hiker01 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 @HikeUSA: Best photos so far in this early Wristcheck!
hambone Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Merry Christmas to all! @ POTR, Sorry dude that looks like a girls watch.
POTR Posted December 24, 2007 Report Posted December 24, 2007 Antique Elgin in gold with seconds @ 6 on gold chain link... Merry Christmas all. EDIT: What's wrong Hammie, never seen a real watch before?
Victoria Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 EDIT: What's wrong Hammie, never seen a real watch before? Just for that, I changed the rating to Gold Star from Zing. If ever there was a lovely watch shown on this Wristcheck, it was the Elgin. Merry Christmas, POTR!!
andreww Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Christmas is a sentimental time, so I'll be wearing the watch that means the most to me. This is the one that started it all for me, introduced me to new friends and has never ceased to fascinate me with its beautiful complexity. Cheers to all my friends, Neil, Pug, By-Tor, Admin, Ken, Two-Tone, Zig, Stephane, etc, etc. You guys have all made my year happier, and certainly more interesting. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones, and may the new year bring you all health and happiness.
POTR Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 Danke Vic, Maybe Hammie thinks it's a bit small? Or feminine? I don't know... but just to clear up any possible confusion for the youngsters out there... the "standard Man's watch" has not always been 50mm+. Although it has been before, usually when carried in a pocket. My own opinions on why some watches are way overpriced and oversized for what they are, would be better left alone to avoid painting true watch lovers (regardless of taste) with the brush of "over-compensation for some inadequacy" by accident. I don't have those problems, and my wrists make Panerai look small. So, here is a comparison picture of some vintage watches so that there is some form of scale for those who need it... ... these are ... Large Man's Rado - Man's Helbros - Man's Elgin (on a dive watch) - Lady Elgin (note the size) - Man's Croton Aquamatic And again, Merry Christmas to all... EDIT: AH! So, Ham does think it looks like a "girls" watch... so, since we've seen the difference between a Men's and Lady's Vintage Elgin... let's see how much of a real difference there is between the "Men's" and Lady's Assholaroma... Ah, yes, I can clearly see how 'signifigantly' different these are...

Merry Christmas, Brent! Strap looks amazing. BTW, I hope you got my email, although I quite understand that the holidays are trying for our leisure time.
scoobs1971 Posted December 25, 2007 Report Posted December 25, 2007 hehe..i"m compensating for my fading eyesight Wow, that looks very nice!! What strap is that?

TeeJay Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 Are those Transformers models on the shelf behind you? I have a few dotted around my room, as well as 4 Dalek models which I plan to re-spray to represent the Cult of Skaro. Good to see a fellow collector of such things here Oh yes, my watch... Well, I haven't had time to get a new wrist shot yet, but I'm still wearing my 127, only with a new honey/tan BOB sharkskin strap my fiance got me for christmas. Way more comfortable than the stock strap (which I 'burst' trying to soften it up ) and it looks great on the watch. I'll try and get some pics when possible Hope folks had a good christmas, Peace be upon you.
kingkitesurf Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) BT He that looks good on you my friend! Is that the cristmas special LOL Edited December 26, 2007 by kingkitesurf
Victoria Posted December 26, 2007 Report Posted December 26, 2007 It sucks not having a Shoutbox because then I have to post this -- where's the MidWeek Wristcheck thread, please? I know I know, we're all hung over, or too bloated with turkey. FOLLOWUP: Trying to start only one per week, or less. I did the Weekend ones -- too soon for another; I was hoping someone else would start the ball rolling.
