WristScan

Dear fellow Purists, as it is already Friday again, I take pride in opening the wristshot thread. Being on night shift today, I´m wearing a very legible (due to its luminescence) watch at work and a much more beautiful one later at home. Hope you have a p...  

Classic JLC - impossible to tire of those lines. Cheers, pplater.

The plan to wear a new acquisition until it rusted onto the wrist was interrupted briefly in order to respond to a post initiated by Art earlier in the week (Art’s post may be read here: Art's thread ). The Archer having been pulled from the watchbox, it ...  

" It is great to be wearing something created by one of our own "... And even greater when the watch is so well made! Congrats to Al, and to you, pplater for wearing such a great watch, today. Best, Nicolas

I'm sure it feels good to support one of our fellow PuristS! Al has several very nice watches in his catalogue! Cheers, Daos

I got the inspiration from seeing yours.

that is a nice one. Congrats. One that I miss in my humble collection ... Oliver

...  

which strap do you have with this bad boy..?? I'm thinking about one of these for my birthday this year as one option as it's a big milestone..!! :o) Andy.

and per request of Art, a very raw pic of my new baby, the GO Senator Perpetual Calender PT LE 50. Understated, unassuming, beautiful....  

What I like most about this QP is the clean and uncluttered dial that provides all the information at a glance. Congrats!

Huge congrats, my friend. This PC is so elegant! Wear it well, enjoy it, admire it! Best, Nicolas

. . . the black (and blue) aperture backgrounds along with the polished hands make this the stealthiest perpetual from Glashütte yet. The white print on the dial blends seamlessly with the calendar displays, which makes for a most coherent presentation . ... 

. . . my grey Karree perpetual is on my wrist this weekend in honor of his new compatriot . . . cordially, Art...  

That's an absolutely gorgeous Perpetual Calender.. Great dial layout and nice dial color. Very nice watch!! Regards Mark

Gotta love the GO perps, Senators or Karees! Aloha, Bob

Another JLC I have in mind... Best, Nicolas

Its the MAYDAY weekend Busy attending meetings to fight the baddie SWINE...  

Good luck handling the SWINE! Happy weekend! Daos

watch show...LOL..

Haven't worn this since Christmas Its gonna be a very long weekend with endless rounds of meetings.

Hi VPRegulateur, judging from the hands and the hour markers, your watch must be pretty bright at night time - is it? Kind regards, Anaesdoc

if it is an annual calendar it has all the features of the MIH, but in a very different look. a very nice watch. Ball arent a company that get a lot of press, perhaps they deserve more. best Graham

Its a triple date chrono. Quite easy to handle - I like the arrangement. Thank you.

Yes indeed. The microgas tubules give quite a bright glow in the dark. Comparable to the Panerai's.

Ball has many pretty cool models. haven't quite made the jump there, yet, but been keeping my eye on them. Thanks for the pix. Bob

Ball makes some nice watches Here's another.. Anniversary Watch in Rose Gold...

You're our Cartier Man! HAGWE! Nicolas

HAGWE. Nicolas...  

. . . because if you're at work, I want a job in the same office! Warmest regards, Art

Pic taken when I was in South of France... Best, my friend. Nicolas

I was going to complain the friday -thread started to early .... . Well, you know what i will be wearing today and tomorrow .... Shall i bring the water too ??? See you soon Nicolas ......  

Where it is... Best my friend. Nicolas

You allow me to keep it in my hard disk??. Hope see you soon my friend, here or there!. Best Emilio

...... and you know what ??? This is the last pic i took before i dropped my camera on the rocks ... LOL ... Please keep it on your disk; if my MAC ever crashes i can drive to Spain to get it back .. Filip

it´s The Monster!. I love this watch... I´m really happy seeing it in your wrist. Best mon ami. Emilio.

Don't know if it is THE Monster, but an important watch, YES! At least, for me.. A Review is in the Tube... Best, my friend, and thanks for your nice words. Nicolas PS: I LOVE YOUR AVATAR!

a Review in the Tube... uhmm... it´ll be really a pleasure for the FF´s lovers in particular and for the watches´s lovers in general. And knowing how you made your reviews, this next review will be impressive. Waiting for this. And thanks f... 

have good weekend !...  

I had quite the same one! Fantastic GMT, indeed. Best, Nicolas...  

Thanks Nicolas, yours is/was also fantastic. I would love to see those orangy hands from your watch on mine ;-) . Think they would be a perfect match for the orangy patina on the dial. Unfortunately the hands on mine are very corroded, but the tritium is ...  

As the new Ceramic GMT is another Rolex I have in mind... Thanks for this superb pic. Best, Nicolas

Magnificient historic GMT Ryan ! By the way Nicolas, Why did you get rid of such a piece? I must say I don't get it... especially right now ;-) . François...  

Too long to explain it here, but it was a very sad day when I let go this one... Now, I'm considering buying a 1675 with a superb patina. But will I go on a gilt dial??? Best, Nicolas

do you understand why?... HAGWEE all my dear friends!. Emilio....  

Nice combo, by the way... And superb FF, too. HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

for your nice words. No much watches I´ve seen more beautifuls and with more soul that these FF. I´m a lucky man for were able to admire them in the flesh. And this Bund is simply stunning, IMO... it fits perfect with all the straps that I have.... 

i was going to say the same ... green strap looks stupendous on EJ's FF ... filip

Filip

I´m happy seeing that you like the strap and the combo. this military green nato strap feets really well with the watch. Military connection rule!. Best hermano La bomba emilio

. . . the classic Omega Seamasters - especially the 300 - I've come around to an appreciation for the classic Fifty Fathoms from all the photos and posts on our forums. The wide bezel to dial proportions, bubble crystal, and oversize crown in conjunction ... 

these FF, and other watches like the Seamaster 300 (I love this watch), are simply stunning watches. I think that your words explains it really well, "the FF are watches that trancend its generation". For me, the same happen with the SM 300, the Memovoxes... 

the raised logo is an eye catcher ! HAGWE

the raised logo is an eye catcher. The first time I saw this "raised logo" FF I felt a bit abduced. The same happened with its brothers with have the moisture indicator. These dials are perfects and well balanced. In this case, the touch of colour, make i... 

although it was the date version. great watch. allegedly a polish military issue with MWxxxx on the back, but from what i've learnt since i let it go that provenance could have been doubtful. if it was 'militarised' its a shame as it is a perfectly nice h... 

Certanlly this model is a great watch. I prefer the no-date version, but the date version is awesome too. The military connection is no a problem. In my case, I like thinking that this watch was really a true toolwatch, had a "hard" life, make the job for... 

Emilio, if you like the sm300 you'll like what i have just obtained. i have, as you probably know, a second model 552 calibre from its entry year of 1964. like Nico's but different dial. last night i managed to win a 1st model 550 calibre which was US onl... 

But I love that!!! Can't wait for your pics, my friend! Best, Nicolas

Nicolas, i am not mad and i can prove it. when i was a copper i had a certificate issued by the doctor every year stating i was sane enough to interact with the public :) i also had a T shirt under my leathers which said 'warning, does not play well with ... 

You´re a lucky man, my friend. And, of course, the ´64 was the best year Best my friend. emilio

thankyou Emilio, it is pure luck i can assure you. hours spent browsing 'that auction site' and then research before and after are the only things i do, the 64's just seem to jump out at me :) are you attending London in June and if so will you be coming ...

At least you don't get the crazy spinning from this one.

The crazy spinning one is not a bad piece either... BTW, congratulations on your classy Cabaret. Best Sam This message has been edited by samwan on 2009-05-01 02:57:42
