WristScan

Dear friends, Most of us are having to stay home and socially distance from friends and even family, but if you’re like me you’ve been getting creative to keep life interesting and I’m sure that that includes a few watches. Show us anything that’s been ke...

Welcome to this edition of WristScan. Your Vacheron looks splendid, nice shots, especially the one showing the movement. Have you had this one on your wrist all week ?

Since the Octo is at the shop! Two watches on the selling block, maybe three. Others are just there LOL Have not been to my safe in forever.

... helps to isolate ourselves for some minutes from the reality around us. I feel we collectors and watch lovers are fortunate to have these little toys to play with and to have some moments of joy and entertainment. Keep loving and enjoying your beauty ...

Are you enjoying a little self isolation ?

She seems to have run out of protective clothing 😉 On a more serious note I hope everyone stays safe and healthy 🤞🏻

That’s serious ! Keep well and thanks for joining us.

A Lange1 distancing from other tools Excellent. Best regards

Some "home studio" shots: ...  

Your shots are very creative. I like the first one with your Panerai. In the second one your RD looks very cool with the salmon dial, nice watch. Is great to have you joining us for WristScan. Keep well The Captain

... I find this Diver of yours very interesting indeed. Interesting to view you beautiful Milgauss with leather straps. I also wear mine with leather straps since the first day I purchased it, and as a matter of fact its bracelet is absolutely new and nev... 

It was my Paneristi era impulsive purchase, my Wife was looking strange at me when I was playing with this “doll” and watches ...  

but always alone. ...  

One of my favourite Seiko dials. Plenty of time for polishing your cars ;-)) Keep well and stay safe.

... Breguet numerals have something so special which makes a dial so charming and irresistible for me. Keep safe my dear Mike and receive my best wishes and cordial regards, Abel.

Especially from your magic garden 🧘🏻‍♂️

...  

I really like patina on your Oris. Keep well and stay safe.

Great to see your Sinn Brauner. Did that strap come with your watch ? I hope that you and your family are keeping well.

Yes strap came with the watch. Wish you and your family all best

A flame with a strong personality.

This is a top looking SINN! Well done for getting this early best of health to you and all at home

Can I ask which reference this is?

I will participating later with my shots as I am presently very busy working at my office. Days have been very busy and complicated lately as our bussines forms part of the National Food Chain here and we are obliged to work. A big part of our personel ha... 

I do appreciate you turning on your special agent skills to keep us all fed and safe.... To that, I tip my virtual hat to you.

Stay safe my friend! Cheers! Abel.

Abel you are quite right about the current situation that we are all dealing with and sometimes we feel the need to talk about it. I look forward to seeing your photos. Keep well and stay safe my friend. Kind regards The Captain

Stay safe and healthy my friend!

...  

I need to track one down ASAP! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Spending my time with my latest flame: A new time has dawn but it will be only a short lived episode ... Stay healthy and be very fussy about the rules and hygiene measures! ...  

Your Breguet looks fabulous in both shots, but especially on your wrist. Is this piece your favourite ? Kind regards and keep well The Captain

I get the feeling it will be my daily wearer for a long, long time: it is a statement piece. The statement is: I am a collector of mechanical watches! Maybe my permanent wearing watch???

I always find it interesting to hear the reasoning behind pieces in our collections. I’m sure it helps others with making the decision to buy pieces. How’s your week been ?

.... as dentists are adviced to do only emergency treatments at the moment. I am lucky not to own a surgery, as businesses in general will suffer. I looked also into the stock market and bought a small number of shares already and plan to buy some more la... 

Stunning watch to enjoy.

Great BB 👍

I prefer to keep it "intriguing" (I'm not at all happy with it!). Simone

A perfectionist !

Would love to see more of it...

If you refer to the painting, well, you might have to wait a couple of years!!!

It sticks to my wrist every day with its flat bottom, a key difference compared to their siblings. Simone

I think your AP is in safe hands 😮

Great contribution. Love it!

That’s done it for me 😮

Keep safe!! Cheers! Abel

The blue bezel is the perfect colour. Thanks for joining us and keep well.

Staying at home whole days and specially in a big house as ours, means our better half always finds something which needs to be repaired or fixed! So I’m doing as handyman here these days. Fortunately I got enough time to read books which were waiting on ...

Yes the dial of the old DJ must be seen in the metal and under sun light to view how it turned purple. Keep safe my friend and Hagwe! Abel ...

Even when washing dishes. 😅 ...  

And the ZW!

Wearing it can be a good distraction too..If the seconds hand is close to 60 I love to wait for the minute jump. best of health to you and all at home, MJ!

ESP hour jump!

It’s a strong look that suits your style. Thanks for joining us and keep safe.

. . . of succulent berries . . . . . . with Tiffany keeping company on my wrist. Art ...  

delicious berries and watch best regards

. . . the best strawberries to be found anywhere. It's not the variety that's special, it's the way they're picked - their workers only pick ripe berries, and they have to be consumed the same day. Hope all's well, Seeks! Art

And the Strawberries ;-)) That’s a very cool Omega... stunning ! Keep well Art.

. . . their fabulous flavor. Right at this moment I'm squeezing oranges picked from Uncle Jake's orchards for brunch with Dad. Art

I hope that your Dad is keeping well. We must take good care of our elderly parents at this time.

. . . for your ship. ;-)

The Omega pairs so well with the strawberries 🍓

. . . with Tiffany". ;-)

Now go back home with those delicious berries and stay safe my dear friend!! I send my warm regards and good wishes my dear friend!! Hagwe and safe week ahead dear Art! Abel

. . . double-signed 'Tiffany & Co'. Also gold, although not sure if it was 14 kt like mine, or 18. Identical dial and hands. Tiffany must've ordered a batch in '46 or thereabouts. Here's a contemporary ad for an Omega chronomètre . . . . . . that informs ...

I love your wrist shot of the Speedmaster. I don’t remember seeing this one from you, is it a new piece for you ? It probably just looks different in the photo Kind regards and stay well.

Yes, I remember now. It looks great 👍 Kind regards The Captain

Keep safe my friend! Hagwe! Abel

Best of health to you too

Best of health to you and all at home!

Really enjoyed the time of to change strap on the CP-2, do some cleaning and checking rate variation and amplitude with the Lepsi. Had forgotten how awesome the Lepsi works. ...  

Good looking AP ! Thanks for joining us for WristScan this weekend and stay safe.

The current time has led to more home cooking. So I now know that halibut is a suboptimal fish for forshmak 😉😂 One can of course play with strap combinations... And hopefully there’s more reading on the way... Stay safe and healthy 🤞🏻👍🏻 ...  

Halibut looks tasty with some good bread. Do you like the bread lightly toasted ? I really like your Seiko with that strap, it gives it a totally different style. I hope that you and your family are keeping well and staying safe. Best wishes The Captain

Thanks Captain! A cashmere strap definitely transforms the stark Grammar of Design into something more fun 😉👍🏻

One of my favourite fish either from a tin or fresh ... Happy memories ... ...  

Delicious either way 😋

Had the 4520-8000 for a while. Definitely a fun piece with the hand wound Hi-Beat movement 👌🏻

And the GS too. Sundays are usually pasta day for us and I get to cook Best of health to you and all at home

As said, the more conventional sardine choice this morning tasted better. And the vegetarian lunch with a spinach, pea and asparagus purée with some halloumi cheese today worked quite well, too 👍🏻

And you have an special eye to choose your straps as well! Best wishes and warm regards for you and your family my friend! Abel

Reset my Nomos, I might let the others run down -as I don't want a watch related injury as posted elsewhere! Tangente reposing after be reset for spring. Cheers JML ...  

I love the simplicity of this photo. Makes for a refreshing change as it’s somehow quite calming. Thanks for joining us this weekend. Keep well.

One advantage of living here is that DST has been gotten rid of years ago 👍🏻

Think there have been discussions about moving permanently to BST, though think in depths of winter some places wouldn't see daylight until gone 9 in the morning.

I know they now do larger watches, but always thought 35mm was big enough, with lots of wrist presence. Cheers JML

A few last parts (pendulum etc) and some fine tuning - no rush! Hope y'all keeping well NoneNomad ...  

Very creative and I love the wrist shot. Thanks for joining us this weekend and keep well and stay safe.

What’s the clock if I may ask? The second shot, with the different beats is just sublime 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Hope you’re all safe and sound!

For Xmas I got my daughter some marble runs (she wanted them & I didnt want any more plastic in the house, and these seemed to fit the bill) which are excellent - so I got a clock for myself - don't expect COSC ratings ;-) Yes - all good here & locked dow...

Keep well !

Any champagne to go with that very decedent Cartier ? ;-o

I love the colours and the composition. Thank you for making such a superb effort for WristScan this weekend.

You certainly deserve the praise. Don’t forget to join us next weekend for WristScan.
