Had some spare time so put together a few pics with props....

First, the Blancpain with a Gauss meter (measures magnetism in items - none in my watches thankfully!)

Then a couple of shots of the GO PanoReserve, front and back, with my staking set.....

And last but not least, my JLC Master Moon with a couple of archery medals I've won in international competitions.

Thanks for looking!

What can I say. Exquisite taste in watches my friend!
If I would not be going through a rough time at the moment I'd love to see them in person at the GTG.

C.J. · 22 October 2006, 11:06 AM

I second Chips statement. You do have exquisite taste in watches. They're absolutely stunning, Al

Otis · 22 October 2006, 11:12 AM

And I'll third it, just wonderful Al!

Liking that Blancpain more and more everytime I see it.

JJ Irani · 22 October 2006, 05:06 PM

Fine collection, Al....but have to say the Blancpain is by far the best...and very very classy!!

mailman · 22 October 2006, 08:27 PM

It's hard to pick a favorite out of those. They're all beautiful in their own way.

Prince · 22 October 2006, 09:39 PM

Beautiful, Al. Just beautiful!!

23 October 2006, 12:48 AM

Thanks guys! That Blancpain grows on me more everyday. I have often wondered if I was forced to give one of these up, what watch I would choose.......let's just say I'm glad I'm not faced with that decision, and hope I never will be!

padi56 · 23 October 2006, 01:21 AM

Fine collection,and pictures Al, you already know my favourite.

Uncle-AJ · 23 October 2006, 04:04 AM

Great collection Al. The GO is incredible, the back is just as nice as the face.

Just like yours, uh?

GerardoG · 23 October 2006, 09:04 AM

Great taste, very VERY nice watches!

JJ Irani · 23 October 2006, 01:34 PM

I think the black dial on the Blancpain stands out the most. The Romans at 3 and 9 are an excellent touch. The date window is prominent without being vulgar. The skeletal hands are very nice and the JB at '12' looks good.

Just a superb dress watch....one of the best I've seen in a very long time!!

Launch Mini · 23 October 2006, 02:25 PM

Great collection, looking forward to seeing them in person pretty soon.
I have only seen the JLC at an AD, very nice watch.
I won't give them a favorite ranking until I see each of them.

I'm with you. I love the JLC, but for me it would be too small. I love the GO as it is stunning and understated... but that BP is also equally stunning!

I don't know how you choose which one to wear, Al.

dff3 · 13 November 2006, 01:04 PM

My first view of a Blancpain.

What a beauty!!

Don't you own anything just barely gorgeous?

Thanks David and welcome to TRF!

As you can see my tastes are more in the dressier watches, although all of these are great watches for casual wear as well.

I do have a Seiko beater that I wear - here is a lume shot:

Rockrolex · 14 November 2006, 12:00 AM

Very nice collection, Al. And great shots, too.

That GO was even nicer in person than in the pics. I'd have a hard time picking my favorite as well.

mike · 14 November 2006, 08:37 AM

Stunning collection Al!

The Blancpain is just amazing!!

wonghonchung · 14 November 2006, 09:56 AM

The GO's movement is to die for. You are one lucky man Al.

14 November 2006, 11:54 PM

Okay, I've decided... my favourite is the Blancpain (at least, today it is).

Spark · 21 November 2006, 07:01 AM

Wow what a stunning trio!!!!
