It is August and the Olympics are underway - which means lots of time spent in front of the telly. As it were, it turned out to be a full-on pilot weekend for a slow Sat morning lounging at home, an evening movie, and watch-talk with a few forummers on a Mark XI, and toying with some photography while watching the badminton finals...
what weekend wrist buddies did u hang out with ?
An old photo, but still wearing over this weekend to time Team GB successes!
Hi Shing,
Great photos (as always)!
Are my eyes deceiving me or is that a Pilot with ardoise dial on the right side?
Thursday to Saturday I was around South Africa, enjoying the dry african winter, and I took my AT for the ride... Oh, and my family too... :-)
Cheers!
David - yes Team GB is doing well ! It was Super-Saturday wasn't it ? Looking forward to see how Sunday is. Btw, your ref 3706 is on my wish list too - I am hoping to secure a German dial ref 3706.
Jeronimo, the extreme right one is the Patrouille Suisse ref 3717-14, do check out the official broadcast, and Andrew's post - he was the first to pick it up - grey dial, sandblasted steel casing:

Thanks Shing, I thought it was... I just love it!
And with that grey leather strap... Amazing!
Cheers!

Hi Shing, yes Team GB won 6 golds plus a few others on Saturday. Today (Sunday) won a gold and silver in sailing, plus Andy Murray is playing Roger Federer, so another silver at least. Pleased to know you like the 3706 and it's been super reliable.
Hi Shing, great pics.
I was yesterday at my local AD wearing a number of IWCs:
Still wearing this one almost exclusively,
Started August with a Gold ! My white gold VC Ing - One can appreciate the sunburst dial in the second shot.
Ref IW323304.
I'm wearing a VC ingenieur to start off my August. This one will take me into the workweek with subdued style!
AT with a glass of beer:
For the first weekend of August --
A rare moment when the Big Pilot doesn't look all that big next to a monster breakfast...
