Watchmeister Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Every time I head out on vacation I pick three to go with me. Here are my choices for my recent vacation: BEACHWEAR: You have to love the ceramic bezel. Oh look, a peek of yellow. Mellow Yellow disguised with black strap. Ah, one of the two Swiss HBB's DINNER WEAR: Night Shot Day Shot CLUBBING: Until the next vacation.
LordRasta Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 You should come visit me for holiday and bring those lovely watches!
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Love that Mellow Yellow... but what's the story with that 162???? Did you get a gen? A gen dial on your 196? The bezel is a bit off.... Share my friend!
b16a2 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 Great choices! Does that Pam have a 7753 in it? Enjoy your holidays!
Stephane Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 You should come visit me for holiday and bring those lovely watches! ...and then fly to me
Watchmeister Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Posted March 30, 2008 Although (IMHO) my 196 is as close as it gets to the gen: The 162 is in fact a gen. Although I don't usually display gens it is one of the three that went with me this year so it gets equal time.
Guest Sql_pl Posted March 30, 2008 Report Posted March 30, 2008 I see... beautiful piece.... much nicer than a 196 in my opinion... it's a shame they didn;t rep it correctly.... But what's up with that bezel? Th 60 is way off center?
Watchmeister Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 It is off but not as far as you think. Partially attributable to my photo skills. 162 is now a few years old and needs to be serviced and properly aligned. The truth is my gens often look worse than the reps.
Dario33 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Ah yes...sometimes the funnest part of vacations...deciding which watches to bring.
KB Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I don't know about you Kruze but I would hate to have some clever customs officer spot the Hublot or IWC as a rep and confiscate the 162 as well. Ken
JoJo35 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 If you can wait till the 24th, I know a nice 5508 that will be going up for sale ....besides, it probably misses diving!
Raijor Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 Very nice choices - you can't go wrong with those. Cheers
Watchmeister Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 Ken- I appreciate your point but absent someone actually dissecting the watches they are not going to be called reps. After all - one is a gen and the other two are frankens. No Asian movements there. JoJo- Vacation has come and gone. I do look forward to seeing your 5508 though.
