicolas
Thx for kind looking, Art !.. :))
Actually it\'s a lake, with our hotel on a small island in the midst of it and surrounded by mountains; one has to commute via a small boat back & forth.. - a feeling of nice quiescence , once you step on land.. We love that place for great summer refresh...
Working with pachyderms and Seiko

I must confess that.....
I prefer looking at the ladies in your shots over the elefants! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Elephant Laurel & Hardy vs Pollock
My elephant painting is more 'Pollock' than Impressionist but her friend is a comic.... ...
I wont post my desk...
As too much of a mess... bit this is clean and simple for work... Cheers Andrew ...
Very nice watch ...
We should run a side competition to determine the most messy desk. I cannot compete. Mine is "hors concours". Cheers, Nilo
On my second workplace
My primary workplace where I earn my money is quite a boring office setting, so I will spare you that. Here is the only wristshot that I have from my secondary workplace as a voluntary fire fighter. I took is during a little break when we were operating f...
I have to admit
that I try to wear my beater Fortis or the Speedmaster for training or planned occasions with my fire department. But in this case I was called into action from the office, so I had it on the wrist. (It is not that I would not trust the Sport Evo to handl...
Thank you very much, Nicolas!

Many years ago, I fielded a query . . .
. . . on the G O forum from a person asking for a comparison between the Sport Evo and Submariner. Had I been aware of your other profession, I would've referred him to you! :-)
Well, it has not been so many years
since I took on my second "job". About five to be precise. I would rather call Jocke the expert for such a comparison. You may remember his Sport Evo / Yachtmaster comparison . (Ok, the Yachtmaster is not a Sub and only water resistant to 10 bar but I thi...
Hello Art! Very interesting theme for this week, as most of us...
... spend a good part of our daily hours at the office. I find very nice to have a nice timepiece giving me a pleasure every time I need to know the time of the day. My office gives me the opportunity of wearing some more valuable timepieces I don´t usual...
