Wonderful pair!
I Always get amazed how different the GP 1966 with Enamel dial looks in White Gold compared to the Pink Gold...
Crisp and cool vs soft and warm.

WristScan for 9/16/2016 starts now: Modern watches with a Vintage twist!
Now that I am back in school the budget is a little tight. But I fell in love with this modern interpretation of a vintage model released by Bulova in the 1950's. A generic automatic Sellita movement but so far + 4 sec per day on the wrist. I love the app...
Similar, yet . . .
. . . centuries apart; the paradigm for Mike's theme. I was hoping someone would post a Tradition! Art
Here I am!
If you well remember, I was in the starting-blocks two days ago... for a false start Best wishes Alkiro
Many thanks Mike
Of course, I did not take the second shot but it was important to show it. Best wishes Alkiro
Both awesome watches Alkiro! I hope to get a La Tradition someday, as I feel it...
... epitomizes the spirit of a Breguet watch. Hope you get the Reveil du Tsar some day soon! Keep enjoying and loving your Breguet in good health! Cheers! Abel.
It has to be a GP with "Vintage" in the name
and then it can only be the Vintage 1945. What I really like is how GP took the original 1940ies design and modernised it without adding any faux patina. Over the years since the release in 1995, the case size has increased but it is done in a very clever...
CC, did the original also have a curved case back?
I once owned an example of the Vintage 1945...in retrospect, it was the most comfortable watch that I've worn. Best, Mike
Hi Mike, if I recall correctly
the case back of the original is a snap-on caseback and not curved but the overall case shape is curved like in the modern incarnation. CC
Thanks, I have a vintage Gruen Curvex from the 40's
with a curved back but I didn't know if any other manufactures at the time was implementing it as well. What an optical illusion on the original GP though....it really looked like it did. Thanks, Mike
Hello CC, my friend !.. This is a spectacular example & Splendid "TT"Vintage 1945 !.. Guess I should maybe see & try it ! :))
Would be my first rectangular GP - quite tempting ! Ahemm.. The historical is a feast fir the eyes ! Thx for this great share ! Chees & HAGWE !! hs
The re-edition is very close to the original
I do like the newer proportions and the curved case a whole lot, and the comfort on the wrist is top notch
Here we go ...
Mike, Great and easy, for me that I'm fanatic about reeditions, theme. 1) Omega Speedmaster '57 9300 "Vintage". Pure joy on my wrist. Notice the "sandwich" dial. Even in B&W, it looks and is very cool. 2) Omega Seamaster 300m Titanium 3) The recent CK...
When it comes to honoring the past . . .
. . . it's hard to envision any manufacturer having a deeper commitment than Omega. This year's CK2998 is a good example. Faithful in most respects except color pattern, yet unmistakeably a Speedmaster. Art
Nice selection. Love the boxed crystal on that Speedmaster 57.
Have a good weekend Nilo. Cheers, Mike
What a line up, Nilo! :)
The 2998 is the best "Re-edition" in years!, IMO. HAGWE Blomman
Is there ever a more modern version of a vintage icon than this....
Another of my fun work 'yellow' photo shoots... And then there are 2 modern icons from a vintage heritage that everybody knows... Have agreat weekend everybody. Andy. ...
. . . and both have been in continuous production . . .
. . . for five decades, and then some. There's a reason they're classics ;-) . . .
You know what they say....
If it aint broke don't fix it...!!! It was a year ago we were playing pool together....great day that was ending in the Rainbow Andy.
Was it really a year ago? . . .
In order to win, you've gotta bank 'em in! . . . time for a return visit, Andy ;-) . . .
And that is a small factoid that I never even realized
Learning something everyday! Cheers, Mike
Easy.....the Daytona...!!!
Absolutely stunning piece and when you get it side by side with the Speedy you really appreciate the quality of the Rolex....every detail is just perfection. Do you have a favourite between the 2..? Andy.
I guess I am biased with the Speedy since I also own a version but I've
never had the pleasure of having one side by side with a Daytona to make the comparision. I think I need to make a trip to the store Best, Mike
That is two great icons! :)
Interesting to see them side-by-side. A lot of common Points, but in the samt time very different! HAGWE Blomman
There's not much separating Grand Seiko's SBGW047 . . .
. . . ca '13 . . . . . . from the original '67 44 GS. Art ...
Timeless...
Actually I was thinking about the GS line when I came up with the theme but I don't have one with me now in Pennsylvania. I love all the polished surfaces on the hands and indicies. Cheers, Mike
Must have been a nice day, art,
When the photo was taken. Beautiful sunset with a classic! Best regards, -- seeks
Wonderful shot, Art!
One day I hope to be able to make a "Blomman shot" with this background! HAGWE Blomman
Moments before that wrist shot was taken . . .
. . . this seabird was contemplating a miniature watermelon . . . . . . not three meters from where I stood. ...
Art, I see the same watch twice ... or am I mistaken?
Maybe the other photo evaporated into the sunset. Mike
Love those thick lugs Art! Ant this picture reminds me I need to have...
... a GS in my collection! Hagwe! Abel
The Swedes invented smörgåsbord, Nicolas. Coincidence? . . .
. . . I think not ;-) . . .
Didn't have the patience to sync the seconds....
Due to only the modern once have hack second... HAGWE Blomman
LOL
I noticed the "second problem" too. I am a little bit disappointed Best wishes Alkiro
One of the very first photos I posted here in the forum...
Was this one - actually it was included in my very first post here! Do a search in the JLC forum on " Ten years since I got my first JLC " and you will find my introduction here... Best Blomman ...
Hey, on this one the second hands are perfect :-)
I will have a look. Best wishes Alkiro
Too amazing for words!
Thank you for cropping off the 7 watches at top and bottom ! Good prevention of heart attacks ! Amazing collection !
LOL! I corpped because....
They are not direct linked, but come to Think of it.... I could have kept the top row since they are inspired from the Polaris! HAGWE Blomman
