... as it adds some solidity to the whole watch, without overpowering it. Great addition.
And is the underside of the seconds hand polished?

... following the announcement of Nic Hayek's death, June 28 last year. I hope it's a fitting tribute to a powerful man who contributed so much to the industry.

Although the hardest thing was taking the photo. They slip and slide all over your wrist. I don't know how Mr Hayek managed to do this all the time.

You certainly are a big Habring fan. I remember you did some customization to them.

Great wrist shot. But I will expect to see the rears next time as well!

I like the new bracelet, Art ..

Actually, yes! All three hands . . .
. . . were corroded when Dad handed the Longines over, so I had them polished and rhodium plated when the movement was serviced.
Funny thing - it's been in my possession for seven years, and it wasn't until just now that I noticed the reflective property of the silver ring.
"You learn something new every day."
Lovely photos, Art!
I have always liked the Conquest.
Does this one say anything about anti-magnetic on the back..?

Here's an image of the back . . .
. . . when it was on a strap, blomman . . .
. . . and the markings read "Longines Automatic - Waterproof".

Thank you for the info!
I have seen Conquest ads that say anti-magnetic.
But never anything on the watch…

More than one on the same wrist ...
... I found difficult and uncomfortable. Not to mention the anxiety of scratching up the cases (even keeping like-metals with like).
But I am quite happy wearing a watch on each wrist, and I like the balance of these two, even though they are very different watches. Yellow patina with yellow dial ...

A Habring Trio? Reminds me . . .
. . . of this classic!
Boy, do I have a vivid imagination, or what?

Ernie Kovacs <-- Richard & Marie Habring???
Vivid imagination? H'mm..... I sure hope it's not a comment on the watches!
No, of course not, Seth! The sight of . . .
. . . three rare Habrings brought to mind first the Kingston, and then Nairobi, Trios, both happy memories from childhood. I couldn't find a video of "Three Jolly Coachmen", so my imagination wandered to "Solfeggio".
In hindsight, I'll grant that was pretty lame. No slight intended to the Habrings, whom I've had the pleasure of meeting once a few years ago, or their watches.
Chastened,
Art
Here you go Art! This is closer and more like it, I'd reckon. (And I do like Ernie....)
Ok, it isn't the original three but it's certainly closer and in the spirit of things. This message has been edited by SethRL on 2011-10-14 22:57:12
