WristScan

Dear friends, In this weeks round of Wrist Scan we are after the perfect three dandy watches. Dany watches are certainly cool watches, cool in shape or made from an exotic material. Lavishly decorated yellow gold watches with diamonds or a low key watches...  

In the end, I thought this is the best time to let the golden pocket watch out of its drawer prison. It‘s my grandfather‘s watch. Difficult, but well chosen topic, dear Moritz. ...  

Lovely pocket watch. Is the movement signed?

So I'm not sure, whether it's the original movement or a replacement. What's funny as well is, that nobody in my direct family line ever lived in the states. So I have no clue, why my grandfather would own an american build pocket watch from around 1900. ... 

Do you happen to have a movement shot, too? 🤞🏻

I love the composition, well done

Beautiful shot. Stay safe! Abel

Great theme dear Count and your photo gives us all something to aspire to. I will post my photos a little later. Best wishes The Captain

...  

With your beautiful Roger Dubuis ! Hope that you have a great weekend.

Accessories, colours, strap material and colours … and three dandy style watches: well played!

Great pics btw , well played

A fact that haunts me, because I think it is a very attractive aspect of a watch!

I am not always of RD but here I like this one a lot, and the other ones are not to shabby as well

I like this style of watches a lot, but I usually wear them more casually. ...  

What a sublime, cool time only Cartiers there. The dials make it lavish, the hands make it simple: great combination of styles. Very good entry, Geo.

same wristwatch and pocket watch

I am a pocket watch lover and this one is jaw-dropping

... I feel this will be a most enjoyable week end viewing the submissions of our community answering your challenge my dear Count! Best cordial regards and keep safe friends! Abel. PS: I love the opening shot and your Dandy Watch dear Count!!

You have got plenty, plenty of dandy watches . Looking forward with great anticipation to your pick or picks! ;-). Stay safe my friend!

... They bring me much pleasure wearing them from time to time and it is also a pleasure to share them here. Yes, you have thought about a great Theme for this week end and a very challenging one. Have a nice and very safe week end my dear Moritz and all ... 

in the age of the Choronovirus. Stay safe my friends. ...  

...that I bought after asking my AD to equip them with some more original shoes, among those offered by Patek. Here's Calatrava 5119R (my very first Patek, in 2008!), and a Gondolo 5124G, one ending up on a blue strap and the other flashy red. Have a grea...  

I can count on you, especially when a true dandy is needed. Lifting two classic Pateks on a new level means a good sense for style 👍! Have a good weekend, my friend.

... Gondolo! And that set of straps add the audacious touch of color to make it... Sublime! I´m considering something like those straps for my 5396G Have a nice and safe week end my friend! Abel.

When the world reopens you could ask your AD for options, Patek normally gives them a fairly broad choice of straps to order from All the best! ...  

... in this watch. It looks wonderful on your wrist and with that superb shirt. That´s a dandy watch indeed! So classic and classy! Cheers! Abel

Quite funny I also started with a clou de Paris Calatrava when entering the PP world but that was with a 3919 J (about 1996 if I don't mistake) and also got a 5024 G a bit later (with salmon dial). Beautiful pieces you have here my friend

This is my dandiest: a gold Longines l994 from the excess of the 80s. I think Longines were trying to channel Cartier with this range. ...  

Lovely Longines, Abacus. Yes, a slightly well known design but a great one. Thank you for your entry. Stay safe.

...  

Well by my standards Full on 70s gold plated case & brown metallic dial Cheers JML ...  

Saw you posting it before but cannot recall the name. The dial is too shiny to read 😀. What make was it again?

A truly cool piece 👍🏻

Hoping you and family are doing well ... and your ferret 🐿 ( I know it is a squirrel, but this is the closest emoji available ... ).

...  

A top selection of dandy watches, my friend! I am torn most between the Explorer, the Reverso and the 5110. Not saying that the others leave me cold ... no, no! Only an armada of watches from Abel can resuscitate me 😀!

... of whom is wearing them! Superb timepieces any Dandy would approve and any watch lover would die for! Have a nice week end and be safe my friend!! Un abrazo fuerte desde las Pampas y encerrado en el rancho!! Abel

The Reverso being top choice in my opinion 👌🏻👍🏻

Best of health to you and all at home

Well played my friend

. . . with decorations bought . . . . . . at Tiffany." Ain't it dandy? ;-) ...  

. . . online. Ten, maybe?

Is there anything more stylish than a Tiffany dial?

... I will be able to view it in the metal some day soon! ... Together with our respective Flightmasters of course! Have a very safe week end my dear friend! Best ! Abel

A real dandy piece

...  

Seems to be highly popular with the dandies here ...

...  

Fantastic pair of bespoke Lobbs and a most dandyish GP 1945 black dial. I think you have made a very hot winning entry here ... !

But where are all the Tanks, the Reversos and the Casablancas?? I don't have any.

Superb 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

but the GP is on a different class Well done and best for health

There is one watch brand which is really dandy. ..... Richard Mille.

Choose your suit ... Check this for lining.... You’re going to need some shades ... I'm a dangerous man with some money in my pocket ;-)) ... Have a great weekend friends and stay safe ! Best The Captain ...  

Much appreciated.

... Have a nice and safe week end my dear friend! Best! Abel

We all occasionally need some shore leave ;-)) Keep well my friend !

Some heritage and styles. VC Americana 1921, the kiss and cherry of Art deco. Love that watch.

A fantastic RD!

and thank you for being a great host 🥂

You could imagine it passing the approval of Saki's Reginald.

Hope that you and your family are keeping well 🥂

Best of health

It’s much appreciated. Keep well !

I’ve owned this watch for many years and it’s has special meaning to me.

Great pics! Cheers, Tim

... As I said before they bring much pleasure wearing them from time to time and it is also a pleasure to share them here! Have a nice and safe week end my dear Count and all our dear friends here!! Cheers! Abel My Tank Americaine and accessories... And m...  

Great style Abel and I love your Pelican fountain pen, it’s beautiful ! Keep well and enjoy your weekend 🥂

Have a nice and safe week end my dear friend! Abel

Even better: you can winn hands down in any theme. That Reverso shows such a wide spectrum of reds! Really amazing how it can shine or stay quite. The Cartier avec cabochon is a top dandy watch, too. Very well played, my dear friend Abel 🎩!

... likes to play with light changing its red hues. Glad you like it. The Cartier a most elegant and timeless design. I adore it. Always a pleasure to play in our weekly contest WS!! And a pleasure to have you hosting! Cheers! Abel

Fantastic choice 👌🏻 The Rouge is always excellent, too, of course 👍🏻

The dial of Rouge is something else! Best of Health

You know my love for pens dear friend so this small Pelikan obviously sings to me and your Cartier is so...dandy (the Rouge is quite fine too ) Superb entry, merci to you!

... tribute to the celebrated Model 100 of the brand of the 1930´s. Pelikan is one of my favorite brands too. Have a nice week end and stay safe my dear friend! Abel

Here are my three most dandy pieces - wish my photography skills were on par with other members in this forum ...  

Cartier seems to be a firm favourite of dandys. Thank you ... does it mean The great Gatsby?

I am afraid it is only my initials (first name Thomas); but I love your inference and might simply run with it (at least for this particular theme of Wrist Scan!) Yours faithfully, Jimmy Gatz, Esq.

Nice shots of your watches.

No message body

Your watches and photos look great 🥂

Thank you for participate and looking forward to see you again in future editions of WS! Stay safe! Cheers! Abel

Such a warm welcome is certainly encouraging future participation!

Another member here, Geo, as expressed much the same in this article: www.troisanneaux.com

But all three are superb 👍🏻👌🏻

The Tonneau is also my favourite - the way it hugs the wrist is simply superb and the screwhead lugs a perfect example of Cartier's industrial references.

They are still reasonably affordable compared to similar Cartier models

...  

Really happy with that one 😊👍🏻

Oh, yes! You know what a dandy likes. That Seiko is such an elegant piece in that glossy strap. The VC and FM are trademark pieces for a dandy.

The Prestige de la France is to die for and a personal grail watch. Wear it in good health!

Managed to bag it last year and it’s been my grail for a long time, too 👍🏻

Second shot of the VC for me! Rare creature in this woods. Best of health

My grail, too 😊 Wishing you the best of health, too 👍🏻

That’s made me laugh with a memory from the past 😉

High beat handwound movement, palladium plated case... 👍🏻

Can you tell me anything else about it ?

Like most PB watches, from 1978. 33mm, lugless. I have one from the 1980s, too, digital. But unfortunately not here, so I cannot post a fresh shot 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s a piece that I haven’t come across, so I find it interesting.

Wouldn't be out of place on the wrist of Louis XIV! Cheers, pplater. ...  

A bleu enemal dial with guilloche is right up the street of and dandy. Very well played, pplater 🎩

Dandy and flamboyant 🥂

Good choice!

but a cool watch. ...  

Great looking watch 👌

Well since the theme inspired me I could find quite a few things for you here... I'll start with pocket watches since we don't have the opportunity to highlight them too often here. The first one could be no other one than this one that my grandfather rec...  

Btw what’s the Ref of the last one? The theme definitely suits you 👌🏻

Actually I got it from VC as part of the "Les Collectionneurs" series, thus vintage pieces that were restaured by the Heritage dept in Plan les Ouates. You will know more about it here... www.vacheron-constantin.com was a very beautiful piece and ...  

And thanks for the details - much obliged 🙏🏻

You did right by getting them all 😀! The obviously antique decoration of your grand grandfarher's pocket watch stunning craftmenship! Beautiful, red snail cufflinks, beautiful pen, ... you are a very well equiped dandy, my friend! That 3448 is divine, sim... 

I´m sure any Dandy would have a big trouble to choose just one among them! Stay safe my friend! Cheers! Abel PS: Your big red Namiki keeps me drooling my friend!! What a wonderful pen it is!!

...  

For GP loving dandys in particular 😉

You know who I am by the watches I wear. ...  

Very cool RDs and Pateks, Francis5. Love your GP Bridge cufflinks!

with its perpetually dandyish chain and ferrule. ...  

The chain is attached to the watch?

HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

A very interesting watch there, from a brand that I do not know of. Quite an unique design and nice combination of colours.

The Tuscar Banu is a piece I’ve lusted after for many moons, I finally realized the dream late 2019, when this one came back to me. It shows off the massive skills of the two brothers, Stephen

All the very best wishes to you too! Cheers, Tim

...  

That lugs are to die for and very dandy style!
