Paul:

you well summarized this amazing week and wrapped it up in the sweetest way...the elegance of your photo compositions blows my mind over and over...and I know they do require some work! Overall, a Background shooting only needs an elevator and no fear of heights! Your images scream time and dedication and I salute you...

Cheers,
Francesco

Ps.
The watches are all beautiful, but my heart goes to the AMI....go figure!

: The forum goes through ups and downs when it comes to activity,
: posts and general entertainment and this week certainly had it
: all.

: - Amazing Background no 19, 19a and 20 from Francesco – this
: series has lived up to all expectations with these unique,
: Spiderman perspectives of New York and the amazing Heuer
: foreground interest poignantly indicating time and day.
: - Carrera Chronomatic dial unearthed and sparking health debate
: PLUS one of the finest analysis you could ever wish to read by
: Mark
: - David D back from a stint in the dark ages and sporting, quite
: appropriately, a Big Red (Roles not Silverstone that is).
: - Laurent finding yet another stunning watch this time a UG Space
: Compax with GF bracelet. If I was to make a wish list I would
: not need to look much further than OTD week 45 – UG Space
: Compax, Daytona Big Red and most certainly GVM’s Eberhard
: Contograf.
: - Then there was Peter’s Autavia 3646, maybe the finest example
: you will ever see and of course the reveal of the week,
: Paolo’s Siffert Chronomatic. OK so it was just over a week ago
: but something of that magnitude transcends time itself.
: - Add some comedy, a spat here and there and even an offer of a
: book deal to round it all off. This forum is healthier than ever
: and its content certainly continues to delight, entertain and
: educate all in one place. Thanks to all the contributors who
: made this week so special.

: It seems hard to beat all that so I can just add a touch more in
: the way of a recent series of pictures of some military Heuers.
: I don’t have a particular interest in military history or
: military watches but I do like something a little unusual when
: it comes to collecting and these do fit that bill. The list of
: Heuer’s military watches and customers I know of includes the
: following: Argentina & Israel (various manual wind and auto
: Autavia), Germany (1550 SG, Chronosplit), Norway (1550 G), Italy
: (510.543), Angola (Carrera 110.573 B), Jordan (Carrera 3147N
: Dato) and Belgium (unique manual Carrera 30). I have also read
: that they supplied Chile, the Royal Navy and French Navy but
: these are unconfirmed and I have not seen any examples. Please
: feel free to add to the list.
