( which is still young in his experiences, but learns fast)

FREE as in freedom ...
Team, The most important characteristic of a Purist is freedom. Freedom of thinking, expression and taste. Let's show to the world this freedom and post the picture that you like, how you like. Allow me to start (Yes, I know that I'm late): 1) A simple ch...
Aaargh! You finally got the big Lemania Military Chrono?
I am on this one, too. Bravo! All the best, my friend. Nicolas
Here we have the Swedish invasion ...
Blomman, The mono pusher is a killer. Congratulations, Nilo
Fair deal ...
Donate the mono pusher for a 3rd charity organization (ME) and deduct it from your taxes. I will do this for free. Cheers, Nilo
With or without the Tg on the dial...
Patina or no patina... Big or small crowns on the back...? :) Best Blomman ...
I will have the one with TG ....
I can erase this later. You can keep the NATO. Now serious. I hate NATO straps. They don't fit well on my supermodel wrist. Cheers, Nilo
Apologies for ignorance .. But.. ;)
.. What does the Tg xxxvstand for ? - troop or unit number OR is it a number, related to the productio n of the watch ? Great pair, BTW ! Enjoy your WE, my friend Best, hs
It stands for...
The model name of the military item. Later they changed to "M" numbers. The chrono has article number "M3440 051010" but popular called "Viggen" due to the watch was issued to fighter pilots flying the SAAB Viggen fighter jet. Best, my friend Blomman
Thx, my friend.. I had anticipated something like it, but it is better to exactly know !
Hope all is well. Further to that I wish you and yours a great weekend ( getting cold here, as well ) .. Winter approaching.. Best, hs
Snow outside, I just wish...
... I could fly away to a warmer place...! Best Blomman ...
Then in a childish way .. Very nice toys !..Enjoyed the 2 ctr Chrono !
Best for a great Sunday, - and for the starting winter.. hs
Simple wish ...
Pickup a plane to London then a 747-400 from BA and you wake up here. It's so hot outside that one can, literally, to cook an egg and this is just Spring. Cheers, Nilo
But bring a strap that handle wet weather
Like this one: From my iPad Mini, in real time. No excuses to not take a wrist shot. Thanks to Andrew D. that started this post trend. Cheers, Nilo ...
Love the watch and love the little toy plane my dear friend!
Vintage toys are so charming! Have you got this one when you were a child? I am sharing my Lemania ex SAAF here. Have a nice week end my friend Blomman! Kind regards, Abel. ...
Great chrono, dear Abel!
Lemania is a brand that came into my radar some years ago. And even if I am no-chrono guy... I could not resist! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Now that is so kind
that if you have it at home I'm moving to Sweden :) If I were judge this week other static photos wouldn't stand a chance ;) Best my friend D
Free to choose ...
And the choice is difficult before this friday ... The watches are in their boxes yet ... Mido Powerwind diver : or IWC 814AD "Türler" : Free to think to the best choice ... ...
This Mido ...
Brings me memories ... I didn't paid attention and a dear friend ... hijacked it from the hands of the seller. Here is his Mido (not a full set as yours but): Now the IWC ... it populates my dreams. Congratulations for the gorgeous pair. Cheers, Nilo ...
The one on the low right ...
Put it on a protected package and send it to a warm (it's unreal warm today) place. Cheers, Nilo
And yours is ???
Nicolas, Unfortunately we live on a planet that nothing and nobody is safe. Did you saw the news about the AP robbery in ... Paris, Place Vendome! I have a cocktail to attend tonight. I may switch my watch to my trusty and inexpensive Buren Precision. Che...
Well... You may be right...
I just came back from Swizerland, and I have lot to catch up to get all the news, here. Yes I read that on the forum. Another Boutique which had to face that, after the Vacheron Boutique a few months ago. But normally, when yoyu walk with a Watch on your ...
I would move the...
Down left! Looks like the board is set... Time to play..?! ;) Best, my friend Blomman
You are such a greedy boy. ;) Yes, whenever you want!
When, by the way? ;) Best, Nicolas
Tournament, gentlemen.. Takes at least three players .. I would move upper right first

Great shot Nicolas. I am quite moved! (Just could not resist)
Freedom to rest for my PSM, while defying gravity! Best to all, Tim ...
As two of them have already been moved......
my move for the day is the far right in the middle row. Thank you in advance:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Lower left, lower or upper right ..And then .. Run, run.. ;)
That's chessboard has some veery fine figures on it ! Thank you for sharing this collection ! Best, my friend hs
OK, Then how to play ?.. Let's start with upper right ;))
- These 3 of the 4 corner figures are strong contenders, Without forgetting the middlefielders .. Interesting game.. So many options.. Powerful chess- board, that is indeed, Have a good Friday evening ! Best, hs PS: A lot to digest, to reflect, to play wi...
I'll take the one on the far right...
This way the board will be balanced Nicolas! ;-) HAGWE! -- Richard.
To day I would wear the one on third row second column..Tan solo un capricho Nicolas!
Any of these chess pieces would be an awesome choice my dear friend!! Un abrazo y buen fin de semana mi amigo!!
Stalemate!
So many beauties on the board, I wouldn't know where to begin. Freedom with that much choice can be painful with only two wrists to go round.
This is a timely theme, Nilo. I've just . . .
. . . helped a dear life-long friend regain his personal freedom from conservatorship, and he's now enjoying his first full day back at his home. Without going into details, I will make two comments based on his experience: first, you should always have a...
Black Connie is kinda like Lee Remick . . .
. . . in Anatomy of a Murder - naturally coy, but . . . . . . demure when it suits her. ...
You forgot to wrap up ...
Lee and the Connie are just Sexy. Well, Lee was. Cheers, Nilo
Love the summarization
of your post dear Art To many things we take for granted.... unfortunately so and sometimes with very sad outcomes Cordially yours Damjan P.S. Connie in natural environment ;)
Connie was on my wrist last night . . .
. . . at the 8-ball tournament, Damjan. Picked up the first game easily, lost the second on a last-shot blunder, won the third with a three-rail bank shot into a side pocket on my last ball before sinking the 8, and then lost the fourth. A little rusty du...
Black Connie is by far and away the most difficult . . .
. . . subject to photograph in my collection. It's almost impossible for me to come up with a great image; Andrew, amazingly enough, took terrific snaps with ease using his Leica. Here's a static photo from earlier this year . . . . . . taken close to sun...
Sounds like there is light at the end of the tunnel
Sensible advice, Art, and a great watch to accompany you through life's ups and downs, twists and turns. Andrew
My friend's a gutsy guy who's bounced back . . .
. . . from a diabetic coma earlier this year. I just came back home after spending the afternoon with him shopping for a new refrigerator and cell phone; he's home, but not really quite at home yet. You might recall my posting images forwarded from the Pu...
This is one of the Patek watches that ...
I consider "plus-que-parfait". Congratulation for the watches and the shirt. Cheers, Nilo
Thks Nilo
The shirt do blend quite well with the PATEK .... its call BATIK. An Indonesian original and traditional attire. Best Iceman
LOL Nilo. I would consider it more like.....
"passe compose".......tres compose:) Cheers Francois from ..also very hot Down Under
I can only mirror ...
... what others have said. A superb pair of watches and I love the colors in the Patek photo. Well done. Andrew
Freedom in 10 hours
Hi All My Nomos tells me freedom arrives in about 10 hours :-) . Roll on the weekend. Yawn far too early! Cheers JML ...
That's great ...
But with a Nomos like yours, you don't need too much. I love minimalist designs and Nomos, against the current trend of complicated dials, rules. Cheers, Nilo
Thanks
Hi Even though there's quite a lot going on - power reserve, sub seconds and a date the dial doesn't feel at all cluttered. Also the size is great - it wears a lot bigger than its actual size, though despite everything a really slim and elegant watch. Che...
