Nice Q, dear J.. Well, let me see.. What to humbly chip in.. ;)

My Holiday Season wearables - sometimes easy, sometimes a bit tricky..

Well, when you were asking, I hesitated a moment, in fact haven't finished my mind-
books on the Xmas & Holiday " outfit"..

Guess, I will just take it, depending on mood and occasion :

but there will be some fixed Holiday season's candidates from my modest "collection":
Such as the TTR 1931, for some evenings, but also for theatre & opera
where we traditionally attend, in a bit of a festive mood & appeal:

Rev TTR===


TT Rev 1931


For that purpose I am often to select my JLC RG Geomatic, a watch I really love, when
going out a bit more fancy...

Geomatic===


RG Chronometer - Geomatic.. Perfect to go out !


For planned dinners with friends over the holidays, I expect the TT Polaris to get the nod;


One fresh look on one of my favs !



Polaris, always nice on the wrist, strong presence


and for daywear some Military Vintages ( such as Mark-11 / IWC and VII WWW)


Nice Military Duo: WWW & Mark-11 (IWC)



Military Duo : lft: JLC WWW & rt : Mark - 11


Mark-11, WWW and / or one of the GMTs 1675, always a colorful choice..

GMT ( one Vintage / 1960, one 1971 1675


2 1675s: Vintage (1960), gilt, PCG, CR, exclam & 1972



2x 1675: one Vintage ( 1960), one a bit younger ( 1972


And finally I will definitely take & enjoy my Vintage piece of the year 2014,
my beloved Explo 6610, for some smart occasions, like a Cocktail..

Explo 6610====


Explorer 6610 (1956), gilt, CR



Explorer 6610.. Rolex Vintage pride..


And now, in the end , I will also showcase a bit my latest arrival, the (TT) Geophysic 1958;
despite some discussions here , led with quite a bit of passion & liveliness,
for me the case is simple:

Geophysic 1958 WS===


(TT) Geophysic 1958


I love my ss/ Crosshair model and I do not deeply mind the model inscription low on the dial,
or that it has got an automatic movement, which I would have not preferred ( so what ?) ;

I would guess, for me it's not a "true" Geophysic, in the historical sense & in puristic collectors' minds,
- but indeed she is just a very nice, low key & elegant watch, with lots of DNA !..


Geophysic 1958 wears comfy on the wrist


And I am more than happy to live with that & love to look down at her ! ..

Wishing you all a Happy Holiday & Festive Season

Best, hs

PS: Sorry if my ramblings were too long, but once I started...
Hope you liked it a bit..

Before Christmas we must be modest and humble.

 
 By: dr.kol : December 13th, 2014-05:32
Till the holidays start, I will be wearing the simplest possible watch and its older and younger brothers. Todays is from 1971 On Christmas eve, I will open a big package containing something much more complicated. Then I will remove the protective tapes ...  

Happy Holiday, Kari...and to a beer or two in 2015

Beer I will skip and

Sea-Dweller I'll try to resist... Let's see how I will manage. I have a watch related project in my mind but it would require €€€,€€€. Let's see what I will do but the new theme is hard to resist. Happy holidays to you too. I can't compete with your vinta...

But are you staying in Alps over the Xmas?

 
 By: dr.kol : December 13th, 2014-07:32
I have to admit that very often in Christmas time there is as much or more snow than in Lapland. But because Lapland is so north, we can always trust that there is snow in the winter time. I have seen some green slopes in the Alps in the Xmas time. I did ... 

No....back in UK on 24th

is hot in Lapland days and nights. You are always welcome. Or was it so that in UK you do not eat Rudolf the Rednose in Christmas time? Best, Kari

a bit like eating Bambi

 By: anaesdoc : December 14th, 2014-07:17
Well, hs, it seems to me that your schedule for the holidays must be tight if you already have so many watches in mind for the different occasions. I have to second our "baron" in complementing your choice. As I said before: I like all of your watches ver... 

Thank you for your nice words & your kind looking !.. Appreciate your interest..

 
 By: hs111 : December 14th, 2014-07:56
.. can only tell you, in regard to the 2 GMTs shown: Yes, the " younger one" (1972) with a very nice, fresh Pepsi dial is a bit colorful, almost exuberant - but I really enjoy this for the warmer, summerly months.. The other, Vintage one, with faded bezel... 

This one

Big Fish (2003) Young Ed Bloom : There are some fish that cannot be caught. It's not that they are faster or stronger than other fish, they're just touched by something extra.
