Wristscan for week #37 is starting now!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-07:53
Dear Purists, here goes my wristscan premiere - and as announced earlier this week, the theme is 'free'. Looking forward to a raft of interesting pieces, in places and situations of your choosing (food is optional but not to be discouraged). If you would ...
Raw meat? ;)
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:01
Thanks Padj! Looking forward to yours, fully heat treated
Do I not recognise both from Zagreb?
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:45
Wonderful shots, Padj! And I have to say that the Foudroyante looks almost WG in some pictures - interestingly done As for food - maybe I will regret my own gentle hints - especially since there is no more food scheduled for today (and since I anticipate ...
Thank you, my friend.

The 1815 did not accompany me on my world tour in June. It's actually been in hiding since February.
Well, I guess...
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:28
I prefer a fully working brain if I must choose. But best to keep both
I think you chose wisely.
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-12:54
There are glasses for the eyes but none for the brain! But yes, better to keep them both.
So let's make sure...
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-21:41
We drink grappa and not the industrial cleaner we got sample last time in Zagreb, so as to protect both brain and eyesight
Shutting down the factory for the day, K? May I torture you . . .

Wonderful!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:11
As I will not lose weight as suddenly as my wife soon will, I need to prepare more thoroughly - i.e. by skipping dinner. Not easy but helpful, especially as it means I eat lunch each day now Your late breakfast does look truly delicious, though. As does t...

Well put :)

One day...
Thank you, Henrik!
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-09:37
It is definitely a cool GP!
Very nice.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : September 14th, 2017-11:20
A welcome change.
As said...
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-13:59
We shall definitely find the opportunity for a rerun
Thanks, Georges.
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-12:55
The flying saucer has been getting a lot of wrist action so it was time to break out something else.
Whoa, Daddy!
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-08:11
Did you just get this?!
;) [nt]
By: crown comfort : September 14th, 2017-08:46
Big congrats!
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-09:38
It's very special!
Brilliant!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:46
Is your EoT brand new, or what Nico likes to call a 'crocodile watch' - i.e. a piece you have had for a while but hidden away from prying eyes? At any rate a very nice one it is and a great choice! Thanks
That is super cool.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : September 14th, 2017-11:21
Congratulations and wear it in great health.
Nice GP :-)
By: RG1 : September 16th, 2017-06:24
Enjoy it with good health
I just corrected that 😉
By: Alkiro1 : September 14th, 2017-08:54
A wrong cut and past. I had to pay my watchmaker for a service. Best wishes Alkiro
You did well 😉
By: Alkiro1 : September 14th, 2017-09:07
Best wishes Alkiro
Bummer.
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-09:39
I missed it.
Well...
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:49
You do have two wrists after all, so sacrificing one for that watch is a price worth paying, no?
Fully?
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-09:10
Or do you like believing that Only joking, of course
Great photos, Henrik.
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-08:31
The first two were to be expected, i guess, but this last one is crazy! The watch just jumps out of the computer screen!
Thanks for playing, Henrik!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:48
I suppose the second one will be a matter of days (or I hope so for you) and the other two are close behind? Great and very diverse trio you have shown
Really excellent!
By: TheMadDruid : September 14th, 2017-08:32
Glad this one has gotten posted this weekend.
'The GP is strong with this Wristscan'
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:50
A wonderful 1945 - so romantic and easily compensating for the somewhat reduced legibility with its sensual appeal. Great choice, Brauner! And food, too - well done
You said it :)
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:16
If one cannot beat them, join them?
Cool shot!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-08:54
And your text reminded me of one of my favourite sayings of my daughter these days (from Bubble Guppies) about the Secret of the Sphinx. What is the secret of the sphinx then? Nobody knows. I guess it can only be cute and fun if a three year old does this...
Two great entries, HS111!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:19
Of two watches I truly like. While we already share an ABR, I still need to get the MIH at some point 👍🏻 Have a great weekend!
The MIH looks wonderful
By: jml_watches : September 14th, 2017-15:53
really like how it's simple appearance belies what it does. Cheers JML
My resolution is wavering...
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:23
With the menu on offer by you - I'll happily postpone skipping dinner for a long time! The Lange is a star for sure but so are all the other ones

KMII, First of all, congratulations for your first WristScan as Moderator. A watch that I seldom wear: JLC Master Compressor GMY Chronograph Ceramic: Big but nice on the wrist: A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
That watch is positively electric!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-12:26
The blue is truly stunning, especially in combination with the ceramic. Thank you so much for your kind words, Nilo
Very very nice JLC 👌🏻
By: Watchonthewrists : September 14th, 2017-12:35
That first shot is a winner for me imo 🤗
I hope so 😉

The alternative strap for the P15. Fits quite well, I guess
That's a spectacular effort!
By: KMII : September 14th, 2017-14:05
Not only are the watches exquisite but you managed to pair each one with food, too 👌🏻👍🏻 Would be interested to learn more about the Staudt - seen it on IG but not much more. As for your DB - got some nice memories of that one 😊 Thanks for that 'different'...
Now I'm hungry with these Pavlova and burgers 🤤
By: Alkiro1 : September 14th, 2017-14:08
And what about your timepieces. So so cool! This Staudt is impressive 😳 First time I see one 👍 What an entry my friend. Hats off to you! Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you my friend 🤗
By: Watchonthewrists : September 14th, 2017-14:22
I needed to do something ,,extra,,because you raise the bar so high for all other participants 😉 . Staudt is just a nice small company from holland with a Very kind and driven owner Ivo Staudt .
Had to investigate Staudt . . .
By: Dr No : September 14th, 2017-14:16
. . . after seeing your post. I'd never heard of them before. Very much to my liking; movement finishing is reminiscent of the Hamilton 921 movement . . . . . . in my long-departed RGM. Art ...
Difficult to dissect the reasons eight years on, K, but basically . . .
By: Dr No : September 15th, 2017-08:24
. . . it boiled down to my perception of its case design . . . a little more angularity and matte surfacing, and it probably would've passed muster. The movement view was the whole shebang; the rest, uninspiring. Funny thing is, it's roughly the same dime...
Thanks for clarifying, Art :)
By: KMII : September 15th, 2017-08:29
I did vaguely remember something of the sort. I hope there is no such experience with your current Railmaster
Still have 'em, Nicolas! . . .
By: Dr No : September 16th, 2017-01:02
. . . and yes, the dial isn't exactly mesmerizing. This one's all about the rear view. Not just the movement , which I find delectable, but also the way it's packed into the case with not a millimeter to spare. Art ...
So close, though...
By: KMII : September 16th, 2017-01:14
Just does not fully gel in practice. Wearing it Reverso style might help, though
All very cool.
By: TheMadDruid : September 15th, 2017-05:56
Especially the Staudt. This is nice find.

I knew you would provide some spectacular pictures Abel - as always
By: KMII : September 15th, 2017-07:12
The Oris Diver Sixtyfive is a great watch and a very fair offer in many ways. While I am fully with you in terms of the date - at least the original from the 1960s had one too - there was no no-date precedent. And it is much more pleasantly integrated on ...

You're welcome, Abel!
By: KMII : September 15th, 2017-11:33
