WristScan Friday 3rd of March starts now!
Friends, After last week's epic Black dial theme, this week will be Free theme - Please post what ever you feel like or wear... Wishing you all a great week end! Best Blomman PS. Yes, it was cold to dive in......
Free Theme - So I will go with a recent pair I made...
Both with a Swedish connection. One military, one civilian. One with black dial, one with white... One with the Swedish tell on the dial.... One with the Swedish tell on the back! Swedish market: Omega Officer and Omega Suverän HAGWE Blomman ...
I lov this watch.
Next time you plan on jumping into a frozen lake I'll hold it for you.
Now this one I've never seen :)
Did not know you were a modern Rolex fan, too. Very cool picture. Ice fishing?
Ice bathing...!
Rolex, only a hand full... Not my favourite brand... But impossible to ignore as a watch fan! Best Blomman
My free theme compliance....
does not involve jumping into the freezing pond but rather illustrates an everyday love for my Sinn 657 . Thank you for this opportunity Blomman. Best Regards Edward ...
Jumping into frozen sea is optional! ;)
I much prefer a Sinn, a good orange and a warm car! Best Blomman
I can't believe you took the jump.....
for me it would be the last day of my life, I am way too fragile, but a watch and a warm seated car to get you to and from your destination is a much needed luxury Especially to get you to and from your favorite watch AD . Cheers Edward.
Judging by the longevity.....
of the people who do that it works very well. Sadly it is not for every one! Did you do both the jump and the sauna with a watch on your wrist? If so which one? Cheers Blomman, Edward.
You are a good candidate for sticking to a watch for a longer period of time :)
And with the Sinn one can see why! Especially like the orange shot
I just finished going through an Omega and JLC .....
sites among other ones I browse regularly, and I must say KMII the list of watches in waiting is endless no pressure from my peers whatsoever. Cheers Edward
It's a choice in my case.....
"fate" seems to be beyond your control. There is a time for everything, priorities, priorities, priorities. Best my friend KMII, Edward
Wonderful vintage Omegas to start this Free Theme W/S dear Blomman!!...
... I wish you´ll have a wonderful week end my friend! Best cordial regards, Abel
Thank you dear Abel!
Yes, a nice couple of Omegas is a good start for the WE! All the best, my friend Blomman
Here I am with you....
The size and the mirror reflection in the numbers is just awesome! Best Blomman
Are these fresh?
Seems like your Omega collection has grown since visiting Vienna Great pieces, both!
Thank you! Yes, new since Vienna...
In Vienna only a few went along for the ride..! Best Blomman
I now understand why you started the competition! ;)
It was to distract everyone else from buying new watches! I.e. mor for you! Great looking one. Congrats! Best Blomman
One of my favourite cars from my youth
I was lucky enough in 1979 to have a client that lent me a SM for a weekend thankfully with a full tank of petrol because with the massive triple carbs it drank like a fish and went like the wind and I still have really great memories of my time with it. ...
Not too bad these days...
Most of the issues of back in the day have been sorted in the meantime
You set fire to this thread with your 2nd pic !
Very very cool, I like it a lot, very well done my friend !
Hum... I don't know how this should be understood...
Your wife on fire...! I would not dare making any comment... But the pic is definitely great !
Very apt choice!
As a Dutchman any other colour of the Senator Sixties Square would be somewhat wrong Very much like the line and you make great pictures of it!
Another recent one from me
Not a pair here but flexible to some degree A nice weekend to all, Dogu ...
Superb!! Such a cool watch!! I love it!!...
... each time I view this watch I feel I need one badly!! Hagwe Dogu!
Doxa has done a fantastic job with this tribute
Great pictures, too! Still on a fence whether to get it (I don\'t dive, so it would hardly ever see its natural environment)
As usually...
Fellow Purists are not helping with trying to curb the habit of getting too many watches
Thanks Blomman - free-style is good-style. I call this one "B-2000 on 630 hp"...
...with the romantic thought that a "wrist scan" should somehow involve a wrist.... Cheers, HSTE ...
You are absolutely correct!
I will add a ws! B-2000 on 630 hp.... That is a great title for a song! HAGWE Blomman
Still with my Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter.
But there is one which I will certainly wear just after the contest... ...
Yes, yes... I find the experience very interesting. I already wore, when I got it, this Chrono for a whole month.
And now, for a longer time than that... The feeling is strong. And very pleasant... And bit dangerous, too. Best, my friend. Nicolas
quality issue.....
....500 bad wives would be worse than 1 great wife. ....500 Ford Focus would be worse than one Ferrari 250 GTB It all depends. 500 Casio versus one Rose Gold Geophysic? It all depends......
everything is relative with numbers.....
.....then 500 Geophysic is STILL worse than just one 250 GTB
Well said Nicolas! Admire your internal strength! ;) ...
... I wonder when this trial will end! Lol! Hagwe my friend!
Gosh.
Great pics and I now very much want to go somewhere sunny, grab a coffee and read a book...
The more I see your 6542, the more...
...I think of the one I posted few days ago... The price tag was "ouch ça pique fort" but it was so f...ing nice !!! Absolutely crazy nice ! If the price would have been a bit lower I think I would have gone for it...
So how many of you are still in?
With the 1858 one can certainly stay \'loyal\' for a very, very long time
reminders that i still need to rotate
Hi Just some shots trying to remind myself there's still some need for rotation. HAGWE JML ...
Agreed.
Particular the large movement makes macro photos much easier relative to other watches.
Thanks Alkiro.
Whilst the movement doesn\'t initially have the same \'pop\' as say Lange movements, the more I examine it the more I\'m impressed.
I do not have a Dato.
But lucky enough to own it\'s cousin (1815 chrono) :P Indeed, the two make a great combo for me!
1815 chrono and Dato same movement / base if I don't mistake...
...except the date module obviously. Both absolutely wonderful and keepers if... you have the right wrist for it. I had both (one after the other, not together ) and had no other choice but to let them go with immense sadness but I could not wear them bec...
You're absolutely right Mike. Slight differences... but we know both that small differences make all the difference ;-)
Sad to hear that those both timepieces not fitted your wrist well :-( The 1858 is bigger so you\'re right again I don\'t know if it could fit your wrist well too (a little bit too big for my wrist too). May be you already tried Nicola\'s one? Best wishes ...
C'est la vie ! But don't worry I have other options to bring me a lot of pleasure also...
...some that you already know, and some that I am finalizing shortly... HAGWE, Mike
Wonderful salmon dial and condition, and these leaf hands...
...are so delicate they match perfectly with the 96. I don't know what happened with your recent post about your 96 but I tried and could never open it. Probably a technical problem ... Glad that I can congratulate you here for this superb acquisition Mik...
Hi Mike
Thanks for your kind words. Yes perfect match between salmon dial and steel I recognized the problem in PP Forum yesterday. I can't open my own post until now LOL Anyway, thanks again Mike, HAGWE my friend
Red on Green
Still love this combination, but I think I am going to switch back to red on black. Have a great weekend gents. GEO ...
Thank you, but you're too kind
Here at the forum I see such a cool watches and shots. GEO
Lovely watch, lovely combination. Superb shot!
I like those straps so much!! Hagwe Geo! Abel
Brilliant - bold but so cool!
Not for the retiring kind but a true cherry on the cake
Wheather was good today in the "Ruhrgebiet"
So I took the sun watch for a little drive with nice Music.
Sometimes I get a good feeling.... ;)
Are you listening to Etta while driving or you are going to listen Etta in Düsseldorf? Cheers D
Since you have Omega..
I have Omega Still on without participating in contest HAGWE D ...
Sympathy suffering...?
Just because others suffer, there is no reason for you to do the same! Best Blomman
Hmmm...
Here we go! Waiting for the weekend Minerva Pythagore... Celebrating carnival virtually with the Grand Seiko SBGH035... And a cute snowman looking at snatching my Minerva Pythagore away - I can feel its desire in the beady little eyes. And I'm sad to say ...
Really like that Minerva, elegant balance, yet also an absolutely up-to-date dial.. My fav is the cool last shot, including snowman !
You please need to take the Pythagore with you, when we see each other next time - truly cute piece ! Best & HAGWE !
Will bring it with next time :)
A lovely watch for sure - too bad they have grown so much in the meantime...
Weekend choices...
looking forward to the weekend and especially Saturday where we expect sun and 17 degrees, so first signs of Spring! Choices for the weekend are: My latest arrival of course, the GP Richeville Day/Night alongside the vintage GP (7571) that is the longest ...
Lookinf forward to see more shots of your Day/Night!
Perfect preparation for the weekend! Best Blomman
Thanks Padj
this one is very simple, was dirt cheap, but has all it takes, perfect proportions and no nonsense at all.
I was convinced in viewing this Richeville this weekend for the WS. Don't know why ;-)
And she already found new friends! Best wishes Alkiro
For those who do not understand the German words in the book (2nd pic).
Its about women underwear. Hmmm
:) The Book is a 1920ies Novel
Kaesebier erorbert den Kurfuerstendamm, written by Gabriele Tergit. Not sure there is an English translation, was kind of a lost novel and recently replublished.
Aahh, one of my absolute CC-favs, the Crosshair, which I had real pleasure to handle.. Superb tropical facetted dial on the other ! :))
Guess, I really need to hunt more energetically the crosshair - what Ref., if I may ask ? But I also know, patience is a necessary virtue, when on the lookout.. Thx for this stimulating share, Cheers & Best, hs
Yep.. So that you don't forget, if you ever part from her, or if you find a 2nd one, I would be there with pleasure..
Meanwhile wear in the Best of health ! Cheers, hs
Thanks KMII, correct, had the PG for many years but parted from it last year
with the plan to hunt the Steel.
Let me play with my TTDSA US Version ...
Team, This watch was hard to find (I choose initially the EU version), but it was worth the hunt: This is a case where the excess of text on the dial don't annoy me. A B&W shot A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
The text on the dial is a part of its DNA!
But I find that I don't play with the alarm as much as on other Memovoxes... Best Blomman
As a matter of fact ...
I never ever use the alarm on any Memovoxes! When I need an alarm, I use the one on my iPhone. Cheers, Nilo
But ...
I'm a 3rd word born and resident, meaning that there's no blood on my veins. Cheers, Nilo
I particularly love the composition of your second shot. Very nice
Best wishes Alkiro
No, I'm not going to look at this picture, I'm not going to look at that watch...
Damn.... it's super-nice.
I got to see this in the metal for the first time on Wed.
Awesome watch - I\'m a big fan of this and the \'normal\' FOIS.
Sooo coool !.. Nice to know, we share another Reference here !.. Splendid shot BTW, almost needless to say ! Cheers ! :))
2998 greetings from house to house ! Best & HAGWE ! hs ...
So you have one, too?
Definitely one of the most popular acquisitions at PuristSPro in 2016. Great job from Omega
This is a most beautiful variant of ...
... the Speedy and I feel many colleagues (me included) have already fell under the haunting song of this horological mermaid! May be it is time for a roll call at the Omega forum? Wonderful watch for this week end my dear Hs! I really love this watch! Ha...
It's still "black dial" theme this weekend, right?
No! It's a free theme! We'll just call this "German Engineering". A great weekend to all! ...
Incredible pieces and awesome pics.
The BMW is seconding as an expensive watch case here...!
This name suits you quite well actually my friend...
...after the Langematic, here is the Langefanatic !
;-)
A very egoistic pleasure that I love to share with friends here who are equally sick of the same virus as me
That's the one I meant :)
Even when it leaves the lease its longevity will be less...
ok...ok... if anything goes, then we ll bring out the gimp
Rolex submariner 1680/8 tropical in crazy condition ...
The condition of this watch is just stunning!
Now you only need to find a correct buckle.... Best Blomman
That is a 1970s buckle...
Originally looking like this: In the 1950s JLC had unsigned buckles looking like this: It is all in the details.... Best Blomman ...
Langefanatic but also Futurematic
That one in steel is simply top classy, so understated and discrete but GREAT for the one who is in the know a watch for connoisseur !
Second Futurematic this week...
A truly great watch, that one You have lovely in-laws to give you such a nice watch!
Hmmhh, my dear friend !.. You seem to be be a real winter Samurai !.. Brrr !.. Ok, here my few chip-ins.. ;))
On a nice winter stroll, no snow here in town anymore.. Explorer 1655, Orange & Straight hand Explo II (1655) & Explo I, gilt (6610) Cheers & HAGWE to all ! hs ...
Another week another WS yet still the same watch for me, when will it end if ever?
Hi all just another couple of pictures of my current favourite watch and one showing off its ultra slim profile which is just another thing I love about this watch. Marc ...
You could be right and yes
Hi Padj I think that would be a good bet if you could find someone to take it and I don't intend to disappoint you. Yes amanico it is my contest watch and a watch I really believe is The One for me. Marc
Hello dear Blomman!! May I play this week end with my...
... first entry in the World of Lange? I had always admired this German brand and knew that sooner or later a Lange would arrive to my collection. I also felt that the Lange 1 design is a superb sample of the philosophy of design of this brand and just on...
There is no way to avoid falling in love!
And your photographs do this marvel justice.
Thank you my dear friend HS!! So glad you like my...
lange and appreciate your kind comments! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Congratulations again my dear Abel for this one
I\'m pretty sure this GL1 won\'t be your last Lange. When you feel the power of the Glashütte house, you can\'t resist ;-) I particularly love your B&W shot very opportunely with this livery. Enjoy your honey moon period with this new timepiece. HAGWE my ...
Thank you so much dear Alkiro for your always so kind...
... comments! Agree with you and also hope this won't be my only Lange! Such a fine brand!! Hagwe my friend!! Cheesrs! Abel
Really nice choice Abel
Your pics are really great and show the best of your L1 but because a good friend just bought the same one recently, I know that in the metal it really pops and brings a WOW effect that no pic can catch. Big congrats again !
Hello Mike! Thank you for your kind compliments! Completely agree with you that this watch looks so beautiful in the metal and that no pictures...
... Can catch that beauty as a whole! I wish your friend is enjoying his as much as I do! Hagwe! Abel
Looking to take a photo for the Wristscan this week...
I noticed that I was not the only one in the house with a collection... My wife's perfume collection... HAGWE! ...
I always get stunned by the beauty of this dial!
He, he - so you are allowed one watch per flask...?! Best Blomman
My entry of the week..
I did not hesitate at all when I saw this one, it was love at first sight. A nice patina for dial hands fuschia insert just as I love it for this 1971 young lady in great shape... HAGWE to all, Mike ...
Thanx my friend. Actually I had a first operation end of Jan. That went wrong...
...and then a second one to repair what went damaged in the first one. I now hve to wait another 6 weeks approximately so as to know if my right hand is saved. I ave big hopes but nothing guaranteed at this stage... If ok Hurrah ! If not I shall still hav...
Not comparable to some of the exceptional beauties that some have posted but...
...a simple beautiful 1675 which drives me mad thanks to its condition and patina, the vintage as we love it
Duperb example of GMT Mike! I love when...
... bezel red turns fuschia!! That's a magical touch! I wish you a fast recovery of your hand! Hagwe!! Abel
Many thanks Abel for your kind words for both...
...for both my 1675 and your kind health wishes
It's the Jacob & Co.
Astronomia Tourbillion Octopuss... a piece unique with a micro sculpture in titanium (for weight purposes) and covered in gold.
