i really like that 60's style Art. perhaps its because i'm a 60's man
who knows? i just like it. best Graham
Omegas from the 50s and 60s are . . .
. . . to watches as pizza is to cuisine - humble, delicious, and satisfying! I can't quite tell if the markers are slotted or if they're filled with onyx . . . either way, they match the hands perfectly. Thanks for sharing, Stefan . . . cordially, Art
Thats a beauty...
I love the the very stylized Arabic numberals, and its such a clean design. Great choice. Best regards, Dino
Ceramic for me today
This is a special edition Seiko Kinetic Chronograph using the 9T82 movement Has a retro look on the stainless steel bracelet Huge crystal and ceramic bezel to reduce the bumps and nicks This has no batteries; power is generated by a rotor in the back of t...
very very interesting Mike.
i'm never sure about Kinetic's as they are essentially quartz movements powered by a rotor and i have an aversion to quartz, but this watch and many other seiko's appeal to me. whats the life expectancy of the rechargable bit inside the movement Mike? i k...
Not sure about the life expectancy
Hi Graham, This particular watch movement 9T82 seems to be a bit like the mecha-quartz JLC / IWC movement, in that there are lots of pushers, jewels, mechanical bits, polished and beveled plates, etc. PLUS the quartz time-keeping elements. The Seiko site ...
Mike, the capacitors can be...
Mike, the capacitors can be replaced at a cost that isnt huge so as long as Seiko still keep spares when it goes there should be no longevity problem. when i used to sell used cheapies on fleabay i had several kinetics and enquired on parts which were eas...
Hi, Bill - I remember asking you a while back . . .
. . . about the two currents in your collection, Panerai and vintage Rolex (and Tudor) . . . have you found yourself drifting more towards one than the other lately? Cordially, Art
I have enogh love and passion to cover both
and then some LOL. Take care Art. Bill Beer some time soon?
We should have another Santa Monica g-t-g, Bill . . .
. . . soon, I hope ;-) . . . best, Art
Looks like the weekend is taking shape
You are getting an early start on the water action. I hope it does not get to crowed out there. HAGWE Bill
I wish, Bill, but it's an old pic.
The Aquatimer and I are presently staring out my office window down at the 101 way below! (But maybe we'll get to the beach this weekend.) HAGWE! Jed
wish i could afford to wear that
on my dive to tioman later this month. I'll probably marr the whole watch
Quick temp change up
Gotta go and move some boxes. No need to scratch the Tudor plexi especially a nice dome. Rough and tough Sinn to the rescue. Tudor will go back shortly. Bill...
In honour.....
of Aston Martin's win.... I switched An older photo but this one is on my wrist today HAGWE Cheers...
Very nice RG version, PP
Another one we don't often see. Always a pleasure to admire it, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Good idea, Pink. Me, too. [nt]

Breitling at the Beach...
Really love this picture...Have a great weekend everyone!!!...
Difficult situation, CL :)
You shoulds sell them both and buy a Grande Complication! you would have all in only one watch!!! Congrats! Nicolas
Gorgeous!
It would take a pair such as the Tourbograph and the Patek 5016 to rival these two you have and still not be as wearable!
Something different today!!!
I thought I would give you something different today! This is my Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece Chronoglobe Automatique'....nothing fancy but for it's price point in 2002, it is very functional and very nice to look at. This is a stainless steel case with a ...
Not the ordinary fare for wrist-shot Friday, big daddy . . .
. . . thanks for sharing this rarely seen ML . . . cordially, Art
still on vacation
(they are long in Germany!), so still with the same watch - does not get boring though: A good weekend to all, Andreas...
WG Tradition! High, very high in my wish list!
Thans for sharing this Beauty, Andreas. The strange thing is that we don't often see this Beauty, or at least, not as often as I would like to see it! Best, Nicolas
the YG traditional tradition very high on my wishlist
the WG looks great, but i just personally feel that the YG is more suited to the watch. a similar watch, the Panoinverse is perfect in WG as it has a more modern appearance. just my personal opinion if i could own both. Graham
good point. In no other watch I bought
I thought as long about which metal I would prefer. In the end the YG is "too much" for me to wear as an everyday business watch, and I chose the WG. I also prefer it by way of looks, especially the blue pare-chute never ceases to delight me. It is true t...
Another ‘bottom’ ...
As there are a few backsides on display this week, here’s mine. Saturday morning here already and just back from swimming. You will have to believe me that this is a ‘realtime’ image without the real time. Have a good weekend. Andrew Ps. thanks for the ne...
I too love to wear my Reverso this way, Andrew!
At least, it was a bit for what it has been made... Turn the Back to Time... Best Nicolas
Lange for me...
... missed that watch so much. Went for a long month of holiday, and didn't take it with me. Finding it back, i jst can't take it off my wrist. HAGWE to all, Karim...
Great to see you back here, Karim
With a very nice Lange TZ! Hope all was good and fun for you, Best, Nicolas
A Group Photo, Jeff?
A Cartier, and in the background, looks like some JLC Compressors... Richemont at its Best? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Didn't even notice that Nicolas...
Just great ! Now I'll have to add an Lange piece to my collection just to remain in standings with the Richemount family :-D Cheers, Jeff
Wempe Chronometerwerke for me
I've always been a round watch guy but this shape has been growing on me, and it's very comfortable on the wrist. I wish I could take better macro shots of movements like many of you. The movement on this simple handwind is very nice to look at. Just a ni...
Just spent some time this morning
to set this one up. Always a joy to sit down and re-read the Trilogy book and enjoy the watch....
thats is superb Allen, but...
thats is superb Allen, but do you understand it? i certainly dont :) best Graham
That's why I have to re-read the book..
everytime I take it out of the safe! It's just so fascinating that it never gets old. For instance, you can tell that the days and nights are getting close to being the same length (by Sep 23) by looking at the curvature of that wire spring (that sits on ...
NAAAAAAH, Allen!
Speeechless...You let me speechless, my friend. THAT is one of my long hunt watch! Absolutely fantastic astronomical UN. Best, my friend. Nicolas...who won't never RIP after that vision!
Thanks, Nicolas.
It's one of those watches that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. I guess it's because, as Graham says, not too many people understand it. Even if you do, you'll forget how it works and have to take a refresher course. There are a few out there if ...
In platinum, Allen?
Never saw one for sale! Damn, my friend, I would spe,nd with pleasure one whole wee to understand how it works! And I don't really care about what people thin about this watch. I know what I think, and that's enough for me! Best, my friend. Feel free to p...
Wow, Allen, I’m speechless.
This trilogy is one of the good Professors greatest pieces of work. You have to post a complete series on these watches for us. Thanks! Andrew
I'm afraid it's the only one that I own of the Trilogy
I would love to own the other two as well, just haven't found any in good condition. Thanks for your kind words, Andrew!
My favourite astronomical watch too...
Highly underrated IMHO by the watch buying public, not sure why, as it is a technical Tour de Force, one of, if not Ludwig's best ever creations, I love the depth of the dial and each watch is slightly different from the other 99 pieces in platinum, as th...
