WristScan

Hello dear friends ! We are now live for WristScan and it’s all about “Automotive”… covering anything self propelled. Predominately this will relate to cars and our watches, but also anything else that fits the bill. Maybe you can surprise us ! This weeke...  

...  

Hi Bill, Good to have you with us and especially with that sweet ride ! Your Nautilus looks good as does your “Zenith” Daytona but the Porsche Design is super cool. Are you working on any of your cars at the moment ? Best regards Captain

. . . this was coming.

m.youtube.com PS Sorry Art, can't copy it propperly ...

...  

Thank you for joining us. I really appreciate your contribution especially as your photos are very nice. Zenith and your Omega collection look very good. A Speedmaster with our theme is perfect ! Best regards Captain

Two hobbies that work great together imho. HAGWE 🤗 ...  

A silver Silver Shadow looking splendid in your photos. Is that a BMW i8 I see with your Bulova ?

Meets Omega Seamaster … ...  

...  

Jaguars and an MGB “Sebring”…. I like your style and that before we get to the watches ! Nice shots especially that last one with your JLC 👍

Oval shaped and bright, nice!

...  

Well played Brauner, I like your shots !

… playing with these cars with friends. Interesting shot of the Rolex factory!! Hagwe! Abel

Supercharged Hemi is so much fun to drive on and off the road. ...  

And an exceptional Rolex to go with it 👍 Good to see you joining us this weekend. Best Captain

This is a wonderful Theme which will bring many awesome entries and probably some surprises. Since I was a lad I was attracted by cars and dreamed with them. I was about 16 years old when Ford released the first Mustang in 1964 and I became a big fan of t...  

What a great lineup of watches and cars dear friend ! Jaguars, Porsche, Ferrari and a superb vintage Mustang. You are living the dream my friend. How can I possibly choose one amongst them ? …. The DB5 … licensed to thrill ! Best regards Captain

Yes a little automotive Heaven it is. The Ferrari regrettably not mine but belonged to a good friend who allowed me the pleasure to drive it some time ago. Of course I took advantage to take a few watch shots too! Lol! Agree with you about the DB5!! Have ... 

Slipped through my fingers the last time I seriously entered into negotiations for one. Such is life !

What to choose? 🤔 The 430, please! 😃

Remember my mother buying it for me. I was a proud boy.

… the most popular and classic of Bond’s DB5 miniature cars ever. May be not as faithful as other later repros in different scales but truly charming with several working features and surely a classic among collectors. Do you still have it? Best cordial r... 

here's my entry for this weekend... have a great weekend everyone! ...  

...  

That’s a great wrist shot 👏👏👏

...  

Superb Patek you have chosen to share with us this weekend and your shots are always excellent. How long have you owned this one ?

Congratulations 🥂

. . . for Mom. White two-door hardtop with red vinyl interior, four-barrel 273 c i engine, three-speed Torqueflite floor-shifted automatic. I learned how to drive in that car, and drove it occasionally. When it came time for my brother to go to college it...  

Wow Art, this is a fantastic story.

... 1964 or 65. Chrysler built the Dart here too but only in the 4 door configuration. As Chrysler had a great previous experience a few years before selling the Valiant (two versions I and II) they decided to market the Dodge Dart as "Chrysler Valiant II...  

. . . similar to ours, Abel. Best, Art ...  

What a beautiful car! I remember ours with much fondness!! What a coincidence we share this car, color and interior!! Cheers! Abel

. . . every time I see a '65 Dart, what might have been always crosses my mind . . .

The 1919 Grand Prix season was the first season following the armistice that ended World War I in November 1918. European economies were struggling, and many automotive firms had to recover and retool from military production. So, there was very little ra...

Sadly, one of my favourite drivers of the pre war era didn’t survive the war. Georges Louis Frederic Boillot who was a great driver and pilot didn’t survive the war being shot down and killed in May 1916. His brother André Boillot was driving a Peugeot 20...  

The automobile race car drivers of this era were some of the bravest people in the world. With experimental cars and basically no modern safety gear, it is a wonder how the champions survived multiple years without loosing arms and legs. It's amazing you ... 

They were fearless ! I have been lucky enough to enjoy some time with both Alfa and Bugatti Type 35. They have my total respect !

At the time the watch was quite unknown as to the purpose of the watch until I found the 1919 advertisement. In 2019, I took the watch with me to show Walter Von Kanel this watch and others. It was then I learned they had two of them in their collection. ...  

I was only responsible for data. Never got to drive them. 😫 ...  

… period pictures. The great race was a very fun film with great actors. Your watch reminds me of an old Omega pocket watch from circa 1913 in my collection. It is described as a “motorist watch” and also has a retrograde scale on its back. Best cordial r...  

This is a very interesting watch! Was it intended to be open back on the rear dial? I see the basic design is quite similar to my 19.73N

An identical watch is shown in Mr. John Goldberger´s books about Omega and it shows it´s case back open too. Best cordial regards, Abel

Something not commonly seen, a VC Asymmetric ref 37010 in WG. The dial looks black but is actually a dark blue, to match the car I really love the quirkiness of this watch, had been searching for some time for one with a full set and this one finally appe...  

I love your Vacheron, very cool. You are right about scraping your car … or watch, not a great moment but a little love and some polish will probably fix the problem.

Didn’t know this model. Very nice and classy! Regret about the car scrapes. Probably some good car polish would help. Enjoy your VC so much! Best Abel

...  

This is a great combo ! Can I ask which Merc this is ?

...  

The end of an era for Mercedes quality !

It’s a few years ago but I was very impressed with it.

Three hours and six minutes including forty minutes break for lunch Best Regards Livius ...  

Wilily Breitling loved driving fast Bentleys ! I think he would approve of your choice 😉

replace the 30k km PS4S with a set of Conti Sport contact 7. Went thru 2 sets of PS4S so thought maybe I could give another brand a try 😂. Need to pre-order as shops don't usually carry 245 and 285 wide 21 inch tires in regular stock. Front 245/35/21 Rear...  

No wonder you get through tyres 😉 Cool Louis Erard

But for sure, the B7 has run its course with the introduction of the G70 7 series.

. . . and the Rail. I'll get better images of both later today. Note to self: don't wear a tie-dye when taking photos. ...  

If they were cars what would they be ?

. . . in sand . . . . . . and a '70 AAR 'Cuda . . . . . . in root beer brown. ...  

Hope everyone is enjoying the weekend 🥂 ...  

I tell you about my most entertaining situation im my driver's carreer: I was driving my CL 500 (V8, 435 horse power and 517 foot-pounds, 4.7 l) on a rainy morning. Expecting aqua planing but still wanting to move fast, I was driving in the middle lane, d...  

That you had the foresight to take a wrist shot during the manoeuvre 😱

I never thought during that stunt that it will not end good: I am sitting in a Mercedes, the overlord of all assisting systems! 🤣

In a black box, you will find this going on ) … ...  

...  

Thank you for joining us with your excellent photos. I particularly like your “Targa” wrist shot. Superb collection of watches you are sharing with us this weekend. Best regards Captain

Great shots and some interesting cars!! Cheers! Abel

The 330bhp V6 gently vibrating below keeps the watches fully wound, so long as you don’t corner too enthusiastically! ...  

Interesting shot to share your watch choices. I hope you remember to take them into your watch box before enjoying all those bhp!! 😉 Enjoy your Sunday!! Abel
