You guessed correctly ...
Thanks for the kind comments, Art.
Yes, a new camera, the Leica DLux-4. Well known to many on the Forum. It was the helpful advice of Geo and the shots of Oliver, Nicolas, Thomas and others that pushed me down this path. Very pleased with the camera and I have been getting the same enjoyment that I did with my first 35mm film SLR 30 years ago that was absent with digital. The baby Leica gives me great natural colours and is good in low-light situations; the macro performance is also well known.
Still learning my way around it, but hopefully I can reward you all with better watch photos!
Regards
Andrew

First Friday of the New Year . . .
. . . will see the Senator Sixties . . . . . . on my wrist. A fresh wrist shot will be taken in the morning, folks . . . cordially, Art...
I’m sorry …
I’m sorry, but you are going to have to put up with this Submariner yet again. It’s the watch I reach for day after day when I don’t want to think too much. A watch for all situations, seasons and conditions. At least I can reward your tolerance with a ne...
No need to apologize, Andrew . . .
. . . at least, not with a photo like that! New camera, perhaps? . . . cordially, Art

Wow, it seems you found your vampire watch, Andrew! :)))
And a nice Vampire! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
I didn't quite appreciate the concept ...
I didn't quite appreciate the concept of a vampire watch until this Submariner came along. It is certainly assisted by the fact that it is versatile - fine for work, great with jeans, acceptable at a restaurant in the evening. I might draw the line at the...
Thanks Stefan, pleased you like it ...
... not bad for a 43 year old watch. Born the same year as my wife, and she's not bad either. A
Maxi dial for me too...
Not pics of the day...As it is damn cold, here in Paris. Best, Nicolas...
It's the bezel that astounds . . .
. . . with Arabics printed to suggest a perception of depth. This Benrus has a powerful presence, Nico . . . I can see why you're charmed by it. Btw, we're having perfect weather in So Cal - balmy, cool, and ocean breezes in my locale . . . best regards, ...
Powerful is the word, Art
It's indeed a very attractive watch... One of 2009 Revelation, for me. Lucky you, my friend... I can't stand this weather anymore. Too cold for me. Best, Freezing Vlad.
Inspired by Blingie Nico, or by the TR 900 review? :)))
LOL You know my love for ALL the FFs, my friend! Best, Nicolas
Well, not a pic of the day, Geo.
It was taken several weeks ago. Now, Paris is all white, and veeeery cold! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Pity...
I was looking forward to some rooftop Paris photos with snow....... Have a great weekend my friend.... Cheers
Yes.....
but that was old snow.... Today, according to the news you have more.... Cheers
I love this Maxi Marvel, Hermano!
I love this watch... strong, maxi strong; beautiful, maxi beautiful; Cooooool, maxi cooooooooooool! Un magnifico descubrimiento, para mi, de final de año (por desgracia LOLOL ). Thanks and congrats, my friend Emilio PS: ahhhh, I forgot it (still thinking ...
Wow, it seems like you're having a big love affair, Hermano!
We'll find a Benrus for you! HAGWE Nicolas
One for me.... uhmmmmm!
I love these news!. but, chissssss.... I don´t want that my banker read you... Chisssss I think this watch is one of the watches with most character, charisma and strength that I have seen in time. You know that I always say that "less is more", but I mus...
Well, you'll have some time to save money, Emilio
It is not that easy to find in the " Sterile " version, but it is not a lost case... Will be a perfect companion for your FF Milspec! Best, Nicolas
Yes, that's what it is ...
... strong, bold, purposeful. This is carried through from the hands and dial to the bezel and case. A superb 'tool watch'. Andrew
No pirctures today
Sorry no pictures today because we lost the camera (or it was stolen) they other day during a visit in Paris. In any event I will wear my christmas gift a Boucheron MEC XL with an El Primero mouvement, in rose gold. Limited edition of 100. Upon reflection...
Like a last Hommage to the GG Boutiques which just closed.
Well done, Géo... Much appreciated, for all our friends at GG. Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-01-08 00:01:45
Thanks Nicolas
I actually had the word hommage in the heading, but wondered if that was O.K.. Glad you mention it! GEO
Primordial . . .
. . . and eerie - it looks like it's floating in space. That's quite an effect to bring out of a photo, Steve . . . regards, Art
Terrific pic, Steven...
This black dial is to die for... Each time I open your posts, I have to prepare myself...to face a big shock! Best, Nicolas
Have somehow put this aside for too long...
It's a pretty cold day in HK as well....but here's a "live" one of the ALS Langematik Perpetual. Sam This message has been edited by samwan on 2010-01-07 23:55:50...
Put aside....? It's amazing
One of the Lange watches we do not see every day. Beautiful. Geo
Thx Geo
I know, I know....I wore the PAM 180 this morning but decided to switch to the safe queen this evening (when I will go out for dinner)......
Perfect way to change watches..
.. Samwan And great choices as well I might have had the reverse order though Have a good weekend Hans
Lucky 8 and ...
... very lucky Sam. Superb Lange and I like the gold moon with the gold case. Nice photo too. Thanks! Andrew
Congratulations...
my friend....... However I thought that we would pick them up together..... I guess that you could not wait...... HAGWE.... Cheers
very nice pair, but having 2 is just greedy Patrice :)
its as bad as having 3 sm300's and 3 speedmasters. oops thats me isnt it best Graham
Hi Andreas ...
Sorry my friend, I could not resist ! You send me a mp to tell me when you passes in Paris, I'll try to come specially of Marseille ;-) Amitiés Patrice
I fully understand....
Very hard to resist such a great watch.... Hopefully I will see you when I go to Paris.... I will let you know when.... Cheers
Really congrats, my lucky friend!
This Amvox is just awesome.... and for me, a pleasure enjoy the moment of the hunt with you and great some others friends! HAGWEE, Patrice. Emilio
Gorgeous...
The strap is really cool, as well as the watch! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
Sorry to bore you and thanks to those who provided me
the info to visit Starhill Gallery and Pavilion in KL! A dreamer's place indeed! A wrist shot taken on the day before Fri with the KL Tower as the backdrop. HAGWE Mech....
Thanks Flamenco! Not many Moser owners I know
, certainly many Moser admirers though! I guess it's still pretty 'unknown' to many. Share some of your pix of your pieces with us soon. I'm feeling 'lonely' already hahaha Mech.
I am also a great Moser fan...
... but still need my first purchase. :-( My main problem is that I can purchase them nowhere around here. But for all the Moser owners, please post tons of picture of the Mosers Best regards Hans This message has been edited by hans_jorgen_1968 on 2010-0...
Thanks Hans! AD says they scheduled to make only 1000 Moser
Perpetuals. How many of these have been delivered is a big unknown. I've read some took delivery of them in RG, WG and YG and for PT, I guess I have the only piece here so far and I haven't read any other postings? I hope they will be made more available ...
Moser is for sure..
... one of really interesting small watchproducers of the world. I hope they fix the problems and are getting back into business. But it seems like yoy are the only one around here with that knd of Moser Best Hans
Apples are a Moser's Best Friend ;)
Nevertheless, a wrist scan of distant cousins....... No Moser should feel lonely, not esp when 2 Pltn(s) cross paths ........ HAGWE !! This message has been edited by flamenco on 2010-01-08 12:29:40 This message has been edited by flamenco on 2010-01-08 1...
Great Mayu in PT Flemenco!
Indeed, always another Moser out there! I like the way you photograph your Moser! Mehc.
very cold here too
BTW, the photo uploader is running extremely slowly - must be the cold! HAGWE...
Impressive WS, Stitch.
A macro and a WS in the same time. Can't get rid of this watch. Thanks for sharing. Best, nicolas
Sports/Diving watches seem to be the topic of the day
So here we go. It's cold in Germany also. Have a great weekend all! Martin...
Going out tonight
It's my non-WIS husband's birthday and he likes me to wear "that overpriced watch" on special occasions... HAGWE Ginger
Simly beautiful -beautifully simple!
Marvellous watch IMO, ginger! Best regards, anaesdoc
very nice Ginger and very different from your main theme
have PP ever made a high beat? best and happy birthday Eric Graham
Greetings
Eric thanks you. We had a good day. PP makes 28800 bph movements, I believe, but PP, AP, VC, JLC never participated in 36000 bph development in the 60s and 70s.
Thank you
It is gorgeous, but a bit small by today's standards. I have a daughter who likes it, so it will stay in the family - just as PP suggests in its advertising.
I like this photo immensely . . .
. . . as it portrays the strength and elegance of a modest watch. Kudos, Ginger . . . masthead photo for the week. Cordially, Art PS - happy belated birthday, Eric!
Thanks Mech..
wish I had your pt. Moser perp.1. It's proving to be quite elusive even though I have checked the usual sources. cheers F
Lange 1....
An older photo but this one today tomorrow though I will wear something vintage.... HAGWE..... Cheers...
i'm sorry Art, i didnt see your post and added mine to Hans.
can they be adjoined together? is that possible in the world of moderation? best Graham
Don't sweat it, Graham . . .
. . . like they used to say in Chicago, "Vote early and often."
Ah! here is the problem. today is the 2nd Friday of 2010 Art.
I read that and thought it was from last week ;-) Big Pilot Friday here! HAGWE! -- Richard....
He He...Well done, Emilio!
You made me almost regret havoing sold mine! Great combo with this black bezel. Best, Nicolas
