[Hambone]

This one gets more time on the wrist than the other babies

 

[cybee]

very striking Hublot HB...took this with cell phone so not the best photo...blue Sub over the blue Pacific...is it Monday already? :|

 

[dylan]

For monday.

Then for tuesday my gmt master II before it goes through mods.
I'm waiting on parts...

 

[jiro]

Nice wristies guys~! :wink:

I'll kick off this new week with my black fish~!

I just can't take off my eyes from this baby!!!!

 

[takashi]

Mine is a VC Overseas. AR coating is really good on this piece. Crystal really disappears at most angle.

@Dylan: You have EXCELLENT taste I've noticed in these past two Wristies!
@Jiro: Wow, I love your Breitling. How do you take such amazing pics??

MONDAY

This is Maria Felix, the legendary Mexican actress whose life-long patronage of them, inspired Cartier to come out with a whole line called "La Doña".

Here you see just part of her famous, multi-million dollar jewelry collection, all from Maison Cartier, including her trademark crocodile necklace and serpent arm bracelet. Yikes!

This ravishing diva, whose beauty once stopped traffic in the Champs-Elysée!, had a strange Dalíesque eccentricity, which surely later inspired Michael Jackson...

...but she was a law unto herself, and the "La Doña" watch in her honour certain reflects that.

Here's the Gen.

The side-view of the rep's deployant atop gay Mexican colours.

The guilloché close-up!

And finally, the Wristie! BEAUTIFUL! Just PM Wackobirdkeeper if you want one for your beloved lady this Christmas.

(That's mum modelling the already-Wristied Cartier Panthere from Andrew. Like mother, like daughter. [smilie=alien.gif] )

TUESDAY

Tuesday is back to basics with my cherished DSN Fiddy on its new super-cool Zeugma strap. Just wish that MG were mine!

If you need a Fiddy strap, make this the one. The gold thread makes the gold hands POP.

...only problem is, Zeugma's #187 is the only one of its kind! :lol:

@ dylan: Taking care of my baby whitefish, aren't you now? :lol:
@ jiro: Awesome pics, as always bro! 8)
@ vbarret: Good thing you mentioned that your mother's wrist was posing with yours... for a second I thought you had two left hands! :lol:

Starting off my boring Monday with a bang:

@ vbarret: Good thing you mentioned that your mother's wrist was posing with yours... for a second I thought you had two left hands! :lol:

Nah, just two left feet. Boom Tish!

:lol:

Nice TT, Bob! You didn't get that at Tiffany's, I reckon?

Hehe, it's genuine, honey, I swear!! :twisted: :twisted:

I love the TT DJ (from Ruby), it was my dream watch from day one (the concentric dial is AMAZING in person), and I finally got it. It's the replacement of the TT Navitimer that was robbed from me, and I really do love it just as much.

Wow V, that Zeugma is amazing - I may need to think about picking one up for myself

Here is what I wore today -

Rocking the Chopard MIlle XL today, I need some bigger watches, these 44-45 mm still feel small. Time to Upgrade 8)

Start savin'...they cost an arm and a leg...but totally worth it!

Don't have a PVD myself, but if I did, that's the one right there!

And is that a FxrAndy strap I spy?

 

[OldeCrow]

Wearing my rep of the Invicta Black MOP today! :lol:

Thanks

I have been looking at the Zeugma's site, and yes, I agree with you about it costing an arm and a leg. I am saving for a really nice strap, thinking about Simona Vintage Blue - but with the horrible exchange rate, I may need to wait a While :lol:

The strap on the PVD is actually made by my wife using an old Vintage Levi's belt. It's the one and only strap she made and it means a lot to me - in terms of workmanship, it's not quite there yet though :lol:

Totally worth it though, unlike some strapmakers who charge the earth for vintage ammo, and some guys must be like -- whoa, for that price, it had better give me a bj, too.

Hang about. Don't check her website, check her recent Risti entry.

(Change xx to tt)

120 Euros is slightly better than on her website, IIRC. I believe that's shipped, but she does write "for more information" and gives her email addy, so perhaps not.

BTW, I WAS gunning for a Simona vintage blue too (which IS gorgeous), but I've gone off the idea of the Cali 249. I'm now going for the tobacco-brown dial of the 232, and need more of that colour!

Aww, that's so wonderful! And wow, what a gal. You wouldn't get me doing that for even myself!

(Can you tell I like my manicures too much?)

@ VB.....Ravishing Diva? Looks more like a hideous whore house madam. Yikes!
