Holiday Week Wristcheck! 20-23 Dec 09

[LHOOQ]

It wasn't cheap, and it may look a bit rough around the edges in closeup. But after a very long wait, I finally got the vintage Tropic I wanted for my Diver:

You could use rubber bands as a strap and that watch would still look fabulous. Nice pickup!

Well put.

Just trying out anew Hirsch strap and Rolex buckle I picked up on the Geek last week.

genuine today!

KBH: Is that a 20/18mm Leonardo you've got on the Datejust? If so, where'd you find the 18mm Rolex buckle? Great combo, by the way!

Thanks for the kind words, tommy_boy and jetrigger! But a new old strap means I've got to try it out on other worthy watches:

I like how the strap coordinates with the bezel here.

The FF from DSN is now on my short list. I just have to choose a dial...

Apologies to everyone for deviating from the wristcheck, but I just finished putting together a nice side-by-side of the DSN and the genuine LIP-Blancpain.

Of course, if you view the DSN from the side, it'll look very different from the real thing. But for reasonably accurate dials, the LIP, the TR900, and the No-Rads are your best bets, in my opinion.

But don't forget to ask Davidsen for his newer, rounded crown!

Love that LÃœM-TEC... has a great B&R look without being an outright copy, and their lume is like a torch!

Time for shooting the latest toys

After my quartz version, I eventually went to the automatic one... as often.
We're not so many around with the Longines Hydroconquest : Harley, Midasmook ? Who else..?

Snow over there ?

An other new toy... Well not so new, but got a new FineDD's "natural" AR : the dial now looks like it should, i.e. dark grey, not blue !

Here's an old shot that shows how harmful the rep AR can be to a watch.
