Hello Friends! I will have the big pleasure of hosting the Wrist Scan edition for this week end which starts Now! The theme is: “Watches bought on travels” Most of our members are fond of traveling for pleasure or need to travel for business reasons and I...  

I will follow your lead and share Paris. Patek 5980 ...

Actually most of my Watches were bought travelling, for the simple reason, because they were not available in my country. MY Tag Heuer Autavia (UAE LE), i bought in Dubai. It was issued in collaboration with Sediqqi and Sons, 150 Watches in Total. I love ...  

... the same to me! Thought living in Switzerland you should have less problems than me to find some pieces! This Autavia is superb!! Hagwe! Abel

This though was for the Dubai watch week only and the collaboration with Sediqqi and Sons.

Wears very well, especially in the summer..

It is indeed.. a bit think, but nice

... and having the pleasure of meeting you again! Cheers! Abel

that salmon dial Breguet!! Sublime!! Thank you Nicolas for these great shots and watches!! Abel

Gracias a ti!

Great pieces, too 👌🏻

Other than a bargain Omega Seamaster purchased in Lindau & that I no longer own, I have not purchased a keeper watch overseas (yet!), so thank you Abel for the option of memories from world travels: And the Indian Ocean And also just to dream ...  

Like so much your shots and props! Thank you for sharing my friend!

Fond memories indeed. You are, as ever, most kind. Your Breguet and Geophysic are definitely my 'cup of tea' All the best, Giles

... you like the Breguet and Geo, among my favorites in my collection too. Cheers! Abel

Hope you are keeping well?

Yes, all well thanks & after some some ‘changes’ here - and lookin forward to the spring arriving soon! Hope all is good with you & the family in your new home. Best, Giles. Ps - loved your silver dial Doxa. Do you have yellow or orange dial colours versi... 

We‘re still in the adaptation phase. Apparently it’s usual if you have kids that there’s someone sick all the time for the first six months after moving here - which makes life a real challenge for my wife 🙁 And then there are small things not functioning... 

It was in a beautiful place in California, but I was stuck in a conference room most of the time. This piece, however, allowed me to bring the beauty outside indoors. Here’s a photo that I took on a quick break. ...  

I try to take some extra days at the beginning or the end of my meetings so I can actually enjoy the scenery.

So nice you had this wrist companion during your meeting! Hagwe! Abel

You are too kind. Have a great weekend, my friend.

... with a watch that traveled from Miami to Hamburg to end up in my collection, but I easily would have traveled there if it had been necessary... that’s how special it is to me 😉 The one most of you very well by now, the limited to 12 pieces Blancpain L...  

... Breathtaking! And your photography stunning! Thank you so much for sharing these shots here! Hagwe! Abel

I actually visited the Moser manufacture and had a lunch with someone there before buying the watch...special experience

The 2nd moser in this thread already. Two thumbs up!

actually I have to say I got the watch primarily because of the case...I wanted a massive palladium made case....I love it...

Used to travel to Schaffhausen all the time many years ago, albeit before the resurgence of Moser. Great shot!

summer last year. ZRC ...  

That's best way of enjoying Life! Thanks a lot for sharing these shots! Hagwe! Abel

When I was alerted to this uncommon 101.027x for sale in Tokyo by Ianny the Master Enabler, a flurry of emails ensued, and I booked the watch. By coincidence my family was due to travel to Tokyo 2 months later, so I opted to pick up the watch in person, r...  

... straping the watch for first time! And the Metro trip back to the apartment with that big smile on face. Great! Stunning shot of this most awesome Lange 1, an iconic model from the Brand! Keep loving and enjoying my friend! Hagwe! Abel

From the swatch at Sydney airport during the height of quartz madness to more memorable pieces in Bangkok the spring drive 'blizzard' A London acquisition--- a cool favourite of mine Unexpected buys,all of them, but that's why life is interesting! HAGWE ...  

... timepieces which I´m sure will remind you of the places visited forever. I also own the Red Reverso and the Snowflake and love them so much. The Reverso bought in Milano and the GS in Miami just a month ago. Hagwe! Abel.

I do recall you picking up your snowflake recently and your reverso rouge all those years ago. I'm sure you have and will continue to enjoy them in the future. Best henry

... will keep loving and enjoying yours! Cheers! Abel

What a stunner

All unplanned purchase, right place at the right time Have a great weekend! SF Holiday in Japan Holiday in Swiss Work trip to Hong Kong ...  

Totally random so if I find something interesting, that would be bonus for the trip

... of fact it happens to me many times. To be surprised by an unplanned find can result in a wonderful purchase and souvenir for sure! Hagwe my friend!! Abel

From the days when picking up a sports Rolex was still an event not involving a wait 😉👍🏻

The DSSD, launched in 2009 I think but was so hot that there was no stock and selling above retail so never mind. In 2012, while holidaying in swiss, I saw Bucherer in Lucerne and walked in....know what, last piece and the lady even gave me a discount! Th... 

I guess that’s one of the few times a survey helped 😉

I had carefully researched a Tudor Grantour and planned out its purchase during a cruise to the U.S. Virgin Islands. We got to the AD, tried on a few Grantours, and settled on my watch. After that was the whole purchase ceremony, buying, sizing, warranty ...  

... and story with us!! Hagwe! Abel

Those things are what make the pieces doubly special!

I have never bought a watch on my travels, but I have traveled to buy a watch. The first time I saw one of these for real was on a GTG in Paris. I was smitten. When I saw this one I knew I had to get onto a plane to Milan, I spent a very pleasant afternoo...  

Found this Breguet 3800 with Trititum dial at a dealer in Dubai, must have been sitting in a drawer or a safe for years. in perfect, virtually untouched condition. I already owned a 3820 Transatlantique from 2006 but having both side by side, I clearly pr...  

... that´s a wonderful Travel souvenir, no doubt!! Thank you for sharing! Hagwe! Abel

I can certainly see how you would prefer this one 😉

My holy gra... ehhh .. watch Bim ...  

Still, after some thought last night I found a watch that qualifies 😊 It’s my Doxa Searambler. While Doxa can more or less only be purchased online, at least the order for this one happened while I was traveling. It seems you have had many memorable acqui...  

... is a most beautiful diving watch. Though we usually associate Doxa divers with an orange dial I find the grey/silver dial of this variant most elegant and classy. My Doxas were also ordered through their web site but are also travel watches as I made ... 

This is my favorite category, to the point where I’ve ‘almost’ made a promise to myself to only buy watches when I am traveling. There is so much more meaning and memories. I have several in my collection but here is one favorite : First, a Rolex 16610 (2...  

... Makes it very special, Agree with you that buying watches during travels add more meaning and memories to them. By some reason I can not view your pictures. Will you please check them? Thank you so mucha and Hagwe! Abel
