ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Been a while since I got the camera out; grabbed a few shots before putting these away in the bank vault and thought I'd post, no rhyme, no reason... 5
ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 A couple of snaps of a recent acquisition...

dbane883 Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 We are not worthy... thank you for this small glimpse from the Patekosphere.... I'm feeling a touch faint 1
ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 The PPs are definitely my faves that I've built... Perhaps ever. They are much, much more difficult than anything else I've put together and they make me smile everytime I look at them.But one cannot go wrong with a nice vintage Rolex either! The Big Crown is one that feels like it is a constant work in progress and the WM9 16622 may just stay stock as a daily wearer.
droptopman Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Wow! Those PP's are unbelievable. 6200 as well. Sent from my droptop using telepathy ️
lhooq Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 I hope this means you've resumed regularly posting, ubi. Your presence has been missed!
ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 Thank you gents; really appreciate the warm reception Indeed... Been a long time since I've stepped foot in the door and it's comforting to see a lot of the familiar, friendly faces that really makes this place so great! I also see a lot of new members participating and that is also fantastic to see! Anytime we can grow the RWG family with good people, that's a good day!I will try to be a little more frequent, but sadly, I am afraid I don't have much to offer these days in terms of builds. The Pateks were the last major projects I had going on; anything moving forward will really only involve small updates and revisions here and there where possible.Maybe I need to start on a new adventure?
dieselpower Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Great to see more of your work R. Also fantastic to see you chime in again. Please don't be a stranger, your input, guidance and works are an inspiration and you may not realise the influence you have is far greater than can easily be expressed. All power to you, from a long standing member to whom you showed great generosity when I was a raw, green, newbie many years ago
ubiquitous Posted May 19, 2015 Author Report Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks MB- Really kind of you to say!Heh... You wouldn't believe how much about watches I've forgotten! Maybe even more than I ever knew to begin with
gran Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks MB- Really kind of you to say! Heh... You wouldn't believe how much about watches I've forgotten! Maybe even more than I ever knew to begin with I know the feeling...."what I do not know I do not think I know"
Nanuq Posted May 19, 2015 Report Posted May 19, 2015 Hoooooooooly smokes. I feel faint! Gorgeous stuff, old friend. Bank vault? You don't need no stinking bank vault. Send 'em here, there's no place safer.
martijnp Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 I always enjoy your pictures Ubi, your watch collection is beautiful
ubiquitous Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Posted May 20, 2015 Thank you gents; really appreciate the kind comments!
ubiquitous Posted May 20, 2015 Author Report Posted May 20, 2015 Maybe the content of these images would qualify as art? 1
cc33 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Nice to see you back, I was picturing you tucked away somewhere hard at work on some fantastic old watch project! The ones you have are phenomenal, I missed looking at them a lot. Your work on Patek's always inspired me to go that extra mile, I'm not even close to being at that level yet but im working on it
gran Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Maybe the content of these images would qualify as art? Sure is art..bordering to horological porn
dieselpower Posted May 20, 2015 Report Posted May 20, 2015 Sure is art..bordering to horological porn Well I know I've got a semi..... ahem
danielv2000 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Posted May 26, 2015 Great to hear from you. That Ivan dial is one of my favorites.
