Mad dog would like this.

 

Great watch! Maybe one of my next targets in the modern division...

 

Oh happy days

 

I just pre-ordered this for next month,the new titanium version...

 

Another watch box
Hmmm, looks like I have room to add something.

 

I've never seen a dress Minerva pocket watch like this and I might never again.

Of note is the engraving on the bow.

 

Here's a 1988 Speedmaster with the elusive (and extremely comfortable) 1450 bracelet, from Japan. Patina on the markers is quite amazing, in my opinion. While trying to remove a link to size the bracelet, I found that the removable pins were so corroded that the fixed pins would bend before the removable pins would come out. So I soaked the bracelet in a 50/50 solution of acetone/ATF for a couple of days, and all the removable pins freed up. I replaced them with stainless pins (16mm shaved down to 15.5mm, .9mm diameter) just to be safe. I adjusted the timing on the Ace, and after a week on the wrist it's 2 seconds fast (total, not per day). I'm happy.

 

Taking the liberty of speaking for the newcomers, please show us a wrist shot.

 

Here you go:

 

Thanks to @LouS for both pointing this one out and then, upon seeing the maniacal glint in my eye and the froth around my mouth, backing slowly away. I owe him one - it's a peach of a Bivouac. My old bezel-less one with grotty hands immediately becomes a parts watch.

 

The pristine quality of that is just breath taking.

 

straps...lots of new straps from my favorite vendors. @BulangandSond and @Heuerville.
O, and a fancy new travel case.

 

Oy, this ref. 4870, cal. P1019/1 is going to be a project, due to some serious internal injuries. But it's 36mm of V&C goodness, with stars and crosses and such, so the MMMD Vacheron Rescue League will find a way.

 

I spent some € on safety equipment. New strap and clasp for my dsotm.

and for my personel safety...a goody for Mrs.

 

Those blue bags are powerful

 

Thanks Naidu for the amazing picture

 

Not a watch but a new Suburu Outback Limited AWD, just picked it up today. My wife's new daily driver...she's very happy, think I can get a new watch or two out of this!

 

Very nice! I say it's good for more than two - three at least!

 

Bought these a week ago, today.

I couldn't resist getting this bracelet.
