Whoa Brad, that 6154 Enzo made was purchased by you I see. Congrats to you as that is one
amazing watch, really exceptoional and one to be proud of. I am envious. :D

Yes,. the very same :D :D ! Thanks - but of course I can take zip credit.

I've taken some wrist shots this AM - now all I need to do is to get my wife off of the desktop so I can upload them for here - she's downloading iTunes for our trip to Seattle and BC.

enzo sure needs to be proud, he did a marvellous job on this one - not easy to recondition an old Angeluus mvmt. I will do it justtic on the PAM board once I have time to shoot it properly. I really do love this vintage mvmt, and for the dial, see 2 e.g. below:

I'm gonna do a more thorough reaction-post in a different thread later :p with more pics

how do i like it..? not very

I love it

the main thing I love about this is... it is an eye-catcher... whatever angle/position/however way you look at it.. because of the design of the HBB, because of the mixture of polish and sharp angles... the light dances on it

it's hard to explain.. some say it blings.. I guess, but bling in a good way not in an over the top in your face way.. it's the way the design works .. like a real diamond.. a real diamond because of the way it's cut.. light catches it and dances .. the same effect is achieved with the HBB

the angles/polish catches the light in a way that everyone notices the watch ^^ anyhows gonna post more later when i get better shots

Very cool Tom, I cannot wait to get mine. There is something about that watch that does it for me. I agree with your assesment that it has just a bit of bling, but not over the top. Enjoy your baby! :D

you might check your browser settings.

Haven't changed a thing on the settings, and when I relogged back in, there are the pics! Either something is screwy on my Firefox, or the image site was down at the time I was looking at it.

the picture is still working. it is a 113e with a bob vanilla virtago strap that isn't in production anymore.

Ahh, yes. But you don't know my persuasive powers. Getting one sent to me, stat. ;)

GORGEOUS!

You startled me, Tom, because when I loaded the page I thought for a second those was my wrist-check shots. I'm not that hairy! :)

Seriously, though, wear it well. And I loved your poetic description about its inherent blinginess without being rapper tatty.

jiro asked me about it, i checked bob's section at rwg and it looks like it has been restocked. these are very popular. when he stopped selling them i saw a used one go for 100.00. i seldom wear this one except in the summer. it looks miami beach cuban style which i think is very coooooool!! now i need to go find my fedora hat. lol

I can totally see a man wearing this with a lovely starched, gleeming guayabera -- custom-made by La Casa de las Guayaberas. All hail Ramon Puig! ;)

@Puggy: Impeccable trio. That IWC is amazing.
@BBB: I bet you 99% of people on earth cannot appreciate how wonderful your Angelus Radiomir is.

@ VB - did you know you have the letters of Oz's most popular beer?! :lol:

Your are right about Pug's pieces - and impeccably shot.

Re the non-appreciation. That's OK - we know - it's like the Masons or something. I reckon it would be 99.9% BTW - including my wife!
