As announced on Wednesday, this weekend’s theme is Watches and Water. As summer is coming to a close for most of us, it could be a nice last hurrah 😁 And for those in the currently wintry Southern Hemisphere, snow shots are acceptable, too - water in all ...  

I love this theme and will return later with my entry. Have a nice weekend dear KM and all friends here! Cheers, Abel PS: Beautiful opening shot!!

Brilliant theme Here my entries HAGWE Hans ...  

The Dynamic blue dial is stunning and the Ranchero an old favorite of mine. Lovely SM example you share as well. Hagwe! Abel

Thank you so much Abel Best regards Hans

The serenity of your shots, the compositions - sublime!

Living in Denmark it is always close to the water 💦 Also many of my water pictures are taken close to our summer house Best regards Hans

From 1970 I would guess...

and 1972

I really believe Omega was in to something with the first generation Dynamic when it comes to wear comfort and looks Best regards Hans

The weekend will be short and eventful unfortunately - first weekend in the new place with hundreds of unpacked boxes. And tomorrow morning embarking on a business trip (my wife is over the moon as you can imagine) 😂🤷🏻‍♂️ But all on the right path 😊👍🏻 Loo... 

Will be trying to help you with this WS event. Take care and have a safe flight dear friend. Best cordial regards, Abel

Much appreciated! Hopefully some normality will return soon 😊🤞🏻 We are on a good way 👍🏻

Personally I had great ideas for some new watch and water shots this summer but unfortunately the weather had other plans and the times the weather was favourable I was at work. Never mind fingers crossed for a good August/September🤞🏻 Anyhow here’s a sele...  

Some fantastic photos.

Thank you!

I should wear it more often really, always brings a smile.

This was an early morning shot whilst walking the dog one weekend. Margot (our dog) was going nuts on the beach while I was photographing. Typical Diva 🤣

Shared in beautiful pictures. I’m specially fond of your Pogue Seiko and the moody Tudor shot on the rocks. Enjoy your weekend! Cheers Abel

There can be decades of bad weather summers 😁👍🏻 Really great shots from shore and water both - seems to be a fitting theme 😊

Thanks for the kind words 🙏🏻

Is truly next level 😁 Love the shot!

Ofcourse there are a few that can take the dip easily 😉 Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗 ...  

… you managed so well to get these nice shots of your great selection Watchonthewrists. Thank you so much for sharing!! Hagwe Abel

And the shots are superb! Difficult to choose a favorite although your floatie is simply out of this world 👏🏻👌🏻

Hi A few coastal shots. Cheers JML ...  

… are my favorites. Hagwe! Abel

While we’ve moved much further from the seaside now, the lakeshore should hopefully compensate and offer some all year round water, too. Great shots as always, JML!

Enjoy the lakes

Great effect you have mastered here Abel. Regards Kurt.

Glad you like these shots and appreciate your kind compliments! Best cordial regards Abel

I’m happy you like these shots! Best cordial regards Abel

One can see that diving and seaside activities more generally are deeply embedded in your blood, Abel! While the Doxa shot is one of my long time favorites, the breadth and scope of what you show is mind boggling 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

I send you my best cordial regards and good wishes my friend. Abel

Have a nice weekend! Abel

Water Watches in action.

I particularly like the shot of your “Golden”Seiko !

Glad you liked the Golden Seiko shot! Best cordial regards Abel

Like how your pool shots contrast to what we have seen from others so far this weekend! Many options out there! The ROO really works well in the second picture 👏🏻👌🏻

Would love to add one someday 🤞🏻 Once the move is settled, I am settled at the new work and watches start getting more airtime again 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Have a nice weekend my friend. Best, Abel

Here come some of mine! While water is now much nearer than in the past homes the time for actually going out and taking some fresh shots has been elusive in the last days since we moved. So a combination of archive (some frozen) and two fresh faraway wat...

I am very much hoping for some new golden JLC period to come 😊🤞🏻 Thanks for the kind words and comments 🙏🏻

Than their own marketing - bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

And some great photos already 😀. I love water related watch photos and it’s cool to see so many. So I grabbed my trunks and towel and headed to the beach. Here are a couple of shots from today in the Baltic and some from this year. Today at the beach Murk...  

Very cool shoreside shots across seasons 👌🏻💦

and your kind comments.

Stunning shot of your new version of Air King! Great shot! I´m curious about the bronze watch you show here. I had never seen before. Can you tell us about its brand? A very interesting piece. Enjoy your weekend! Best cordial regards, Abel

Thanks for looking, the sub is a real favourite of mine I feel that it’s very much a transitional watch with the 4 lines and RRR rehaut, but still keeping the more size traditional case and the insert. Looking at my water shots it’s definitely my beach fa... 

... The 14060M is also a favorite of mine to take it to beach or pool or for every day wearing. I also love so much the looks of the "pre-ceramic" Submariners. Though I accept the modern Subs are more refined in their making and movement I feel the older ... 

I am yet to try the latest no date sub, but like you I really like the older models, I hope one day to add a 5513 to my collection as I really like the look it has that the plexiglass gives adding another dimension to cool old look. Thanks for you kind wo... 

Just a personal point of view. The 5513 would be a great addition to your collection. Indeed the plexy and domed crystal adds charm and vintage look to the classic Submariner. My pleasure to comment about Richard watches and we must thank you to call our ... 

Have the newer sub, that’s surely the best way to be able to appreciate the benefits of both old and new. I enjoyed also seeing your splash pics again. I think I will have to try some of those, but as I think it might take me a while to get the shot I wil... 

... be replicated though. But this matter only can be appreciated by old timers or vintage watch lovers. New generations of users or collectors will be delighted with the new Submariners no doubt. I´m happy you liked the splash shots. They are easy to rep... 

Nice one Drek.

Likewise it’s always great to see some of those shots again of yours along the English coast line and the underwater Tudor is just great

..of some great watches. Lovely!

Not surprised by your choices given your affinity with Doxa and GMTM with black inserts! Have a great weekend!

The Doxa angle and Freak shot are freakishly good 😁👍🏻👌🏻

That’s a 13-year-old me at the helm of Dad’s Donzi, wearing the Air King he gave to me earlier that month. We were headed out to go fishing from our Long Beach NY home. Those were the days. Dad, the NY home, and the Donzi are gone now. The watch, after 55...  

Beautiful post around a watch that´s a keeper for life. Hagwe, Abel

.. and what a fantastic name for a boat!

This is the most important aspect of our hobby, I guess - the watches are vessels for saving memories, of people and events both. And a great theme to create friendships over 😊👍🏻

Water was there for back up 😅

Expertly played I have to say 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love the water reflexes on your Tudor shot and specially like the stunning chilly shot of your Panerai. Enjoy your weekend my dear friend. Best, Abel

It’s been a hectic weekend 🙏

Same here! Have a good week ahead!! Best Abel

I shall do my very best 😉

I hope it will be a quiet week here… depending results of today elections!!

I really like the Panerai shot, like a watch porthole starting its descent to the depths 👍

You seem to be another one of the members for whom the theme appears to have been made 👍🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

And we got to see some wonderful “ water watches “ as a result KMII . I realised I surprisingly have almost no actual shots against water except one taken recently on a vacation at an island off the Australian coast so here it is And the actual watch more...

You really captured just how, under water, the watch changes with the dappled light and magnification 😀😀

Thanks… hadn’t used that camera underwater yet… Pleasantly surprised.
