What is your watch that made you smile all the way to the bank thus week or recently? My watch made me smile all the way was our Zenith Chronometro P 15! Join all in and show your piece! Whether expensive or not expensive! Best De Mooonayyy ...  

For me definitely my just arrived Batman which I took from the safe

 
 By: Tyo : February 28th, 2020-03:10
In order to travel all around the world in the upcoming days ...  

That’s great sentiment...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : February 28th, 2020-03:13
And a great feeling. The Batman is a great Rolex.

A flying start of WS with a GMT!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : February 28th, 2020-03:22
Good to here that you are travelling seriously with this Batman. I like it much, much more than the Pepsi 😲

Thank you my dear Abel.

I go back to my royal oak 15400 when I want something to put a smile on my face. No bank vaults or safes though...I live in the super-secure UAE ...  

Nice shot!

Safe

 
 By: Weems@8 : February 28th, 2020-11:01
Good to hear there are countries who are safe and do not contain criminals. A country like Monaco is the same. If you know the story Nicolas told about his Rolex Airking, you know thieves are the worst people on earth. I can not accept thieves, so the UAE... 

Don’t know Nicolas’ Rolex Air King story...but I almost don’t want to hear it.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : February 28th, 2020-11:10
It’s coming up to a year from when my backpack was stolen in Malaga, with my passport, Wallet and iPad inside. It took a series of Herculean tasks to get me back to the UAE before I lost my job So you can imagine that the PTSD is real

happy end

 
 By: Weems@8 : February 28th, 2020-11:47
The story of the Rolex Airking from Nicolas have a happy ending. He got another Rolex Airking from WPS. Call it coincidence, his Rolex was stolen in Spain. But why do so much people get robbed in Spain? Why not working for money, and buy in a store. Spain... 

Very nice shot. [nt]

Do you use two accounts? There is somebody who sign also with Nicolas.

Hello my dear Count!! I can understand your smile with this beautiful Zenith WPS Edition! The watch which always keep me smiling when going to the bank vault to retrieve it...

I don’t remember seeing this one before. It looks good on your wrist Abel and your last static shot is excellent. Have a great weekend 🥂

Thank you dear Captain, glad you like it. This is the 15.202 ST which I found with a white dial instead of the classic and more traditional dark blue.

 
 By: Subexplorer : February 28th, 2020-11:48
It is a most beautiful watch I feel. Thank you for your kind compliments my friend. hagwe! Abel

I looked at a grey dial version...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : February 29th, 2020-02:52
And found it an interesting alternative. The dial went from dark silver to grey depending on the light.

Great classic AP [nt]

Do pocket watches count?...

 
 By: toxly347 : February 28th, 2020-08:13
This one lives in a drawer. I only wind it every so often, but listening to this watch always brings good memories and a smile. Thank you for the invitation, Count de Monet, and congratulations on a great choice of topic. Hagwe ...  

Hello Jaccard: pocket watches are most welcome.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : February 28th, 2020-08:48
A very tasteful shot of your of your pocket watch. Any pictures of the dial or movement?

With pleasure

 
 By: toxly347 : February 28th, 2020-08:53
...  

That is a dial!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : February 28th, 2020-09:28
Are those numbers around the dial up to 300 the sub seconds? Who is the manufacturer?

Manufactured by Jaccard & Cie...

 
 By: toxly347 : February 28th, 2020-09:37
.. circa 1880. Yes, they are subsecond markers for the chronograph, but I do not know how they are used. In spite of being quite an old watch and growing up with it, so to speak, I still find it mesmerising after all these years. It belonged to my father.... 

Thank you for this contribution to Wrist Scan

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : February 28th, 2020-10:04
A watch from your father is a priceless piece.

Indeed

Always a great Seiko !... I like your choice of strap.

I’m naturally biased as I have one too, but I like the Alpinist on the green strap

 
 By: NT931 : February 29th, 2020-03:13
The older SARB017 Alpinists are more charming than the current ones

Great array of beautiful watches Watchonthewrist! The 5th shot is stunning! I see a winner shot there! I also get joy from several watches...
