I don't have a clue ... wood
Art,
Nice theme and following the PuristSPro school: I didn't had a clue of what is "persimmon" until I Google the name!
Here this name is "dióspiro" from the Greek dióspuron (food of Zeus) or, more common, "caqui", from the Japanese kaki".
Back to watches, here is my "I don't know" wood holding my X-33 Gen 1 and my Omega Split Seconds.
(Yes, they are on the same second, for sure)
And, since Nicolas is away, my wrist shot of today is ... Quartz!
A wonderful weekend to all,
Nilo

I still have an eye on you, my friend. :)

Thanks but ...
I'm hanging extra garlic on all entrances here, just in case.

That log, Nilo, came from . . .
. . . a thirty-plus year old tree recently felled at Uncle Jake's farm. It's going to my cue maker, who will fashion a wrap of persimmon wood . . .

Persimmon is not only a beautiful hardwood . . .
. . . but also useful. Gold club wood heads were commonly made of persimmon, way back when.
Thank you for the comparison shot . . .
. . . of the X-33 and original Speedy split. They really are quite alike, case-wise . . .
Wrap of persimmon wood . .

My cue maker will be getting the logs . . .
. . . cut from the oldest persimmon tree on Uncle Jake's farm later this weekend, which will then have to be cured for at least a year before he can make use of them.

If the wood turns out to be good enough to use, start planning a trip to So Cal for either late 2013 or 2014. There will be an order for two purpleheart sticks with persimmon wraps.

How could there be . . .
. . . a more fluid blend between background and strap than this? Nicely done, Nicolas.
Your Sonata later in the session, perhaps?
Well, let's say that I will post the Sonata next week.
I take the road in 5 hours, and have to drive 1400 Kilometers tomorrow...
I doubt I will have the time to post a pic of the Sonata tomorrow...
All the best, Don Arturo.
Nicovlad, almost in his coffin.
You travel a long way for those roof tiles, Nico ...
... but I can tell you they are worth it!
I guess you could bring a tile back home to use as a prop, but it's hard to import the beautiful summer light.
Safe travels.
Andrew
Awesome
The combination with this strap is simply awesome! Hope to see in metal one day, Nicolas.

Hope you are well.

Thanks Nicolas, pic taken in the forestry at the top of the mountain in wales so not recent, but a nice one.

Thanks Thomas, this was part of the forestry that only sees sunlight for a few hours a day. The pic was taken mid afternoon and it still has dewdrops on it.
There are some things about wales i miss.

This Beast in a Nice Wooden Case!
Of course I am kidding )

Grand Seiko for busy day. Gotta be spot on time! And a cork board for background in keeping to a cellulose thema
I'd no idea there was a salmon dial option . . .
. . . for the Christof Colomb. Thanks for sharing this image, flamenco.
Noteworthy that both the Zenith and your Grand Seiko beat at a resonant frequency of 5 Hz. Are you partial to high-beats, like Ginger?
Enlightened,
