Good to have you hosting WristScan this weekend dear Abel. I feel that your watches offer maximum pleasure in a difficult year. The new Bond Seamaster 300M in titanium looks excellent with the mesh bracelet. No collectors year is complete without a good v...

Greetings Abel, welcome to you weekend and that fantastic new Omega!

2020 saw a net 1 watch increase. It seems that the big brands for the most part have lost my attention, as evidenced by me letting go of both my PAM779 and selling my IWC Big Pilot. In fact, this was the 3rd Big Pilot I gave up for adoption. I love the id...

Took a course Got a book Bought a watch Took some photos Spent time on WPS I think, in time, those of us who had the fortune to continue to work and be with family, will look back at this time as the finest. I wish you all a great weekend. Jaccard ...
Thank you Nicolas
By: toxly347 : January 15th, 2021-06:37
Your photos and review of this watch had a lot to do with it. Congratulations on your milestone.
Very technical

But it also contains some legendary dry English wit.
Dear Abel..you had a pretty good 2020 building your collection 🥂
By: S F : January 15th, 2021-06:46
While 2020 was not a good year with big adjustments to our way of life, I kept myself occupied in my watch hobby to de-stress. For eg., when my wife brought home a Japanese melon, I borrowed it for the GS pix.... . 2020 was also the year I got my first Sp...
Ha ha ha!!

Great new additions to your amazing collection dear Friend
By: Watchonthewrists : January 15th, 2021-12:53
No new watch(es) for this new year but last year i tried to keep myself occupied and distracted with some new watches because there was no event and gtg 😬. Lets hope we will be able to attend some this year 🙏🏻. Here some new additions in 2020 HAGWE 🤗 ...
Two unexpected purchases 😉
By: Watchonthewrists : January 16th, 2021-01:35
They where offered to me by the same person . He had traded in the LeCoultre and asked me if i would like to have it. Because it’s so unusual (which i like 😉) and the price was low i said ok . Glad to have it in my collection now
A different year
By: jml_watches : January 15th, 2021-14:21
Hi All Just one new watch in the last year & one I didn't expect! I finally secumbed to a Gshock! Not sure how it happened, but might be something to do with having far too much time to watch YouTube bloggers on watches. While I like the G-Shock the highl...
Thanks :)
By: jml_watches : January 16th, 2021-00:46
There's a complete gulf between the two. More than 60 years between their production & completely different technologies to do the same thing - tell the time. Both very different, but also a pleasure to wear. Cheers JML
Thanks :) Always a pleasure to wear it too
By: jml_watches : January 16th, 2021-00:39
Really pleased I made the decision to send it back to JLC - they did a really great job. Gives one confidence to wear vintage pieces knowing they can be serviced/repaired. Cheers JML
Amazing JLC

What a cute baby! Congrats!! Lovely.
By: Subexplorer : January 15th, 2021-18:19
Yes both the Ranchero and the SM are wonderful timepieces!! Enjoy them so much and lots of happiness and good health for your baby! Cheers! Abel
Two 300s? . . .

Hello dear Abel and friends, Last year was certainly a strange one for most of us and talking about watches sometimes felt trivial when others were and still are struggling physically and mentally due to the global pandemic. On a positive note, I found it...
Thank you 🙏...
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 15th, 2021-15:35
Let’s hope that 2021 ends in a better way for us all.
Agreed 👍🙏

The patina is building up on this one.
Many thanks dear friend...
By: Cpt Scarlet : January 16th, 2021-06:50
We certainly should enjoy our watches to keep our sanity during these difficult days. Kind regards The Captain
Thank you!
By: Modernahab : January 16th, 2021-11:42
To me it's one of the few (only?) rectangular designs that can rival the Art Deco elegance of the Reverso and the Cartier Tanks, without looking like an imitation.
Thanks so much for the kind words, Abel!
By: Modernahab : January 16th, 2021-11:21
In this grim year, I've looked toward any novelty/distraction I can find. And yes, you know you've gotten your partner hooked when they need their own watch winder. ;-D All the best, Andrew
Stuff that kept me going in 2020
By: Boris : January 15th, 2021-19:37
The thing that affected me most in 2020, and going into 2021, is the limitations imposed on sports in Hong Kong. We went through multiple phases of gyms and swimming pools and tennis courts being shut down, and this has adverse effects on both my fitness ...

Hello KM, that’s a great find, congratulations it’s a rare one. All your watches are interesting and the Raketa looks incredible. I have a CassiOak that’s just perfect for a stealthy trip. Best regards The Captain
Thanks a lot Captain Scarlet!
By: KMII : January 16th, 2021-22:01
Yes - it took me six years to find the Izul and then another six months to get it into the country 😊👍🏻

Thank you for the kind words, it’s a privilege to work with such brilliant artisan watchmakers. The Habring is indeed a Grand Erwin, the first time they created a larger case for this caliber. I’ve always loved the jumping seconds complication, which is w...

The year started with a nice looking 33mm Doxa from the 60's. Just charming, little wristtime, so maybe a giveaway for my wife or daughter. Then virus hit me: anOrdain model, Post Office Red. Fantastic red enamel dial. When days got colder, I saw this div...
