Nanuq Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I've worn this one for every significant event for almost 30 years, so Mister Bond will fill the bill again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martijnp Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I hope my new (rep) Breitling arrives before Christmas.. Otherwise it would be this one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiis Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I loooooove this one!!!! Where did you get yours? This is a 1976 Speedy Pro (861 movt) hosting a 35th Anniversary dial and hands. B4 I had done the same mod with a different Panda dial from Ofrei's - but lost my mind and sold it. This is a replacement. Slightly different but mostly the same. I call it my Mickey Mouse watch given the combined shape of the black subs. Just got her back a few days ago. New year, "new" watch... I'm happy with that. Now just looking forward to 7 days off with my wife and the pooch. Bwell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marky1012 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I might well be wearing one on each wrist as I am getting two from my lovely wife for Christmas. (1 Ploprof white and 1 B&R BR01-92) I just need to tell her that this is what she has bought me....................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Im thinking Zixen... Thor's Own Watch. That's a good choice when the Akkevit is flowing and the meatballs are flying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asciwhite Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Thor's Own Watch. That's a good choice when the Akkevit is flowing and the meatballs are flying. Yeah we have "pinnekjøtt" on christmas (Sheeps ribs) and turkey, pork ribs, Waldorf salad, akevitt, beer, rosenkål, potatoes and for dessert "multekrem" No meatballs though.. For me its gonna be turkey with waldorf salad, and I can only look at all the other good stuff, because my insides are killing me... (Been a problem the last 2 years, lost 100 pounds in that time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Yum! We will have "Scotch eggs" which is sausage wrapped around boiled eggs, and coffee and cinnamon rolls. This year we are keeping it low key, unplugging the phone and enjoying family. We'll ski in the woods in the afternoon and come home to a nice fire. I hope your insides aren't too painful. Better get that checked out, my friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtiis Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 i have the "same" one.....one of my first reps....and SO FULL of flaws, it's almost funny Since then i'm looking for a good version, but i never have the funds, and it's hard to find! CAREFUL, it hurts your eyes! well, i won't wear this for christmas eve for sure Hang in there - good and sometimes (rarely) cheaply priced ones show up. This one was a steal. First the TZ seller (nice guy) had it up for 1650 - then just wanted to bail and listed it for 1250 (this on a 1479 bracelet that was in good shape). It had a nice size ding on the side toward the back (near 8 o'clock) but I thought my watchsmith could do something with it. I offered 1200 gift and she was mine. Then, he had a 1450 bracelet (the grail!) he was selling for $650. I bought that and got a happy $375 for the 1479. So, 1200 + 650 - 375 puts me in this for only 1475 plus casework fixes and the dial/hands. Still not cheap but the $1475 at base really had me singin'. I ended up putting the 1450 on the other Speedy. I think the black strap pulls out the subs nicely on this one. One will come along for you I'm sure. In the meantime, maybe snag a 35th Anniversary dial from watchco on the bay (while they last as Ofrei don't carry them)... and the hands from Ofrei as... they do have these. When your watch sails in... you'll be set. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 Perhaps blasphemy around here but I think my wrist will go commando for Christmas day I am working major hours over the holiday season (only xmas day off) so as few reminders of the time passing while I am with my kids is best.

TeeJay Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 When I saw this thread title, I wondered if it was going to be one of those "How do you decide what to wear..." challenges I would have said that I'll be wearing my customised GMT II, or maybe my DJ, but, Christmas aside, tomorrow is Tudor Tuesday, so I'll be going with this: Since I took this pic, in mid-October, one of my best friends tattooed the design on my left forearm (I was letting him practice his tattooing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
