Travelling?
Been doing too much and have missed posting here. I'm not sure why but when traveling my most frequent companion seems to my Harvest Moon. Is it because Neil Young's version, unlike Stepan's, makes me think of my wife? Perhaps. She -- the wife -- is a beauty. But so is Stepan's version. And since the wife won't want to be posted here, what you get tonight are these two shots.
On the road.
Facing a sunset.

A bit early, but the 9/26 WS starts now! - Travels and Watches
I am still in bad jet lag so I plan to go to bed early today... But WS must start and here are my a bit old travel scene with watch. A few months ago, mother, sister and I went to Kanazawa on the newest bullet train which does not shake left and right at ...
Recently I traveled to the beautiful shores of lake Erie.....
I share with you a few of my memories. Best Edward ...
Thank you for your kind words Nicolas.....
Erie is one of five great lakes belonging to both USA and Canada , there is a lot to be said about their beauty, I had the opportunity to see all of them. Believe me the are long lasting memories Edward
Thank you very much hs111 it is a keeper ....
and being so robust my 657 is a great travel companion Best Edward
Thank you blomman for your kind words...
delivering a decent photo is a very much a moment of happiness Cordially Edward
Thank you Ken....
Visiting this vast lake is pretty much like standing at the edge of the ocean, except that the waves are gentler and the water is not salty at all With Sinn on your arm what else a man can long? Warm Regards Edward
Your Sinn really camouflages itself nicely into the environment
Is that already on the replacement strap or on the original one?
Thank you KMII for your kind words....
the strap is a replacement one, the first one lasted about three years. Sinn is blending nicely and would look good even with a dress shirt Best Edward
When I travel, I try to be "under the radar"...
Here is a sample set: For more formal meetings, nothing beats a simple Reverso: For sportive events, a Bullhead fits nice: Not a GMT watch but it plays nice because the 9300 movement (and the 8500) allows the hour to jump back and forth. For multiple time...
Wonderful photography Nilo!... Such a feast...
... for our eyes! That is a watch for each occassion! Well chosen! Love the watches, and of course these awesome pictures! Have a nice week end! Very cordially, Abel.
What great pics!
While hard to choose a favorite, I guess the Bullhead just inches ahead for me Just seems to transport the period cool so well into current times.
Travel watches with things that stick up in the air and water: Mondiane and Seiko
My travel watches now are chosen from three in rotation Mondaine Swiss Railways Watch Seiko All-Nippon Airways Pilots' Watch Seiko ASTRON Mk. I Orange Edition Regards, MTF ...
Bali
Pura Ulun Danu Bratan, or Pura Bratan, is a major Hindu (Shiva) and water temple on Bali, Indonesia. The temple complex is located on the shores of Lake Bratan in the mountains near Bedugul. Regards, MTF
There are two versions of Mondaine Swiss Railways watch
Mine is the type with "stopping" seconds hand that pauses for a few seconds at 0 position until minute hand clicks forward each minute. Regards, MTF
Never seen the ANA Seiko before
There goes one more thing on the wish list. Was it pilot issue only or also available for purchase regularly? How does the Mondaine work for you?
Limited Edition design tested by ANA pilots and for sale onboard aircraft only
Mondaine is easy to change time zones with no date. Regards, MTF
What a nice travel book w splendid postcards !.. :)?
Like the Mondaine, in its no-nonsense & clean appeal. And the Seiko an ideal beater, I guess. Your travel pics make one longing for a next trip.. Cheers & HAGWE ! hs
I'm wondering . . .
. . . about the ale, Melvyn. What would be its nearest comparison? On my way to an Irish pub shortly ;-) . . .
I feel that choosing a watch for a trip is part of the enjoyment...
... of travels. When I return back home the watches worn (or bought) abroad keep the memories of beautiful places visited, nice old friends met again, new acquaintances discovered and nice meals enjoyed. Though GMT or Universal Time watches are very inter...
That is a great collection of watches memories and postcards, Amigo.
The only thing I am in disagreement is " old " in " nice old friends "... Un abrazo, mi viejo amigo. Nicolas.
Ha ha ha Lol! Touché my friend! ... Yes, I guess I should have said "my young old friends" Lol!
Un abrazo afectuoso y buen fin de semana mi amigo! Abel
Thank you so much dear Hs! So glad you liked...
... the selection. Glad you identified last picture taken at the most famous balcony in Paris! Lol! Have a nice week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
Hard to pick a favorite, dear Abel....
But the Patek is a true travel watch for sure! HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Thank you for your comment dear Blomman! Yes...
... the PP HU is an ideal travel companion I guess. In my case never traveled with it yet, as it arrived at beginning this year and had no opportunity to take vacations since then. It is a firm candidate to be on my wrist on my next trip abroad though. Ha...
You have a vast selection to go with on trips!
I like Rolex GMT, though (for obvious reasons ) Thanks for sharing! Ken
Thank you Ken! GMT is a wonderful option for sure!...
... My pleasure to share my travel companions here! Hagwe Ken! Abel
The travel collection that will be hard to beat :)
All of them nice but the Breguet somehow really complements the setting best...
Thank you!...
Thank you KMII! Yes, As a matter of fact that picture was taken just a few hours after taking delivery of my watch at the Place Vendome Boutique! This timepiece is full of nice memories!
Ouch, what a shot!
Ok, I am a bit biased when it comes to this watch... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Well said Joe! Completely agree!...
... beautiful shot of an awesome timepiece! HAGWE! and cordial regards, Abel.
J: Absolutely adore this timepiece !.. :))
Never reluctant or even concerned, having RG on your wrist, as a blingy "signal" or scratching it ? Of course, for more civilized trips and encounters a splendid choice ! Bon voyages, chér ami ! Cheers & HAGWE ! hs
Business Travel can be boring at times
Does that happen to you as well? Travelling on business: waiting in airport lounges, attending boring meetings, nights in a hotel room? So what could be a better travel companion than a watch that not only tells time but also allows for a little game to p...
Unexpected!
Gee.... never thought of travel watches in that way. Great mind you have! Ken
Well, let me see what to humbly chip in.. Usually I take 3-4 with me, depending a bit on destination.. Thus, I'll try to play..
One, which is a versatile classic, has a 8 days PR, and GMT, and also has a second "face" to go out.. Reverso GDe GMT Then something for a bit fancy.. DSA -EU.. Always right, never wrong A more robust one, with a bit of crazyness ABP Pro, no-nonsense choi...
That's a great Travel line-up, HS
I see many possible destinations with that variety. Best, CC
All Great choices my friend HS! nice that you ...
... can take several watches with you. Multiple enjoyment of your lovely watches! Have a nice week end and safe travels! Cordial regards, Abel.
You know what I like in your collection... :-)
The last two, of course. ABR and Rolex Black/Blue GMT II Nice collection, though! Ken
Thx for your kind interest & friendly words !.. :))
Well, this Reverso is a great travel companion, 2 faces, easy GMT mechanism & the verso side versatile for easy evenings.. Of course the ABR & Rolex GMT obviously are more on the robust side.. Thx again & HAGWE ! hs
Probably the first time I see a Reverso in a naval setting
And it looks really nice. The ABR is naturally always a good choice (just got one myself, so excited about every one I see)
This Bruiser, is that what ppl call here?
Is growing on me a lot, nice travel companions, HS.
Well, this 116710BLNR- in EU mostly "Bruiser" is common,
in US I\'ve also read "Batman".. Cool piece, very nice on-the-wrist feeling great for travel, indeed. Thx for kind looking ! Cheers & HAGWE ! hs
Amsterdam is great. Lotsa happy..
..ppl there. Must be the weather and that leafy plant. Haha. Kidding. It\'s a very creative community as a whole and entrepreneurial. Nice and friendly ppl. Whereas the ppl of Munich are very systematic and everything on the dot, not a bad thing but as I ...
Amsterdam...
Looks like Brussels I think, from the pic.. Now in Munich.. Had too much dark beer at Rathskeller, Marienplatz earlier..
Only noticed many boutiques concentrated along Maximilian Street
Jocke will be able to know the best places here, I presume..
Don't think, so due to my really weakened currency ;p
May check out the prices first..
There are no circumstances . . .
. . . under which you can have too much dark beer. And yes, the two photos depict the very same glass of red maple ale ;-) . . . ...
Maple Ale? A must try..
Dark beer is awesome. Yours with a tinge of maple. Cheers to that. maple syrup my favourite from the days when I was studying in Canada..
Your travel spirit is well conveyed.....
Very difficult to capture the true beauty of Rolex GMT II, I know. Great watch and great pics! Ken
Thx Ken, can be captured
However I felt the beautiful cities and their intricacies captured by the camera outweigh my GMT II appearance..good weekend to u Ken
Likely to outlast the environment, though ;)
Cool combinations and both the watch and environment are great!
I had wanted to make a trip to Salzburg by train today..
...however was advised otherwise by some German visitors to Neuchswenstein castle yesterday due to the unfortunate refugees situation.. Regards
Trains are patchy, true that
The service at the moment is not reliable between Munich and Salzburg. At the same time the ÖBB (Austrian Rail) CEO is being highly praised not only for the humanitarian streak but also for the spectacular performance of dealing with and transporting such...
The watches which most often travel with me are...
I will try to mention only some of them, most probably these ones... HAGWE, All. Nicolas ...
Aahhh !.. Here come the travel "heavyweights".. ;))
This Sonata watch & pic are uber-stunning, - so is the "Audi"- trademark shot with Ti MMR. Both favs to me of your portfolio !.. Not to speak about the roof-classics & the lovely Trieste Canale ! Difficult to choose one over the others - so take them all ...
Well... this is not a way of "traveling light" my friend!...
... you like to travel with much "heavy stuff" at reach of your wrist! Lol! I envy you gusy who can take with you several favorite timepieces each time you part on a vacation or business trip. Double enjoyment: travel and watches! Great timepieces and gre...
Sometimes..........
you just have to hit 'em hard just back from last travel few days ago from Golf & Spa Resort Mainly I travel with this one some Paris postcards but most time with the one Happy travels my friends Yours D ...
Darko hits again! ;)
Please tell me that you didn't wear a watch when you made that hit! HAGWE Blomman
F-C looks very, very nice for golf hitting hard :-)j
And others are very nice as well. Especially ABR! Ken
Looking forward to seeing them in Vienna and Zagreb, too!
Let me know if the planned trip is becoming more definite!
Will have definitive answer in week or so
but will let you know at least month in advance as for Zagreb you can start packing
Travel watch - back to 1965....
GP Damier, only the second in this thread! If I am not wrong, the second ever in the WristScan history! CC beat me with a few hour.... I haven't started to play tick-tack-toe on mine yet, but if I ever get bored I have the option! HAGWE Blomman ...
Hej, my friend (s) !.. :))
The Damier with its special dial is really something !.. A Double in 1 thread !!.. - Like all your choices !.. Travel safely & happily ! ) Best, hs
Hey Ken!
You should join us! Always room for more members in the GP club! Best Blomman
Just make sure your son does not read this week's WS
And gets some ideas Or it is another travel to the spa
For some strange reason, I'm hungry all of a sudden . . .
. . . for a Chicago deep-dish pizza.
Commuting watches
Hi Over the last few months I've posted a few shots of my watches while I've been on the way to work - here are a few Reflections on a Memovox Sunny Master Moon Urushi Ring a few bells? Blurry Monday Morning Seiko Hope you all have good companions for you...
JLC and Seiko shine on your wrist.....
... The train is so crowded that I can\'t take pic on the commute train.... :-( Ken
Well I have to pick my days carefully
Hi Thanks - they're all rather special, just like all their differences and changes in character. Don't get the chance to take pictures often - but when I do I grab a few shots. I'm sure I must occasionally get the odd look for doing it - but I think most...
. . . and a blurry Monday Morning . . .
Fleetwood Mac . . . video to match your Seiko - live from Japan, no less!
OK, here we go!
These days travel is very often by car, so the appropriate equipment (spare steering wheel, for instance) is necessary Here enroute to Germany. Here with the headlights to dipped beam, so to speak An important part of every journey is returning back home....
Also Chopard - could not resist
And they go well with the watch Thanks for the kind words and btw. the final arrival that you were so curious to see is here (HoMe forum)
So do I ;)
As said, recommended by many here, and I choice I am happy with every day. So understated and versatile, both.
Sure
But will have to wait until tomorrow, when I get to the laptop. Currently impersonating the mattress for my daughter, so movement is limited
Here we go - sadly the watch is not around for a clearer one.
Also taken while travelling, to boot ...
I don't travel much at all . . .
. . . but when I do, chances are . . . . . . it'll be the Senator Sixties that gets the nod. Dead accurate, reliable, legible, just a hint of style, and best of all, unrecognizable . . . I prefer to fly under the radar. Art ...
Aahhh.. My often admired Sen 60ies !
A watch of your portfolio I really like !.. - Nice pic, needless to say !.. Cheers & HAGWE ! hs
A very, very handsome watch to go on a trip, Art....
It deserves some get-away once in a while, so do you.... Ken
Lovely watch dear Art! I specially like...
... the font of the 3-6-9-12 indexes! A blue dial version is in my wish list since some time. May be next year it will come! Hagwe my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
German stealth?
I guess few would recognize it (apart from a generation of East Germans, as it is a pretty close to the GUB original from the 1960s).
Never encountered anyone who recognized my Sixties . . .
. . . outside our circles, but once, I received a compliment from a young lady who was smitten. She wanted to know all about it! Turned out she was married, and for a brief moment considered getting one for her husband.
For a second I thought the story was going elsewhere ;)
I.e. That being married is a condition, not an impediment The watch may be more recognizable in Germany, though. Many in our company for instance dream of GO and know all about it but then for cost reasons or in order not to rock the boat (in the vein my ...
Whenever I travel, I eat...a lot so my travel watches usually have food :))
last trip to Chicago in June, with the Daytona and a Porsche RS Spyder watch for sports. The GO was from a trip in Bahamas, it followed me to Vegas this July. Chicago food trip with Daytona Eat too much, so need work out. This one will go with me to Dubai...
While you're pondering the SPECTRE . . .
. . . here's a little background music . . . Oldies but goodies . . . to help you decide ;-) . . .
Very appropriate & convincing lineup !.. :)
Pretty much all it takes for travel.. Cool last pic- love the SM in blue !!.. - 1 Q allowed: the Ti one ? Cheers & Best, hs
Hmmmh.. Had it forgotten it exists.. Anyway, splendid watch & great pics !! :) [nt]
PS: Is this Spectre SM 300 in SS ?? - If so , pricewise in between "Standard" & Ti ?? ( if it is allowed to ask)..
HS, you are right, it's in stainless steel and ...
The price is right between standard and Ti. I posted in Omega forum with more pictures. Hope you will like it. Rgds Raymond
I'm lovin it, stealing the lines of McD, this is my 1st Omega, won't be my last..
Thanks for the wishes, will post more photos from Dubai, just like I did for Chicago in TimeOut forum. Rgds Raymond
These have served me well.
I have to give this latest one a try sometime. cheers fernando ...
3 perfect companions !.. One more attractive than the other !..
No, all are splendid choices !! Cheers & HAGWE !! hs )
Although
I had in mind few others you can bring that last one So next month? Cheers D
Stellar lineup, Fernando!
