Space traveler.

Do you have other pics for me 🤗

... I feel Jules Verne would have loved it!! Dial reminds me an illustration from an early edition of his book "From the Earth to the Moon"!! Fantastic! Hagwe my friend! Abel

The dial design is an interpretation of the early ideas of space travel.

Along with a few others 😉

Love the blue dial Monaco especially ! warmest regards

That Lip looks so cool

Like the Manatee too

Jean D´Eve Sectora... I bought this watch about twenty or more years ago... When I didn´t even dream with being a watch collector some day! Now residing in the watch box of Mrs. Subexplorer. Now the authentic James Bond Watch by Moeris. Note the special r...  

Hope these five watches cover your expectations from Dexter! Lol! Un abrazo amigo mio! Abel

That Jean D´Eve Sectora looks amazing . That case design is def something different and i really like retrograde watches . the Moeris looks very interesting, never seen that one before ! Great case and 007 is so cool 😎 .Your PAM is Huge 😳. Will be though ... 

... it is always a big pleasure to participate. The Big Egiziano is a collection piece for a true Panerai fan with a strong historical connection. I´m very happy to own it and it is a joy for me to wind it from time to time and to view it as a Desk Clock ... 

Have a amazing weekend too ( can you check your PM please) 🤗

Its a pleasure to share these pieces here! Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel

I love the Heuer Calculator and the impressive Panerai Egiziano !

You have a sharp eye for adding such eclectic designs into your collection ! Love these ! Warmest regards

cheers fernando ...  

Thanks for sharing your pic .

Looks like one😁

Have a great sunday my friend Warmest regards

You know, the concept of "Different" is relative - it depends entirely on the basis of what you are comparing it to. Here are my most-frequently-worn watches. To me, these watches represent "Normal" - different to me would be a Patek Calatrava, LOL! But I...  

Never saw three DB at one place.

What can i say more about your box of amazing watches. I hoped to see some of these here but so much in one place . I like your style a lot 😉

Huge Congrats on your eclectic and daring taste. Thank you for sharing, Cheers, Tim

Great choices. Warmest regards

...showed it around to some of you at the last Paris GTG, but it narrowly lost against the Rexhep Rexhepis, Laurent Ferriers and F.P. Journes of this world. Well, here is another try It even has two time zones ...  

To bad but glad you show it here my friend. Great entry

Would you kindly share details on this watch? Warmest regards

Evidently, this is a watch that by its specifications usually would NOT be posted at WPS – except in this special case, where the WristScan theme is “be different”. And different it is indeed, compared to our usual objects of desire. Some technical charac... 

I like your points, and the 3rd one is on point - certainly brought a smile to my face 😄 I will watch out for this brand ! Best regards

Both great for entirely different reasons and in entirely different price points! ...  

A very different winding mechanism And everything looks different here🖖 ...  

Love those lugs ... amongst all the other beautiful components 👌

Warmest regards

This UR is one high on my wishlist and something i had in mind when thinking about this weeks theme 🤗

WOW !

..- Tourbillon ...  

One I don’t see that much here . Very interesting and thanks for your entry

Hi My different watch is my Nomos Tangente A mere 35mm of watch, bought when the stampede to larger watches was at its peak. Not only for that, but at the time Nomos were very niche & where I bought it from was about as far away from a normal watch shop a...  

Thanks

Hagwe! Abel

...  

Well played

And all the better for it 👍

Hagwe! Abel

symmetry, the hands being a bit unusual. Nicolas may remember this one😎. ...  

Well played. Indeed different

the Platinum gives it that extra gravity I find intoxicating. Best, Tim

DIFFERENT... Why this one might ask, well it's the only one ever made in platinum. No question here! Pretty sure this qualifies ;-) I know this does! Excellent topic Watchonthewrist! HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim Almost forget to add this submission! 1971 UN Fas...  

But I dont know the last one

I think (i know) we have similar taste . I love all your entries a lot . Beautiful PSM , amazing AS and a true grail VH . Your last pic the UN is a huge surprise, never seen this one before. Thanks for participating and wish you a great weekend.

Silverstein chronograph to the VH, variety that’s the spice of life !

...  

Love that gold UR103 and the Freak is a watch i had in mind when thinking about the theme .Love the LeCoultre but don’t know anything about the watch on the first picture ! Thanks 🙏🏻

there isn't much info available.. Crown Comfort wrote about MIMO which was owned by a German who later took over GP. The MIMO brand was supposed to be for the European markets while GP focused on N. America.  And Hardy and Hayes Co was a jeweler in Pittsb... 

Great looking UN offering something genuinely different. Your UR103 is becoming modern classic.

Original design theme, it’s great 👍

Elliptical: 'C' case: Bullseye: Some have weathered the decades fashions, some less so & some have been reinvented. Would like to see a modern C case offering though (in a non diver style). Cheers, Giles ...  

Well played my friend. Thanks for joining this WS 🤗

It would be interesting to have a modern offering with that classic shape. I feel Hamilton has recently offered a re issue of one of their vintage models with a C case. I like that Hamilton very much. Hagwe! Abel

The Doxa is indeed a lovely C case too - and one of the few divers I'd really like to own. Will check out the Hamilton, thanks. Los mejores deseos

... and the Hamilton I referred is the Pilots Pioneer Mechanical. Need to see it in the metal. (photo below) Looks very interesting. Mis mejores deseos para ti tambien amigo!! Abel ...  

I agree with you about a modern version of the “C” case.

Are they mostly from the 1970's?

The fume HF and alarm GP's and blue dial dynamic are late 60's. The Zodiac is in their '76 catalogue. The UN is 1974 and Bullseye Omega and GP 1973. I seem to like straight hands and no numbered indices - in fact the only departure on numbers / straight h...  

ZRC and RM. ...  

I do like these round RMs , very cool imo

Very cool 😎

. . . are kinda different. Flightmasters, too. ;-) ...  

Nice shots of two special watches, art. HAGWE!

Thanks for joining us Dr No 🤗

I love the design.

Your Konstantin Chaykin is truly cool! Looking at my watches, I guess these are a little different from the rest! many thanks for taking the time to host! best regards ...  

that Cartier is amazing imho 👌🏻 so beautiful And thanks for the kind words

🙏

I took some photos about a year ago... Have a great weekend my friend

With do it yourself design. Whatever you like. ...  

But very cool !

Thanks for sharing

With its case shaped like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the 101 was the first watch created by the company, with the orbiting hours and minutes indication, inspired by 16th century Italian night clocks made for the Pope. It relies on a carrousel d...  

I love this Urwerk and its also a very important one for the brand . Definitely different.
