The WS for the 11th of August - ‘Watches and Water’ - is live
As announced on Wednesday, this weekend’s theme is Watches and Water. As summer is coming to a close for most of us, it could be a nice last hurrah 😁 And for those in the currently wintry Southern Hemisphere, snow shots are acceptable, too - water in all its forms counts.
So looking forward to seeing your entries and wishing you a great weekend ahead!

Exciting Theme dear KM! Thank you so much for hosting this weekend. I expect to view many stunning shots from our participants.
I love this theme and will return later with my entry. Have a nice weekend dear KM and all friends here! Cheers, Abel PS: Beautiful opening shot!!
Beautiful vintage Omegas you share Hans!
The Dynamic blue dial is stunning and the Ranchero an old favorite of mine. Lovely SM example you share as well. Hagwe! Abel
Must be a theme made for you, Hans!
The serenity of your shots, the compositions - sublime!
Thank you so much
Living in Denmark it is always close to the water 💦 Also many of my water pictures are taken close to our summer house Best regards Hans
Lovely piece indeed
I really believe Omega was in to something with the first generation Dynamic when it comes to wear comfort and looks Best regards Hans
Thanks so much Abel!
The weekend will be short and eventful unfortunately - first weekend in the new place with hundreds of unpacked boxes. And tomorrow morning embarking on a business trip (my wife is over the moon as you can imagine) 😂🤷🏻♂️ But all on the right path 😊👍🏻 Loo...
OMG dear KM! I can well understand you are going through a complicated weekend. I wish you and your family all the best in your new place and a good business trip for you.
Will be trying to help you with this WS event. Take care and have a safe flight dear friend. Best cordial regards, Abel
Thanks so much for your help Abel 🙏🏻
Much appreciated! Hopefully some normality will return soon 😊🤞🏻 We are on a good way 👍🏻
Excellent theme KMII
Personally I had great ideas for some new watch and water shots this summer but unfortunately the weather had other plans and the times the weather was favourable I was at work. Never mind fingers crossed for a good August/September🤞🏻 Anyhow here’s a sele...
Thank you Derreck
This was an early morning shot whilst walking the dog one weekend. Margot (our dog) was going nuts on the beach while I was photographing. Typical Diva 🤣
Great watches and water shots Kurt.
Shared in beautiful pictures. I’m specially fond of your Pogue Seiko and the moody Tudor shot on the rocks. Enjoy your weekend! Cheers Abel
With an archive like yours…
There can be decades of bad weather summers 😁👍🏻 Really great shots from shore and water both - seems to be a fitting theme 😊

A tough challenge for me as i am not a brave person enough to get close to water with my beloved watches 🤦🏻♂️
Ofcourse there are a few that can take the dip easily 😉 Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗 ...
In spite of not being fond of getting your watches near water…
… you managed so well to get these nice shots of your great selection Watchonthewrists. Thank you so much for sharing!! Hagwe Abel
That’s plenty close…
And the shots are superb! Difficult to choose a favorite although your floatie is simply out of this world 👏🏻👌🏻
Beautiful cosstal shots JML!! The Futurematic and Memomatic…
… are my favorites. Hagwe! Abel
Love the less sunny, rougher coast shots!
While we’ve moved much further from the seaside now, the lakeshore should hopefully compensate and offer some all year round water, too. Great shots as always, JML!
Watches & Water! Exciting combination … here my entry dear KM.

Love the Panerai and Seiko shots..
Great effect you have mastered here Abel. Regards Kurt.
Thank you so much for your too kind comments Kurt!
Glad you like these shots and appreciate your kind compliments! Best cordial regards Abel
Thank you so much dear JML!! Appreciate so much!
I’m happy you like these shots! Best cordial regards Abel
Water in all its glory!
One can see that diving and seaside activities more generally are deeply embedded in your blood, Abel! While the Doxa shot is one of my long time favorites, the breadth and scope of what you show is mind boggling 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you so much dear KM! You are too kind. I´m happy to know you like these shots. I loved your theme so much as I love sea, pool and water and my HD is full of shots around this theme.
I send you my best cordial regards and good wishes my friend. Abel
Thank you so much dear Captain!
Glad you liked the Golden Seiko shot! Best cordial regards Abel
The calmer side of water 💦
Like how your pool shots contrast to what we have seen from others so far this weekend! Many options out there! The ROO really works well in the second picture 👏🏻👌🏻
I've been wearing the vintage version of your Seamaster . . .
. . . since Monday. Photo taken earlier today just south of Big Rock Malibu with the Pacific in the background. Art ...
The original, of course!
Would love to add one someday 🤞🏻 Once the move is settled, I am settled at the new work and watches start getting more airtime again 😂🤷🏻♂️
Beautiful shot in Malibu dear Art. The vintage SM you share is so charming. Black dials have an special charm and being rarer make them special.
Have a nice weekend my friend. Best, Abel
With a slight delay…
Here come some of mine! While water is now much nearer than in the past homes the time for actually going out and taking some fresh shots has been elusive in the last days since we moved. So a combination of archive (some frozen) and two fresh faraway wat...
Thanks a lot - the original (one of the straps that came with)
For when you don’t want to bother the salmon one the watch also comes with 😂👍🏻
Great shots dear KM! I specially love the Doxa in the snow (frozen water!) shot and the Seiko shot as well. The Memovox is a watch I would love to add to my collection. What a nice...
... timepiece which belongs to a recent golden period of JLC. Best cordial regards, Abel
There I fully agree, Abel!
I am very much hoping for some new golden JLC period to come 😊🤞🏻 Thanks for the kind words and comments 🙏🏻
Now that’s a nice variety of water(s) 👍🏻👌🏻
That MoonSwatch looks none too happy in the rain shower 💦😉
You do a better job of selling Breitling in a maritime sphere…
Than their own marketing - bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a great theme
And some great photos already 😀. I love water related watch photos and it’s cool to see so many. So I grabbed my trunks and towel and headed to the beach. Here are a couple of shots from today in the Baltic and some from this year. Today at the beach Murk...
Hello Drek! You share some great and cool shots here. I love those of your Submariner 14060M which is a favorite of mine being the last of a breed before the ceramic bezel series.
Stunning shot of your new version of Air King! Great shot! I´m curious about the bronze watch you show here. I had never seen before. Can you tell us about its brand? A very interesting piece. Enjoy your weekend! Best cordial regards, Abel
Hi Abel
Thanks for looking, the sub is a real favourite of mine I feel that it’s very much a transitional watch with the 4 lines and RRR rehaut, but still keeping the more size traditional case and the insert. Looking at my water shots it’s definitely my beach fa...
Hello Drek! My big pleasure to view and comment your entry. And thanks a lot for your answer...
... The 14060M is also a favorite of mine to take it to beach or pool or for every day wearing. I also love so much the looks of the "pre-ceramic" Submariners. Though I accept the modern Subs are more refined in their making and movement I feel the older ...
Hi Abel
I am yet to try the latest no date sub, but like you I really like the older models, I hope one day to add a 5513 to my collection as I really like the look it has that the plexiglass gives adding another dimension to cool old look. Thanks for you kind wo...
I also own the non date ceramic Sub (40 mm case) and recognize it is a superbly finished watch and with an improved movement... but as beautiful as it is it lacks the charm of the older versions.
Just a personal point of view. The 5513 would be a great addition to your collection. Indeed the plexy and domed crystal adds charm and vintage look to the classic Submariner. My pleasure to comment about Richard watches and we must thank you to call our ...
That’s nice to hear that you also
Have the newer sub, that’s surely the best way to be able to appreciate the benefits of both old and new. I enjoyed also seeing your splash pics again. I think I will have to try some of those, but as I think it might take me a while to get the shot I wil...
Agree with your point Drek. In the comparison of both modern and old versions the new ceramic series surely win technically speaking. The cool looks of the aluminum bezel previous series can´t...
... be replicated though. But this matter only can be appreciated by old timers or vintage watch lovers. New generations of users or collectors will be delighted with the new Submariners no doubt. I´m happy you liked the splash shots. They are easy to rep...
Thank you
Likewise it’s always great to see some of those shots again of yours along the English coast line and the underwater Tudor is just great
Dear KM, I will do my best as I am not much of a water activity guy...😅

Thks Abel!
Not surprised by your choices given your affinity with Doxa and GMTM with black inserts! Have a great weekend!
For someone not being much of a water guy you certainly do a sublime job!
The Doxa angle and Freak shot are freakishly good 😁👍🏻👌🏻
From back in 1968…
That’s a 13-year-old me at the helm of Dad’s Donzi, wearing the Air King he gave to me earlier that month. We were headed out to go fishing from our Long Beach NY home. Those were the days. Dad, the NY home, and the Donzi are gone now. The watch, after 55...
Hi HighEndOne! Beautiful memories around this old Air King. How nice to know you still treasure this watch. Full of nice memories of great time spent with your Dad.
Beautiful post around a watch that´s a keeper for life. Hagwe, Abel
Wow - what an entry 👌🏻👍🏻
This is the most important aspect of our hobby, I guess - the watches are vessels for saving memories, of people and events both. And a great theme to create friendships over 😊👍🏻
Water, water everywhere ! …
Hello dear host and friends ! Watches and water can be a great combo …. But sometimes a little chilly 🥶 … Splash ! … The draw of the ocean … Have s great weekend everyone. Best regards Captain ...
Hello dear Captain!! Agree with you: watches and water can be a great combo. And you show that in your stunning shots. Of course we share the love for Doxa.
Love the water reflexes on your Tudor shot and specially like the stunning chilly shot of your Panerai. Enjoy your weekend my dear friend. Best, Abel
My big pleasure!
I hope it will be a quiet week here… depending results of today elections!!
Lovely shots Captain
I really like the Panerai shot, like a watch porthole starting its descent to the depths 👍
Beautiful shots Captain!
You seem to be another one of the members for whom the theme appears to have been made 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
Wonderful concept !
And we got to see some wonderful “ water watches “ as a result KMII . I realised I surprisingly have almost no actual shots against water except one taken recently on a vacation at an island off the Australian coast so here it is And the actual watch more...
Beautiful shots and watch Wachnut!!
I specially love the background of first shot. And the colorful background on the second you so much for sharing!! Best Abel
Enjoying the water scenery too much…
To think of taking pictures of it 😊👍🏻 Great shoreline shot 👏🏻
A Seamaster doing what Seamasters do best…
Great weekend…Taken with a Ricoh WG-80 ...
Great shot 👍
You really captured just how, under water, the watch changes with the dappled light and magnification 😀😀
