You should be able to compare them side by side at an AD in 31/36/41mm, oh wait.![]()
I pointed to my watch, then his, and then gave him a thumbs up. He ignored me. I suspect he thought I was a psycho on a plane.
OK so i'm still under the affect of this sighting.. two days ago at London Luton airport, queuing up at passport control after landing, the Border Force officer was shouting "Next! Next!", so i looked behind me to let the person know they're next.. and something unexpected happened. No idea how, but from a distance of about 3-4 meters i spotted the person wearing what i believed to be nothing less but a SOYUZ Speedy!!! Nothing came out of my mouth, I just kept staring, making the person very uncomfortable, and the officer even more impatient. I know it's a long shot, but if it was you, hereby apologising for staring. I was looking for you later for a quick chat and perhaps a double wristshot, but there was a huge crowd, so no chance. If you recognize yourself, please own up! 😀
If you saw the 'Italian' Soyuz Speedy it would be a super-extraordinary sighting! Could you clarify which? -- Italian or meteorite?
The watches don't have to be expensive or even a name brand, but, what watches have you seen in the wild that grabbed your attention? Name the watch, if you can, and where you saw the watch.
I'll start... in Los Angeles there is no shortage of luxury watches walking the streets, however, three stand out for me.
1. Black dialed Audemars Piguet T3 in the lobby of the AMC Century City Movie Theaters
2. A Panerai 341, the gigantic homage watch to the Egyptian Navy Panerai, on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills
3. A Jacob & Co, massive and highly unusual complicated looking watch, in a Persian restaurant in Westwood. I always feel a little uncomfortable approaching people and asking them about their watch, but, since we were sitting near one another, I just explained that I was a watch collector and found his watch fascinating. He told me the manufacture, one I'm not familiar with, but, it looked very expensive. ( similar to the image )
