ubiquitous Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I call it like I see it! And that's quite the amazing line up! Think you need a 6263 or 6265 to round it all out though... At least from the Rolex side of things... Land, sea and air... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I had a couple of DW Daytonas and gave them away, but maybe this one will cover the "land" side of the puzzle? I'm not sure the vintage, but it's a Gigandet pre-Breitling AOPA triple date chrono. It was given to me by my closest friend, who received it from his uncle after decades of service as a pilot. Sadly, my friend passed away this last weekend, so the joy of wearing it carries a twinge of loss these next few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valerian Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Whoa, some watches here! I'm very honoured to be called to show my top five pieces here but it also makes me very nervous. My photo skills are terrible and my watch collection is still very humble. But I will try to get some help and make a few good pix this weekend, promised! On with the show, then! Val.

(that sound Freudian) Imagine if hotel security was called up to this room.. That would have been the koln GTG,, (was away in canada for that one) I am not sure if there is a photo any where of the first brussels GTG but Stephanes table was groaning under the weight of watches,and his bar was groaning under the weight of alcohol, I was in emergency mode making sure the bar did not collapse by drinking its contents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tech Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Sorry I am late to the party... Here are my favorites, all of them are custom built by my own hands. First up is my "Stealth PAM 212" After a lot of discussion, I decided to paint the subdial and center seconds hand, so this was the end state... Ziggy, That 212 Stealth is brilliant. I love the blue hands and painted dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I'd like to see Pugwash's top 5!!! ... and so you shall! I will only put reps in my 5. The first has to be my Ziggified, gen-dialled IWC GST. I don't wear it much, but I feel happier knowing it's in my drawer for when I need it. Click to embiggen Next is my UPO. It's got gen tube, crown, hands and aftermarket AR. Click to embiggen Third on my list is an MBW 1665. I forget what parts are gen, but it's been taken apart lots. Click to embiggen Fourth is a Breitling. Just added AR on this one. Click to embiggen The last watch on my list is tricky. It was nearly a 3717 or a GMT-Master, but I decided not to repeat manufacturers and went for a Radiomir. Again with the AR. Click to embiggen ... and for a bonus, here's a non-rep that would be near the top. Click to embiggen Has Bazz posted his yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I was looking for the pic of your IWC GST Pug! Thanks for posting it up! The Breit looks great without it's crystal too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
