The third one reminds me…
By: KMII : August 26th, 2023-20:36
Of a much earlier time, before mobile phones or satnav, where the BT Tower was a good reference of whether one was reliably moving towards the student residence late at night 😂🤷🏻♂️
Have a great weekend too Abel.

Wild animals live inside the crater for their whole life. They do not leave because there is anything they need. A paradise. 2nd pic an elephant skull. 3rd pic in the middle far in the background a herd of wildebeest, just enlarge.
What a landscape!

Was just happy to be there & loved the sign
By: jml_watches : August 26th, 2023-18:32
Was my one and only overseas conference.. Enjoyed wearing Urushi on both occasions - one with the meridian in the shot & one just enjoying the escape & not believing my luck on getting paid to go abroad! Cheers JML
Always good to visit
By: jml_watches : August 27th, 2023-21:46
I just wish they'd make more of the Harrison clocks and watches - there's such a great story associated with them. Cheers JML

I suppose this is not a really well known landmark
By: timerider : August 26th, 2023-01:59
but it is a gateway to landmarks and also a favorite shot. I did not take the shot but a certain moderator we all “No” did take the shot. Just wanted to share. Best to all, Timerider ...
Actually, Burbank Airport . . .
By: Dr No : August 26th, 2023-20:20

We all have to be more careful, not to attract any unwanted attention, with watch muggings on the rise. Took the fun out of this hobby for me... Regards. Goh
Thank you, Abel.

Thank you, Kristjan.
By: Goh : August 27th, 2023-03:58
I am very fond of the Metropolis. I have it for ~7 years now It is an easy watch to wear, with the unusual combination of World Time & Perpetual Calendar. One thing to note is that the button at 4 o'clock rotates the city disc - so it works like a World T...

Zurich in the background

Hello friends No Eiffel-tower in Zurich :-(. No skyscrapers either. You even have to use your imagination to see the lake, the hills and a few old churches in the fuzzy background... Since this forum is about the watches, the 5508 shines sharply. Cheers f...
