Thanks Damjan, I did change the bezel insert myself....
...it must be the Sub / Seadweller in me not wanting to completely give up the black bezel!! LOL!
But I kept the pepsi insert, just trying to find a bezel ring now, so that I can swap about easily without popping the insert each time.
cheers Tony

In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health
Dear Comrades I promised to start this weekend thread 12 CET but our dear "Mr. Nothing but Rails" kindly pointed out that we are traditionally starting 12 Singapore time It is better not to mess with those guys So without further ado This weekend let's sh...
Always wondered why . . .
. . . I'm so drawn to Railmasters. :-) Love the theme, Damjan, but have never personally shared with a loved one yet . If that day ever comes, it will probably be . . . . . . this vintage Omega tank, ca 1940. Giving it away will be reason enough to find a...
As a birthday gift I gave her ….
This LeCoultre: Galaxy from 1955. 37 diamonds, 350 USD... One of the very few models double signed LeCoultre and Vacheron Constantin. This Monday she gave me this… See link: HAGWE Blomman ...

Wonderful news!!!
Congratulations, friend. (And at such a young age, very impressive that he is synchronized!) Best, CaliforniaJed
Who gave it to whom???... :-)
Next question; what if you ding it? Will you flip it? Are you open to trades? :-) Heartfelt congrats! Cheers, pplater.
Fine taste ...
For the gift watch and the baby. Enjoy the baby. They grow up fast those days. Cheers, Nilo
THANK YOU ALL! :)
Thank you everybody for your kind wishes! :) The little guy is not even one week old and have started to ask about the Polaris... Maybe it was a mistake to introduce it to him before he was even born! I better put a lock on the watch box from now on... ;)...
This will be a challenge ...
My wife is very jealous about her watches, in special after she did the "Watchmaker for a day" at the IWC Boutique. I could not believe but she was able to dismantle completely a movement, assemble it back and it was working! My friends say that I go to h...
I have one that qualifies....
A few years ago (or perhaps a bit earlier), I was rapidly approaching my 40th birthday. I had been struggling for a long time what to try and get - something from 1972. At that time, I was a pure diving watch guy - Subs, Seadwellers, and of course my belo...
Just what I had in mind!
Great story dear Tony and great watch You've been turned to dark side completely bezel can tell :) Yours D
Thanks Damjan, I did change the bezel insert myself....

The only way to outdo a present from your child . . .
. . . is when man's best friend gets in on the action ;-) . . .
Exactly!! You can never underestimate the budget....
...that man's best friend can have, when it comes to a present to it's owner ;-) LOL! cheers Tony
Nice picture dear Damjan, very nice.....
The watch is fine but the HAND oh my, what a beautiful hand. Very sensual! Have a great weekend. Cheers Francois from Down Under
No good cards in hand Damjan.....
I am afraid my compatriot Roger lost his hand to your Marin Cilic. Congratulations to Marin:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Not only movements contain stones
Well when it comes to Ladies watches, often horological complications are less appreciated and the focus shifts to precious metals and stones. I want to contribute two entries: GP Richeville 2658 (automatic movement) given to my loved one 2 years ago And ...
Love Reverso's
Yes, there is a world outside of GP for me too :) I did gave a Reverso many years ago as well. CC
That was the question which crossed my mind...
Does CC have something else than GP watches? ;) Best, Nicolas
She's turning around my 1675 Mini Dial.
In fact, each summer, I let her play with. I think I will have to find one for her. Not necessarily mini dial, a good old 1675 will fill the bill... Best, Nicolas.
Really like that Reverso Gran Sport.. Has frequently been underrated.. Great on her wrist!
.. needless to say, that the nice glass of white wine is always welcome and goes well with watches.. Why? Well, all aren't these stimulating our senses ?! .. Wine.. Watch.. Not to forget the Lady, of course.. Best, hs :)
Very nice, great combo on the lovely lady
But I just love your photo of her in the great dress that matches the Rolex Pepsi. And the jlc rouge shot also. Heck, it appears your wife looks great in most of your watches! You better look out, you may find a few missing! Hagwe Nicolas Joe
That is the problem of having a beautiful wife, and nice watches. :)
But I can deal with that... Best, my dear Joe. Nicolas
something a bit softer...
I wear rather tough tool watches...I like mechanical watches but after offering a few to my wife I had to admit she doesn't like mechanical watches and what she really wanted was this.... so I had to buy it!... enjoy your WE Matt ...
Took three viewings before . . .
. . . it dawned on me why this image is so compelling: the laces look just like straps! And lizard, at that ;-) . . .
Almost 20 years ago...
I should have known better ;) Great just great! Sincerely yours Damjan
Not a good picture but..
It was taken at the moment of first trying on. This was my wife's and I first trip to Paris. Van cleef does a nice job for women! Unfortunately I took the earrings too! I guess it's not fair since it is quartz. But the workmanship is just fabulous. Hagwe ...
Indeed van Cleef & Arpels
produced some of most romantic & extraordinary pieces for ladies Good call dear Joe Cordially Damjan
Ok, my friend.. Here some of my humble chips.. Mostly good times, or very good ones, though.. :)
Had to think a little bit, so I selected three: 1/ An unexpected Encounter - A first Vintage for a Lady or The watch for Him and Her, conceptually.. Actually it's not the first watch present to my wife, but maybe one of those with a nice little story, con...
Very good stories - love the Amsterdam one - a watch for him and her.....
....I recently tried to convince my wife to let me buy an Explorer, that we could both wear...... The fashion today, apparently, is for women to wear watches that look as though they could be there husband / boy friends watch, according to my wife. Well, ...
Actually, IMHO.. An Explo I is a pretty cool watch !.. Of course, no real Bling..;)
.. I guess, at times, our " better halves" like to be a bit fancy and such.. Thx for your kind looking and sharing your personal experience with "For Him & Her" - .. which as we know, does not always work out... ;) Best & HAGWE again, hs
Lovely stories all of them
I always enjoyed a good read so no harm done here As for "Initially a '1/2' birthday gift.." You rascal you ;) :) Best D
Excellent chips
My wife and I love Amsterdam and of course Paris. That green strap is just perfect and lovely, as well as the tic tac! Great selection for her! Hagwe Joe
As peace offering, as bribe; a toy, or with pride
We have lots of watches that we have given one another. Of course we have a pair of Reversos. And we put them on this morning. Why? Tomorrow is our 39th wedding anniversary, so this theme is especially of interest to us. Here is the first nice watch she b...
First of all...
allow me to congratulate You both dear Mike Time flies with loved ones There is something very special in pairing his & her Reverso---it comes naturally Great post ThnX Damjan
I believe Mrs C drove two hours . . .
. . . to take delivery of your ABR. Now, that's devotion!
What an ode to love & passion.. Each choice with a little story !.. :))
.. Heartwarming, if I'm allowed to say ! - And what a diversity ! Thank you for sharing, and Best, hs
Happy Anniversary!!!!
Wow, great pics and the "Love Story" of you two to go with it!!! Cheers, Tim

One thing thou Esteemed Rolex Moderator has "dirty" family secret....they all love JLC :) Love the last shot no matter 1/10 or 10/10 Yours D

My first "serious" watch...
my wife and my daughter bought for me as a Christmas gift. After that, the watch sickness took hold. HAGWE! ...

When she was out of the house!!! She is amazing jealous about her "stable". Here are some of my wife's watches. All started with the Longines Lindbergh that she had a love on the first sign (later I learned that the movement was the last true in house mov...
No complains here :)
Lady with immaculate taste...naturally ;) Longines Lindbergh - Captains Nemo watch.... how true!!! Best D
Oh no ...
The luckiest one is the best salesman ever, from the IWC boutique. Cheers, Nilo
The Leader of the Opposition in the House...
...works on the old retail principle that "if you drop it or break it, it's yours". So, she dropped the Patek 3998J and, once it had been repaired, decided it was hers: (Ummmm, you may have spotted that the wrist in this photo is decidely not hers). This...
