Wow a virtual gtg! I want to join too :)
Here are some recent shots to share in this gtg.
Cheers

Honeymoon continues with my Piaget Polo Skeleton this weekend.
Am starting to appreciate the case and bracelet for their fine finishing in addition to comfort on the wrist.
Wearing another Piaget this weekend with my Altiplano 900P. Been neglecting this beauty after I bought the Piaget Polos. This dress watch is not difficult to dress down with its modern vibes and black movement plates.

Wrist Scan Virtual G-t-g . . .
. . . is live from So Cal and locales around the globe! Our alphabet-soup gang gathering will be held Saturday afternoon. Most attendees share several watches, but I typically bring only the latest additions to my collection. I'll have two new additions t...
Kicking off the virtual GTG!
I will follow your lead, and bring only my latest acquisition... my Holthinrichs Raw Ornament which I'm still honeymoon-ing with after 2 months. I love it! And while I'm sure there will be lots of food pictures, I'll go with what I like to end my meals wi...
Good morning NT931! You arrive early to the GTG with a true beauty! I can well understand your love. And of course we know your love for chocolate and I join you in this taste too.
Enjoy the GTG and the weekend so much and big congrats on this wonderful addition to your collection. Best, Abel
Very interesting….
3D printing to produce case is certainly an interesting and different concept. Looks very good.
Had to look up Holthinrichs . . .
. . . as I was only vaguely familiar with them. Cool stuff! Several of the guys at our Saturday g-t-g are indie collectors, so chances are fair one will make an appearance here, too. Oh, and as far as today's breakfast is concerned, so far I've had two cu...
Getting ready for a small GTG with some friends tonight
First a quick coffee and then on my way. Will hopefully post some pics later for our virtual party 🙏🏻🤗 ...
Thanks dear friends! And Brandon I’m sure you’ll enjoy your visit
Holthinrichs has a lovely atelier in Delft . I’ve never been there, but the pics look lovely.
Good morning Captain! To start a good day nothing beter than beginning with a good breakfast! May I joing you?
Will return later with my watch roll! Cheers! Abel ...
I'll be having brunch with friends later this morning . . .
. . . before picking up Timerider from the airport. The café is on the beach . . . should have pics up later today. 🍳
Quite alright, Cap, quite alright! Got to hang out with my former work colleagues James and Patti earlier today . . .
. . . at a café not fifty yards from where I took the photo posted in my reply to Kevster. Forgot to take a pic of brunch, though ;-) . . . ...
Deep Stream
I'll be sporting this one tomorrow. It may be leaving my collection shortly so here is a good chance to spin it up. K ...
Yes, the dial color was made . . .
. . . to my requested shade. Dornblüth prepared three samples, out of which . . . . . . this one - RAL 7037 - was chosen. Art ...
Hello dear Art! Your Dornbluth is gorgeous!! I hope to see it in the metal…
… some day soon. I’m happy for you imagining how much you are enjoying Timerider visit and tomorrow GTG. I surely would love to be able to join you and your friends. Here I bring my watch rolls to participate in our virtual GTG! Have a nice weekend dear A...
If there's anything I like more than Flightmasters . . .
. . . it's peppers! Especially the hot kind . . . a jalapeño a day keeps the doctor away. 🌶
Ha ha ha!! Jalapeños better than apples to keep doctors away?
I need to try it dear Art!! Lol!! Best! Abel
I live in Phoenix; when you’re born here, they send you home with a pepper basket
I love hot peppers, and medium; and mild as well. and how about NM hatch chilies! 🌶 Yum
What an interesting custom Douglas!! Wow!! Keep enjoying hot…
… peppers so much!! Cheers! Abel
In all seriousness, there's at least one jalapeño a day . . .
. . . on my menu, and now that Uncle Jake has dozens of pepper plants in his garden, mostly home-grown, too.
Thank you so much dear friend Yakomino! Glad you liked…
… my selection!! Enjoy your weekend my dear friend! Abel
I wasn't aware of this re-issue until just now . . .
. . . and intrigued the model name isn't printed on the dial. Vintage 'Powerwind' Midos are collectible . . . is there a reason why the homage doesn't pay tribute? Curious, Art
Dear Art, when youre right, youre right. I fully agree with u. The POWERWIND is such a cool name.
The re issue has a cool name too, but let me take a deep breath first: Mido ocean star decompression timmer limited edition 😁
Glad to know that dear @lberti.
This is a beautiful and colorful edition indeed. Keep enjoying them so much!! Cheers! Abel
Habring2 to join in from Austria...
Pics from my recent trip to visit the homeland of it's birth ;-) Finally, one for Art and the beer lovers... HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
Gösser dunkel is tops on my list, and locally . . .
. . . available on tap when Arnie owned a restaurant in Santa Monica; only made it there once a zillion years ago. Kudos on getting to enjoy it properly in the homeland, Tim! Best, Art
Habring looking superb in its natural habitat …
Hope you are keeping well and enjoying life Tim 🥂
Terrific shots with your H2 (an Erwin ?).. Splendid surroundings & lovely landscape with great vistas !.. Looks like a great trip..
Really enjoyed your picture line-up ! - Well done !! Best, hs
Hey hs, good to hear from you.
It was trip to remember, fortunately I took many pics. The watch is a 41mm Grand Erwin that i commissioned a couple of years ago. One of my watches that’s gets a lot of wrist time! Cheers, Tim
Hello Tim, in kind return !.. It truly looks like you had a very nice trip !.. Thx for the clarifying with your Grand Erwin 41..
Wasn’t aware that Richard & Maria also take special commissions for other dimensions, than eg usual for Erwin “regular”.. Either way, indeed a very attractive watch, the dial & indices/numbers playing with different lighting conditions, I like a lot !...
Hi HS,
To clarify, this wasn't a one off piece. Rather a series of 10 pieces I commissioned. Maria & Richard will entertain one off pieces for a fee, however I have worked with them since 2005, so we've done few special editions over the years ;-) Thanks for the...
Thx Tim, for the kind response,. Which clarifies a bit the Ins & Outs
Either way, I also appreciate the two pieces I got from them. I always find their pragmatic, yet attractive approaches and the way they have meanwhile established their Manufacture really successfully in the group of Independents. Cheers, hs.
Getting ready for the GTG. I ll take my two favorite panerais and of course the vital items:
- Panerai Passport, Strap bag and watch travel bag from corrigia, as much straps as I can put in the straps bag, tools,… As soon as we meet it’s time for the table shoots ...
Wow dear Ahoi!! That´s a real Panerai GTG!! I surely would love to joing you there!! You went well prepared to the meeting with watches and bags with accesories and straps.
Breathtaking table shots you are sharing here!! I´m sure you have spent a great time and in great company!! Thanks a lot for sharing my friend! Hagwe! Abel
Had a nice small GTG dinner with some local friends last night
But happy i could join this great virtual event to today so I brought my two latest additions Hagwe 🤗 ...
Does the Habring monopusher employ the same base movement as their chrono . . .
. . . actuated solely by the crown? Had dinner earlier this evening with Timerider, but again forgot to take pics. Fish 'n chips just yards from the Pacific in Malibu . . . and coincidentally two indies present, his Grönefeld and my Dornblüth. Quite possi...
Awesome additions to your wonderful collection Watchonthewrist! It looks like you had a wonderful time at your GTG yesterday night.
Two beauties you share. I´m specially in love with your Habring chrono, sector dial and color are superb! Lovely watch. Thank you for sharing here! Enjoy them so much and have a nice and relaxed weekend my friend. Abel
Welcome to our virtual GTG Ajas! I hope you´ll enjoy participating here. A classic beautiful Panerai you brought to our meeting!! Look forward to know more about your horological tastes and ...
... collection through your posts! Best cordial regards, Abel
