Wrist Scan edition for today July 4th is Open Now! “Funky, Crazy Watches”
Hello dear friends!
I have the pleasure of being your host during our WS event for this weekend starting today Friday July 4th.
I start this post wishing a Happy Independence Day to our American Friends!!
Our Theme is "Funky, Crazy Watches" and we ask our participants to share their "non conventional" watches.
That is those timepieces having some special features on their dials, case shape, or even case back which are very distinctive from a "conventional" watch design.
If a participant doesn´t have a "funky or crazy" watch in his collection he may share the watch (or watches) he expects to wear during the weekend.
This theme was inspired by my recent addition to my collection: a M.A.D. 1 Red which was a watch that had been haunting me for some time. I finally found an example in a NOS condition complete with box and papers.
It is something completely different to the traditional style of most watches in my collection and I find it whimsical, strange and very fun, though I admit: not very practial to read the time on its side and in a digital way. (May be it can be a practical watch for driving while keeping our hands on the car wheel). But it surely is very fun to view its balance wheel moving on its dial and a conversation starter as well.
You may start posting your entries now in this same thread.
The event will run till Sunday afternoon and veredicts will be announced on Monday.
As usual we have three categories:
Best wrist shot
Best static shot
Best classic watch shot
And all pictures submitted will participate in Best Watch of the Month category.
I wish a great relaxing weekend and a very enjoyable edition of WS to all our Community!!
Best cordial regards
Abel
Wow dear Salman!! That´s a scaring start indeed!! And a superb watch to share here!! Well played! Enjoy your weekend so much and that beautiful timepiece of course. Best, Abel
Here a couple of additional crazy and funky watches in my collection:
My Jean D’Eve Sectora. Now residing in my wife’s collection. A retrograde quartz movement inside. Truly funky I feel!
And my authentic James Bond watch. Sorry for those owners of big crown Submariners or Omega Seamasters.

The guy who sold me this watch promised that this IS the one 007 wears. Just look at its case back and the red line marking the 7th minute!!
Probably a gift from Mr. Goldfinger to 007.
This is the famous agent watch no doubt!!
😂😂😂
The Jean D’Eve is a Swiss Classic and the 007 is definitely a bribe by Mr. Goldfinger 😁
Ha ha ha!! Thank you for your kind comment dear Salaman!! You know... Mr. Goldfinger was so wicked! Lol!
Hello, dear Abel - what a stimulating theme and great examples from your stables ! 😉
- Your wife must be happy, as the Jean D‘Eve Sectora really is a funky and truly hilarious example;
I really like the retrograde movement ! - And these figures, squeezed and fariable in size are a nice feature as well !
- And the 007- watch has a ton of pun; although if I remember correctly then it were mainly Rolex Sub Big Crowns,
Have a great upcoming weekend and my Best to you & yours ‼️
Greetings from a truly hot home city ! 😎😉

Thanks a lot dear friend HS for your kind comments and so happy to know you liked my funky and crazy watches. Yes, the Sectora is as funky as it gets...
... and my wife is happy to wear it from time to time.
Enjoy your weekend too my dear HS! Cheers! Abel
Agree with you that the 007 watch is very funny and can start a conversation specially if the other party is a 007 fan too. Lol!
I envy your hot weather as cold season is not my favorite part of the year.
Look forward to view your own choices this weekend!
Some truly amazing and funky watches 👌🏻
Love that case design from your Jean D’Eve Sectora👌🏻😘
Thank you so much my friend. Yes, the case of Sectora reminds me of the instruments panel of cars from the 1960´s/70´s.
Thank you Captain!! An interesting design I feel. And not easy to find others wearing them.
I remember seeing the Jean D’Eve Sectora at a store (Tiffany's NYC 5th Avenue flagship?) as a kid
It stuck with me for decades, and I only recently thought to look it up to see what the heck that thing was
Two truly cool and rarely seen pieces 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Great contribution Abel and as you say, in comparison Omega, Rolex, Seiko and the other official 007 watches are just marketing exercises in comparison to this 😁👌🏻
Crazy and a lot of fun …
Hello dear Abel and friends !
I hope everyone is looking forward to a wonderful weekend.
The Blake & Mortimer is always a fun companion on your wrist ..
Crazy adventures await 
)
)Back later with more crazy, fun watches !
Best regards
Captain
Hello dear Captain!! I was expecting this watch was being shared this weekend: your B&M is a very fun companion on your wrist no doubt.
Of course some crazy adventures are expected... as well as some more crezy and fun watches from your collection.
Look forward to that! Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend. Abel
