The Watch Appreciation Thread - Page 2

You're making me get teary eyed. I lived in Siena for about half a year and was there for both Palio races. I spent many nights in that Piazza.

I was there in 2004 and it was that year during the second Palio that when a horse turned the sharp left corner (if you're standing in the middle facing the tower) clipped the edge, stumbled, got trampled and eventually died.

You are right about the energy...especially as the parade ends and everyone is sitting there waiting for the horses to line and not knowing when they'll hear the thunderous BOOM from the mortar cannon.

I humbly submit my extremely modest contribution... please do not snicker.

Ha, small world.

That is so beautiful, I want it..


P.S
How does these auctions work? pm me about it
D.S

Yes 100%. Almost more by accident by design, I like to find the sweet spot of quality and value and Omega hits that for me. They have some great designs and styles particularly vintage, I think vintage can be a minefield so sticking with one brand makes it less likely that you will buy too many lemons.


This a bit of Schedoni leather with a few surprises inside;

sooooo nice!

Oh. My. God.

There is a little movie here but view at your own risk, if you are already excited by this thread your cork may well pop.
