This week's Wristscan is all about watches that have surprised you. Ever bought a watch thinking that you liked it, but it turns out you love it? Ever bought a watch thinking that it was the best purchase ever, only to find you sold it because it failed t...
. . . surprise." Only one unpleasant surprise over the years; that would be the RGM 222 which I was so prepared to like . . . . . . but unable to bond with. Looking at it now, it still punches the right buttons; irl, underwhelming. The main attraction was...
Watches fulfills your theme. First is this simple Speedmaster "Melbourne". Don't know why but I keep wearing it. Comfortable, reliable and accurate, despite several urban myths about the movement. Second is this JLC. Big, bold and I like it. I never imagi...
.. one of the (Navy Seal ?) iterations, strong but still balanced character.. Personally, I'm more familiar with the 2crown variant; guess, our friends Blomman & Nico own Best & Happy Easter ! :)
Each time I look at this "plain and simple" time only watch... I see something new - very surprising! :) Another surprising thing about this watch is that it made me change my wearing habits..... Normally one watch/one day maximum per week. This one have ...
..these would be, for this week's theme: 1) The Grand Lange 1 Lumen : I noticed that I have been giving this more and more wrist time. Just goes so well with a suit IMHO Was on the way back from a meeting and couldn't resist to take this with this backgro...
Surprised me a lot. I got it thinking it\'s cool, I like it and also becos I wanted to support my AD sales friend lol. Also thought it\'s cool to have a first Indie, something the ultra conservative (in character and taste!) resisted for a long time. I th...
A small town in Sicily, a Breguet AD, I asked for the Reserve du Patron and he came out with this one... I just bought it, while I didn't plan to buy anything during this trip. Still with me, for almost 11 years, now. HAGWE. Nicolas ...

. . . given the theme, Nicolas. Uncharacteristic choice of dial color, case design, and as blomman noted, a calendar complication on top of a chronograph. Funny about this particular watch: it's one of those I find unappealing when viewed online, but magn...
.. Well, friends - in fact it has been a rather simple story about Happy - go lucky, and Lucky - go happy: Had been looking and hunting a Vintage Rolex Explorer I for almost 3 years; it should be one with gilt, and from the fifties. I had always enjoyed s...
. . . and not in appreciation. (After all, who doesn't appreciate a vintage Explorer?!) There've been a few surprise findings in my experience, too, but the surprise surrounding this one . . . . . . was surreal. amp;fi=881&pi=5819958&ti=856463&...
. . . the Eastern churches mark the next Sunday as Easter, but as with Christmas, we tend to recognize both celebrations. That's fine for grown-ups, but as kids, we only got presents on one Christmas, and had to dress up for Easter twice in one week. :-)
Well, my 2 last arrivals were some kind of a surprise, came accross these two and couldn't really decide so took both!... Mathey Tissot Type XX and Breitling AVI 765CP, two pilot chronos from the 50s... Have a great easter WE Matt ...
