Wristscan: Friday 10th Starts now - Theme: What is your suit?
Hearts? Clubs? Diamonds? Spades? What is your favourite suit?
Hearts: Watches of emotion. Romantic. Warm.
Clubs: Solid. Sturdy. Can take a beating. And then come back for more.
Diamonds: High on aesthetics. Debonnaire.
Spades: Tool watch.
Hearts - my JLC perpetual from my wife.
Not much tougher than a 1665 Mk2 - been with me now for 8 years
I am not big on diamonds on a watch. I make an exception when it is between the lugs.
One of the coolest Rolex tool watches. Never popular in its time, but for me one of the coolest.

Can a watch be several suits?
I love my Seiko PADI. Its colours never fail to warm up my weekends (hearts), and it\'s also very sturdy and solid (clubs) and it\'s a great tool watch (spades). For the money, it\'s terrific value! ...
Great watch - Blue dial is fab.
Tried one on and really liked it - still need to decide if its too big. Cheers JML
Give it a shot!
I was pleasantly surprised at how well it wore on my slim 6.3" wrist. Lug to lug is 48mm, which is only 1mm more than a TTR 1931 (which you have, IIRC), so it's quite doable.
Instead of choosing between four suits, may I offer . . .
. . . a called four-rail bank shot . . . . . . instead? Naturally, the Flightmaster . . . . . . was on my wrist that day. What else would one wear to celebrate a flight of fancy? ...
A watch that holds an emotional aspect for you.
Given by a loved one. A warm watch. Rose gold. Moonphase romance. A watch that reminds you of something emotional. Honestly, H, just go with a flow.
Here I go ...
Hearts: Watches of emotion. Romantic. Warm. Clubs: Solid. Sturdy. Can take a beating. And then come back for more. Diamonds: High on aesthetics. Debonnaire. Spades: Tool watch. A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
Spades plus a little bit of everything
Already showed this over at the GP forum on Monday and it is still in rotation this weekend, my GP Financial. Foremost a Tool watch with the the World Time function and the opening and closing times of the major stock exchanges. But the watch is also hig...
Re: "show time of all your girlfriends around the globe"....
That is a great sales pitch! Best Blomman
I like world timers so much that I think about building a small collection on this theme.
2 watches are seriously considered: The GP WW TC and the JLC Universal Time, to give company to my Patek 5110. A third one may join the ranks: The Montblanc Orbis Terrarum. The 4th is more problematic: The Vacheron. In white metal ( platinum ), it costs a...
Sure, we all sold our redundant kidney many years ago, right ;)
That would be a great trio of World Timers: Patek, GP and JLC. The Montblanc I saw recently someone wearing it and it really looks very cool on the wrist with the colourful inner dial. Really cool watch for small money.

Hmmhh.. You know about the crocodile first hiding its prey.. Yes, came in early Jan.. :))
.. It will be a great pleasure to bring it along - It\'s a super cool watch, IMO. So this & now the great Crononetro may be my only arrivals for this year.. At least that\'s the dietary intention for 2017. Thx for your kind looking, my friend ! Best, hs
Ummhh.. Diet facts seem to prove me to the contrary !.. Or how G Bernard Shaw said ..
.. "The way to hell is paved with good intentions !" Best, my knowledgeable friend ! hs
Thx for kind looking !.. Indeed, I had been encircling this Ref. a while before taking the plunge.. But no regrets, only intense love !
.. Sometimes this dial is totally different, fascinating how it handles the play of light. - Really love to look down on it ! Thx again, dear B & Best, hs.
Wow! You show a Big hand here my friend HS!
... many great Aces in these superb shots my friend!! HAGWE! All the best Abel

before you masters get a chance to dazzle with your images! cheers Andrew
Can't blame you!
Despite the lack of orange I can image you are very happy with this special watch.
Two from the deck
Hearts: a recent gift to my father for his 80th that replaces a 50's Eternamatic he bought in Singapore (that was stolen 25yrs later). The memory of this watch plus Omega's and an AP is what got me interested in vintage watches. Happy Birthday Dad! Spades...
