Carl, your guitar playing skills has been made redundant by these guys. Think it's time to learn a wind instrument instead.

Those bloody robots, always trying to steal the show!

I must admit, that was quite impressive though.

[FeelingTheBlues]

Sheesh guys, I was watching some videos on Youtube and one of the ads before the video was a trailer for a movie...my horror movies enthusiast/easily scared self must watch this movie!

[The Joker]

That looks scary Carl, twisty head woman says you're not old enough to watch that.

Instead of trying to trick me with those gif's, why don't you tell me how many dots there are on the top girl's dress?

[Lion]

Carl, unfortunately the Trailer you posted for the movie is not being allowed to open here in the USA!!!


Wes, did I strike a discord with you in my last contribution to your kidding around.....as I do apologize if I made you upset(actually I do not want to lose my listening privileges to when you play a song on the piano...as I really do enjoy your choices of music to play and share with us)!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

I believe you may click somewhere in the video window to open it on Youtube, it's a trailer to a horror movie called Mama that is supposed to come out on January 18th (at least in Canada as I understand it).

Good luck with your quest for a birth year watch! As for your 1922 watch, allow me to strongly recommend you to enjoy it, it has been made to be worn and there's no need to be afraid to "mess it up". If I may, below are pictures of some watches of mine that are almost as old as yours, they all get regular wrist time and none of them have ever been "messed up".

Thanks! I see you have a JLC. I LOVE my JLCs. It is a tough call between a 1960 and a 1960 Rolex. I'm having a bit of a rough time trying to find a gold 1960 Rolex, but have found several JLCs.

Trying to upload pix of the JLC and the 1922 Rolex.

I do need to take a better picture of the Rolex.

I'm not a man who only goes by the name on the dial but ever since I started to read about it I loved Jaeger-Lecoultre, I think they make very well built timepieces!

Your watches seem to be in pretty good conditions! I'm assuming that the first picture (forgive me but it seems like your camera flash hides a part of the name) is the one of your JLC, funny how its case looks like a Rolex's!

Please share more pictures with us, we all love watches around here (obviously...).

Now if we are going to post pictures...here's the rest of my collection (and some watches you've already seen).

Glad you like the amethyst. I'd like to get my girls birthstone rings eventually, but they don't have very interesting colors - two are pearl and one's a garnet. I have heard that garnets come in several colors, though.

Maybe a yellow gold Day-Date is in your future!

I don't like the day-dates so much as the plainer faces. An Air-King would be nice, or a DateJust if they made those back in the days of the horseless carriage when I was born.

A really nice black or brown perl could be pretty. And garnets can be quite nice, even in "normal" garnet color.

And as for the 1922 watch, its internals are my avatar. I posted other pix, but man they're blurry and awful. I tried to just link from my Pinterest site, but I'm having technical difficulties through user error.

Pinterest site is http://pinterest.com/contractlawyer/watches/
with my "accumulation." Perhaps someday it will be a collection.

I noticed this link when I tried to take a look at your profile, I think you have beautiful pictures of beautiful watches, a great collection if you ask me!

Good evening,
It was suggested to me to open a Photobucket account which is free to do and you can keep your pictures private...and then it is very easy to load pictures from there straight on to any forum. I finally to everyone's suggestions(Lisa...oh Lisa...where are you) and insistence from a friend, a Tattoo artist, who does some of the work I have and now it's very easy to put photos on here!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

Is there any problem Lisa? You missed a dot?

[Lisa]

Okay, where were we? Mikkibarry, a 1960 Datejust shouldn't be too difficult to find. Are you looking for the men's or ladies' size? bbbbb '''7777777777777777777777776

Ooops. The hamster just typed that.

Reminds me of that time where I typed something and decided to clean my keyboard before submitting my post. I know it's still there somewhere but I can't find the thread.

Regarding the 1960's Datejust you are talking about Lisa, may I chime in and recommend Mikkibarry to look for Jacek? He sells a lot of vintage watches and I've seen quite a few gold models in his ads, perhaps he could help you out. My only concern is that it may be hard to find a model that has been precisely made in 1960, aren't the serial numbers usually out for a few years?

EDIT: Forgot to add this in the post but thinking about the size of the watch and other details should definitely come before looking for a seller, my mistake...

Sure Lisa.....
Do you actually think we are that gullible.....personally I think you have been sampling a few Mike's...especially after getting your young ladies to bed!!!

Thanks so much, Leo. I'm going to try this...

I think I'd like the men's size. Yellow gold. Or an Air-King. Or one without a date.

Your hamster types better than my dogs :-)

[Lisa]

I don't know if the Air-King was made in yellow gold - some of the vintage guys can correct me. The old AK did have a date sometimes.

Maybe an old Thunderbird Datejust? I THINK they were available in all stainless, two tone and all gold.

[Lisa]

Oh - here's mine:

I've been playing watch window shopping more than working :) I'm gonna get in trouble if I don't watch out.

[Lisa]

Mikki, I'm no help because I like all of them. So you're not opposed to a leather strap? That's good, because some of those older watches have shot bracelets - you can save some money getting only the watch head.

You might hang out some in the vintage Rolex forum up at the top section of TRF.

I totally understand a birth year gift to self.

[mikkibarry]

Oh that is AMAZINGLY cool. I kinda went nuts on my 37th birthday and bought an XK8 that I will never let go of so long as I can hobble out to it and open the door.

And no, a leather strap is fine. I took the metal bracelet off my Chopard Imperiale and replaced it with leather because the metal one was a bit tight and I couldn't find spare links anywhere. These older watches I think look sometimes better on a good quality black leather strap.

As for a 1960... I've been looking and it's really difficult to find anything that is not already sold or "1960s" instead of the actual specific year. I could always say 1959 since that was my conception date :-). Ah, the summer of 1959. It was warm and dark.

What do you think of these?

Lisa, I didn't know that car was from your birthyear.

I would of thought it would of been more like (and you remind me some what of) this beautiful 288 GTO from the 80's.

Oh dear... we have very similar taste in vintage watches! Carl is going to love looking at your picks.

The JCL triple date moonphase is sublime. I had a hankering for a moonphase a couple years ago and bought an Omega... but found that the dial had been re-done (and not really very well, either) so I returned it for a full refund (luckily it was a local seller).

But the Zephyr is what made me gasp.... I think it's a gorgeous piece, and I do think it's somewhat rare. That one is in lovely condition. I wonder if the dial is original and has not been redone?

Oh - I had to look up your car. Wheeeee!

[mikkibarry]

288 GTO = FAIL! I had to drive my ex husband's after he got stopped by the cops who found his license was suspended (he didn't know that). His new girlfriend "couldn't drive a stick." The thing had no suspension whatsoever, so it felt like you were dragging your butt along the pavement. The electronic clutch was just crap. Regular highway driving, you're in 3rd (second if you want to stay legal) so what's the point, really? And then there are the rednecks a hootin' and a hollerin' to see a "chick" driving a bright red "I have a tiny penis" car. Any idiot with money can buy one of these things. It takes sophistication to have and properly maintain a beautiful classic like Lisa's.
