FunnyStarSystem 7,538 Posted January 11, 2022 @RussP's gen collection is a true museum at this point - where do you keep them all?!? I picture a vast hall filled with spotlit glass cases, security guards shushing and saying not to touch the glass. I wonder if the caf is any good? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lovely Elgin now as the roller coaster plunges down from the apex! BTW- I never thought I'd call a Timex "sweet", but that is one sweet Timex! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redfire1066 10,947 Posted January 12, 2022 @RussP . . Funnily enough I have just finished watching Narcos . .. . . . . "aunque mi español no ha mejorado nada" .. .. lol .. I was amused previously watching a documentry about Pablo's Hippos . . . ... and how they escaped to a local river to undergo a breeding frenzy in near perfect living conditions .. .. some taken in as pets and others ending up on the barbacue .. .. ulimately they where left unchecked and have become quite at home in the river system ... .. All that aside, I purchase this watch just under two years ago . .. . and these Pablo Profundo VB-1 watches .. . (which I think are one of Gnomon Watches own brands) . .. and £ for £ are one of the best made watches I have purchased. Comes with a Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement, and is a LTD Edition Numbered of 200 watches and less than £300 . . .. they where even cheaper last month in the December sale ,. . .. as low as £208 if I remember . ... at 40mm they wear right on the wrist for me . . ... The rivited bracelet is of excellent quality and build, the bezel is super tight and the raised carmel indicies and hour markers of superluminova are fabulous. . . it is a lot of quality watch for little money .. .. ..... thinking back, the day I made my first post of this watch I was inundated with messages from members asking for the link ... . . . not seen another posted though . . . . .. https://www.gnomonwatches.com/collections/pablo/products/profundo-vb-1 . . 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
