Wow Captain!! I’m deeply impressed!!
That Gold Submariner is a dream! Didn’t know you owned this gem.
I love golden Subs, specially the earlier niple dials 1680/8 200 mts like yours.
I own a later version which is very nice with its blue turned purple dial but it lacks the charm of your previous version.
Regarding Moonshine … you know my feelings.
And I understand why they were impressed with your PO! Lol!
Great choices my dear friends.
Hagwe! Abel

The WS for the 11th of November - ‘Dress to impress’ - is live
First of all apologies for the delay - something came up unfortunately. Irrespective, the WS for this weekend - ‘Dress to impress’ - is now live. So watches that you would wear for special occasions, whatever these are for you are what I am looking forwar...
I will have to do mine in installments…
Between drive sections. But to get the ball rolling here are some first ones: ...
Hello dear friend KM: you share some great watches here…
… which surely serve to dress and impress. I’m specially fond of your signature VC timepiece. So unique and elegant design! Tough my personal preferences in watches are sport/tool types and usually dress sport/casual clothes I own a few timepieces which I...
Fantastic, Abel!
I am glad the theme brought out some pieces you show less often but which are no less appealing as a result 👍🏻 The Patek, the DD, Reverso, FPJ, Cartiers - all fabulous choices 👌🏻
Thank you so much dear KM. You are so kind. I’m happy…
… to know you like my choices. Indeed these are timepieces I do not wear often but which I love so much in spite of that. It’s my big pleasure to share them here! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel
I’m impressed ! …
So good to see your dressier collection of watches this weekend. All are absolutely gorgeous. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much for your so kind comments dear Captain!
I’m glad to read you like them. I don’t wear them very often but love them and they give me much pleasure to own and admire them. Have an enjoyable weekend my dear friend. Abel
It’s all about the pleasure they give …
Not using them regularly keeps the magic for special occasions.
Thank you so much for your kind comments my friend!
I’m also very fond of the Rouge Reverso which I find so versatile. Hagwe! Abel
I know, I know - very much too late but ( was away for almost 2 wks).. Just couldn’t resist & thus wanted to drop you a line about these of your last week‘s choices..
- Really liked your „sequence of pleasure“, whereby your Patek Calendrier, the 2 Cartiers and the good ol‘ Rolex Day Date WG are my personal favs. And not to forget the FP Journe - what a classic to dress, especially with the black leather strap. In fact,...
Hello my dear friend HS! It´s never too late! I was missing your participation in our last WS events and I´m happy to read you now. Thank you so much for your so kind comments...
... on my choices for playing last weekend Theme. These are watches I don´t wear very often but love them so much, and I´m so glad you like them too. Thank you so much again for letting me know. I send you my best cordial regards and good wishes dear frie...
Thanks Captain!
The Cartier gets lots of everyday use as well but equally well doubles as something for more formal occasions 😊👍🏻
Ah, complicated…
The strap appears to be attached with two screws on each side into the bottom of the case - making it one of the rare watches where I never change straps 😊🤷🏻♂️
Two fantastic pieces for the theme!
Both classy, both sufficiently unique to fully fit a special occasion 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Wearing this VH during last night’s GPHG
So a special watch for a special occasion imho ...
It’s a thoroughly special watch and one I one day hope to add…
Hope you enjoyed the show 👌🏻👍🏻
This minerva collection villeret beauty always impresses me!
More light for colors on the dial ...
This one certainly is…
A thoroughly impressive piece 👌🏻👏🏻 Fantastic on the red strap, too 🙌🏻
Who needs a watch…
With a V12 to do the music 😁👌🏻 Two very nice, classic pieces there and still curious which V12 it is 🤞🏻
The theme has seemingly been done with you in mind
Your selection is almost endless and one piece more fitting than the next 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Simply wow 🤩
Many thanks.
The Patek and VC CDV both feature signature lugs for dress chronographs - but very different approaches. The Patek’s stepped lugs add an Art Deco touch and the CDV - well that’s something else. And the GMT-6 has the signature “tear drop” KV lugs
And some more…
My only colored metal watch, hiding a true gem of a movement inside (the Zenith Cal. 135 adapted to central seconds in its Vostok 2809 iteration). I have worn this with black tie, albeit not on this strap 😂 And the Minerva Pythagore is always a contender ...
The Vostok is certainly different from their more common divers…
As is the Minerva 😁👍🏻
Another member for whom the theme appears custom made!
What a raft of exquisite combinations! The strap pairings and sartorial choices are sublime 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
A few finer moments in life …
Hello dear KM and friends ! Simply the pleasure of enjoying the moment, that impresses me more than most things in life… Casually impressive ? … Impressive match ? … They were impressed ;-)) … Have a great weekend everyone ! Best regards Captain ...

Generating pleasure for oneself…
Should be the highest motto - in most cases no one else knows what you’re wearing anyway 😉 The choices you have made are sublime for that very purpose - bringing pleasure to the owner 👍🏻
I completely agree …
and thank you for your kind words. I started collecting by choosing watches that gave me personal pleasure, something that I intended to continue doing. Trends come and go but if you really love a watch, a car or a woman none of it matters 😉
For me,dress watches for formal occasions tend to be slim and elegant
...like this VC very slim case for a thin movement my full calender for new year's eve and the new year not too slim,but elegant enough to be enjoyed a versatile watch for all occasions Great ...
Glad you like the theme!
And it seems to be one close to your heart and collection 😊 I fully agree with the thin and simple theme - close to my heart, too! And the specimen shown, be it the VC, Cartier or the others all fit so well 🙌🏻👌🏻
Frankly, I'm the kind of guy that could wear . . .
. . . a Flightmaster . . . . . . on special occasions. I might even wear short pants. But if I had to pick out a dress watch from my collection by traditional standards, it would be the Genève. And no short pants. Tennis shoes, maybe. ;-) ...
Both fine choices 👌🏻👍🏻
You’d certainly get me with the Flightmaster and the Geneve is an impeccable choice for sure 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Thanks - at the dressier end of my watches
Manual winding & being relatively slim also help. Cheers JML
Love how you sneak in the cheeky diver…
And make it work! Love the combinations 🙌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
