As announced yesterday, the theme for this week's Wristscan is free, although unchained is also an interesting aspect to consider (liberated, too). Here's my entry - the Chopard LUC Sport 2000. The liberating aspect was the way it came about. As both my C...
. . . sans chains? Yes! Silver chain draped over . . . . . . the Rail. Off for a haircut, then headed downtown to hang out with my cousin and his poker group tonight. Cards aren't up my alley, but he's got a pool table . . . all I need are a few takers! B...
As for cards, there is only one game I still enjoy - tarock. But then you need a minimum of three (four is better) to play properly and I am not well enough organised for that at the moment...
An AD had a Railmaster in the shop window for a day, the Boutique still did not get any it seems, not even the non-limited version, which I would really like to try. So you are not the only one
Howdy fellow Purists, submitting a bevy of wristshots, a separate post on Horological Meanderings on the horo-rationale for each piece soon Best, Horo ...

... starting with a photo that I believe showcases the strong character of the Omega Railmaster Trilogy 1957: ... followed by a watch you have most probably not seen before, which is no surprise since it is a prototype of a new model I will introduce in a...
. . . as original specimens were never easy to find, and practically impossible now. Not many vintage Omegas left on my list; an RAF (and there were a few) would be a natural complement to my 2179 that's finally running properly after three years of tinke...
. . . and it's the classic reference every Omega collector should have: their first automatic chronomètre. There are a few more in the watchmaker's pipeline that have already been shared on the Omega forum, but not here on WS as they're not ready for prim...
. . . for the US Army, Nicolas. There were a few purely civilian models (delineated by a 2179 reference number without a -x ), but chances are almost certain any 2179 you find will have US military roots. The distinction between those with a 'US Army' eng...
