This Friday, the theme is open: Your favourite Friendly Watch, which means your trustful companion, the one you bring with you everywhere, which gives you pleasure, which is useful, well, you got the idea.
For me, this Friday, it will not be the most expensive, nor the rarest nor the most exclusive. It will just be one Rolex, no gilt no chapter ring, but with a special matte dial which will not oblige you to sell your house: The 1675 Mini Dial.
I always have a Vintage Rolex GMT when I travel, always.
So, this one is linked to trips, escapes, freedom, fun, pleasure.
Here it is:
It is up to you, guys, to show the friendly side of what's on your wrist!
Have A Superb Week End.

It might be a simple 3-hand watch with date, but the attention to the details of case design, lugs, colour accents, hands and dial mean that you could stare at this for hours. Beautiful.
Enjoy!

... the watch for all occasions. Office, home, space exploration and walks in the forrest. I still marvel at the design, comfort and functionality when I have mine on. It is also one of a handful of watches that should be part of everyone's collection, at least once.
I like the evocative photo too - we don't need to see the watch itself to feel the emotion it induces.
Thanks!

Hi Nicolas. This is not an old friend but a very good
friend and a great travel companion. It also seems to get a great deal of attention from the ladies!
Thank you for a friendly Friday Scan and I hope it brings many smiles.
Best to you all,
Tim

Tank you gentlemen. I have been hypnotized by
its charms many times and catch new angles of excitement when the light is right.
Really enjoyed the thread this week,
Best,

My go-to friend
It joined me under the happiest of circumstances and reminds me of a time with much less responsibility; a watch I wear to the office just as much while trekking through the forest in the countryside. As Nicolas said, not the most expensive nor the most complicated; but timeless and fun.
Good enough to be worn on the moon; good enough for me 
Best regards,
Colton

Thank you for your words Andrew
I agree the Speedy Pro is one of those watches that everyone should experience at one point or another. It carries with it a sense of purity and comfort, and has an instantly recognizable look.
Thank you for the kind words, and have a great weekend!

A new friend every week but never a favorite.
You can't chose a favorite would not be fair.

Sicura four crowns are better than two
Basically the two crowns at 8 and 10 control the inner rings independently.
The crown at 2 with the red ring resets the minute hand to 12 and the timing starts. It measure the time continuously in minutes.
Crown at 4 set and winds the watch.

Thank you for the explanation, Bill!
Hm, sounds a bit too complicated for me...
I better stick to two or three crown watches...!

I think I can see you smiling...
...in the reflection off the lug. ;-)
I am so delighted that you have joined the club. I know how long you hunted this one and how much you wanted it. Now we have to arrange a mini-GTG to reunite our brothers from the Paris Boutique.
Enjoy it, Joe!
