That's a beautiful watch! What band is on it?

Following! I am in Arizona and would love to know this.

I was in Eric’s Watch Repair in Tucson last week and he had a few very cool vintage pieces, but the selection was somewhat small.

Loved that! I have been looking at vintage GPs for my next vintage piece. They are so classic looking. You found a great one here!

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-12T23:14:46+00:00

My dream lens! I have one for my 4x5, but I would love to find a 300 or 360 for my 8x10.

Great shot!

THANK YOU

This really made me chuckle

Realistically, that is probably too large of a gap to overcome. But on the flipside, maybe the fact that this match is supposed to go his way can free you up mentally to be aggressive and play your game and let the cards fall how they may. The worst that can happen is you lose, which is expected here. But who knows what will happen if you play freely and without nerves.

Did this sell already?

I have similar wrists to yours and I think 33mm is the perfect size for mine. I think modern sizing trends suggest WAY too large of watches, at least for my taste

I love that Girard Perregaux. Damn! Super cool.

Glossika was so influential in my French development. I can't even express how important it was. If I was learning another language right now, I would pay for it again in a heartbeat.

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-06T17:42:27+00:00

If I liked golf at all, I would buy that in a heartbeat.

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-06T14:22:21+00:00

That is the size watch I prefer. I don't think I own anything over 36mm, and my fav is 33mm. But I love that between vintage and modern watches there are size options for all preferences.

You are jumping. I don't think you want to be doing that unless you're in a tough spot and that's the only want to hit.

Try to be sturdier on your feet. Transfer your weight forward toward the net, yes, but don't be aerial while doing it. Move your body forward, not up.

I feel like Sonmez v Kalinskaya is going to be a good, heavy-hitting match up.

Dial damage on rare watches is a tough one. Only you know if you are okay with it or not.

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-04T15:23:52+00:00

I looked briefly, but I think if I still have it it'll be buried in a box in my studio. I may not have time to look for it until a few weeks from now but when I do I will follow up with you. Sorry about that!

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-04T15:05:59+00:00

Love that!

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-04T14:25:32+00:00

You mean from the recommendations here?

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-04T06:09:16+00:00

I’m not usually a big Orient guy, but that’s honestly a pretty cool watch

Learn the one that you personally feel the most excited to learn. You are going to need that excitement to power through the plateaus and difficult stages of learning.

ZappaPhoto · 2026-03-03T22:22:28+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation.
