Christmas Presents - What Did You Get?

[SSTEEL]

Seeing as its a little quiet in here, obviously due to everyone enjoying the festive season, I want to know what you all got for Christmas?

 

I'm guessing socks, and smelly's?

 

I got some pink slippers, I kid you not.!  They are **BLEEP** comfy though :)

Suits you sir! :-)

I wasn't Nearly so lucky, all I goit was a Horotec case opener, a set of screwdrivers and the DVD "The Watchmakers Apprentice".

Joking aside, the DVDS is brilliant!

[SSTEEL]

I'll have to look that up Geo.

[SSTEEL]

Ah its that one, I watched the series of interviews Roger did with George.

The same DVD as Geo, a bottle of very fine Pinot Noir to go with the goose, some Molecule O2 fragrance, and:

You got to be a man to wear pink

[SSTEEL]

No!

 

Ah, I get a malware warning when I try to visit that link you posted Geo.

 

Yes, Pink is the new black :P

[clockboy]

Just a snapshot of my Xmas / Birhday 2014.  Apart from new slippers (not PINK), socks this pretty well sums up where my life is at present.

The Willfly album is what me & the wife call an add on

P.s well worth a listen guys of you like good music.

That's odd, it was the same link that Lawson posted and it worked fine for me. :-/

I didn't get any presents.  But I've been blessed enough this year.

 

But I restored a CYMA Maystar with a lovely R-806 Movement in it for my Dad for Christmas.

Came up are real treat too.

 

[SSTEEL]

That is indeed a lovely looking movement.

I got....(considering I broke a tool and it was replaced with a nice surprise from the wife who footed the bill!, and a brother-in-law who received one of my rebuilt watches and loves it and made a contribution too):

 

 

and a polo shirt and + Adidas cologne gift pack...but thpse are not important pictures (although they are important presents for me!)

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

For me I was spoilt with an iPad Air 2.

My wonderful wife bought me a Seiko Military watch, two Crown & Buckle NATO straps, Worn and Wound leather strap and watch roll. I only have a picture of the watch and leather strap but I'll post a picture of the rest later tonight.

My beautiful wife, knowing my penchant for large watches, bought me this automatic Ingersoll Bison:

 

And no, it's not designed to be worn on the right wrist - it is indeed for the left wrist, but the "works" are all pointing "uphill" so they don't jam into the back of the hand when the wrist is dorsiflexed. Very comfortable.

 

Each time somebody asks me what the BRB (Big Red Button) is for , I reply simply "BOOM".  It is actually used when setting times, dates, etc on the mini dials. I also told one intrigued admirer that the lever (the crown protector) was actually a flip-open secret brandy flask built into the back of the watch - and he believed me for a second or two! ;)

 

[SSTEEL]

Some cracking presents guy, I'm impressed.  

 

That Horotec pusher tool is on my list to get in 2015.

[SSTEEL]

I have that case holder you got Geo, pain in the **BLEEP** I find, it keeps rolling over on me due to its base being as it is.

[clockboy]

Looks like we all have been lucky boys. Good old Santa

[bobm12]

Santa must be into watches too, no doubt! :)

I've yet to try it out Micky, I'll let you know how I get on. :-)

That is one "Beast" of a watch Doc, the crown arrangement reminds me of a safety valve on a high pressure steam boiler.

No probs with supination and pronation then? :-)

@Geo: Just today I broke one tooth of the jaxa that came in Christmas. It is supposed to work with the "Rolex" back press as an attachment. The reason is those 2 watches that have apparently rusted inside the threads (or the gasket has melted or something). In any case, I'm out of options to open them.

 

In fact, I was thinking about a really heavy duty back opener and the horotec popped up in my mind....now with what Micky said, I'm a little reticent as to spend the money in that tool. I'll be very grateful to hear a full report from you on that one!

 

 

@Doc: Pete, that is really a big watch and beautiful. I bet it was made so people didn't have to use glasses to read it! Perfect at my age!. Congratulations on a great present.
