A bit early, but the 9/26 WS starts now! - Travels and Watches
By: KIH : September 24th, 2015-05:07
I am still in bad jet lag so I plan to go to bed early today... But WS must start and here are my a bit old travel scene with watch. A few months ago, mother, sister and I went to Kanazawa on the newest bullet train which does not shake left and right at ...
Thank you for your kind words Nicolas.....

Erie is one of five great lakes belonging to both USA and Canada , there is a lot to be said about their beauty, I had the opportunity to see all of them. Believe me the are long lasting memories Edward
Thank you Ken....
By: watercolors : September 25th, 2015-01:01
Visiting this vast lake is pretty much like standing at the edge of the ocean, except that the waves are gentler and the water is not salty at all With Sinn on your arm what else a man can long? Warm Regards Edward
Thank you KMII for your kind words....
By: watercolors : September 25th, 2015-01:05
the strap is a replacement one, the first one lasted about three years. Sinn is blending nicely and would look good even with a dress shirt Best Edward
Seems plausible
By: KMII : September 25th, 2015-12:16
It is certainly discreet enough!
When I travel, I try to be "under the radar"...
By: nilomis : September 24th, 2015-06:59
Here is a sample set: For more formal meetings, nothing beats a simple Reverso: For sportive events, a Bullhead fits nice: Not a GMT watch but it plays nice because the 9300 movement (and the 8500) allows the hour to jump back and forth. For multiple time...
Wonderful photography Nilo!... Such a feast...
By: Subexplorer : September 24th, 2015-08:58
... for our eyes! That is a watch for each occassion! Well chosen! Love the watches, and of course these awesome pictures! Have a nice week end! Very cordially, Abel.
What great pics!
By: KMII : September 24th, 2015-22:56
While hard to choose a favorite, I guess the Bullhead just inches ahead for me Just seems to transport the period cool so well into current times.
Bali
By: MTF : September 25th, 2015-02:52
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, or Pura Bratan, is a major Hindu (Shiva) and water temple on Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. Regards, MTF
Never seen the ANA Seiko before
By: KMII : September 24th, 2015-22:59
There goes one more thing on the wish list. Was it pilot issue only or also available for purchase regularly? How does the Mondaine work for you?
I'm wondering . . .
By: Dr No : September 26th, 2015-11:37
. . . about the ale, Melvyn. What would be its nearest comparison? On my way to an Irish pub shortly ;-) . . .
Uwa?

How do you rate it?

Thank you!...
By: Subexplorer : September 26th, 2015-19:42
Thank you KMII! Yes, As a matter of fact that picture was taken just a few hours after taking delivery of my watch at the Place Vendome Boutique! This timepiece is full of nice memories!
Ouch, what a shot!
By: amanico : September 24th, 2015-09:42
Ok, I am a bit biased when it comes to this watch... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Superb shot! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : September 24th, 2015-13:33
A perfect travel companion! HAGWE Blomman
J: Absolutely adore this timepiece !.. :))
By: hs111 : September 25th, 2015-22:56
Never reluctant or even concerned, having RG on your wrist, as a blingy "signal" or scratching it ? Of course, for more civilized trips and encounters a splendid choice ! Bon voyages, chér ami ! Cheers & HAGWE ! hs
Business Travel can be boring at times
By: crown comfort : September 24th, 2015-09:52
Does that happen to you as well? Travelling on business: waiting in airport lounges, attending boring meetings, nights in a hotel room? So what could be a better travel companion than a watch that not only tells time but also allows for a little game to p...
Unexpected!
By: KIH : September 25th, 2015-02:28
Gee.... never thought of travel watches in that way. Great mind you have! Ken

There are no circumstances . . .

Maple Ale? A must try..
By: KC74 : September 27th, 2015-01:33
Dark beer is awesome. Yours with a tinge of maple. Cheers to that. maple syrup my favourite from the days when I was studying in Canada..
Thx Ken, can be captured

Commuting watches
By: jml_watches : September 24th, 2015-14:13
Hi Over the last few months I've posted a few shots of my watches while I've been on the way to work - here are a few Reflections on a Memovox Sunny Master Moon Urushi Ring a few bells? Blurry Monday Morning Seiko Hope you all have good companions for you...
Me too!
By: KMII : September 25th, 2015-11:18
Although the rest are splendidly captured, too!

OK, here we go!
By: KMII : September 24th, 2015-14:46
These days travel is very often by car, so the appropriate equipment (spare steering wheel, for instance) is necessary Here enroute to Germany. Here with the headlights to dipped beam, so to speak An important part of every journey is returning back home....
Also Chopard - could not resist
By: KMII : September 24th, 2015-22:23
And they go well with the watch Thanks for the kind words and btw. the final arrival that you were so curious to see is here (HoMe forum)
Thank you so much!

And with the new strap the GS will be all the better
Nice, Chrono One!
By: AlexSunrise : September 25th, 2015-09:02
I have a soft spot for this one, KMII. Have a great weekend, Alex
So do I ;)
By: KMII : September 25th, 2015-11:09
As said, recommended by many here, and I choice I am happy with every day. So understated and versatile, both.
Very nice chrono!

German stealth?
By: KMII : September 25th, 2015-11:22
I guess few would recognize it (apart from a generation of East Germans, as it is a pretty close to the GUB original from the 1960s).
Never encountered anyone who recognized my Sixties . . .
By: Dr No : September 26th, 2015-21:35
. . . outside our circles, but once, I received a compliment from a young lady who was smitten. She wanted to know all about it! Turned out she was married, and for a brief moment considered getting one for her husband.
For a second I thought the story was going elsewhere ;)
By: KMII : September 26th, 2015-22:55
I.e. That being married is a condition, not an impediment The watch may be more recognizable in Germany, though. Many in our company for instance dream of GO and know all about it but then for cost reasons or in order not to rock the boat (in the vein my ...
