Horological Meandering

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 wo...  

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.

I will very fondly remember him and his kind-hearted contributions here.... In mourning, Filip

Continue your journey in peace. 🎆

You were so generous with so much knowledge to someone with so little. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😞

Rip Capt Scarlett

. . . 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... 

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!

family and to all forum elders here who knew him well. Captain was a gentleman. He recently took the time to PM me and my family while on holiday in the Canarias hoping we had an enjoyable time. That gesture took me by surprise then, more so today. Gobsma... 

I remember having read many of his posts and shared his knowledge. My condolences to his family members.

Godspeed Captain.

condolences to his family and all his many friends ! - You will be sincerely missed ! 😥

I am still struggling for words. We have had an agreement to meet in Barrafina when I was next in London but somehow that didn’t happen as my journey hasn’t taken me there in too long 🤷🏻‍♂️ He was kind, knowledgeable, compassionate and had a fabulous tast... 

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

Yes Nieves opened Sabor in Heddon St she invited us to the opening, happy memories,

… but a General in my eyes. Always thoughtful, respectful and knowledgeable in his comments - a compliment from The Captain was a treasured gift. Many condolences to you all those who shared his friendship over the years.

Sincere condolences to his family. He will be greatly missed here!

It’s always sad when a member of the community passes on. The captain was a cornerstone member always providing good insight and fun into the conversation. Never met him, but a virtual friend forever.

So very sad to hear it

I loved his posts, he was such a valuable member to our community here. This is heart wrenching. Prayers and thoughts to his family in this very, very sad time. He will always be remembered here.

Abel, thank you for letting us know. This is a loss that will be felt across the entire community. Captain Scarlett was a pillar of this place. His posts had a warmth and wit that made you stop scrolling and actually read. He brought more than watches to ... 

It’s heartbreaking

. . . 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

It was very difficult for me to write my post. I feel so sad and shocked. Thanks a lot to all friends who are joining here to salute our dear friend: The Captain! Abel

Will I could add more.

to his family and friends! May he rest in peace! Although I didn’t know him personally, somehow seems to me that I knew him well, through his meaningful posts! I wish you a great journey, dear Captain!!!

We have lost too many friends lately

Tremendous sad news and a great loss to this forum. His impact on WatchProSite will always remain, and I admit that he has really made such a different to me during the 20 years I have been on WPS, both in how I view and enjoy horology, and personally as ... 

My thoughts to the family and those close.

Never met the Captain in person but feel his great support of the forum.

I am utterly shocked and regret so much not to have met him, although talking about it! I noticed his absence here for a while and thought he might be just too bussy. The Captain was a key member, one with great, fantastic humor! We had some really great ... 

He was such an asset to the community and I just loved his grungy photos of watches in the element. He will be sorely missed.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.
