IWC (I wanna see) Titanium today
I pulled out one of my IWC GST Ti twins and headed down to the beach on the bay...
It was quiet when we arrived, as these birds were looking for breakfast.
I walked out a dock to get a better shot of the IWC GST Chrono Rattrapante (split second). The boat behind the watch is called My Way, but I didn't see any sign of Frank
Butterflies were nice though.
I got this outfit a few weeks ago and thought I'd give it a try for the WristScan. I know it's not flashy, but I'm a bit conservative.
I was scanning the foliage and the water, then exclaimed "Oh my gosh, look at those tomatoes!"
My wife said "That's rude," looking at the electric boat cruising by on our right.
I protested "I didn't mean those pink ladies, I meant the tomatoes! in that garden on our left!"

The August WS - βBeach Editionβ - is up and live ποΈ
As announced earlier this week, the theme for this monthβs WS will be βBeach Editionβ. As for many of us itβs the height of summer (or for those from the Sourhern Hemisphere the time to reminisce about it π), it felt like a suitable choice to share what w...
If this is what you manage when itβs not your typeβ¦
I am really scared to think of what youβd post if it was - great shots all and fitting the theme to a T ππ»ππ»
Not bad for a person who is not a beach type dear friend S F! ha ha ha! Great shots my friend and great beach/sea watches to share here to answer the Theme.
IΒ΄m specially fond of your Captain Cook sunset shot. ThatΒ΄s a winner! Have a nice weekend, Abel
haha thks dear Abel! While it is not my thing to hang around a beach in my beach shorts....
you will probably find me walking around beaches enjoying some ocean breeze and sun setπ
Itβs a beach life :-)) ..
Hello dear friends ! Hope you are enjoying the beach life somewhere special this season β¦ Walk this way friends β¦ Donβt forget to rehydrate ) β¦ Best regards Captain ...
Very cool entriesβ¦
Finally found my Doxa after months, so will need to post something there π As for hydration, hereβs to that ππΊ ...
And I am hungryβ¦
If there is one downside to π«π· itβs that in most places lunch stops at 2 and dinner doesnβt start till later, leaving a hunger gap for me to push through π±
Great & cool beach shots dear Captain! And superb choices to take on the wrist while at beach or sea. I specially love the Doxa shot. It reflectes the relaxing mood of laying in the sand ...!
... and viewing the sea in a sunny day. Well played my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel
Oh Boy! Here we go!
Hmmm, out of the many beach photos.... which to choose??!??!? ...
And what a pair chosen!
Czapek in the surf is certainly one of the unique ones and the color coordination on the other shot is epic ππ»ππ»
Well, technically, it is my back yard (after the heated swimming pool).
The Czapek Monochrome is a strap monster Note: Below pics are not for this weekend's WPS 'contest'... loving the beach theme. Enjoy Your Time ...
Thanks, and the Caribbean is nice.
Consider St. Barths or the area if you desire. Tahiti / French Polynesia is also wonderful.
Currently no beach for me unfortunately but will see if i can find some memories
Some sweat memories π. Hagwe ππ»π€ ...
There is a certain floater that I was expecting to see from you π
Fabulous shots my friend - it appears beach really is up your alley ππ»ππ»ποΈ
Hello watchonthewrists! Beautyful shots and superb watches as usual you are sharing here. I have told you hwo much I love your Staudt timepiece and I repeat it here.
The Red Mad1 is an intriguing watch which I would like to view in the metal. I like it a lot too. I confess any of the watches in your collection would make me a very happy man. Keep enjoying your collection and by the sea places so much my friend. Hagwe,...
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play..
Team, π - Yes, summer always is a fun and fine season, bringing out some from the watchbox, which maybe donβt get the attention, they deserve.. - In my case, I donβt have that many - if any - real beach shots; so I decided for the simpler βsummer timeβ th...
Your summery shotsβ¦
Both qualify and theyβre superb ππ»ππ» Whether itβs a beach or the way there, both are good ones ππ»ποΈ
Hello dear friend HS! You did a great job with your selection of shots capturing the feeling of holidays near beach and sunny days (bee it lake, pool or sea all qualify I feel)
Great watches from you fine collection you choose to share and as usual it is not easy for me to pick just one of them as favorite. As you know we share a good bunch of watches in our respective collection meaning we have very similar horological tastes. ...
Underwater shots garner an added bonus ππ»ππ»π€Ώ
Nice to see some of the dive watches actually used as designed πππ»
Yes - and this one is a great beach watch.
The ceramic case and bezel is scratch proof and plenty of water resistance general messing around in the water.
Thanks Abel.
This one on the sailcloth strap is pretty much indestructible for the summer - and the blue sun-ray dial is a stunner. ...
Dear Abel, appreciate your kind comment.
While by most collectors standards this watch has no special recognition, for the once in the know, itβs a βspecialβ model due to the fact that is the first to pay homage to the deep-sea diving and a special edition in the sea of Rolex watches, with itβs ...
Hello dear Zsolt. I agree with your thoughts about this watch. I also own same Cameron version which I bought a few years ago after gifting my original black dial version to my son.
I like the watch so much as a collectorΒ΄s piece being a milestone in the Rolex diving watches and in the history of diving watches in general and a demonstration of the achievements of Rolex in the technical and watch making aspects. The overall quality a...
Good evening KM!!
Like the theme π of Beach / Holidays Refreshments are an important part of holidays. Waiting for the Mrs before heading out for the evening. Earlier today. A quick in then out as an abundance of jellyfish πͺΌtoday. I may return this weekend with a couple mo...
Please do!
Just like we keep returning to the beach, feel free to add shots throughout the weekend! And refreshments are a critical component of a healthy beach experience πππΈ
Agree with you Kurt about refreshments!! And that jellyfish presence is always an annoyance when we wish to enjoy the sea. Your Vulcain diver is so charming...
... and it looks wonderful with that steel bracelet. Hagwe, Abel
Weβve had a mini heatwave this last week Abel.
Couple that with a change in wind direction and all of a sudden jellyfish π Thank you, I have been looking at getting a Skindiver type watch for a while now. I originally was going for the orange dial but then I came across this one with silver/white dial...
Interesting to know about this special edition of the Vulcain Skindiver. You were lucky indeed to get this special and so limited edition which looks gorgeous.
Regarding jellyfish yes, it also happens with some frequence in the Miami Beach area were I often take some vacation days and they are truly annoying to swim with them around. Best thing it is to wait till they are gone. Keep enjoying so much that beautif...
Killing time waiting for my spouse.
The white wall of the apartment provides perhaps a perfect backdrop. Regards, Kurt.

Will be wearing the survival watch this weekend, y'all burn a candle for me please ...... . ...
These look truly enticing!
Hope the storm is not a bad one, whether actual or metaphorical π€π»ππ»
There's only one ...
... idiot who knows what's coming this weekend ;-) ... let's hope he uses the last little brain cell left in that empty head. We had to reschedule our complete holiday for the coming weeks due to airlines cancelling flights to the Holy Land.
I cross my fingers for you dear Bim! In the meantime enjoy your tempting meal and the sea. The Tuna MM is a fantastic watch no doubt and the Seiko brother seems the same though...
... IΒ΄m not familiar with that one, You canΒ΄t never go wrong with a Seiko diver! Take care my friend. Best, Abel
Your combos are superb as alwaysβ¦
And with a Negroni present, the beach becomes optional ππ₯ The strap pairings are epic ππ»ππ»
Beautiful summer/beach shots dear Yacomino, and wonderful watch choices as well. I specially love your first Tudor shot and your Chopard. Of course you know my love for the Panerai ones too.
Enjoy your weekend and holidays so much. Cheers! Abel
Hello dear friend KM! I love the theme as I love enjoyingβ¦

These are epic, Abel!
The third shot (Doxa) absolutely took my breath away and the rest are not far behind. Clearly a theme close to your heart ππ»ποΈ

Wow !.. What a bunch of Super Shots !! ππ

Itβs great to see you enjoying your Blancpain and the beach shots of your Panerai are particularly cool but not forgetting the epic Doxa. Best regards Captain

Yes one of my favourite pictures. Iβm always trying different things and seeing how good or bad the outcome is. π All the best Cpt.
Escape to the coast
Hi All It's always good to escape to the coast! Enjoy the sun π Cheers JML ...
Great photos jml,
particularly 2 and 5 always admire your posts of this watch. Nice to see the Emas getting wet and thatβs a delicious looking fish and chips with a 99 to finish! Regards
Thanks π
Always hard to resist the pull of fish & chips & a 99 when at the seaside Cheers JML
Fully share the sentimentβ¦
Unfortunately the kids have somewhat thwarted my plans for the coast this weekend π€·π»ββοΈ Anyhow, superb shots and that fish and chips and dessert afterwards add a great element πππ»ππ»
Looking forward to seeing the results!
Your seaside shots are always a pleasure ππ»ποΈ
Very nice on the strap ππ»ππ»
Did you manage to get the custom straps made for it in the end?
I'm pleased to note that...
Most of you guys are doing well and heaving fun! Enjoy the beaches around the world! ...
Likewise to you!
Looking like youβre enjoying them in company, which is the best way ππ»ππ»ππ»
Hi Abel.
Just counting the hours left to leave to Sardinia where, with a bit of luck, I'll be able to take some underwater photo (no SCUBA diving unfortunately)! Hope you and your family are ok. See you soon here! Simone
Hello dear Simone!! How nice to know you are visiting Sardinia. A pending visit in my wish list. I know there are beautiful waters and coves to explore there. If not scuba diving you may ...
... do some snorkeling. Lots of opportunities there for great shots both under and above water in that lovely place. Enjoy your trip so much!! We are doing well, expecting to be able to travel again soon!! Best cordial regards, Abel
I'll be snorkelling as much as possible!
And will post photgraphs, of course. Best regards, Simone

Hello again KM, last two from me. I struggled sleeping the first night of this holiday so I took the opportunity to get down to the shore early and play about. I look at this photo and wonder why do I chase others when if I was honest I have all the watch...
Glad you got up early!
Both shots are absolutely epic ππ»ππ»ππ»ποΈ Thanks so much for adding these ππ»ππ»ππ»
The thanks go to you - the shots were amazing!
You might also want to look at the results thread π
Fantastic pictures!!
The sunrise shot is π and the shingle beach photo was phenomenal! It reminded me of a long-ago weekend on Orford Ness (Suffolk coast). Where in Dorset was it? Mike
Hello Mike, thank you for kind words.
It is the start of Chesil Beach at Portland. A Spit, same as Orford Ness.

Relax and enjoy the view β¦ Especially on the beach ) β¦ Doxa fits the bill perfectly β¦ Surfs up ! β¦ Shorts optional β¦ Enjoy the good times friends ! Best regards Captain ...
So a truly is the watch for the beach ποΈ
And your shots demonstrate it to a T! Been wearing my Searambler for two days straight but no decent shot came out just yet π€·π»ββοΈπ€¦π»ββοΈ
Nice to see another ABR here ππ»ππ»
For me this has long been a go to beach watch, even if it was never designed as such π
It's literally perfect for the beach π
It has the required WR, and the design is incredibly easy to clean.... Plus, obviously, it doesn't cost a lot which can't be underestimated in a crowded beach environment........
Also very stealthy π₯·π»
Donβt mean the carbon fiber dial, just that for 99,99% of people itβs completely anonymous and hence not a target ππ»
Don't go in the water if you don't know how to swim
Lifeguards can't be everywhere :-( ...
Not at all a problem - the shots are really cool ππ»ππ»π
