Comex meeting 2010

Again this year there was a special Comex meeting. A GTG of great Comex freaks and friends. Special people with the crazy Comex bugg. Looking for a place to celebrate their passion and talk engravings and provenance all day long.

Tudor Heritage mystic magic

Just some new images. I love all those details. This watch loves the camera!

Tudor Homeplate old and new

The old one and new one next to each other.

Tudor Heritage Chrono one of the first... I LOVEEE it!!!

Well i was lucky. Got the phonecall today. I guess one of the first as i have not seen any post's about arrival yet. Maybe i have the best AD in the world!! Big thanks to them. Here it is. ANd to be true... it's the coolest NEW watch i know. Great details and look of quality. But also such a great vintage style. This will be my summer watch. Tomorrow it might even see some pool time. I am so happy... will do more report later. The nato strap looks so great with the watch. And i feel it is a match out of heaven!

Side by side

My 2 GMT's. Each very special. 1 tropical....the other redhand. I love these details.

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 ;-)
