Wristscan this weekend: Anything, anywhere, any watch is now open ...
Team, Let's see what you have on your wrist for this weekend. I plan to have a Rattrapante weekend: De Ville Co Axial Rattrapante - Love it. Or my trusty Speedmaster Co Axial Rattrapante. To "walk on the wild side", nothing better than a "rusty" Longines ...
Ochs und Junior Perpetual calendar
Sterling silver case. Blue patinated dial. Everything else on the dial and pointers are platinum.
Extrordinary Ochs Perpetual Calendar...
Elegant in both its mechanics and its looks. Congrats Manilx!
Long weekend ahead, so time
to relax, read some newspapers ... dandy-style with the Girard-Perregaux Damier 7427 on the even more dandy original bracelet. Happy Easter all. CC ...
Great shot CC! I love to see you are enjoying your last catch!!...
Have a nice week end and a happy Easter to you too! All the best, Abel
Thanks dear Abel, I am enjoying it
and I cleaned it all up myself and somehow it is now running spot on time. Will still get it serviced soon though
Ahh how nice to read that!! May be all it needs is a thorough cleaning and oiling and may be demag it. In any case...
... it seems there is no mechanical problem here! Keep enjoying my friend CC! Chers! Abel
happy easter dear CC!
this looks like a promising start to a great long weekend! best regards -- seeks
Girard Perregaux 7427V
Hi, I wonder if somebody can help me identify my Girard Perregaux watch? It looks very similar to the Daimer 7427 in you picture, even the bracelet is similar. The face doesn't have the cross hatching of the Daimer and it has roman numerals. On the back o...
Wonderful timepieces to open this week end W/S dear Nilo!!...
... I specially love the De Ville Rattrapante chrono with those blue hands and markers popping out against the dial! Well... the other two would make me a happy man too! Lol! Hagwe and a nice Easter Season to you and all our dear friends here! Abel.
This De Ville was a long hunt ...
With the help of the fantastic local Boutique team, that checked under every rock on the planet Omega, it was impossible to locate a brand new one. Cheers, Nilo
Great! How nice to have good friends at the Boutiques! I had never seen this model in the metal...
... but your photograph show it was well worth the search for it! Cheers! Abel
Molly dug out another watch...
Molly the Mole helped again to find a watch for me... Omega Constellation Automatic Chronometer in white gold case and bracelet Rare appearance by a rare watch; I've only ever seen one on a human wrist.....mine! Molly is a good digger. Regards, MTF ...
Thank you very much Damjan,
It is necessary a little of boldness to knock down the traditions
That's a true Master of the Universe watch ...
I need to make another note: When I grow up, I want to be a Melvyn. Congratulations, Nilo
Very nice!
And I never seen that bracelet either, I'm a fan! Thanks for sharing! Best Jev
Great watch MTF! I love C Connies and a white gold one is very very rare I feel....
... thanks a lot for sharing yours! Cheers! Abel
This verdigris dial is incredible. Very very cool for me. Enjoy it
Best wishes Alkiro
The annual calendar function is so elegant on this Ochs...
Are there more to come, Manilx? A moon phase perhaps?
YES!
Next one is a VERY special moonphase! I've shown some teasers in a previous post Going to pick it up from Ludwig in about 4 weeks I guess (is almost a year in the making now).
Longines....
the brand we definitely don't speak often enough...excellent shots as always.... no GP's left
Three new friends...
The 70ies charmer the lucky one the small one and one old friend Zenith vs GP it's a tie But most important is to Live the passion and with passion Cheers & HAGWE friends D ...
This Zenith ...
Reminds me the wild seventies. That's about to return: Cheers, Nilo ...
Dear Abel coming from serial double winner it means a lot
Thank you very much Cheers D
Ha ha ha!! Thank you my dear Damjan!! That´s also a big compliment from you which I appreciate so much!...
... Hagwe and Happy Easter my dear friend!! Abel
Ok, let me see what to chip in today.. I chose my newest JLC Blue Memovox, Boutique Edition
For me a watch which one can dress up or down, versatile & a bit sporty but with a very chic touch.. Simply love it since day one.. Blue Memovox Boutique Edition (2016) Cheers & HAGWE, hs. ...
I believe that we share ...
Similar tastes. I own another and that makes two blue Memovox here. Cheers, Nilo
Great watch and very nice picture composition
The BTQ editions are often so special and good looking at JLC. Love the dial.
very nice - can't go wrong with a Memovox
And one with a blue dial is even better! Cheers JML
The new blue Memovox is quite something
it never shows its real beauty on photos though.
Indeed, you are right.. The play of light in the sunray brushed center vs the other blue hues of the dial really is something to enjoy
.. I have been in love with this Blue Memovox, from day 1 on ! Actually I ordered it already from our Boutique staff here, based on a Manufacture visit in September last year, when we got some early info & a bit of a partial unveiling. There was just one ...
Urushi for me
As my 2nd Urushi anniversary has just passed can only show pictures of this Been great so far HAGWE JML ...
"Invented" hands shape by the late Rolf W. Schnyder
They were invented for the Ulysse Nardin Sonata watch so they are now called 'Sonata hands'. Regards, MTF UN Sonata ...
Thanks Nico! I was lucky...
to pick this up from a fellow Italian collector and a true gentleman, via social media. IG has helped collectors in some ways (and perhaps also driven prices up in other ways)
Thanks D & CC!
The number & quality of vintage watches from Italy never fails to amaze me. Which often makes me wonder - if these are the ones being sold, what other lovelier specimens are they keeping in their safes? It boggles the mind!
Sorry Fernando I have no idea why JLC picked this name.
I always thought the name to be a slightly unusual one, and I'm not sure that it was meant to connote. Regardless, it's a very elegant Reverso!
Dear Nilo and friends, Happy easter
Superb rattrapante's you have! May I compliment you shots with a rattrapante from a century or so ago : This Nicole Nielsen with a off white T. J. Willis 'Venetian' enamel dial was made during the final years of the great english watchmaking era, still ve...
Fantastic pocket watch. Very beautiful. A true keeper
Happy Easter Best wishes Alkiro
Very fine watchmaking and ...
Your pictures, background included, makes to it a great homage. Cheers, Nilo
I am sure it will Arie
that's why I only wear it together with a watch for the picture, besides that, it is not comfortable either.
The concerned watch nerd in me is relieved now :-)
It looks cool on pics indeed! Vrolijk Pasen!
ah! that's all one needs this weekend..
or should i say this year?! happy long easter weekend
Being one that changes watches ...
More than one time / day, I consider this as some sort of self inflicted torture. But I continue to envy your MB. Cheers, Nilo
This now becomes the helth issue :)))
It's not healthy any more Quick look up...listen to CEO...go and strap that Sonata on wrist quickly or Arie if you are reading this and I know you do...give man a prize...he'll not give up... he's Vlad....enough is enough!! Cheers D
Got some encounters with these piece...
Not something that is usually under the radar, especially when it's a quartz... The mido worldtimer, with some neat tricks! It doesn't have the second hand so it doesn't ticks, And that bezel, put any city name on twelve, then press the crown, all the han...
this is a rare bird seldom seen these woods!
very nice condition too! thanks for sharing. happy long easter weekend
Interesting how a shot can change between a coloured and a B&W one
Best wishes Alkiro
The first picture is ...
Pure art. The pictures of the Regatta are gorgeous and reminds me of a mistake that I let one just like yours go. Congratulations, Nilo
Beautiful Mido, Jev...
with an unusual bracelet as well. Have you ever put it on a leather strap? Enjoy your weekend!
It comes originally with it....
And yes, it's awesome on distressed leather strap! But this bracelet already complements its look as well..
Vintage Omega this weekend
a 1965 speedmaster 105.003-65 "Ed White" Have a good weekend ! ...
Your "Ed White" is just glorious ...
I'm chasing a vintage Speedmaster but so far ... nothing that fits my taste. Cheers, Nilo
wow
what a nice dial and your ed white comes with a rarer telemeter bezel too ! thanks for sharing & happy easter!
I'm glad to learn ...
That Mrs. Baron allow you to take pictures of her fantastic watch. My wife has a "stay away" rule for her pieces. Cheers, Nilo
Watches I wore this week :)
to share for our free theme. Both fine Chronographs and paired with nice drinks Thanks Nilo for hosting us this week Cheers Robin ...
Omega in the sky!
Over Shakespeare country at Stratford-upon-Avon in a Piper Warrior this morning. Just to prove this Omega '53 Pilot watch still gets airborne! Please excuse blurred pictures: had to be no hands on the controls to get the shots with lack of depth of field!...
Great shot of a wonder ...
Very hard to capture the blue hue of this dial. Congratulations, Nilo
Hello Patrice!! So nice to find you here again! Welcome!!...

Warm welcome back dear Patrice!
You've been missed on WS! Now I'm sure you can play la vie en rose Cheers D
I have been playing a lot with camera and watches lately dear Nilo...
... so I'm happy with a free theme this week end which will allow to put in use some of these shots! Here they go... a few shots as usual... trying not to abuse the kind patience of our friends viewing them! This is a three day holiday week end here and w...
Doxa, GS and PAM...
Abel, You covered a lot of horological ground. Great shots. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you so much dear friend Nilo!!...
... glad you like watches and shots! A big compliment coming from you! Cheers!! Abel
You and I could share watches!
That Doxa is one of my favourite dive watches, PAM557 is on my list and I own the GS GMT. Enjoy!

Property of a gentleman purist, kindly pictured on my wife's wrist many moons ago...
HAGWE all. Cheers, Tim ...
Brand new acquisition for me...
Fulfilled two dreams with the acquisition of this watch. More later. HAGWE! ...
The MIH is a collaboration...
between Ludwig Oechslin, Paul Gerber, and Christian Gafner to support the Musée International d‘Horlogerie (MIH) in La Chaux du Fonds. The watch is a unique annual calendar that uses gearing instead of springs to make it work (As a result, it can be set b...
Ah yes! There is a subtle MIH at 9
I didn\'t notice at first. This is fascinating, I will look it up. Congratulations and thank you for sharing! I now understand why you say you have fulfilled dreams.
Aahh, the MIH !.. Pure, clean & very cool !.. Sincere Congrats & wear in best health ! :))
.. Actually, it's one of those pueces, which are on my midterm wish-list.. Best & pls share many further posts, hs
Lovely couple you show Vin!! I'm truly ...
... impressed with your double signed Patek and the mood you got with appropiate natural lightning in your Rolex shot! Hagwe! Abel
Thank you amanico :)
Summer is coming and I want to wear strap as much as possible b4 it gets too hot lol.
That's a Purist piece ...
And I'm flattered to have two on this week thread. Cheers, Nilo
Here we go.
My newest baby, after a looong search. My other latest: Photo credit Damjan for below: ...
Two bombs, especially the Lange
looking forward seeing them and understanding how the Seiko GMT works
AP!!!
I never imagine that you could be an AP person. Cool pair. Believe it or not, I never had an AP in my hands. It's about time to correct this fault. Cheers, Nilo
Oh sure, but ...
In my feeble mind, AP is Royal Oak in their plethora of versions. Just like the hard core Panerists only pay attention to Luminor (I prefer Radiomir). Cheers, Nilo
I'm not a hardcore AP RO. I also owned a Jules Audemars and a Millenary 4101
But ok, I have this one too Best wishes Alkiro ...
Late to the party . . .
. . . hope there's some champagne left. One of my latest acquisitions, just in from the watchmaker after service. Ca '49 28.10 RA bumper, gold filled Wadsworth case. Oh, and Anchor Steam beer in the background. Art ...
