    ««««««««« WRUW - Wednesday - 17 December 2014 »»»»»»»»»

    Good morning.
    Sorry if this is going to sound pretentious, but I have to quote myself, from another thread:

    http://www.intlwatchleague.com/showt...3099#post33099

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be banned ( ) but I have to be honest: I have nothing planned for 2015 (1).I intend to keep the"collection" without further additions, unless something really - and I insist - really irrecusable (2)shows up.

    1 True
    2. And guess what? It happened. Yesterday.

    A phone call from my watchmaker usually means trouble. There was an Omega flightmaster in good condition, waiting for me. Would I like to take a look? It still needed a small adjustement (12h chrono hand) but…

    Well, and here it is: an original (1973) flightmaster (ST145.036) with the 911 movement (basically a Speedmaster 861 movement with the12h GMT hand complication) already on my wrist. The watch is almost a monster (or just exotic for its friends) but it seems reasonably comfortable. Enough talk. A few quick pics showing what I’m wearing today:

    Thank you, Jim. Although I have to admit that this watch looks a little bit crazy?!

    Absolutely beautiful, C! I wish we had the drool emoticon here, but we don't, so will have to do. Enjoy!

    Nothing "mundane" about these, Jane. Beautiful watches in their own right!
