Alain Silberstein hands won't help that Kentucky :-)

Sorry Jeff! Great idea though... A

: A few weeks ago, Jason Heaton had in interesting posting on Gear
: Patrol, called “ Building the Hypothetical “Perfect” Watch
: ”. Jason considered his favorite watches, to select the
: favorite dial (AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver), favorite Hands
: (Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Master Co-Axial), favorite crown
: (Rolex Triplock), etc.

:
:

: Mercifully, Jason did not use PhotoShop to put all the elements
: together, to actually show us this perfect watch.

: This idea of selecting “favorite elements” seems like an
: interesting concept for a scan day (or a scan weekend). So
: here’s the question: What is your favorite element (or some
: small number of elements) from the world of vintage Heuers (or
: other brands)? You can show us a whole component (case / dial /
: hands) or one particular element (numerals, markers, paint, tips
: of the hands, pushers, etc.) Do you have a favorite case (or
: perhaps even a particular lug or polished surface)? Is there a
: movement that you like, for aesthetic or mechanical reasons)?
: What about the hands – stick / dauphine / military / polished
: / brushed / black / orange / white / cathedral)? Is there a
: favorite bezel? minutes / hours / decompression / GMT? What
: about crystals -- domed or flat? Is there a style of case-back
: that you like? Display / engraving / etc. So get out the
: watches and the camera, and show us some favorite elements of
: the vintage Heuers (or other brands). We can start on Friday,
: November 28, and let it run through Sunday, November 30.

: To inspire your postings, shown below are photos showing some of my
: favorite elements, along with a couple of watches in which
: someone has combined some favorite elements.

: Let’s hope for some interesting postings, starting next Friday,
: the 28th.

: Jeff
