Yep! Through Sunnyside (pic 1) to Astoria (pic 2).

 

Dinner at Piccola Venezia last night.

 

Finished the evening at Astoria Park, ill-equipped, no cigar. Funny how things change, lots of 20 somethings smoking h00ka (perfectly legal I don’t know why it was automatically edited) on the waterfront.

From my collection. Rare Pre-Explorer 6098 with original gold gilt dial. Circa 1952.

She’s an absolute stunner. Wear it it good health, my friend!

So many nice watches posted. There is some debate on whether it's an actual vintage or not, maybe a 'Frankenwatch'. Either way, I purchased because I enjoy all things Habanos related that has a logo.

She’s been off my wrist just twice in 2 years: a trip to Cuba and a week of poison oak.

I have an Aqua Terra too, but an earlier version (2007 model). Now that I no longer have a desk job, I find it harder to find an opportunity to wear it.

Like to spice things up a bit sometimes - currently wearing my Big Pilot Petit Prince in the summer sun. Just love the 7 day power reserve, the amazing wearing comfort the watch has despite is size, the overall legibility that the pilot design provides, and of course the nice blue dial ?

Gorgeous!

How well does it keep time? 

[farfo]

The watch keeps time to about 10 seconds per day.  Not bad even by today’s standards for a non-chronometer mechanical watch. My company buys and sells vintage watches, but we also service them to make sure they function properly.

Very nice. I bet you have more to show us...

Yes.  I've seen a number of these 'vintage' watches available at the flea market in Havana.

Based in the USA.  It wasn't my intent to advertise but you can see my vintage watches at timeplex.com and farfo.com

Have always wanted a Big Pilot @Kongelunden ...nice piece. To my eye the lines/look on many IWCs and Rolex just seem perfect and the Big Pilot is like IWC on steroids. 

I have the Portuguese Automatic, however, and always felt like having both was just too much overlap. Though I could say the PA is more of a dress watch while the BP could be more casual, esp if I swapped to a rubber band. Always thought that could be cool.

The IWC PA is such a beautiful and elegant watch  I was actually contemplating the PA when purchasing my BP, but vent with the BP in the end for the same reason you mention - it being a bit more 'casual' than the PA (and the fact that my large wrists actually can carry the size of the BP ).

But the PA just oozes elegance..........so beautiful

This has been my daily driver for 3 years. Absolutely love it.
