WristScan

Hi All, I know many of us look forward to the weekly WristScan thread and the quality of the images and the thought that goes into the compositions continues to amaze me. Art, as Moderator, has previously undertaken the pleasant task of anointing a photog...

i'm away for several days and may not have internet access, but here's an old pic of a watch i'm taking with me. i'm going to the seaside. if i get a chance i'll take some pics and post them. have a good week Graham...  

...great vacation and weekend Graham, you probably deserve it I will also go to the seaside. Our Summerhouse at the seaside. Also no internet connection (yet...) Best regards Hans

not really a vacation Hans, but thanks. i'm distancing myself from a difficult situation here and taking the opportunity to visit my elderly, but very sprightly parents. best Graham

why the limited internet access... However, my old mom is after dad pasted away getting computer lessons (no internet access yet) Best regards Hans

it was actually very simple. i put the watch onto a piece of thin ice at the edge of a lake so you can see the water underneath it. i then used photoshop to change it to B&W, changed some of the highlights a bit and that was it. its one of my best pics i ... 

. . . those hard liquor photos that supposedly have subliminal images embedded in the ice cubes. For some strange reason, I feel compelled to go out and buy an Omega ;-) . . . cordially, Art

i think i know the ad's you mean. it was just a lucky shot and a bit of a play, but i wholeheartedly agree, you should go out and buy an Omega coincidentally, i went to the ancient city of Norwich, Norfolk today, the city i was born in, and had great fun ...

Plenty of rabbits, hares, birds, kangaroos and a lone fox that morning, but I rarely see wombats in the wild these days. No fish either, but it was a beautiful morning to sit by the river and contemplate life. A

I was passing Healesville, and just some clicks (say miles) outside the sanctuary did I see some small forest and a bunch of vombats around there. (However also a lot of Koalas and some Forest Kingfishers...What a peaceful moment... Best Hans Mr Phascolom...

I think this GO Nav looks even better in person , good size for my wrist . nice case and crown plus superb movement. Loving the way this one wears........I think its me ! Have a good one everybody ! Best Drew This message has been edited by aboen on 2010-...  

Hello Drew, Nice wrist shot of the GO, looking good. HAGWE! -MW

Drew, The blue hands really make the watch stand out. As they say wear it in good health my friend! -MW

Very nice piece, though I like the Pilot dial more. Cheers, -- Richard.

The reflection off the crystal goes well with the water scene in the background. I wouldn't mind having this as the weekly masthead! -MW

HAGWE...  

What a superb one, Jeff! Each time I try to stay far away from the 6542, something kindly reminds me this watch... Life is so cruel! Best, Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2010-02-05 02:24:27

I agree with Nicolas. This is the Master of all GMT. It makes my humble 1675 to run to the end of the drawer. Cheers, Nilo

That is a very nice watch, GEO. But why is the 3 in mirror shape? -Flere

Ah, stupid me. Its a 3 allright, but it is an E in mirror. Must be because of the jetlag. I am for a few days now in Tokyo, going home tomorrow. I cannot wear this now because it is at Blancpain for servicing. I hope it is back soon. < > HAGWE - Flere Thi...

Hi foullis, your vintage JLC on your 3. pic is a great classic timepiece - my congratulations! Best, anaesdoc

It's the oldest, produced in circa 1948, SS case, caliber 428. Cheers, Milan

It is funny, but to me each of these looks so much better on the wrist than in stand alone shots. They were meant to be worn, clearly, and you wear them well. You have given them new life. Best, respo

I seldom post static shots of my watches, unless I am trying to illustrate a point. Perhaps partly because my photographic skills are not up to it, but also because I like to see the 'life' that a wristshot imparts. That's probably why I particularly look... 

Yes, you're right. Both of them are small, but for me light wrist OK, my taste. Cheers, Milan

. . . is brilliant! What a design . . . please tell us more about it. Impatiently, Art

. . . wore a Rolex ;-) . . .

Getting ready for a short trip. Just selected this one.... A great weekend to all, Nilo...  

... but I love the 1680, principally because of the plexi and cyclops. Killer patina and photo, Nilo. From what year is your watch? Thanks for posting it. Andrew

Andrew, This 1680 is not that old. Just 31 years. It's a 6 mil - 1979. Cheers, Nilo

... 1979 seems recent. It's developed a great patina, though. Very nice. A

I'd rather say ...Deliciously patined! HAGWE, Nicolas

The dial coronet is pure white. I agree about the patina. I love this yellow. Cheers, Nilo

And this is my very favorite ALS.This one remains firmly on my short list. Great new photo. What do you tink of the new 1815 Chrono? I have to admit, I prefer yours by a fairly wide margin. respo

nice, but I prefer the old one for several reasons: the multilever dial - which I would really miss the discreet "A. Lange & Söhne" at the edge the "chronograph" look (compared to the plain "dress watch" look of the new one) "size" on the wrist (just the ...

Hi Andrew, thanks for your proposal to vote the "Pic of the week". Sadly, this means, regarding my photographis skills, I will never be on the masthead photo ever again! Sigh! This is my week´s contribution, the JLC MUT in SS, a classic for a free weekend...  

HAGWE! -- Richard.

Another feature of this watch, that I particularly value: it is really lightweight and stays almost unnoticed on your wrist. Best regards, anaesdoc

Best, respo

Kind regards, anaesdoc

. . . some of us will vote for the cleverest or most endearing photo, and others will vote for a photo that portrays a watch we've never seen before. Let's give it a try . . . hopefully, Art

This shall be my motto, because even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while ! (Credit to an unknown poster on the net) Best regards, anaesdoc...  

BTW, did you notice you came up to the frightening number of 24.000 posts? You are still eating, sleeping, excercising etc.? A puzzled anaesdoc...  

Some will vote for a killer watch, or perhaps an image concept, or evident photographic skills, and we might be surprised by the outcome week to week. Several mods will select the images for us to vote on, so there will be two layers to the process. I am ...

you need a rugged watch.. so chose the Polaris for today.. lovely watch but OEM strap is a big let down. I am a big fan of JLC -have a few in my collection- but quality of straps and deployments (to put precisely, lack of it) is generally disappointing.....  

We are waiting for you, Patrice and me... It was a great moment, indeed. Now the question is : How did you recover from this experience ( I mean, the watch) ? Best, Nicolas

inside information my friend...... I recovered quite well... my banker did not..... I am coming this month as I am picking up something new.... I will let you know on Monday... and hopefully we can all meet again..... Cheers
