I am feeling blue

After a really bad beginning of the week at the office my perfect consolation patch arrived today.

Some style of today

Ahhh loosing some wight and nice weather. Summer style with Lanvin, tropical GMT and short shirts.

Not a regulateur, but a dump-valve

On VRF and the bay i have seen this one often seen advertised as a regulateur. But that is a mistake. This is a Comex-Pro dumpvalve. It is used for evacuating to the outside of the hyperbaric chamber the oxygen-rich mixtures breathed during decompression or therapeutic treatment. It's purpose is to prevent oxygen build-up in the atmospehe of the chamber, thus minimizing fire risks.

Changed the blog a bit...

I changed the blog a bit.... so it will be easier to scroll and images will be bigger in the future. Therefore i will do the posts with one 'bigger' image and an introduction as an intro. And with the link 'READ MORE' you will be able to see the complete post after clicking it.
So i can upload more images for each post and images will be bigger. I hope you will enjoy the changes.

I am also looking if i will change the blog from google-blog to another version. With more options. Will keep you all posted.

Match made in heaven




Yeahhhh after some search. Finally i found the perfect bezel for my 5512 tropical. Such an amazing combination. Can't get hold of the true colours in the image. Brown/greenish, as the dial. And so cool... as the dial has a gradient, the inlay has i also.
The inlay is a super fat font typography. Which is very, very rare. I was told there might be a military connection in them but nobody knows. I am so happy...

WTB a nice watch

Woooow it's hard to find a real nice watch these days. I am searching for something real nice like a 6265 black (sigma, papers not needed) or 1675 UAE (maybe even blue bezel). But finding something with a good case, great dial ... mhhhhhh. Would love to find one with the early mk1 pushers. Even 6240 kind of pushers. Or something else special with great character ...ahhhhh collecting watches is pure stress LOOOOOOOL.

Maybe you know of something special?

Lazy Sunday morning



A friend was just over. And as it goes,.. talking about faded inlays, changing bracelets,.. talking forums and watches. And his quest for a real nice 7928 Tudor gilt/pointed sub. Why,.. why not. What else. Which one. Isn't it typical and nice. Those little meetings with friends. And makes you smile on a sunny early and lazy Sunday morning. Enjoy your weekends.

And ... when you know a real nice 7928...let me know ;-)

5513 love...



Just a nice image.... we are so lucky!

A great gift from a friend



This week was full of surprises.... and out of the blue a package arrived... with just one note ' THIS BOOK HAD YOUR NAME WRITTEN ALL OVER IT!!!".
And whaooow... what a great gift! A lot of memories. Of my tennis-youth. Full of Agassi shoes, Cross-Trainer, Diadora, Wafle-Trainers...
Thank you W. i am so happy with it!!! Big thanks!

Auction coming up.... Bonhams 9th of June




Another auction coming up. Bonhams in London. Looking nice. Some great watches. And i love the ones with a story. Like the 6034 from Norman Buckley. Here is the story from Bonhams (quote):

The 5513...simple but soooo beautiful



It keeps to be my favorite reference. Reduced to the max. But with the right patina, great case and right inlay.... PURE SEX ON THE WRIST!

Sportsbag


These bags are so much fun! Hard-core material. Cool looks..... and something different then the 'big-fashion-brand' at the gym LOOL. This one will go to a friend, as i already have a couple. I love Comex.
