I didnt know you could buy an automatic Guess?

*gets coat* :albino:

It's 2824-2. One of the base gold plated ones. :P

Costume jewellery. Ouch!!!
Nope. :D
I've no clue, but I do like this kind of slow reveal!
/vince ..
From the first pic, the caseback engraving looks to be "...WA...AVIN..." or similar.
No ideas tho!
Cheers,
Guy :)
Judging by the finishing of the movement, I reckon it is an Omega. Don't know which model though!

Very close on the letters - only one off! I'll post more when I get a fedex tracking number and know arrival date - don't want to give too much in one day. . .
Is this like that Jamaica joke...... you know the two guys stood at the urinals and the english bloke says to the jamaican, oh look have you got a girlfriend called wendy as well - the jamaican replies, no, why? Englishman says well i noticed you have Wendy tatooed on your Penis.
The jamaican laughs and says no, it doesn't say Wendy, it says "WelcomE to Jamaica have a nice day" :D
............ thought not :lol: just an idea as we are all guessing at what it may or may not be.

But why is the Englishman looking at another man's linus while at the urinal? Remind me to use a stall when I am next in England. :twisted:
My guess . . .
a 5'7" blonde with a thick accent.
Haven't got a clue.
But the finishing looks very nice.
Limes?

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Pulsar chrono from Argos?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
It's a swiss made automatic Sniclemucker from the famous Snicle family, they started making Toblerone but the patent was stolen in 1904 so they went on to make water resistant watches.
If you show any other kind of watch your cheating!!!
Well Fedex did it again - despite a scheduled delivery date of today - the watch is in Stockholm. When I asked why it was in Sweden (which is not on the way) they said it had been routed through Norway, then to Sweden. I then asked why again and they said they had no idea. :roll:
Sooo, they are hoping to get it to me tomorrow.
Here is the last hint:
IWC Portofino?????

Christopher Ward?
I initially thought Bremont as that back engraving is similar, but that last photo made me think not.
Nope and Nope. :mrgreen:
It's an Alpha.
What is Alpha?
Mont Blanc by any chance?
No - but based on the photo, not a bad guess. Fedex says it will be delivered tomorrow after spending some time in Paris. i wish i was as well traveled as this watch. :evil:
Still no clue .. but I hope your, well travelled, watch is with you soon; so that I can be put out of my misery! :lol:
Cr*p!
/vince ..
Well, I think it's official - I'm never getting this watch. Fedex has figured out another way to delay. Apparently, despite paying extra money to fedex for their reliable customs broker agents, they didn't get some of the correct forms into customs, so it's now been delayed at the border. AND, my customs case agent is out of the office today. :evil:Still no clue .. but I hope your, well travelled, watch is with you soon; so that I can be put out of my misery! :lol:
Cr*p!
I think it's karma for these ridiculous unveils... :twisted:
Bad luck mate, hope it gets to you soon so we can see what the thing is!
It's likely karma for much worse :twisted:
Fedex now tells me they don't know why they have held it up before submitting it to customs because everything seems to be in order. :roll: I can say, the shipper has been excellent, they have been doing everything they can do on their end - these things happen.
Slow reveals blow :lol: :lol: :lol:
I cant believe you bought one of those :shock:
Respect the past, live the present, protect the future
:D
That looks like a JS watch to me 8)
Did you have the rotor engraved?
Here's mine 8)

I've wasted hours trying to identify this one :evil: Thanks MichaF! it's a JS Frisland
Wasted or invested? :mrgreen:
Congrats! I was in doubt whether to buy this one or the 1919 (which I ended up buying). 8)Wasted or invested? :mrgreen:
Now I do like that.............. :headbang:
More pic's please and info
Cheers Lee
that is a shot of my actual watch prior to shipping - I also got a shot of the engraved rotor with my name and serial number. I assume it will look similar when it arrives, but only fedex currently knows that. I will provide more shots and a full review when the watch actually arrives. A receptionist at the fedex customs broker center told me that one of my three assigned agents, who are all in today, but don't feel like returning my calls, submitted the package to customs this afternoon and I will know tonight if in fact I will get it in the morning. Lovely girl.
I really like that. Would you mind me asking how much it was?
Cheers
Like all JS Watches: ISK210000 :)
Yes that is nice so congrats in advance( for whenever it actually arrives :lol: )
While i know very little about JS watches i have seen two reviews of them and they do appear to be a real quality and bespoke outfit. The quality and detail look top notch. Just goes to show that there are some really good outfits that are not omega/breitling/rolex and are even cooler because of that as well :twisted:
Could they be the next Stowa ( in terms of huge increase in sales due to watch fora exposure)
Ock
Thats about 1700 euro or 1300 gbp - so not bad at all in my book.Like all JS Watches: ISK210000
I don't know how it works everywhere, but I also got to subtract 20% of that price as VAT. :bounce:
I'll have a bunch of hi-res photos up as soon as i can.
20%? Islandic VAT is 15% :? At least I got 15% back as I exported the watch from Iceland (and paid 19% German VAT afterwards :evil: ) 8)I don't know how it works everywhere, but I also got to subtract 20% of that price as VAT. :bounce:
