Friends with great taste

Last night we had a little meeting with some friends from Germany. Just a small group. But people with not only great passion and all relaxed attitude. But also such great taste in watches. In style.. in quality and in character of the watches. All great cases and dials around. So much fun guys ... i love it every time we meet.

Day-Date Mania...

Uhhh never thought the day-date would hit me this hard!

What a cool watch. And as one of them is leaving me today i could not resist to make this images. 3 killer day-dates together. 3 times the same reference and still 3 total different styles.

Another one for sale. This time a nice and cool looking 1675 GMT. Pure lifestyle.  WATCH IS SOLD. BUT MORE WILL FOLLOW anD I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NICE WATCHES!

Day-Date with a twist

As you could see the widebody Day-Date looks very cool with the camo nato. But i also wanted to show you how it looks on the wrist. And add some extra lifestyle to it... here you go.. cool stuff.

Double Trouble... Day-Date time

Here you see some Day-Date love in combination with a vintage Filson bag. What a great style combination! A friend sold me a great Filson bag for daily work. But the vintage travel bag is übercool. More images will follow...

SOLD Seadweller 1665 Lifestyle package

As i wrote before. I love to combine some great watches and some cool lifestyle items. And i am happy to let go of some of them. Like this one. Great looking white Rolex Seadweller 1665. A great white from 1983/84. Fantastic dial, nice case... and some cool stuff with it. Well let's have the images do the talking... SOLD

I am always looking for nice watches!

16800 matte Submariner Lifestyle package

Here is another one. Ohh this is so much fun. Feels like a child in the Candyshop! Cool stuff around. This watch is a super daily wearer. Comes on a Shell Cordovan nato. The matte dial is perfect and gives that great transitional quality of vintage look/feel and modern easy to use... i wear it everywhere quality. 

My first gold Rolex

Well i blame it on Steve!! We all do...

But also after seeing great DayDates on the last 2 Passion events and owning a couple of Datejust over the years.. the DayDate started to stick on me. A couple of times i was at the point of buying on or mailing a seller on VRF over the last year. My heart was stolen by a whitegold Stella (green) about 2 years ago. But they have become so expansive i past on them. I kept looking. 

Essence of vintage Rolex

Maybe i showed you to many watches and many thoughts on why i love vintage Rolex so much already. But this one i surly want to share with you! I am not into this because of mechanics, technical issues of wristwatches. But because of design, lifestyle and most important the feeling of wearing something with meaning on your wrist. A piece that will be part of your life and history. Will meet the important moments in your life and will past them on. And often might show them by scratches, patina etc. Something i might be able to past on to my kids. 

But i also love vintage Rolex because everytime i put on a vintage watch i realize that the watch already has seen a life. Uhhh how many stories small and big could it tell... imagination is a mighty tool LOOL!

Another lifestyle package... Zenith Daytona

Well you have seen my last post and how i think about stuff.... here is another lifestyle combination. Hope you like it...

Rolex lifestyle > watch and more

Well... how to put it. When you have been reading my blog you know i am not into Rolex or watches because of the technical part or movements etc. I love the lifestyle of (vintage) watches. The combination of beauty. In art, design, goodies, bags, fashion,.. and watches. And mainly the combination of them. Also i am wearing 50 year old watches... i don't wear cloth like this etc. 

Some black and white porn

It's been a couple of years that i first have owned a white 16520 Rolex Daytona. Back then it was a E-series. This week i am the happy camper to wear a L-series 1989 version. With the rare 225-bezel. 4 lines dial. I passed on them for years. But have to be honest... woow it's a sexy beast! And nicer then the modern version in my opinion. Even if it's only with me for a short while.. as i will pass it on.. it's a great joy to wear it and shoot it.
