I'm looking forward to see it when back from the Spa. For me, three acquisitions I took time to desire and think about, and that will count for at least 2013 too. Have a great week-end, Mark ...  

But the D.B. sings loud to me. Congrats, Nilo

I see here and there that many people like this simple DB (nearly) as much as I do ^^ Thanks for your words Nilo :) Cheers, Mark

Definitely on my list... Best, Gary

many boxes checked when talking about mechanics or spirit and RM DNA. It remains discrete very wearable too and this is a major point. Thanks Gary! Cheers, Mark

of which the DB is clearly my favorite. What a beautiful dial and the whole package is just perfect. Best Andreas

and I also like this "more inside that can't be seen from outside" thing. Thanks Andreas! Cheers, Mark

with a little effort I think I might find a few others that could fit :p Cheers, Mark

. . . was a mechanic, Mark. This was his one good watch, and he owned it for well over half a century. It's humbling to be the caretaker of such a treasured timepiece.

and still in the process of doing so but I got this earlier this year and I think I will be holding on to this piece. Best to you and yours for 2013 Art! ...  

and nice to have you "back" ;) Best Damjan

Superb catch, Arthur. Bravo. Nicolas

What a piece! Sure you're holding on to it. GEO

. . . of Glenmorangie than a case of Absolut ;-) . . .

A Tudor year... I have 3 or 4 Tudors to get, in the Vintage family... Maybe next year? Best, and enjoy yours! Nicolas

I look forward to seeing the vintage Tudors that you are after, Nicolas. Joyeux Noel et Bonne Annee to you and your family! John

Your pictures increase my deep regrets of letting go mine. Cheers, Nilo

just a matter of time and my diabolical postings ;)

But the Tudor curse. Cheers, Nilo

. . . earlier this year, j! Hope there's another opportunity to visit So Cal in 2013 . . .

anything more would have required a visit to the bankers at some point for loans! Pic quality not the best, but here they are....had a good year in all respects, to me at least :-) Happy new year all. Wishing you all have a great 2013 ahead. Richard ...  

A FM Casablanca! That was maybe 10 years I didn't see one! And the PanoInverse... One I woill have to get, one day... Not bad at all, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

Thanks for the kind words, my friend. The Panoinverse has been on my list since the release in 2008....and the update it received made it even more desirable for me. Looking forward to welcoming you as another owner of a beautiful piece :-) Richard

cool FM, and the Panoreverse is a modern classic! Best Andreas

Always a pleasure to share this joy with fellow friends here. Best, Richard

To be honest: I like it myself. Being no skilled photographer at all and always envying other forum people around here for their abilities, I wonder how I managed to take this picture! Kind regards anaesdoc
