A warm welcome to all. This week’s theme is all about a long weekend away with your fellow enthusiasts The weekend will include a black tie event, casual daytime events and also time off for fun by the pool or beach etc. Your challenge is to choose three ...
Looking forward to everybody’s response. There are a few members here who I really hope enter into this event because I know they have some beautiful pieces that I would love to see ...
Setting the bar high this weekend with three excellent and very different choices. Perfect for your theme. I’ll return later with my three watches. Best regards The Captain
Hello Tony and friends, We can only imagine how much fun this event would be in the real world, hopefully one day we all enjoy the reality. The black tie event... The casual daytime event... Something for the pool... Have a great weekend friends ! Best re...
... without any chance of getting an internet connection and Monday with a very difficult day at work. So I missed these superb watches you have chosen to take to Tony´s party: Both Pateks are just breathtaking and the new Red Sea Dweller an ideal all ter...
Because nothing beats a classic Connie in term of elegance Because I work in an aeronautical environment Because this one reminds me of the call of the ocean and the long surf sessions of my youth (sighhhh) Wishing you all a great weekend ...
... to both of you dear fellow collectors for your kind messages. The Connie looks as as good in the outside as in the inside. Who could tell the watch is 68 years old at first glance (1953) Anyway, as always, it’s a delight to see such an outstanding com...
Ready for some elegant event Panerai Pam 190 Casual watch to hang out with like minded watch nuts. JLC Tribute to Polaris 1965 boutique. Time for a little beach action with elegance of course. Patek Nautilus 5712. ...
... you capture it perfectly in your superb shot. Both the Polaris 65 Boutique Edition and the Nautilus are breathtaking pieces. Enjoy the weekend so much! Best, Abel
Here's my personal contribution to the more elegant category (almost a mandatory choice as a watch for me ;-)) For the more casual category, let me go with my one and only Daytona, a real beater! And finally for the sports category, since my favorite is s...
... dear Tony nor the watch choices you share to open WS today. Here is my choice for this week end: For the black tie event will take my old 1959 ref 1803 DD though most probably will change its President bracelet for a set of black alligator straps to m...
Glad you approve my choices and I agree with you about wearing DD with straps. That combo is understated and classy and I always use to wear another DD with straps and find it so charming. A few "hors concourse" shots follow: Hagwe dear friend Moritz! Abe...
looks superb. I always ... hesitate to chose colored gold but this iteration just looks classy and cool. And timeless. And also the Aquatimer in combination with this strap for me is a winner. All the best Thomas
... on my watches and shots. Glad you like them. It is a big pleasure to participate and share these pictures and watches here! Have a nice weekend! Abel
And have to add: the Rolex with this bracelet looks perfect. It is certainly interesting to try a leather strap as a change and alternative. But I think you should also come back to the YG bracelet from time to time. Some things / combinations are just pe...
Your rolling wave of cool pics as always is a revelation & I’m convinced you’ll again hit the 3 nails on the head ! And in fact I also liked your first Yellow gold DD, somewhat exuberant but a clear statement; and indeed a fine black alligator strap will ...
... the three required watches in different angles and backgrounds. Glad to know you share my point of view regarding the black alligator straps for the DD. Have a nice week end my dear friend, Best, Abel
Thank you for hosting this weekend and this well thought theme. I would kickstart my contributions with my latest addition and my new black tie watch: Omega 1894 As sport/activity watch I took the Kermit for a jogg a few hours ago today: And for business ...
The perfect choice for your collection and this weekend on WristScan. The Kermit is an old favourite for me. Enjoy your weekend. Best regards The Captain
... it pass the opportunity of getting one home. Agree with you about business and war! A military watch like yours looks most appropriate for the occasion. And you know how much I love Submariners. The Kermit is such a joyful variant of the classic Sub. ...
Seldom dress up in a tux these days but my choice for formal wear is my favorite Voutilainen 217QRS For every day business the one I wear the most is my 1815. For the golf course and beach the 5164A is tough to beat! ...
I will join the party and start with two of my absolute favorite watches: 1. black tie event Here I choose my beloved IWC Minute Repeater which also would work in the dialy watch category. 2. casual daytime events: Here I have to show my IWC Perpetual Rat...
... then that wonderful IWC perpetual calendar/rattrapante is breathtaking. And I fully agree that the DSSD is a watch built strong as a tank and the best choice for an intense use in any environment. You show in a superb boat shot. A winning shot! Have a...
The Submariner the best choice for a near the sea/pool event and the Lange covers the sport-casual event to perfection. Enjoy your week end so much! Cheers! Abel
Casual time for fun usually involves some travel so will go with faithful GMT Casual day time events dressed down ALS 1815 chrono is hard to beat.... Black tie events, somewhat challenged but would go with FPJ CB (would need to go back to original strap f...
For a great and formal night out i would pick my Rexhep R. CC For daily use this UR103 is amazing As a special sports watch this U40 is perfect HAGWE 🤗 ...
Hi All Some tough choices - only 3 watches for a weekend! Seiko diver for starters My Nomos as my dress option Finally my third has to be an alarm Cheers JML ...
. . . the Marine II. Hanging out at the pool? No way! Dr No doesn't get wet outside the shower. Shooting pool is another story. Gotta have the Railmaster . . . . . . for that event. Hanging out with my watch bros? It shouldn't really matter, but somehow, ...
Three lovely vintage Omegas for each event even if never getting near the swimming pool! You know how much I love the Mariner II, and your "Nicolas" is such a lovely timepiece! Of course we share the Railmaster in our collections. A superb re issue from O...
I had the chance to dive many times with sharks going around though. A thrilling experience it has been always. Cheers! Abel Here with my daughter and son many years ago in Bahamas waters. ...
my black tie would be this fundamental breguet Casual daily wear would be this simple Credor Travel,sports,etc would come down to this Ranger HAGWE henry ...
It would certainly be the Doxa for the pool... Maybe the VC 1972 for formal - although I would need to change the strap for Black Tie ⚫️⚪️ And the P15 is certainly a great piece for a casual afternoon 😊 ...
Your VC is a superb choice for the formal event. I´m sure you will find the straps you like best in your awesome straps collection. The P15 is fitted with some stunning straps in the first two shots. You surely know how to enhance your watches with an spe...
For black tie only a black strap and black dial will do. Rolex Cellini. For business, a Breguet. And the only watch I would trust near water, a Seiko diver. ...
.. Was sticking to the three watches only: From Business meeting to casual - Master Control Memovox Blue Boutique Edition Black tie only - JLCs Geomatic Chronometre / RG as a charming & sublime companion VC Overseas, great at the lake and close by, a ...
The Master Control Memovox Boutique edition is most appropriate for a business event. You can set the alarm to remind the meeting time for example or just to amuse your friends after it has ended and celebrate with a drink at the bar. The Geomatic a class...
.. Indeed, I have to say, that meanwhile you already have a decent knowledge about my watch stable.. Thx for the comments - glad you liked the choices also ! I am wishing you a great remainder of the weekend & a good & healthy next week ! Looks we all sti...
Agree with you that we need to keep cautious and have discipline to cope with pandemic. I wish the arrival of vaccine with allow with the pass of some months to return little by little to the normal life we knew. Thank you for your greetings and good wish...
Formal Wear: I’d admit breaking the rules by wearing a sports watch but according to Audemars Piguet: in order to break the rules, one must master them. Of course, I’d wear patent leather shoes, a cummerband, and a black tux. This piece will hide under th...
They bring in so much passion into their suits, it is almost horological. I gotta get a Panerai soon. Thanks Doc Tony and it was a great theme that stimulates the mind to imagine and think.
My classmates are jealous I got the coolest GP as my mentor. He is Italian origin and drives around in a supercar. Somehow he could pull it off without the community saying he is arrogant, instead he is a role-model. You should see how the nurses greet hi...
About the way he does it. A boyish charm and a recognition to all he meets, which is not a simple Hello but a look in the eye. Yes I will observe more and let you know how he pulls it off. It is hard. Much like many girls wear all these luxury goods but p...
... and also helped by the education received at his home. Interesting to observe and to learn from such a character! You describe him so well! Cheers! Abel
... I specially think about wearing a sporty watch when I view a film of James Bond and see him wearing his Submariner or Omega SM with a tuxedo and nobody can deny how cool he looks. Of course I´m far from the looks or coolness of all actors playing Bond...
I think JB has entered my subconscious, and influenced me to think this way. Funny thing happened a few days ago. I was sitting in car (or car-rocket) of my mentor-doctor and I asked him what the best stethoscope is. After he replied, we realized the radi...
... films and books. Also interesting what you tell about the chat around stethoscopes. Most probably the radio talking had an influence on that too. Pierce Brosnan made a very nice Bond. Not very satisfied with Dalton though, but that is a very personal ...
Other than small biz meetings/meals, seems like any kind of formal/black tie event will be some time away. My choices are: Breguet Tradition for formal occasions Freak for the weekend catchup with friends over a couple of beers And the Doxa for a hike alo...
The Doxa is a great choice for any informal event specially if around pool, beach or sea. And the Freak a good conversation starter in a gathering of friends and an enjoyable and awesome presence on the wrist always. Enjoy the party and weekend so much my...
Esp in bars where lots of chicks hang around. You could tell them it costs $800 and they’d likely believe it. Nice Freak there. Rather uncommon to see nowadays. The Freak X is on my mind sometimes but I hadn’t the chance to view it at any ADs here yet. ...
Grand Seiko for the formal event. CB for during the day business casual. Oris Diver’s 65 for pool or ocean swimming. It has performed those tasks flawlessly many times. ...
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : February 28th, 2021-05:27
I would take the 995 for the casual afternoon: I would take the 372 for the pool/beach portion of the event (clearly I completely missed the point of warmer weather on this one ) And of course I would take the up/down for the black tie evening Thanks for ...
Firstly, I would like to say that I have not worn a suit nor tux for over a year and probably less than 5 times in the past 5 years so my selection and point of view could be a bit skewed 😜😉 So off the top of my head I would go with these 6 groupings of 3...
Picked up a few bespoke straps from ABP (my favorite leather atelier) and one in particular for my new Breguet which I think looks uber cool. It is a similar hide to the one I have on my JLC Duometre Chronograph but with more white tones due to the specia...
I will add 2 more holes to have a summer and winter fitting 😉. You really need to visit their atelier next time you are in Paris. They really do amazing work and the amount of options to choose from is mind-boggling 😉😁. If you do make it over, let me know...
