That’s what I call a great combination !

WristScan - Crown & Hands GTG

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-13:30
Hello dear friends, Good news, the weekend starts now at WristScan and we are having a virtual GTG at the best pub in the world, The Crown & Hands ! It’s obviously the best pub in the world as it’s owned by The WristScan Pub Co. Join us for this authentic...  

Ha.

 
By: Stoikos : January 30th, 2022-11:18
I actually meant it. But the photo—a floating GShock over booze as a surreal Dali—has no takers. Fun for me though….

Sauterne, always one to enjoy …

Absolutely…

The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world ! ;-)) What are you drinking ?

That’s a cool shot on the bar …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-15:52
and here’s the drink you ordered 👍 … Should I put it on your tab ;-)) ...  

Good to have you joining us ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-15:55
Good choice of beverage and your Bvlgari by Genta always hits the spot. Do you usually go for Gin ?

Cheers

 
By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 28th, 2022-15:34
A few situations at the same GTG.. maybe I changed cloth so maybe a GTG over 2 days.. With cans for the afternoon drink and talk and on the table for a long and nice GTG-dinner Best regards Hans ...  

Hello Hans ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-16:02
Good to have you joining us and I love your first shot with the vintage Omega Ranchero. The Seamaster 300 is a personal favourite. Is this a watch that you have had for many years ?

Yes

 
By: hans_jorgen_1968 : January 28th, 2022-16:41
Dear Cpt , It is always a pleasure to participate I have had both SM300, the CK2913 and the 165.024 for around 14-15 years The CK2913 was bought from a forum member on this forum Hagwe Hans

Fabulous vintage Omega …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-16:51
It’s even more satisfying when you have had them for many years. Do you like Scotch as a drink of choice ?

Hi Watchonthewrist ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-16:10
Good to see you joining us and as The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world we have an extensive choice of coffee. If you are taking it easy at the start of our GTG on the beverage, you certainly made up for it with the watches 🤩 … See yo... 

The Moser....

is not only gorgeous, but wonderfully framed. I'd expect it to be among the finalists here! Cheers, Filip

Hi Tony ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-16:54
It’s good to have you joining us for a beer or three ;-)) …. Is that you favourite beer ? … That’s a cool shot of your watch !

Beer from a very good independent brewery …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:01
It’s not always available but worth looking for. What was your first Glashütte watch ?

For all the bourbon fans out there.

 
By: toddg : January 28th, 2022-16:34
I thought I would match some of my bottles of bourbon with my watches. The overhyped, but still excellent. The store picks. The classics. The independents. Not for everyone, but I love them. Always an excellent choice. The under appreciated. And the grail...  

For me

 
By: TeutonicCarFan : January 28th, 2022-17:03
That four roses and the weller antique are ones I like to drink often

Four Roses is the closest bourbon to scotch, very oaky 👍

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : January 29th, 2022-00:12
Elijah Craig is also great, but can't reach Blonton's barrel proof or Stagg Jr, which are the same stuff to me, just with a different name! 🧐 Those two are delicious cherry bombs!

Those two are really excellent pours.

 
By: toddg : January 29th, 2022-17:47
Very hard to find these days. The Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is a bit easier to get, and is really quite tasty. Better than the regular Elijah Craig, and consistently good.

Not only harder to find, but also imnensly increased in price too.

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : January 29th, 2022-18:59
But to be fair: Stsgg and Blanton's barrel proof are worth the extra money. Luckily I bought four Stagg and two of the B. at the time. 🥃🥃

Tremendous selection of Bourbon …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:06
and matched by your watches, especially the superb Lange. Can you tell us anything more about your passion for collecting Bourbon ?

Not much to say.

 
By: toddg : January 29th, 2022-17:52
I went to college with a bunch of guys from Kentucky that introduced me to it. Have been a big fan ever since. Unfortunately, like watches, the hype has grown to the point where there is too much scarcity and too much price inflation. So, finding a really... 

It’s always interesting…

Good choice ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-17:05
Welcome to the Crown & Hands Mo ! The RAW Ornament looks very good, I particularly like the salmon grain dial. Very cool. Would your recommend this watch to anyone considering it ?

It’s good to support and buy …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-17:16
From people that we have an affinity with. I have to say it looks a very tempting proposition.

Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in this time..

 
By: hs111 : January 28th, 2022-17:00
Team, Maybe not directly in the pub, but allow me to bend the occasion & location a bit ( more such as Drinks, Chilling & tic-tacs).. A cool shot (wih my DSA - EU) on a hot day - I‘ll stick with Aqua Minerale here.. Cup of Espresso ? A relaxing beer after...  

Hello and welcome HS ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 28th, 2022-17:14
As The Crown & Hands is the best virtual pub in the world, we have an extensive outdoor area with beautiful views … I see you found it ;-)) and our wine selection is to your liking ! You have brought a good selection of watches with you to share with ... 

No beer for me today

 
By: Jocke - Bad Santa : January 28th, 2022-19:12
because I have to drive this evening. But at least I will do that with a decent watch. ...  

Hi Jocke …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-00:10
Thanks for joining us this weekend on WristScan. This is my favourite watch that you have. Very cool 🍻

Dégustacion live!

 
By: Mary Anny : January 28th, 2022-22:10
Absolutely drunk... Ask whatever you want about the wines... Better in a few hours! Sorry for the boring watch! ...  

It was really nice!

 
By: Mary Anny : January 29th, 2022-14:43
It was a lovely evening of wine and food marriage. Food was mainly “montaditos” (tiny slices of bread with a variety of food onto them) and wines were simply the stars of the evening. RUDELES is a tiny family winery located in the Ribera del Duero area in... 

Many thanks for sharing this with us …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-15:45
Very interesting and I agree with you about finding small producers of wine that are passionate about the product. Northern Spain produces some excellent wine.

In the mood for stuff from Kentuckeee! 😀

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : January 29th, 2022-00:05
A double Stagg Jr. to start with ... ... and then to the horses! I think, next Saturday, I will have a bourbon night ... 🤔 ...  

Hello dear Count ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:24
The shot of your Red Submariner definitely hits the spot for our theme this weekend. I always enjoy a good Rolex and bourbon combo 🥃… Cheers !

Hi Stoikos ..

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:28
I particularly like the second and third shots of your Seiko “Pogue”, very cool ! Not an easy watch to find in good condition. Have you had this one for long ?

I love that kind of history …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:58
It’s part of the story and pleasure of a vintage watch. If only they could talk !

Could this be the ideal three watch collection …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-11:33
Certainly for our GTG at the Crown & Hands. For fun, which watch would you associate with a Martini and which with a Negroni ?

Our So Cal alphabet soup gang get-togethers usually take place in an English pub . . .

Can you get a post about three Art’s, two Omega’s a pint of beer, a glass of red wine and a girl called Linda. No wonder Roger Daltrey bought a house in walking distance !

Welcome to The Crown & Hands ….

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-13:18
That’s a cool shot and I love your choice of watch and beers. Have you had this watch in your collection for long ?

Thank you … cheers !

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-18:18
good shot and one of my favourites, the sublime Rolex Anniversary Sub 👍 ...  

You've heard . . . .

 
By: Dr No : January 29th, 2022-15:24
. . . Brothers in Arms ? Good for what ales you? We must be brothers in ales. 🍻

Considering how many pubs I've been in, I have surprisingly few photos

 
By: cazalea : January 29th, 2022-16:10
of myself in there, or wearing a watch. It must have been the smoke, or maybe the drinks being splashed about? This is a favorite photo showing all the watches we brought on a trip. Only Mrs Cazalea and I are in the photo. IF watches are being shown off, ...  

Good post Mike ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-18:12
You hit our theme perfectly with your photos and the good thing about a virtual GTG is you don’t have to say no to anyone handling your watches ;-)). Thanks for joining us, what are you drinking today ?

Evening all, next rounds on me….

 
By: Andy_Mac : January 29th, 2022-16:35
….I’ve brought along a pre-Bond Omega with a Guinness aged dial! After quaffing that I’ll be switching to the house white! Have a great evening everyone! Andy Mac ...  

That’s a really cool combo in your photos …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-18:05

Perfectly partnered with your Ming. Do you usually go for a a pint of mild ?

Thanks Cpt

 
By: 111forza : January 29th, 2022-18:19
Saturdays usually a pint of real ale either light or dark whatever takes my fancy

A good way to enjoy your Saturday …

Hello dear Captain! Thank you so much for your invitation to…

 
By: Subexplorer : January 29th, 2022-23:25
… this GTg! And a wonderful place to gather you choose! You open with a wonderful Pam which I love for its thick luminous markers and GMT complication. You know that traveling from so far from my Country makes difficult to carry many watches so I must fly...  

Welcome back dear friend !!! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 29th, 2022-23:56
It’s good to have you joining us for the GTG. I have to say that all your watches are perfect choices and you know how much I love the new Rolex Pepsi, but the new 42 mm Bronzo in blue looks superb in the sunlight. Thank you again for joining us for Wrist... 

Great choices, dear friend.. Also fine pics.. Very enjoyable these must be, I trust !

 
By: hs111 : January 30th, 2022-09:21
My personal favs are your terrific Pepsi and the shot thereof; and as a second I would pick the Bronze Panerai, a compelling Beast ! Thx for these fine shares ! HAGWE & Best to you and yours ! hs

Welcome to The Crown & Hands ! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-00:02
Especially with a vintage Omega and a Rolex Explorer a dynamic duo ! Red wine and a beef stew sounds perfect to me. Enjoy !

I’d prefer a nice, big Cabernet or Bourdeaux, but seeing

 
By: RabidManatee : January 30th, 2022-01:19
as how my sense of smell hasn’t returned to 100% post Covid (for me wasn’t a big deal, thankfully) I went with a decent Pinot recommended by my goto wine guy. ...  

Yeah, I guess Merlot from there

 
By: RabidManatee : January 30th, 2022-16:18
is supposed to be really good. As said, I’m looking forward to trying it. Cheers Captain!

Good to see you found the pool bar ;-)) …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-10:12
The Submariner is an excellent and safe choice if things get messy 😉 Have you had this one for long ?

Thank you very much.

 
By: Ajas : January 30th, 2022-10:19
I have got this one in August 2012, by just walking into AD on Abu Dhabi paying retail minus 10 % discount . There were the days. Luckily our club in KL has a nice pol bar so can safely join you and enjoy virtual meet.

Thank you very much.

That’s brightened up my Sunday ! Great shirt and watch combo 👍🍻

Welcome Shafran …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-11:17
I impressed that you brew your own IPA and equally so by you superb Breguet Marine Tourbillon Chrono. Can you please tell us more about both ?

The iPa was a father's day treat last year

 
By: shafran : January 30th, 2022-17:57
My son on laws got together and ordered everything on line to make our own brew. It's actually quite tasty and as easy as following a recipe and then letting it ferment for 2 weeks then bottling and sit of another 2 weeks. The 5837 is NY all around favori... 

Unfortunately a busy weekend…

 
By: KMII : January 30th, 2022-11:30
So no time for fresh shots but let’s see what I have ready 😊 Two watches that tend to be popular amongst the members here… And one that’s quite a legend amongst those who have been around for a bit longer 😊 ...  

Hi KM …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-11:58
Good to have you joining for a quick drink and always a pleasure to see your watches, especially the legendary Vacheron. Superb ! Have a great weekend !

Myles post has fostered an inspiration . . .

 
By: Dr No : January 30th, 2022-18:11
. . . for a new complication: an hour hand that springs into action at 4 pm and resets to 0 at 6 pm. As my pal Rupen was fond of saying, "One should not dine on an empty stomach." 🍸

Fantastic !!! …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 30th, 2022-17:08
That’s quite a collection ! I particularly love the Reno and Vegas shots. Do you collect these special vintage bottles ? Thank you for joining us this weekend.

Thx Cpt

 
By: NautNut : January 31st, 2022-17:16
I do not necessarily collect them per se, there is a sentimental relationship/story with how I obtained these. Coincidentally, I did live/work in LV and Reno too.

Thanks, I found it interesting …

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 31st, 2022-17:31
and I just like the designs. Have a good week ahead and hope to see you on WristScan next weekend.
