There's a few special pieces in my collection, but none . . .
. . . quite as arresting as the Omega . . .
. . . from Argentina. Reference 2494 isn't all that rare as many were produced. This one, though, scores on account of being a chronometer. Most 2494 chronometers, like Tony C's, are fitted with cal 354 movements. Mine's a cal 352, and moreover, one of the earliest made according to the movement number.
It's when cognoscenti realize this is one of the ultra-rare versions cased in steel with a 14 kt pink gold bezel that jaws start dropping.

WurstScan from 21.08 - 23.08. "Recognition" is now open!
My dearest friends! I have got the immense pleasure to host this week's round of WristScan, with the theme "Recognition". The theme was in my head, because of the movie "Behind the candelabra", a movie about Liberace's life, where Michael Douglas plays hi...
Believe it or not my friend: I was thinking you will show many JLC :-)!
JLC is THE brand to show, that you are knowledgeable man of watches! Especially with special pieces ...
Aahh.. my friend.. So the new Anniversary Memovox Timer already gets fresh air !.. In addition, I like every single piece you show !..
Just two little remarks, I love your ‚cork“ - background shots ! And that Vintage LeCoultre DSA- US sometimes haunts me.. No wonder, as she has a sister ! Terrific shots, Monsieur JLC ! ( Using just one title). Best and HAGWE to you & yours, hs
Ah my friend Nicolas! A JLC on your wrist is almost a signature on you I feel. What a better sign of recognition? I see a new watch in your collection in the first shot? That elegant and cool...
... Memovox blue dial example of the new version of that classic JLC model. Big congrats my friend. Any of these classic and elegant watches on a gentleman´s wrist talks about some one who knows about fine timepieces and great taste. Stunning photographs ...
Do I spot a new Memovox there, Nico?
All spot on, as usually. The Reverso being my favorite for the theme this weekend 👌🏻👍🏻
Two entries
For deep knowledge I will enter my Langematik Sax-O-Mat that I purchased in 1998 and which is still with me. The reason is that this watch was presented to me in the end of 1997 by Mr. Lange and Mr. Blümlein during one of their events and I guess I was on...
You are a show off in any occasion with these two pieces ;-)
The Lange because of the story behind it, BUT you get away with that show off as we all are happy for you to own such a special Lange. The Casio? Coooool !!!
Would certainly love to add both to my collection at some point 🤞🏻
Always been partial to the Millenary and the JD is just cool with that dial and date 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Fantastic watch, Moritz !.. And great theme !.. Hmmhh.. So let me see what to chip in..
.. Maybe a bit of everything.. My lucky Rollie, 6542 with original bakelite lunette JLC Geophysic Universal Time, a deliberate choice for me , simply love to travel, when looking at her Was my quest & chase for quite some time, my JLC queen.. JLC Duom...
I can only give the compliment back!
I knew something with bakelite would turn up ! Great, great selection of watches from an esteemed colector of WatchProsite!
Hello my dear friend HS111!! You share some marvelous timepieces here! All stunning.I´m specially fond of your GMT 6542 and your JLC Queen. Though both of your Breguets...
... would make me a very happy man! You surely make and statement with any of these beauties on your wrist! Cheers! Abel
That Duometre 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
All great choices HS but the Duometre somehow stands out more this weekend IMHO 👍🏻
Thx for your kind looking !.. yes, the Duométre á Chronographe is really close to my heart, from the first moment I got it !
Almost a „GADA“ - watch ( Go Anywhere, Do Anything).. Well, except for the really rough tasks, of course. Have a great Sunday for you
You are right to say :"JLC, of course!"
I was anticipating many, many JLC,s to show up. A classic one!
For me it has to be this old favourite.
Whilst it often receives attention and nice comments, it flies very much under the radar for most people. Only a watch person will recognise the unique style and function and be able to identity it. ADs usually offer a compliment which is nice. Regards Ke...
Who can't notice such a beauty?
A lovely, lovely Reverso and yet another JLC ! Very nice piece! All you need ...
Great theme
I do not usually “dress up “ that way but a few years ago I went into a watch shop in Lucerne and looked at some Ulysse Nardin, wearing this. A staff member came and launched into an explanation on how they are one of the oldest and most respected watch b...
Hi Andreas, you just gave this theme the turbo punch!
A spectacular piece and even somebody without any knowledge in watches can tell that this piece is serious watchmaking. Funny, to see that how many of us do pick a special piece for a vist to the AD ... Thnak you for your top entry.
Sublime timepiece Andreas! Some watches are conversation starters... others, like this one, are to stop talking as your story shows! A good example of a watch which ...
... brings recognition and leaves a strong statement about its owner. Thank you for sharing! Hagwe. Abel
Perfect watch.
Btw not easy to talk with staff about watches even in a shop where they sell good watches.
Isn´t that the truth!!
But there are also very knowledgable exceptions of course. Best Andreas
I love that La Tradition
had that same model about 10 years ago and stil miss it sometimes (and also, strangely, the box, which I quite liked). Really nice piece. Andreas
Amazing purchase... incredibly clean dial. I love this piece.
And the seconds hand!!! Mezmerizing 🤗
This is such a great watch!
Have been looking at this countless times. Congratulations and wear it in good health!
