Your new GP Traveller is a fabulous watch dear HS, and the Railmaster... well that...
... one is the one that has been haunting me for a long time but with no luck finding one for my collection. That´s an elusive grial in my wish list, and a great example you have there!
Keep loving and enjoying and have a great week end my friend!
Cheers! Abel.

Let's honor the Beatles this week . . .
. . . in memory of their fabled producer, Sir George Martin . . . . . . who passed away Tuesday. Please share a few of your favorite songs he had a hand in creating, along with your watch du jour . Personally, not a fan of the band he was most closely ass...
I follow you ...
I'm not a Beatles fan but Sir George Martin was remembered by his work with The Beatles and more: Something to remind us from the 60's: The space race and the Gemini. I'm on a blue phase? Cool as any Speedmaster Moon: A great weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Blue, you say? . . .
Harrison? Or Salieri? . . . yes, the Beatles had a 'blue' track. Numbingly awful, sad to say . . .
To Sir George
I am not a big fan of the Fab Four\'s earlier works. Personally, I think they got interesting starting with Rubber Soul. Revolver happens to be my favorite album and I think it\'s way better than the highly overrated Sgt Pepper..wearing my Speedy I got fr...
People have varied opinons about the Beatles musically . . .
. . . but I'll bet almost all of us admire Speedmasters. Art
A bit of an accident!
I was getting ready to clean the Monza and was taken by the lume. Thanks for your kind remarks. Tim
Likewise
not a big fan either, though they do deserve their place in music history. I also think that some of their later works are much better than the early hyped albums. Anyways, here is my Friday watch, the GP Sea Hawk II in Titanium. Wasn't there something ab...
This one, my friend
in 40mm case. I already have a fitting rubber strap in stock, "only" need to find the watch now ...
Actually, it's . . .
. . . Errol Flynn . . . . . . that first comes to mind, but there was also a 'B' film . . . . . . that's an even closer fit! ...
Hmmhh.. Nothing about the Fab 4.. Like Hey Jude & Yesterday.. As per the watch of the day - My new GP Traveller Sapphire dial !
Until tomorrow, I have been enyoying my new GP arrival : Like its "4 dials" changing color & translucency, accentuating different parts, hues & structures, (eg: Big Date, the Geosphere with Latitudes & Longitudes etc).. Traveller Gde Date, Moon, GMT with ...
Fabulous indeed
especially the GP Traveller GMT. And also congrats on the Railmaster, a true classic! CC
Thx for your kind looking, CC and the nice words !.. Yes that Traveller GMT Sapphire gets a lot of wristtime.. :))
Varies its visual imoression and appeal, into 4-5 " duals", as Blomman has called it. Either way, it is a nice game to watch the rays of light play their reflections on the dial & how it differs in appeal. Thx again, dear friend ! Best, hs PS: I will brin...

Thx for your always so kind looking & your nice words !..
Yes, I\'m very happy with the new GP Trav Sapphire, which holds a constant joy to see the changes of translucency and highlights.. The Railmaster from \'58/\'59 was a super lucky NOS find. Thx again & Cheers, Always Best, hs
There was a rough CK2914 that traded . . .
. . . on eBay recently, Abel, and for a more-than-fair price, too. Vintage Rails are hot now . . . the best time to get one was long ago. I wasn't able to compete for the one just mentioned - the bidding was out of my league. Art
Vintage Rails are at the top . . .
. . . of my 'A' list, h, and your latest GP arrival is handsome enough, too. Warm regards, Art
Hello dear Art! Nice idea to honor the Beatles this week end...
... I was a very young lad of around 15 o 16 years old when the "Beatlemania" shocked my Country not much later than in Europe and USA in the mid 1960's. I was interested in many things lads were interested in on those far years, beyond chasing girls of c...
Nice line-up, Abel !.. And well chosen tic-tacs also, although somewhat younger than Beatles-age.. ;))
.. But well understandable that you like those. Guess, my fav pic there is the one with that great sun reflection.. Cheers & HAGWE !
Thank you so much dear HS for viewing and kind commenting! Yes, you are right...
... a bit younger than Beatles age, but recently captured and in the middle of my honeymoon with them! Glad you like the shot of the Expl II with the sun reflection, it was a lucky shot! Have a nice week end my friend, and thanks a lot again!! Abel.
Beatlemania was all the rage when I was . . .
. . . in second grade, Abel. Most of my British (and a few American) classmates wore buttons . . . . . . supporting their favorite of the quartet that school year ('64 - '65). Art ...
Well, I guess I can't say with credibility that I'm not a Beatles fan...
but I actually only have a few albums. Rest in peace, Sir George Martin. Have a great weekend. ...
I've about seven hundred LPs . . .
. . . and maybe six or seven dozen CDs, without a single Beatles album amongst them. That doesn't diminish my admiration for Sir George one whit, though . . . he was a brilliant producer. Cordially, Art
Well, not too many rabid Beatles fans here, are there?
Being approximately the same age as Abel, I did a quick review of my iTunes library and learned I own: 7 Beatles albums with a total of 99 songs taking 4.8 hours to play vs a total of 640 albums of all sorts, with a total of 7404 songs taking 542.4 hours....
Well, I'm a rabid . . .
. . . Stones fan, and pretty much the same . . . . . . when it comes to Grand Seiko. ...
Bullseye
Liked the Beatles, but was always drawn more to the Mods. Not the best segue into a bullseye dial, but I tried! ...
There is nothing bad....
that can be said about the Beatles. I loved their songs in my youth. As far as I can tell they all had have a very good tastes in watches. Very nice thread Dr No. Best Regards Edward ...
It's impossible to convey their influence then . . .
. . . to a person who didn't live thru the experience at the time. Nothing like Beatlemania will ever happen again. Btw, that's quite a composition, contrasting the the stark minimalism of your Sinn against the hypnotically random pattern formed on a melo...
Yes, whatever happened to the true....
gifted artists? Not only in pop music but in other art forms, nowadays many kitschy gold diggers make millions just by hypnotizing the $ giving masses Love your comment Dr No. Best. Edward
1964 The Beatles tops the Billboard list ....
Double up: "I want to hold your hand" and "She loves you"! They even have 9 songs in the top 100 this year! Two years later in 1966, this song comes along.... Rolex ad, 1964 The watch is from III, 1963 - close enough? Rolex watch, III 1963 HAGWE Blomman ...
Veery nice "pink Lady" 1675, my friend !.. And a very cool GMT.. Beautiful patina as well.. :))
- Truly a superb piece. - Bravo !! Cheers & HAGWE, again ! hs PS: - great Mesoscaphe ad, as well.. Sort of Jules Verne - like !
There are Beatles recordings from '63 . . .
. . . and even earlier, but none were chart-toppers. Vintage GMTs, on the other hand, are always thread-stoppers!
Yellow Submarine
I can't help singing that song when I think about my last trip to Catalina Island Cazalea ...
I am the eggman...
they are the eggmen... I am the Manatee... goo goo g'joob! HAGWE! ...
I am an egg man too
Someday when the Apple watch people research the history of that product, our watches will skyrocket in value. Sadly we will be long gone before that day. Cazalea ...
That's the tightest correlation . . .
. . . between watch and Beatles song yet! Thanks for sharing, j. Art
It's 1968, 10:08 AM in the NCO club in Saigon..
..and look what was on sale at the PX! The latest sheet music for the Post-band piano player, and a Zodiac Aerospace GMT. HAGWE --Rick ...
" It's been a hard day's night "...
A small Vintage FF escape during the week end... Best, Nicolas ...
This FF Milspec is a stunning marvel.. A splendid piece in a superb condition.. Am always amazed, when I see it.. ;))
.. on pics, or even better in the real; A definite high-class keeper ! Thx for the shared pleasure ! Cheers & HAGWE, my friend ! hs
great watch!
The car wrist shot is epic, the subtle integration is so to my taste--I am vintage overwhelmed…. Thank you Sir, Tim
Have to say
That I am a hardcore Beatles fan. Have thoroughly enjoyed exploring their music. ...
