WristScan theme: Watches + Cars
Timerider (Tim) inspired this weeks theme. Watches and cars are a " name="" target="">favourite combination on PuristS. So share with everyone the watch that best compliments your car. It might be a matching watch (a JLC Amvox?), a racing theme (a Heuer ...
The car is a keeper; the watch ...
May be due for a trade in, but I love the color combo! ...
So . . .
. . . true. You can see the car, but not the Karrée? Better? "Ready for my close-up, CB!" There's something oddly congruous about a Karrée perpetual calendar sitting atop a Holley 4500 carb. Original '50 Merc . . . . . . mid-way thru the renovation proces...
Two grey Glashüttes this week! . . .
. . . that's a first, no doubt about it. Thanks much for sharing your PanoInverse with us . . .
Absolutely adore this Karré.. From shape to dial, from hands to cals.. :)
BTW: what's the amount of PS this special vehicle is developing ? Must be a bonus, that a family member leads/ does the restauration , ehh ? - Also love the color of the car - Splendid ! Thx for this cool share ! Best, hs PS: - on your first pic , I could...
My guess is ~ 400+ hp . . .
. . . and I'll check with Warren later to confirm. And yes, having him in the family will come in handy some day - I'd love to have a '60s Dodge or Plymouth again.
WOW !.. That's already a power horse.. Of course ..
.. the ratio between total weight and hp will play a role and he another index, I heard.. Thank you for the prompt & kind answer ! Best, also for this upcoming WE ! hs
I overestimated, h - it's a 'normal' Chevy 350 c i engine . . .
. . . rated at 300 hp, with a mild cam, aluminum intake, and Holley 4500 carb. It hasn't been tested on a dynamometer, but Warren's guess is roughly 10% more horsepower than stock, putting it at around 330 hp.
I might have more pics on Tuesday . . .
. . . of another rod Warren's working on - check in our Automotive forum then!
Hmmm...I just realized...
I seem to really like Audemars Piguet and performance cars... Ok for something a little different how about... Elemental yet iconic. Basic designs yet instantly recognizable. Sublime ...
The ultimate mobile watch storage case...
AndrewD, these are all dedicated to you and your family. See you soon. ...
Very well matching colors.. Love both watches, the tropical is splendid, the Daytona..
.. not much less... One Q may be allowed: which Ref is the Sub ? - the Choc / tropical Sub is 5513 or 5508 (?) Best & HAGWE, hs
Porsche and...
...Navitimer... [URL=] [/URL] or how about Porsche and Millenary... [URL=] [/URL] or maybe...Porsche and JLC... [URL=] [/URL] Emil ...
Thanks, Tim!
These are the first photos I've taken with my new DSLR Pentax. Now that I see how much more flexibility this camera has compared to my old one, I'll probably end up joining in on more WristScan Fridays! Emil
There are watches for ever taste, and a Porsche 356 just for you. :)))
No need to look for a winner anymore, it is here and it is you! Best, Nicolas
Great shot Emil and very
unusual strap combo but somehow it works BTW one of my fav Navitimers you have there Best Damjan
Thanks, Damjan...
Photography was first a hobby, then my minor in collage, then a big part of my advertising career where I directed thousands of shoots, but I've been away from it for over a decade now. So it's about time for me to get back into it. As for the strap on th...
As much as I love the watches, Emil,
I want to see more of the car! What can be seen is beautiful!!! Best, CaliforniaJed
Thanks! Only a few photos of the 356...
...on this computer, so nothing new to show...just these photos that I've posted before: [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] [URL=] [/URL] I've promised to post about the car on the Automotive forum but just haven't had the time. But I'll get to it ...
Easy, I have these for you...
Two wrist shots and one static... HAGWE all, we're almost there.... Cheers, Tim ...
There has been many
ABR PPro shots through years but this last one of yours is something awesomely new dear Tim I love that shot Best regards Yours Damjan
AAah, Tim... Not seeing this UN would have surprised me a lot.
Happy to see it again! Best, Amigo. Nicolas
Specifically like that UN.. with its color accents.. Very nice.. And finally..
. the ABPro ( is that the name still ?) asks for attention, with that play of the second hand.. Reminds me to take mine out, after a while, as it doesn't really get enough wrist time, ;) Again, the UN, blur/red rhapsody is cool AND versatile, I expect.. M...
Bike week over here ...
I just realize i haven't taken a descent WS with cars in ages ... and since i've been riding Ducati's all week my theme will be 'Watches + Bikes' :-) Ducati Monster 1100S + LLD .... Errrrr ... don't tell my wife, but a real biker should have at least one ...
No worries !.. One beer won't really have the Ducati roar !.. Valid car- replacement ! ?.
.. otherwise all the Best & HAGWE !! Best, hs
One beer is acceptable ..
Not my bike(s) this week, just some test work for a friend. Lightens his job and i get free rides :-) ... as long as there are no blue lights in the neighborhood ;-) Bim
The truth is, one beer tastes amazing after a ride.
Two beers, though, and you're asking for trouble. Nice bike, Bim. And of course, the Legend Diver is fantastic. Best, CaliforniaJed
Daytona to track the speed of my Mach 5...
Or, as they say in Japan, Mach go-go. Aloha, Bob ...
LOL. Would be amazing if it was powerful enough...
to hit Mach 5 but more likely "just" 5,000 HP. :-) For rider on the trunk, its horsepower comes from a 4130 calibre. Aloha, Bob

Relaxed Geophysic shots! Love both the shots and the watch! :) Best, my friend Blomman
Some quick shots
All cars quite dirty (all driven hard ;-))...Tried to match the watches a bit to the cars. Watch is easy, but what car? (answer at the end) Mini Cooper S, real fun car! And a BMW 3 series And the car New car needed for next year as replacement for the Min...
Cool stuff Dirk
my heart goes to 4C... I know no surprise :) Hope you'll do the same and share it with us Best Damjan
Thx Damjan!
Well my heart also goes out to the 4C... Btw, will be in Hvar beginning July! cheers, Dirk
Love the way you think :)
Still in Zagreb at that time Moving to Dubrovnik at the end of July So you are becoming native of Hvar? ;) Sincerely yours Damjan
Keep the Aston, my friend. And add a 4C if you can find one!
The DB7 made me dream so much... And still nowadays, by the way. Is yours 6 Cyl + Compressor, or the 12 Cyl? Best, Dirk. Nicolas

This WS-week - no real chips to play.. Well, unless..
.. some sort of a patchwork entry may be allowed ; as one of our common focus-points are Vintages, and many also like old ads & catalogs, - here one well known ad from Jaeger vs a contemporary vehicle of that time period Thus, very close dates for the ad,...
cars are big boy toys....
cars is also young boy toys (literally speaking)... ps: i try to compensate cr*ppy pic by inventiveness :-) ...
...and you did tremendous job :)
Awesome...lovely...and inventive ;) Sincerely Damjan P.S. Planes are also young boys toys ;)
Curious about the Russian script . . .
. . . on the Jaeger clock, h; any idea why? (By curious coincidence, there was a Russian driver in today's Indy 500 - a first, to the best of my knowledge.)
Eagle eye, Art !.. I've thought about it, also .. But ..
.. I have no real clue; - One possible attempt to explain, could be, that one of the owners might have been Russian.. (?) It could well be, that car- manufactures such as Bentley, made additionally tailored dashboards or inscriptions. That's all I can off...
It's part of my job description :) ;)
So are we in for trivia? Is it a German car? Cheers D
Coool Vlad ..in a cool car.. BTW: was a lot of fun, co-riding with that Cabrio.. ! ;))

Ahhh.. Here are the torture instruments.. Sweet pains.. Where are my strong pills ??

Let's call this vehicle rather than car. Rolex double red

The Tesla is great!
driven 15K km with it now and appreciating the vehicle more & more. Worse: I am starting to dislike ICE driven cars. And I used to be a real patrol head.
Automotive inspired...

Brum, brum.... Sorry I am late....
I drove all the way from Paris...! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...
You need a bigger car for sure
Driving that all the way from Paris must be tiring. Bill
Ahhhm.. That's the one, always parked @ CDG/ Terminal 2.. Great vehicle !.. But, tell me..

The "Flying Norseman"...?
Never heard of, dear HS! The Flying Dutch for sure, but never Norseman - the Viking horns would get stuck in the propeller! ;) All the best for the weekend, my friend! Blomman
Well.. It simply is a fresh breed.. Lots of energy, much of passion.. And since..
.. recently, the joys & tasks as a mod, results in upgrading to aeroplanes, as busy as the schedules are .. Guess, the GP meeting in Paris must have been nice ! Seeing old friends, meeting & making new ones.. - I can see, how you indulge yourself with eff...

Indeed andrew it's time to unleash the horses! During a sunny afternoon... Have a great WE everyone, Cheers, Mark ...
Weekend may be over.. But let me just say.. Absolutely liked your color composition..
.. and your georgous De Bethune !.. Everything, including your shirt & car - all in the same color scheme. - Indeed, a very nice picture ! Have a good start into the new week and Best, hs
The colors were strange
Thanks for your very nice words hs! It wasn't really on purpose but the colors are as if they had been digitaly processed. I thought too that it showed a nice color combination. Have a great week too ;) Cheers, Mark
Pitty you remember it
you already made enough suffering for one WS :) :) Sincerely Damjan
Just three American cars in this thread, Kev . . .
. . . yours, mine (picture, that is - the '50 Merc belongs to Warren's customer), and Andrew's Mustang. Surely there's gotta be more American iron out there!
Since I was very young, I was a fan and admirer of Juan Manuel Fangio...
... as many of my same age friends were in those far days. I keep remembering him so well now! As you may understand Andrew, living in Argentina it was easy to catch the contagious fanatism of our car race lovers for our Numero Uno Hero! But Fangio was no...
Had to think a little.. And chose a Vintage Combo.. ;)
- Strangely I couldn't retrieve a pic of my (contemporary) "car + watch" So I thought about this Collage : Daimler toy car & MMV 3161 - Parking : both are special Cheers, everyone & HAGWE ! hs ...
