Desuetude

I've been away for the Labor Day weekend, so here's the answer... Great guess, emuozz! Here it is, including a wrist shot! Thanks for the compliment! I'll have another one coming up soon! Come on people, post up some of your gens! Lets keep this going!

Tourby, I am Mike Honcho on TZ. The name I registered on timezone is different from the name I usually use on other forums. I posted up the fresh display back pic for that very reason. I can post up tagged pics for any non-believers... @Zenpang...thanks! Also, I'm surprised nobody has taken a stab at the Reverso yet...come on, people!

Ah, ryyannon, this is life, and alas, I have come to accept this fact. Why else would close to half of my income be taken away from me, whereas other people have much less of theirs withheld by the guv'mint? I am used to subsidizing those who aren't as enlightened. I certainly hope they will!

Like this? It would've been alot funnier before you edited your post. I also "took the hint". RWG has been a great resource (Including helping someone on a very popular Gen forum find out that he was sold a fake Navi World...for a gen price, he fortunately got his money back), and it's the least I can do.

Took a hint, and upgraded. Thanks RWG!

Indeed! The sky is also blue! Do you see anything else in that sky? :lol:

Alright, as promised, here we are, my 3rd piece in this little series...have at it! If you guys keep coming up with great answers at this rate, I'm going to start having to yank the solid casebacks off of some of my other gens!

This forum needs a :bowdown: smiley. Awesome stuff! Pug, until that time, I present you with this: . Do you know anything more about the age of the watch in question? I assume it can't be much older than 1920s...that's all I can take a gander at with this one! I really need to get my vintage knowledge up... PS...Pug, if you ever get tired of that overly efficient memory...I'll be glad to take it off your hands

Ryyannon, amazing contribution and effort here, buddy! Thanks for this, I'm so flattered that in spite of my ability to evade whalers' harpoons (I'm telling you, those things can HURT ), people appreciate the little contribution I make to this great place! And yes...keep your eye out in the "Guess the Gen" thread, I'm going to keep that one rolling for a while! That being said, I'm going to start having to pull casebacks off of some of my Gens to keep things rolling at a good pace! Cheers!

That's actually my first guess as well, however, given that I've seen a few VC, IWC and AP movements that bare a similar resemblance, I kept my mouth shut. Corgi, is there any credence to Pugwash's assertion?

We have ourselves a winner! Here are some more scans; this is definitely one of my most frequently worn pieces. Here are shots from the day I first opened the package from the AD... This one was for...size comparison. Yeah, we'll go with that explanation I'll put up another one tomorrow...Corgi's is really testing my knowledge! People, get to posting your Gen backs too, so we can guess the gen!

Sorry, it is not; Bazz already correctly identified the maker of the watch and it's base movement, I was simply seeing if anyone out there wanted to take a gander as to exactly what model it is. See the hints I gave above for some extra help

Yes, no, and yes; good start though! It is a branded piece, production piece (well, as production as Benzinger can get), so I'm not putting up a one-off for people to take stabs at. The 6498 has been modified in more ways than meets the eye (this should be a decent clue here). Hopefully this should help everyone seal this one off! Corgi, that's nice, gonna have to ponder that one...

Alright everyone...time to get your guess on again! This one probably won't be terribly difficult for people to guess, but it's another one of my favs. I took a really quick shot of it without the help of my amateur photographer buddy, so please excuse the quality! Anyway, without further ado, here's the pic! Good luck!

Awesome guesses, vbarrett and FasTTaP, this is my VC Patrimony Power Reserve! Without further ado, here she is! I've got it on right now, actually. This is one that I really never see leaving the collection, since I never really see it leaving style's good graces! I'll have another one of mine up in a little while. The next one is probably going to be slightly easier to guess, but it's a fun one!

Hot on the trail of this one, care to get a bit more specific? There are cues in those pics that indicate exactly what it is...

Not sure if this game has already been played, but in the event it hasn't, or in the event it hasn't been done in a while, I figured it would be fun to play this one. The title is pretty self-explanatory...take a pic of the back of one of your Gens, post said pic, and everyone should make a guess as to what said watch is! Everyone should feel welcome to throw in their own pics of Gens for guessing, so please put yours up too! I will only throw up one gen for guessing at a time, IE-when the posted Gen has been guessed, I'll post up another one in my collection. I'll also offer hints if needed. Now...let the guessing begin! Here's my 1st contribution, my VC "????????????????": Good luck, everyone, and post up your gens for guessing too!

After realizing what I was looking at, I cringed...
