WristScan

Hello Friends! We know that getting a new watch to our collection is a big big pleasure but there are many other small (or big) pleasures we can enjoy as well: taste a good whiskey, tea or coffe or just our favorite soft drink. We can also indulge tasting...  

...  

… of your awesome Ressence. There is some kind of magic when inter acting and viewing this watch work. Have a great weekend!! Cheers. Abel

All their models look pretty amazing. GEO

As both me and the friend are both “vintage” I thought an old favourite Omega would be appropriate. Regards Kev. ...  

… than sharing time with a good old friend?? Nice vintage Omega to have on your wrist!

and your dog looks good ;-))

Ours is 14.

And a walk in nature with a dog is a wonderful thing indeed 👍🏻

One of my guilty pleasures is watch straps. I probably acquired it early when I got into this hobby, as one of my first good watches was a Panerai Luminor Marina (PAM1). And one of the great joys of owning a Panerai is changing straps all the time. I must...  

… is very enjoyable indeed. And Paneristi have an special fondness for this. Though of course it can be played with almost any watch with identical pleasure. I am always amazed with how much we can change the character or mood of a watch with just a quick... 

As for straps, I have come to the conclusion that they make for 50% of the looks of a watch. Even an average watch can look good with a great strap.

… about the importance of choosing the right strap for our personal taste in our watches. It has happened to me that a straps change has fueled my desire to wear a watch more often after finding the one which I liked best. Cheers! Abel

I think I can relate to that one! 👍👍👍 Thanks a pretty cool orange strap combo!

The orange tropic strap on your Speedmaster is a cool choice. I love that first shot ! Have a great weekend.

With the current state of the watch industry I often find myself more excited by a new strap 😉 Great tropic pairing 🙌🏻👏🏻🍊

That PAM is so sweet! Might be the next and last one I had to my 47mm collections! Looks so clean without the crown

Pam 587 MM is a sweet cool watch. I have an special fondness for this Panerai. And an MM inscription on the dial always makes a Panerai more special in my point of view. Hope you find yours soon. It will make a great addition to your fine collection my fr... 

Still need to get better, but it‘s fun and somewhat a nice and relaxed morning activity. ...  

Also, the fresh grinded coffee smells really good and and it‘s much less waste than the capsules. I can recommend trying it. Also enough tutorials on youtube.

Can we see a wrist shot 🙏

...  

That looks great 👍

Thank you for sharing your shot with us! Hagwe. Abel

It's Made of semitranslucent ceramic, so if you look closely, you can see some movement parts through it. It's also available in different colours (e.g. Red)

Another very enjoyable pastime 👌🏻

My favourite past time since young. Maybe that’s when I got hooked onto watches instead of cars. So here is my Rolex. I’ve got 2 Rolex watches to satisfy my childhood dream of reading Rolex ads. Sadly my Daytona is stuck overseas. Interestingly I was list...  

and good to hear your thoughts on The podcast with Jean Claude Biver.

For the mind. I was listening to the podcast while walking the dogs in the forest behind my house, for an hour. Time just flew by and it was filled with inspiration for a better tomorrow.

... I also was very fond of viewing their Rolex ads. I already was a strong fan of the Rolex Sub at that time though I had to wait till 1966 to own my first one (a 5513 gilt dial). Interesting comments about the J.C. Biver podcast. Thank you so much for y... 

Whenever I see those ads, my mind is filled with dreams. I don’t look at the watch much, rather I imagine myself like Snoopy imagining himself as the Red Baron

Growing up, I remember looking forward to the gorgeous photos. The writing wasn't bad too! Did you hear the one about the guy who said he read National Geographic for the same reason he read Playboy? Because he liked to look at pictures of places he'd nev... 

Dreams fuel the tomorrow. Without dreams, life can become meaningless.

Always seeing Explorer and Submariner ads.

When I was a kid I was dreaming of a NG subscription but it was geographically not possible then 🤷🏻‍♂️ Loved the NG shot in London. And still massively enjoy the output they produce. But somehow never subscribed, even when it became easy 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great shot ... 

I subscribed to Disney+ and ended up watching the Nat Geo content on it more. Lots of great shows to pass the time in this lonesome lockdown. I try to live an adventurous life as much as time allows, usually with a weekend swim in the sea (3km or so) or s... 

... tools or clothing. Whichever the activity I had also preferred to make it with my own equipment or tools which add to me an special gratification. I do not consider myself an adventurer nor sportman (so far from that) but I´ve been passionate about sp... 

I wish I had a scuba tank compressor too. That is next level! You’ve planted adventurous ideas in my mind now. The world is the oyster indeed.

I’m old and out of training now. But hopefully next year will try again some shalow diving. Keep safe Cookies and enjoy the adventures! Cheers! Abel

Would love to add more hiking and sea based stuff to the activity list soon, though 👍🏻🤞🏻

If you need anything more please just let me know.

And a couple of years ago I started going for the 1:18 size. Currently all stuck in a different country from me 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great shot 🙌🏻👌🏻

I have probably a hundred plus more (toy cars, unfortunately not watches) in storage at my parents’ house, which unfortunately isn’t close.

these salmon dial watches are stunning! Geo

The Karma Sutra shot in the car did make me wonder what category that was supposed to be 😂😂😂

Excellent shots and choice of watches Abel.

you had the Rolex “Coke” GMT- Master. Excellent photo.

... a friend of mine located the last one in stock in my Country in a local AD. It came with the Coke bezel which I made it changed for a Pepsi in the Rolex official service but later returned it to the original black and red one as it looks today. Thanks... 

...  

I´m specially fond of the Duometre Unique Travel Time Boutique edition. That´s a true grail for me. Great entry my dear friend. Abrazos y buen fin de semana! Abel

.. as always from the Master’s box - breathtaking ! Thx for sharing these marvels !! Best, hs.

It is very exotic

Especially the first one.

Travel being a strong theme for you 😁 Was missing some of your famous car shots, though 😉🤞🏻

Excellent choice.

... of past models of the brand. Very interesting and attractive indeed. Regarding the awesome second watch you share here, I had never seen this before. Can you give us more information about it please? Great piece! Have an enjoyable weekend! Abel

The last watch is a carrousel complication. I received it as a gift and I was very surprised to see the dial actually rotated when I first time had it on my wrist. I shared some more info and pictures in my reply to amanico and please see my reply there. ... 

Again the Odysseus is a wonderful new model from Lange and I´m happy to know you love it so much and can well understand you. My big pleasure to view and comment your post. Hagwe! Abel

Enjoy your weekend!

And you brought up one more - actually quite enjoyed the PS during the days I still got to play it occasionally 😉🤷🏻‍♂️

You’re right - graphics, physics engines, the lot 👍🏻

Reading for me, mainly fiction This last title has a vintage Heuer watch as a cameo at the end of the story, described as 'a purely mechanical device, a piece of craftsmanship. No quartz or a single microchip inside, everything operated by delicate spring...  

Great hobby reading.

... tribute to the original a few years ago. You also show a superb vintage IWC. The black dial and nice arabic numerals add to its charm and beauty. Interesting reference to the Heuer watch in the last book. Seems like the author knows about mechanical w... 

Fantastic shots and definitely some books worth trying out - thanks for the tips 🙏🏻

Hi Ruffian, that is a lovely looking IWC. Not seen that one before what is the reference please? Cheer.

It's a vintage model with the calibre 83.

Best & HAGWE, hs.

And if I recall correctly, South Africa is a regular enjoyment topic, too, right? 😊 And the cooling down shot never gets old 🙌🏻

Breakfast in the garden is a great way to start the day, especially when you have a JLC on your wrist. Have a great weekend

Do u find the bezel of the daytona to be a hairline scratch magnet?

The Zenith movement Daytona isn’t easy to replace, especially with the “full set”

👌🏻🤗

Hope you are enjoying your weekend

... appropriate choice I feel. And the Zenith variant a coveted piece of collection. Mine says hello! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Cheers! Abel. ...  

Haha … It’s good to see you sharing the passion for the Zenith Daytona, especially with the black dial.

A bit of an issue doing that of you’re on a city trip with the family, though 😂 Great shots, Captain 👍🏻

The race is always exciting as it unfolds. Hope you and your family are enjoying the weekend. Best regards Captain
