My Summer -- what I wore

Sep 30, 2010,17:52 PM
 

Bill's post earlier this month got me thinking about what I wore this "summer".  Since June 3 (120 days ago), I wore these watches more than 3 times.during that period, and they account for 75 of 125 wearings (I sometimes wear more than one watch a day).  The other 50 wearings are scattered among 29 watches. 

 

Wearing History Worn

yr/make/collection/model/mvmt, case/strap; face color/feature (calibre)

2004 Vacheron Constantin Malte Large Calendar auto, 18kYG/brown leather, white/dual window date (1204)

 

It got chosen for two overseas trips for work and thus got concentrated wearings -- 17 times. 

1990s Jaeger-LeCoultre Odyesseus Quantieme Perpetuel 166.1.60 auto, 18kYG w/RG/black leather, enamel (889/440/1)

 

Maybe my favorite watch

2000 Blancpain Villeret Ultra-Thin 0095-1318-55 Auto, SS/leather, white/thin auto (Blancpain 1153)

 

Recent "new shoes" and factory buckle

1968 Omega Seamaster WG Day Date BC 168.0023 auto, 18kWG/18kWG, silver/chronometer expansion bracelet (751)

1997 Omega Seamaster Professional Chrono-Diver 2296.80.00/TL 378.0514 auto,TT/Tant/RG, blue wave/date-double chrono (1164)

 

That watch that made me fall in love with Omega

2003 Chronoswiss Chronoscope CH1521R, 18kRG/leather, silvered face (C125)

 

One of only a few 2010 purchases

1940s Lusserna (Macy's) manual, SS/leather, white face (Lemania 2310/27 CH)

 

I love this watch -- with essentially the older brother to the calibre 321 in it -- even on an obnoxiously red stingray strap

1986 Omega Speedmaster Teutonic Moon ST 345.081 manual, TT 18kYG/TT 18kYG brushed, white/moonphase (866)

 

I bet you haven't seen another one

2007 Omega Deville Hour Vision 431.30.41.21.02.001 auto, SS/SS, silver face (8500)

 

Nothing unusual, it is just an outstanding a flexible watch that is a great timekeeper

Nice, Sam

Your watch brings a smile to my face, Art...

. . . "Pinky", the 1949 Elia Kazan film recently, and noticed similar rectangular watches in several scenes . . . these must've been popular back in the day.
