LLD on Nato PS: Graham, thanks for the hookup with this wonderful strap. I love it alot Best Tyler...  

new strap gives it vintage feel. best, Horo

Best, Horo

.... i remember you was putting another Nato strap for your LLD.. then i wen to look for similar one for my LLD too. now you got another nicer one... can't catch up from you :-( by the way, this strap also looks very nice for your LLD on your wrist. well ... 

it should become the 'purists' nato strap of choice. the black looks good on the LLD G

Gotta go get me some brown ones Best Tyler

i dont like the buckle and extra strapping on the side so i've devised a way to wear it that cures the problem. hard to explain, but effectively you dont put the strap through the spare bit with the loop on, you turn that back on itself so it next to the ... 

just the plain old steel daytona...  

Best, Horo

Nice picture. You have encouraged me to get out my only white-dialed watch, a Mark XV from IWC, and wear it with crisp white shirt and jeans this weekend. Thanks! Andrew

of a static shot I promised to send to Nicolas, from our time at SIHH. A not often seen Le Coultre with the Memovox alarm. This watch has been repaired several times, still running strong. I actually do not know the date of manufacture, a real work horse....  

We have discussed Roman numbers over at JLC Forum this week. Please feel free to join in with yours! BTW, one I would love to add to my watch box… HAGWE Blomman

very sweet my friend.

That piece is a real winner -- must be great fun to wear, especially when that alarm goes off... Best, Gary G

when your iPhone got wet! Hope you are warm and Happy this weekend. Best, Tim

thanks for sharing. stefan

long ago. A true keeper. Best, Tim

i love to take random pics of the watches i am wearing whilst having a cuppa. gives me time to reflect on time pieces new and old worn that day, and its relevance to my current collection, and refreshes my memory on its acquisition and for me to once agai...  

Congratulation. If you swap the Antigua with the Classics. You have 2 classics. A watch and a kopi. Best Tyler

Perhaps not, but a VH Antiqua perched precariously across a mutton curry is rather frightening! Another superb watch. On my list since 2004, although I'm not sure I would actually wear it regularly and my taste has shifted away from exotica and 'statement... 

I swear there is still a whiff of coffee whenever I wear it. Best, Horo

I'm green with envy... Best, Gary G

Best, Horo

I would not get it near a cup of hot fluid - good for you! Best Andreas

With a watch like this, I think I better heed your advice! Best, Horo

Have a great weekend. Best, Horo

it has a "sweet girl next door" feel to it. let me know if you are keen,maybe do a group purchase? best, Horo

The novelties?! I wish they would come my way to show them… I just have to wait until JLC starts to ship them. The TT 1931 looks great on you! Your next Reverso? HAGWE Blomman

... particularly the size and proportions. Have JLC got it right for the 'modern' world? Andrew This message has been edited by AndrewD on 2011-02-18 02:33:50

A long love story with this Sonata: Best, Nicolas....  

Stunning, my friend! HAGWE Blomman

The most original being this one. Best, Nicolas.

No message body

Do you use it to wake you up in the morning? I have been doing it with my MMI Best Tyler

And I take it each time I go for holidays too. A delicious watch, which is a friendly companion when you travel with. Best, Nicolas.

I have to ask ... does the GMT function also change the count down on the alarm?

No message body

Looks great and shows off my other favorite horological finish: blued hands. And what hands they are on the Sonata! Lovely. Andrew

Can you imagine? 7 years of common life, in 4 months! Looks like it is a keeper. Thanks, Andrew. Nicolas.

First time I've seen this watch. Some wonderful looking complictaions there. HAGWE

It sounds like a minute repeater and offers a big date ( which can be set forward and backward ), a GMT, an Alarm on 24 hours, and the alarm countdown... A crazy watch, indeed. Best, And thanks. Nicolas;

I assume that the King has two queens... the Memo and the Sonata.... lol cheers

a diva at the opera: exceptional voice, but the appearance is (quite often) not everybodys taste If I would be an Ultra-HNWI, I would buy it immediately - just because of the pleasure of listening

The watch ( as the Diva ) has a too strong personality? Best, Nicolas.

and crisp photo! Nice! Andreas

... have not had chance to hear what sounds of this watch produce... but from the dial, am sure it must be top quality!!! stefan

Have been talking a lot about blue stuff lately… Felt so guilty for my old beater that I decided to dress her up in blue! BTW, anybody recognize the blue ball? HAGWE Blomman...

Curious little thing. I have a hard time believing it will work. Bought a metal case opener instead. Does it have lifespan? Best Tyler

But you have to be very careful, if any dirt on the ball – it might scratch the case back… HAGWE Blomman

The straps are quite eye catching too. And you chose this over the DSA!! Btw, a comment you made just struck me....you chose this watch on thurs evening, for Friday wearing? That demonstrates careful wardrobe planning. I am rather haphazard....unless ther...

A lot of fun to mix and match! Thank you! Best Blomman

This combo I like very much. Lovely watch! Regards Anders

I have become a horological boring old f..t. I am more than happy to wear the 5513 in most situations. Even my kids recognise it as 'dad's watch' which I really like. It gives it some meaning and life and it's not just part of a big collection. Anyway, I ...

Still runs within COSC spec....though the watch is not rated as one....  

On my wrist this week it is within 4 seconds of where I set it last Friday. That's a particularly good performance, although it's never out by more than 10-15 seconds in a week. Superb for a 44 year old mechanism. A

But I am waiting for something special from my watch maker!!!! Julian...

"something special", because it belongs to you. The shown Rolex isn´t bad either, so at least we can wait

... and probably looks great even when it's rusty! A

I haven't worn my 1675 for sometime now, you have given me impetus to wear it tonight! Best, Horo

In fact I am now starting to look for one myself - and I used to dislike Rolex! HAGWE Andreas

We love to see your sexy plexi, Andrew! HAGWE Blomman

has a wonderful ring to it. I would wear it even more.

... their mum. So they thinks it's REALLY old. LOL Hopefully Son #1 will cherish it for the memories it contains one day. The F.P.Journe Octa RdM was 'born' the same year as Son #2, and he seems to have an affinity for that piece. So there's the horologic... 

... like your pic... it displays the powerful side of this superb Rolex vintage. my dream watch also, will get it one day! stefan

The best horological decision I ever made. It just took me too long to make it. Andrew

Next week. I'll have a chance to see the SIHH novelties in metal. Can wait My guess this will be the purchase of 2011? Best Tyler

.. and tell me what do you think all these novelties. stefan

While I'm gonnaa be wearing these two... Yes two watches! HAGWE Sam...

Best, Horo

When did you get the 232 ?????!! looking GOOD Sam.

But do you really wear them in the same wrist?! HAGWE Blomman

... if i were you, i also have the same difficulty in choosing which one to wear... yes, the perfect solution is to wear both on your wrist...LOL stefan

Markers change from black (day) to green (nite) at 6 and back again 12 hours later. Similar to the 24 hour Airflight where the hours jump from 1-12 to 13-24 at 1pm. But I really love the clean dial and shape of the markers. The display is just a bonus. HA...  

Hi Ginger, I had no idea, a mechanical watch was equipped with this special feature. I guess it is no horological marvel like minute repetition or a perpetual calendar, but you first must have the inspiration for this "complication". Would you mind postin... 

special detail. Nice, vey nice

... used by Gruen and Minerva. It always catches my eye. Nice example with an interesting display 'complication'. Thanks Ginger, you always find something special for us. Andrew

With the coolest stuff! It look great! Would you care to share a nite pic? HAGWE Blomman

Luminescence is long faded, I am afraid. Only green remains....  

And I really like the design of the watch – the drop shaped indexes and sharp hands go very well together! Thank you for the pic, Ginger! Best Blomman

I just love your eclectic collection of vintage watches Ginger. Best Drew

... have not seen this before.. very special look. thanks for sharing, Ginger! stefan

i notice yours is in steel when most i see are gold filled like mine. steel is much cleaner. best G

50 Fathoms...  

and a great watch

Basically, the composition evolved on its own when one of the lobsters decided to make a break for it.

Great clawshot. Best Andreas

I can't tell you the last time I actually ate a lobster. Seafood is sort of my business, so I have access to great 'props.'

Afraid it will nip your good looking FF..? HAGWE Blomman

he is safe

.

... staff said enamel reverso will be coming later, likely April... in fact, others like new Master Control series also have not appeared at this preview yet. regarding this Reverso TT 1931.... yes, it is to die for... no objection at all! stefan

I love this watch but hardly ever wear it. I've had it on for 3 days and think it might make it through the weekend. Nothing extraordinary about the individual details, it's the sum that makes it stand out (for me & Art, if I recall correctly) HAGWE Cazal...  

Didn't realize was the shadow of the flower against the dial. Best, Horo

Personally I would prefer it with a leather strap, but you cannot argue about taste, can you? Kind regards, anaesdoc

changing straps is such a nuisance, so ......  

Congrats on this versatile GS selection, cazalea! anaesdoc

This photo I find beautiful! This weeks WS-winner?! HAGWE Blomman...  

... very nice modern classic, Cazalea... i like the rice bracelet too. is it come with the watch from the beginning? stefan

These are SBGW001 on left, on black croc, the SBGW003 in the middle on brown pebbled strap, and SBGW005 on bracelet. There's also a gold one on bracelet SBGW007 (I don't have) the gold watch this photo by my pal Armin shows more of the SBGW005 bracelet. L...  

many thanks for the additional pics. stefan

Exciting with the shadow of the third picture. Good sharpness is there, too. Congratulations Regards Anders

looks amazing and the socks on the second pictures are super cool

I have a nice collection of crazy socks! Matt

Jokes aside, I love the first pic. And like you, I am having a boring friday....marked by organisational inertia and politics. Yours jokingly, Horo

lets have a toast to inertia and politics!!! Thanksfully we can have fun amongst ourselves!!! best! Matt

I am wrapping up work now as I type this. I have been on the forum effectively the whole day because of inertia and politics....so there is some good after all. Cheers, Horo

As always some excellent photography.

Hi Oliver, your watch could somehow allude to "Live and let die", but does a skull and some bones make a watch a Bond watch? Kind regards, anaesdoc

Bond, when the skull looks good and makes you smile Bond - at least it is from the Swatch 007 Villain Collection, which should be based on the 25 best villains in the Bond films. Once more, who cares about Bond and merchandising ...

anaesdoc

your favourite villain? Cheers

but I haven´t seen them all

is that 'lovely" lady from Russia with Love... Cheers

Did he buy the whole 007 set or individual pieces. Best, Horo

and has no idea that I bought that watch, but he loves skulls because pirates are cool

He prob is thinking more in terms of Pirates of the Carribean then 007. May he grow up and take after your hobby. Best, Horo

I assume that he will also get the skull... HAGWE Cheers

... the tiny continuous seconds hand on this watch. And I like it! It makes perfect sense when you have access to the chronograph functions. All you need is for a little hand to show you the watch is under power. Nice. Andrew Ps. And of course beautifully... 

Gives it a very vintage look! HAGWE Blomman

I was on to give some rest to my U.N Sonata for this one, exactly the same one! Sterile? Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Not sterile. When I bought this one no one really knew about the sterile versions. It matches my Type 2 which is also 1973. Real heavy metal watches.

Real cool and bestial watches, which give a lot of pleasure when on the wrist, indeed! Best, Nicolas

But, no – a lot of snow and cold! But your watch makes me feel much warmer! HAGWE Blomman

Obviously are into rectangular watches… When will we see a Reverso on your wrist?! HAGWE Blomman

. . . after the new Zenith ,and a vintage IWC and Omega, there's nothing left in the till for 2011 :-( . . .

I must have missed that one, or you still haven’t posted that one..? Love vintage IWC’s – I dream one day to find the original Aquatimer… Yes, I know the feeling – the two DSA will break my budget form 2011… But I hope one day see a Reverso on your wrist!... 

. . . hopefully sometime soon, after it's obligatory visit to the watchmaker for service. It's a cal 88 with a cream dial and in very good overall condition.
