    My wife bought this ugly friggin duck thing which now stands in the corner of the bathroom..... cute I suppose.

    But why would it have a label on the bottom warning: not for food use.....

    What the hell would you make out of it? Ceramic Peking Duck?

    @Fritz Just in case your wife is a pedant, please note that it's probably a pelican thing, not a duck thing. ;)

    Not bought by me, but actually a present from my mother, who did extremely well for her first watch acquisition (without even consulting me!)

    That looks to be in great condition :thumbsup:

    Seeing what Omega brought to the table for Baselworld 2016, you made the right choice!

    First foray into vintage Heuer. Hope it's not a franken, just need to get the movement serviced and it should be good to go as a daily wearer.

    I was and still am thrilled by this metal door playing with the light.

    The ingenious pseudo perpetual motion mechanism implemented in a cal. 522.

    Enjoy,
