WristScan

Dear Fellow Purists, We are all collectors, which in itself means a healthy amount of OCD behaviour and procrastination (well, at least for me it does). But ever so often, there are days when one is just not in the mood to engage the brain to chose a watc...  

Both offer excellent value for money, and are hugely enjoyable on the wrist! The Hammy was bought on impulse at the airport, enroute to Hong Kong, just before Christmas 2018. Great weekend and travel watch! The Hajime Asaoka 'Chrono Tokyo' was another tha...  

Discrete and reliable with vintage style. Great choice 👌

The no date Hamilton and the ‘Chrono Tokyo’ branded Kurono - well chosen indeed! Still looking at adding one of the latter, when circumstances permit 🤞🏻👍🏻

The Habring2 Felix. Can dress up or down (just by changing a strap), is easy to set and always fun. Plus sufficiently stealthy that it’s not a problem wearing practically anywhere. Have a great weekend! ...  

Reminds me a little bit of CREDOR EICHI II

It’s always good to see your beautiful Habring2. Flexible enough for a modern schedule. Hope that you and your family have a great weekend. Kind regards The Captain

Had tons of meat to replace the blood the mesozoic mosquitoes 🦟 here suck out of me every day 😉

You can wear it everyday . Well played my friend

And fully agree with you. Plus it has good memories associated with it, so a double bonus 👍🏻👌🏻

... no brainer watch! Beautiful timepiece and shots dear friend KM!! Hagwe! Abel

Your always kind words, Abel! 🙏🏻

sturdy and ready to go anytime, anywhere! Have a good weekend! Best, SF BP FF 16710 GMTM ...  

Where was the one of the Blancpain taken?

Lovely watches to wear anytime!! Hagwe! Abel

Been a while since I have seen this generation FF on a bracelet 👌🏻👍🏻

I am more attracted to this version of FF.. in white opaline.... ...  

yes, they're quartz so that i don't even need to set the time before putting them on a sportier look and a more dressy look have a great weekend everyone! ...  

Was actually thinking of posting my SBGX097 here for exactly the same reason 👍🏻

... the Bathyscaphe Chronographe Flyback in stainless steel with a meteor grey sunburst dial, individualized a bit with the TTAL sailcloth strap. Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers Henrik ...  

But a gorgeous watch nonetheless. Very interesting configuration.

This one is still on the list somewhere for its 5 Hz movement 😊👍🏻

The BB58 is seldom far from my wrist and is almost a daily wearer. I usually change it for a vintage watch for the evening and I have to make a conscious decision to get a different one from the safe in the morning. The BB58 is a fine watch. Regards Kev. ...  

HAGWE ...  

.

They seem to fit the theme like a glove

And I feel they have done a great job with it 👍🏻

...  

...  

Am I right in thinking that the Air King gets a lot of wrist time, and is one that you always take with you when you travel?

You can’t go wrong with any of them! You share them with your usual superb photography! Abrazos amigo mio!! Abel

Still have to say my preference would be for the Duometre here 👍🏻

They have made some great tool watches over the years. Hope that you are keeping well and that you and your family are enjoying the weekend.

No bling bling, serious, conversation piece when a watch maniac crosses my path ...  

This place is full of them !

And robust enough for anything one is likely to throw at a mechanical watch 👌🏻

Ventura V-matic Master II Useful all around the house (timing espresso shots) but also can be worn for most other occasions. Along with the chronograph function has a discrete pointer date. 200 bar water resistance, lume, toughened titanium case and brace...  

saw the photo credit at the end of the post.

Although I was hoping you’d go for the Lip 😉

but without any guarantee of water resistance, I try to be more careful with it.

A stealthy piece and perfect for WristScan this weekend.

It is just so useful...

...  

...  

Very versatile and fuss free watch

perhaps the kinder expression would be my no brainer... ...  

For some reason, the Omega Planet Ocean is really popular with the sailing community here in Hong Kong

This one (2500) is great and tough but nothing compared to the newer movements. I have the 9300 in my PO Chrono and DSOTM and they are freakishly accurate. More accurate than my wife’s quartz.

What more could we ask for. Excellent choice.

The watch getting the most wrist time last year: The watch that has been on my wrist the most time the last three years: ...  

Try to wear them all as much as possible but if i have to choose a few watches that i would pick without thinking it would have to be these ...  

Future classics ?

However these to BB58 are worth every penny imho . So glad i have them in my collection . There perfect dailies

Covers all bases and is a financial no brainier 👍

...considering it just came out a few days ago and you've already got one.

When they released it I called the nearest AD to put me on the list , then he told me he still had one for sale 😳. I jumped in my car and a hour later i had it on my wrist 🤗

Cannot blame you there 👌🏻 Great choices, as always 👍🏻

Everything is spot on with this watch imho

if i do not wear my Omega. I am out control if i not wear my Omega. So each day i wear my Omega. I am careful with it, so if i go to do work like washing my car, packing a thing, connecting audio equipment, i wear another watch or no watch. I feel my Omeg...  

Hi My long term no brained is the usual suspect & has been for a while. Not been a day where I don't wear it. My current no brained is one I've had for more than 20 years - been wearing it last few weeks. Enjoying wearing them both, both are automatic & c...  

No message body

Easy to enjoy.

Yes it is hardy and of exceptional case finishing. I actually like fiddling with the pebble smooth edges of the case.

Six years of daily wear of the Urushi? Perfect and a dedication rarely seen 👌🏻👍🏻

... every member here will have at least one "auto pilot mode" watch so this week end promises to have many submissions answering your challenge. Your Date Just and Explorer II are two wonderful watches which illustrates this type of watches. I have at le...  

Your selection is exactly what I expected some entries to be. Can't argue with a Seiko diver and a simple, no frills Oyster.

... kind comments about my watch selection!! Have a nice and very enjoyable weekend! Cheers! Abel

The Turtle was a bit of a surprise. Two fantastic choices, Abel 👌🏻

Seiko makes some wonderful highly reliable and tough watches like this turtle which are wonderful no brainers. I put mine to work many times specially when I know I’ll be walking in certain parts of my City! 😉 Have a nice and safe weekend my friend! Best!... 

Takes some beating for this theme. Robust but comfortable on the wrist and not to big so discreet when required. Great choice and any Seiko is a no brainer at anytime. Have a great weekend dear Abel.

... agree with your thoughts about these two no brainers. I give much wrist time to both of them. Hagwe my dear friend! Abel

...  

How can you go wrong, the perfect size ... Natural elements, no problem... The real “No” Brainer ... Have a great weekend friends Kind regards The Captain ...  

Just a little fun ;-)) Have a great weekend.

... a no brainer my dear Captain! Though yours is a superb vintage example! The Doxa is an excellent choice Also a true work horse! The Swatch a true surprise: so joyful and fun. A nice option for a no brainer no doubt! Hagwe my dear friend! Abel

...  

It’s gotta be this fuss-free piece. I don’t have to babysit it, and it can suit almost any situation. ...  

1) The Longines Legend Diver 2) Brietling Superocean 3) Omega Seamaster 300 (older models, pre-METAS update) 4) Maybe a PAM Luminor Base model Honestly Nic, I would have posted a Rolex Sub (pre-plastic surgery versions) but I cannot buy them back anymore,... 

Good choice 👍

...  

Excellent choice for this weekend.

...  

The Rolex Sea-Dweller is an excellent tool watch and a certain no brainer. Have a great weekend Tony.

... you share here!! That’s an awesome display! I feel it wouldn’t be so easy for me to choose only one among so many exquisite options!! May be a different one each day would work fine for me!! Lol! Well played my dear friend! Abel

. . . are the two that hack. I'm obsessive when it comes to time-setting; can spend five minutes getting a vintage non-hacking Omega just right. Which is ok if I have the time to fiddle. When I don't, it's the Dorn or the Rail. Slap 'em on 'n go! Art ...  

Two excellent choices and both with completely different looks. The bracelet on your Railmaster is very cool. Have a great weekend Art.

The Dorn is so unique! And the Railmaster a classic! And both hack!! Lol!! A big Hug for you my dear friend! Hagwe!! Abel

. . . as I doubt there's another dial in the same shade of grey, and even less likely inked with black print. Off to go target shooting for the first time in twenty years . . . hope your weekend has been enjoyable, Abel! Warmest, Art

... guidance attempt some shots. I would love to visit the shooting range in your area. I wish I will be able to visit you some time in a near future. (you know which watch I will be wearing ) Cheers! Abel

Stealthy!

. . . next Dorn project: 04.0. Best, Art

are only these two i can safely wear to work as they can be washed after attending to patients. Only bracleted watches,no straps for now,unless after work Looking forward to pandemic end ...  

Both very cool watches. Enjoy !

Goes with anything, great for travel (dual time), more than one look. Truly a no-brainer! ...  

Have a great weekend and thank you for joining us for WristScan.

...  

6 weeks now...versatile, washable and extremely comfortable ...  

Beautiful shot against a yummy background!! Hagwe! Abel

Lockdowns present the best time for the family to share a bbq together since we couldn't leave the home much Richard

I wish I had a built-in "autopilot mode"! For the past few years, the watch that I pick with the least amount of thinking -- the one I care about the least, in a sense -- is this 1680 red sub. I paid relatively little for it, since some of the lume plots ...
