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

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.

One on the best things about this hobby, and this community and forum, is that when we are busy with other things, then we can drift away, and there is no real pressure to participate. When we again have time to engage, the community is there waiting, and we are able to kick up the action again, and get back into the flow of things.

So I don't worry when the traffic goes down a little . . . we all need a break from time to time.

This community is at an all-time high, with great collectors, amazing watches, informative discussions, strong prices . . . and it is all getting better, day-by-day-by-day!!

Thanks to everyone for everything!!

: 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.

: 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.
