It is with much sorrow that I wish to share the sad news of our dear Captain Scarlett passing today.
I received the sad news today from Mrs. Scarlett and I’m still in shock.
The Captain was a personal friend and we exchanged a couple of messages about two weeks ago. He showed his usual good humor and nothing could make me foresee something so dramatic would happen.
We have been enjoying a long time friendship for many years and at ends of year 2019 I had the big honor and pleasure of meeting the Captain and Mrs. Scarlett in Barcelona.
I treasure in my heart the memory of that meeting we enjoyed so much and the nice gesture of my friends of flying to Barcelona when they learned that I was visiting my family who was living there at the time.
We will miss the Captain so much. He contributed so much to our Forum sharing his passion for fine watches, good fast cars, music, films, good meals and travels and he illustrated his posts with his wonderful and personal style photography. (And of course he was a big fan of James Bond as I am!)
Rest in peace my dear good friend. I’ll miss you so much.
May the Lord receive you and give your dear Mrs Scarlett and all your family strength to go through these hard times.
Abel

What a sad news on a Saturday morning
So many great moments and shared memories, wristcan, cartier and so much more. May he rest in peace and special thoughts to his family members.
Devastating news dear Abel. May The Captain Rest In Peace 🙏😞
I will very fondly remember him and his kind-hearted contributions here.... In mourning, Filip
So very sorry…
You were so generous with so much knowledge to someone with so little. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😞
Captain Scarlett - I always called him 'Cap' - was the best friend one could have . . .
. . . even though I never had the pleasure of meeting him in person. We spoke regularly on the phone for the last seven years and communicated privately thru e-mail years before. I'll have more to say next Friday during the April installment of Wrist Scan...
So sad to hear this, Abel!😔
I was recently thinking and wondering if there was something amiss with Capt Scarlett. I had not seen many posts from him. My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in piece!

Thank you Kimi
He was very much looking forward to meeting in Barrafina to discuss all the things you two had in common, he spoke of you fondly and often Sarah

Apparently the main chef opened another restaurant in the vicinity, so the place was to change. I am so sorry for your loss and if there is anything we can do to help or support please do not hesitate! Kristjan

Dear Sarah, my apologies for calling yesterday, I was trying to send a text . . .
. . . but wound up dialing by mistake. It was a privilege to be Cap's friend; it's difficult to believe he's gone. Please know he was admired and respected by our community of watch collectors. He was, to his core, one of us. Sincerely, Art
