WristScan for June 22: Midsummer Theme - Starts now!
Hope you all have a great summer! Another Funky 70's - the Girard-Perregaux 9238: Soon vacation will finally be here...! Best Blomman ...
Beautiful colors with that Classic Sir!
Quite a snappy sweater, shirt, strap combo. Great picture. Best, Tim
"Summertime . . .
. . . and the living . . . . . . is easy . . ." Coconut and peach sorbets, '69 Mk II on its new bracelet . . . ...
You have an eagle eye, blomman. The bracelet is correct for this reference . . .
. . . (1159 w/154 end links) but it was refinished by Omega, most likely at their American service center. The satin finish was applied to all the links, which alters the bracelet's appearance. Slightly, perhaps, but I'm amazed you caught it! The bracelet...
Such a beautiful and timless song dear Art! So full of nostalgia... always loved this classic!! You got another classic here with your MkII chrono!...
... great shot with a deep summer flavour! Hagwe my dear friend Art!! Abel
Sam had a purity of tone . . .
. . . that put him in the same company as Frank, Nat, Roy, and Dean. Early morning mist on the crystal . . . . . . especially for you, Abel. Most cordially, Art ...
Ahh! That’s Music dear Art!! Thanks a lot ...
... for this fantastic video and this new Omega shot!! Enjoy your weekend my dear Art! Cheers! Abel
Wow Geo! That´s a great shot of a watch I love. It reminds me the scaphandre of an old time deep diver! What a lovely timepiece!
This is a watch I had always wished to own. May be some day I´m lucky to find one like yours with its glass protection. I specially like the first shot! Guess we have a winner here! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks a lot Abel, but
there are so many excellent entries this time. Thanks for the compliment. GEO
Hmmhh, my friend !.. Let me see which chips will me allow to play..
In fact, there are a few pics, which let me feel the summer.. My absolute fav for summer: A cool shot on a hot day A table with colors & glasses Summer flowers & DSA EU Best & HAGWE to all ! hs. ...
Great summer shots my dear friend HS!! Some how they make me imagine a summer day in some lovely terrace overlooking a lake and mountains behind...
... and some cool shots indeed you share here! Hagwe my friend!! Abel.
Oh my pleasure my dear friend! Thanks to you for...
... transporting me to some adorable Summer place with your shots! Hagwe! Abel
Great trio...
But the first is certainly by far the coolest Have a great weekend, my friend!
Nothing says 'summer' . . .
. . .quite like a chilled bottle of water. Thanks for sharing these images, h . . . have the first two been honored in the distant past? It's not your watch - impeccable as it is - that jogs my memory . . . it's the elegant table settings! Art
Summer time means :
Morning sun on your wrist Nice walk in the park Riding your bike For me 🤗 ...
A great GP there Mr B! Here's some Scottish summer in World Time:
Have a great weekend all! G. ...
You have more sunshine on your shots, Giles...
Than one is led to believe Scotland sees in a decade Great watch choice, too!
We are in a 1 in 10 year of fine weather this last 6 weeks!
But it’ll likely turn just as soon as the school holidays start - and I’ve not mentioned midges yet ;-) Hope the sun is shinning on you and the family in Vienna. Best wishes, Giles.
Cooled off the last days but yes :)
Had up to 33 degrees till Thursday, now it’s down to under 20. Should go up again soon
A few Tropical dial vintage diver sunny shots
Blancpain Fifty fathoms Tudor Submariner 7928 Longines Nautilus Mulco Escafandra Enjoy the sun! Matt ...
Happy Midsummer, my friend!
Here are some of my summer choices... Olimpico 8846 Silver Dial: 1940s Mimo on NATO strap: and Richeville Night and Day: Cheers and may the best team win tomorrow... ...
Ah, the 8846...
I can feel your happiness, my friend, with your recent score! It looks great on that vintage strap indeed.
Thank you, my friend wish you the same!
And yrs, let's hope Sweden win tomorrow! Best Blomman
Everything's gone green
It's always warm and humid in my country, and even more so from June - Aug. Switching to a bracelet for my newly acquired Alpinist., which makes it feel much more like a sports watch now. A pleasantly surprising watch which wears very well on my wrist! ...
Great shot - looks good on that bracelet.
Though it's a pity they've discontinued the Alpinist - just hope they come up with an equally good replacement. Cheers JML
Would thoroughly enjoy a report on this one...
Once you have had more time with it. Great shot!
Thanks Blomman, Watchonthewrist, JML and KMII!
Yes, I do plan to review this one after a period on the bracelet and on a strap. My preliminary impression is that this is quite a versatile watch which I think will make a good 'all purpose' travel watch. Full report to follow!
today
it looks like fall here in North Europe. Still trying to get that summer feeling with some GMT action (new and old) ...
These are amazing
Have not seen them before Nico. I guess I do not visit Purist enough. GEO
Aahhh !.. I already was hoping for these awesome Duo shots !.. A bit bold & sporty charm, ticking all the boxes !.. Simply superb !
.. And I guess, Italy, Triest & Zampolli will be calling ! Best, my friend !
Hi Tim, it looks fantastic
What an excellent example that watches do not need to be large, to look great. GEO
Such a gorgeous VH classic .
A watch that i am hopping to add soon but still hard to find . Thanks for sharing this beauty 🙏🏻
Absolutely :)
But then it also has serious competition for wrist time in your collection
Hello dear Blomman! Lovely summer watch you share here!...
... we are entering our winter today so I will remember some nicer places I visited in previous Summers with shots from my HD. Places I day dream to be able to visit again soon. My Summers usually mean places near the sea and of course diving watches. Wha...
Sub’s are perfect for the summer, dear Abel!
Hope you soon get to spend some nice time at the beach, my friend! Best Blomman
Muchas gracias amigo mio! Absolutely agree my dear friend Nicolas! Can´t think of a better companion than a good diving watch for summer...
... and specially if we are spending them near beach, pool, lake or sea. Glad you like this week end selection my dear friend! Abrazos y buena semana mi querido amigo Nicolas! Abel.
Fantastic shots as always, Abel!
The Rolexes you show are lovely but I will always remain more partial to the Doxa
Thank you dear KM for viewing and kind commenting! Agree that the Doxa has a unique personality and that the orange dial is a true eye catcher!...
The colored dial and its big "tortue" case make always for an impresive presence on the wrist! Thank you again! Have a nice week my friend! Abel
Same to you :)
Doxa for me has the added allure of being one of the few watch brands available when I was a kid, too - making it doubly exciting
Ahh yes, the dream came true: both scuba diving and owning a Submariner... and a Doxa! Yes I did a lot of scuba diving during my younger years...
... though I retired now! All the best my friend! Abel
Thank you so much for your viewing and always kind comments my dear friend HS! Yes, Doxas, Subs and Sea Dwellers are among the best...
... company when near beach, pool or sea. I enjoy them at fool when vacationing in these places. Have a nice week ahead my friend! All the best, Abel
I think I’ll join you !…
…If you get to the beach bar first can you order the drinks ?
Woww !.. What a superb dial of an absolutely georgous piece !.. Especially the 2nd shot is simply splendid.. Continue to wear it..
.. in the very Best of your health ! Cheers, hs
Breakfast in the garden
Hi Well it's warm enough to escape the house & have breakfast in the garden Even if it is a little late Cheers JML ...
Late Saturday breakfast here as well . . .
. . . but, sadly, no pics of the green bean and mushroom omelet served with purple potatoes. All that's left . . . . . . is the cleaning up. ;-( ...
Thanks - was main reason pulled trigger
Feels & looks pretty much NOS Downside is that wearing it reduces the NOS quality. Though I enjoy wearing it Cheers JML
Here’s mine...
The Zenith Cronometro Tipo CP-2 relaxing after partaking in a dragon boat race Which explains the dried off water drops on the crystal. Have a great weekend! ...
Let’s call it a draw ;)
As the only measurement device was the Mark 1 eyeball, no more specific result can be given Thanks Blomman!
Thanks a lot, NT931!
I always yearn for doing it more often than once every two years, let’s hope that I actually manage it at some point
Aahhh !.. I already was hoping for these awesome Duo shots !.. A bit bold & sporty charm, ticking all the boxes !.. Simply superb ! ;))
Sorry folks, was misplacing this reply to Nico’s post with the 2 Mark-11s. So I will put a copy there, as I don’t have the editing privileges to move it properly.
