I love the sun

Not only for great fun times outside. But i also love the sun for making this Speedmaster go POP! I have owned a couple of nice Speedmasters in the past. Also tropical ones. But this one is the nicest yet. The dial is so fantastic! Just amazing... and the inlay fits so nice. The bracelet is a rare old expansion version! Great style and nice to wear something different then Rolex from day to day. So let's have a indian summer full of sun!

A rare nato strap > NOS authentic Milsub strap

Well when going through my stuff today i found something real special. What is so special about a nato strap... which almost looks like the 15 USD straps from e-bay, you would think. Well there is a big difference.. i will tell you.

Just the 2 of us...

Maybe some of you have kids and a busy life.  Well we have 3 kids and way to little moments for just the 2 of us. As much as we love to be together with the family. There always have to be those special moments... just the 2 of us.

Last weekend we had the chance... and my wife surprised me with the sudden idea to hit and run for the beach. 250 km drive... but such treat. And '2 watches' enjoyed that special summer feeling. Tropical brown fun... at a nice beach club at the Dutch coast...

Needed some vintage today!

After almost 3 weeks of sapphire fun i needed a plexi back on my wrist. With some style.. and as it was hidden for a while it felt like falling in love again. Nothing beats the style and class of a vintage Daytona and Newman.

114060 put to the test

Well, someone has to do it. It's a hard life as blogger. Getting a new tool-watch. And then sitting here at home... testing. It just does not work. So you have to leave and test the watch to what nature and man have to offer... in name of watch-science.

A 2 weeks endurance test...

Screwdown love.. my new baby

Daytona meeting

Yesterday a nice German collector visited Maastricht and invited me to have a drink in the afternoon. And also Philipp joined in ... for a short but nice talk and drink.

A nice escape

Well some non-watch content. But very much needed....

Fashion and vintage Rolex/watches

When i visited hip Paris lately i was a bit surprised. In the cool boutiques of Le Marais you could not only find some great shoes and cloth. But also they where often combined with some vintage (style) watches on a Nato strap.
