WristScan

As announced, the theme of this week’s WS will be ‘No Sports’. As the watch industry is tirelessly churning out sports and tool watches and promoting them equally strongly, the now less popular relatives, which apart from gracing the wrist and telling the...

And an exquisite shirt pairing - very sharp!

...  

...  

But an Eichi II is always a stunner - especially in your pictures 👌🏻

I joined at the very last minute. 🤣

...  

As usually - there is no theme you don’t have an answer to 😊 And so hard to pick a favorite...

Your Patek is still looking great 🥂

I´m always biassed when your 5110 is present, you know... but those JLC, GP and Lange watches are really stunning. Awesome shots as usual my friend. Have a great week end! Abrazos desde las muy calientes Pampas! Abel

You’re disqualified.

Great to see you, Padj!

You win! All the best, respo

Love the trapezoidal shape!

But fully agree with you 😉

It was a bit of a jackpot for me finding it last year 😊

In order to celebrate the ban of Aquanauts and Nautili from this thread, I just created a new collage of my latest 3 (also, favorite 3) Pateks to date They belong to Patek's so-called "rare handcraft" collection, as we already had a chance to discuss exte...  

Love the middle photo especially!

I thought you were and it was meant as a teasing comment. Please ignore me.

This should work out perfectly: MSC Cruises came back to Mrs. NickO in late December and put the project she’s discussing with them on hold until the summer, as they are having some internal issues right now integrating their newly acquired offices. Appar... 

No message body

I knew you would not find the topic too hard 😉 Superb collage!

In abundance 🥂

Look forward to the new amigo you announce for next Summer! Have a beautiful week end my friend! Abel

Really it is quite discouraging to post ANYTHING after seeing these. Huge congrats on these pieces. And on your style. Cheers, Daniel

Even if it is a strong challenge 😉

The 5177 is already very cool in photos.. pretty sure it must be in the metal! warmest regards

Great entry! Hagwe, Abel,

I have some anti-sport watches: I hope you liked them!!! ...  

there are only 12!

Cocktail hour.

Enjoy them so much! Hagwe! Abel

Amigo Abel!

Is that the longest of the three seconds hands needs to disappear into the case when it’s off cycle 👌🏻

You have certainly grown your collection since we last saw each other 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 The Pano, Breguet and JLC certainly seem recent - and you are right, the topic is not at all difficult for you 😊

for the music, my Friend! Well, the Jlc Master Moon and the Breguet is new, also the GO 1845 Zeigerdatum. My small collection grows nowadays with sporty watches, according to the trend...

Are better capable of dealing with your other ‚incoming‘ 😉👍🏻

All amazing and beautiful watches 👌🏻😘

much, my Friend! I am trying to get beautiful watches...

But always a pleasure! Many thanks!

Stunner of a watch! Cheers, Tim

Well, the Chronometer is a classical one in redgold!

I get the watch from my Mom for my 40th birthday! It is very important to me - as my Mom!

A little velvet in my life ... No need for discretion .... Have a great weekend friends 🥂 ...  

Superb.

Not been here as much lately as I would like but the RD I do not think I have seen yet. Very interesting 👌🏻

Its great to have you “hosting & posting” ... My RD is cherished piece as it was a gift from Mrs Cpt Scarlet some years ago. I love the numerals on the dial and the grand style. Not an everyday watch, but that’s the point. Kind regards The Captain ... 

Wishing more and more now that I had said YES to the Moonshine... oh well, such is life warmest regards

Hope that you are having a great weekend.

...  

... the seconds hand! Confused it with my 190 which has it. And a JLC movement. Thank you for the clarification!! Cheers! Abel ...  

Glad you like it and share my fondness for this model!! Cheers! Abel

And excellent movement too warmest regards

... much enjoyment when wearing them on our wrists during our daily tasks or in certain special events when a formal timepice is required. I will play with a few of mine below... Have a beautiful week end my dear friend KM and all friends here!! Cheers! A...  

You always blow away the competition.

I take my hat off to you Abel 🥂

...  

Superb collection and shots! Those Longines are fantastic, you seem to have added a second GS and the others are just classi 👌🏻👍🏻

Yes my GS collection now totals three. The creamy dial 221 is my last one. This two plus the Snow Flake. Great watches indeed!! Cheers! Abel

It’s a superb piece. One day...

You deserve one in your collection! Cheers! Abel

The Day-Date looks to be in amazing condition for it's age, lovely dial on it too. Cheers, Tim

Lucky to find this DD in such a great condition several years ago. Glad you like it! Abel

i have long admired vintage longines and yours choices are excellent ! wear them in great health !

I love vintage Longines and I feel lucky to having found these two some years ago. Glad you like them! Cheers! Abel

The GMT GS . Cheers! Abel

Best cordial regards my friend Abel

Best cordial regards my friend Abel

Some beauties. I forgot some and didn’t know about others. The VC is in a very small class of magnificent oldies.

My current work is making it hard to be here more often 🤷🏻‍♂️ As for the VC, I find it one of their best recent offerings and was super chuffed that I got it last year. The FM was the penultimate addition last year and adds a bit of fun 😉

...  

I really need to check out their deadbeat seconds 👍🏻

Here are a few for your WS. Not only sports-averse; I wouldn’t wear them if I was mincing garlic. You can speculate all you want about why I might need garlic. ...  

Just remind him you taste of burnt rubber. Burnt. Rubber.

You won’t let me:.

... A good garlic supply if you are meeting certain French watch aficionado! Lol! Hagwe! Abel

Or to keep the Vlad away from flying off with your watches? Some superb shots you have there! Didn’t know you had a Casablanca and that Grönefeld is recent, too, right? How are you doing otherwise?

All winners imho

The dial on your FPJ is beautiful and understated.

... steel and rosegold Hagwe ^^ ...  

And the Connie is truly great 👌🏻

And unusual indexes makes a charming combo!! Hagwe! Abel

this round. Best to you all, Tim ...  

you strap it on. Tim

And a fantastic Sarpaneva 👍🏻

Stunning collection

... choose just one winner among them! Great entry!! Hagwe! Abel

Here's one of mine Or perhaps these Cheers JML ...  

As always, JML 👌🏻

Cheers JML

and i love the way you palm all the 4 watches together! let me try that soon too! warmest regards

I even put on my best flip-flops for the occasion! ...  

I am very partial in the meantime - got three last year 😉

I can easily think of a few more I would love to add

A Felix, and then we got wedding anniversary watches made by them - an Erwin for the better half and a deadbeat seconds foudroyante for me 😊 The Felix is in my opening post here, the other two below: ...  

What is the significance of the stylized red hashes at the 11 o’clock? I have my guesses but I’d love to hear the actual reason. I too would love a jumping seconds foudroyante!

My foudroyante is the first watch of its kind in their new case design 👍🏻

Thanks 🙏🏻

after looking at your photos and KMII’s, in need to investigate deeper into these watches thank you

HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

Interesting afternoon/evening 🤪 Cool watch.

Love it. Cheers, Tim

It’s hard to choose a favorite. Although I have to say the VH is probably closest to my heart 😍

Hagwe! Abel

White enamel, black Roman’s

Great theme this week and I think I may have a couple “winners” for consideration. First is the Bulova Accutron Astronaut () with the iconic 214 “tuning fork” battery operated movement. This 14k beauty with enhanced dial (applied markers) and “fork second...  

Two such unusual entries, too! If you have a moment to share more on the Ultrachron, I would be very grateful 🙏🏻

some from my archive HAGWE ...  

Some really superb pieces, as usually 👌🏻

a few small and slim pieces.. Cheers! SF ...  

And the two BPs real Mad Men style classics 👌🏻

...so here is a stable-mate. Definitely not for sport; a dial so sharp you could cut steel with it! Cheers, pplater. ...  

Cheers, pplater. ...  

One I still intend to add one day 🤞🏻

Your FM is so good looking 👌🏻 Ok here a few of my non sports watches HAGWE my friends 🤗 ...  

It’s certainly great fun. Btw your non-sports selection is otherworldly - all strong contestants 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

...  

...  

...  

...  

Seems the WTs see some sports at least 😉

WR 0. No steel no blue no bracelet. Best, Daniel ...  

Hsgwe! Abel

The Zenith and the Longines... such great pieces of history!

...  

...  

Will enjoy seeing this in person soon I hope. Cheers!

Colors and textures come to life with their wizardy! Fantastic GS!! Cheers! Abel

...than GS.

Time only, no WR whatsoever, gold plate maybe?, but beloved because it is my departed father's watch. HAGWE! ...  

Fortunately our parents didn’t only do tool watches 😉👌🏻

...  

...and absolutely love the G&S, but surely the Speedy (x2) would probably have to be the very definition of sports watch! Cheers, pplater.

I have one or two better candidates but they are at my other abode.

A great selection indeed!

[ ca '42 Ω Marine II ref 3635 / cal T17] . . . was a sports watch. Today, it's anything . . . . . . but. ;-) ...  

. . . but nowhere near a dive watch like the original Marine. Spread across three references, including one with a sapphire(!) crystal. Art

If you look at the early dive watches, they could almost pass as black tie nowadays 😉 Fantastic piece 👌🏻

. . . colored in silver and black, Tony. There's a similarly outfitted GO 1845 Karree I'd still like to have. Best, Art

I had never had the pleasure of viewing it in the metal! Gorgeous piece!! Have a nice week ahead my friend! Abel

. . . but this dial variation is rare. If I find another, I'll let you know - it would be a grand addition to your collection. All's well here, Abel - relaxing at home with my folks the last few days. Hope all's well with you and your family. Best, Art

... down here with much work at office and a very hot Summer. I never have seen a Marine Omega in the metal. Interesting to know that they are not so rare- I´ m not familiar with the differences between the I and II models. Will try to search information ...

I knew about the first model as the first @diving watch@ from Omega with its curious but very clever double case system. Does the model II employ same system? We learn something every day my friend!! Best! Abel

. . . similar. This pic from Omegamania of the very same reference and dial shows the 'case within a case' design. Different execution from the original Marine, but not in principle. Best, Art ...  

. . . but this is the one I identify with most closely in terms of aesthetic preference. Art

HAGWE! fernando ...  

I have always had a weak spot for the Cabaret 👌🏻

Platinum, black dial, and black background on the date wheel with white fonts 💪🏻 warmest regards

Hagwe my friend! Abel

...  

warmest regards

... to our place! I wish you much enjoyment in our Forum and also participating in our weekly WS contest! Cheers! Abel

...  

Share here! That vintage Longines is gorgeous!! Lovely! Not to mention all other marvels you show Hagwe! Abel

Not often we see so many Breguets and Blancpains in a week, and your examples are superb 👌🏻

With no particular order of preference I’ll show three that should be the right ones here... ...  

And collection is exquisite, Mike! You’re definitely hunting for top honors with these 👍🏻👌🏻

... is to die for!! Superb piece!! Hagwe! Abel

There is not one day since I have it where I did not think that I am very lucky to have been able to make that dream come true

Yours is a superb watch and I wish you will keep enjoying and loving it so much! Cheers! Abel

If I would have to choose between this LF Tourbillon and my Wonder Watch, I would take… both of them hahaha !

Thanks for looking Tony ...  

collection my dear friend Tony!! Superb pieces! Hagwe! Abel

Warmest regards

Some truly superb pieces, Tony, and the pictures to match - thanks for joining in! 👍🏻
