What a stunning collection
you show us here, dear Abel.
This fantastic Rolex with this beautifully aged dial, the JLC Worldtimer, the red dialed Reverso…
I have to confess I was rather surprised by the impressive wrist presence of your Omega Speedmaster Blue Side of the Moon. And you know already, that I am a big fan of the Omega Worldtimer in steel.
Many thanks for showing us these marvels.
All the best, my friend and HAGWE

As finally the sun came out in Germany I took the chance to take a closer picture of the dial of the Corrigia01 with its vintage black dial. If you zoom in u see a bit of the details of it. Besides this faded out blackish grey dial it has some kind of rou...
Thank you for these pictures dear Ahoi! This watch has a very strong character and looks like a vintage veteran of many dives. Very interesting dial which adds to its vintage looks.

The Corrigia01 is actually sold out.

My pleasure, dear Abel!
As far as I remember the Speedmaster Moonphase in steel has a better WR than the ceramic version. So a very practical and still similar beautiful choice. ☺️🙏 Cheers Thomas

Thank you Fab…

Always nice to admire nice dials
Sometimes even the simple ones are great if you pay attention, as with this one: Or a busy dial, that plays a lot with light: Many GS dials are a work of art, I personally fell in love with the Omiwatari: Enamel dials are also very special: This very rare...

Thank you so kindly, dear Abel.
The Daytona panda layout reminds me of this: And I love the Hulk! Mine is actually the Sea Dweller red text, but it does look green in that photo. We have a lot of overlapping watches, it seems. And thank you also for the kind words on the Pogue and Calat...
Agree with you that your Daytona reminds this beautiful vintage model. Yes, we share the owning of several pieces. Thank you for the clarification about your Red SD. I notice the inscription...

Superb shots, dear Stoikos!
The pic of the Reverso and the first Daytona photo are excellent! Many congrats Thomas
