3rd December 2020 It’s the first WS of a new year and new decade so my plan is to do a ,, Be Different ,, theme A few members know about my love for ,, different ,, or for some ,,odd,,looking watches With different i mean : Different case designs Differen...
... and the Skin Diver Magazine a pioneer publication as well. I subscribed it for many many years in the 1960's through 80's. Great post Ludi ! Cheers! Abel
... I feel Jules Verne would have loved it!! Dial reminds me an illustration from an early edition of his book "From the Earth to the Moon"!! Fantastic! Hagwe my friend! Abel
... and you show some "different" time pieces here which won´t be easy to surpass! I´m waiting for a Tudor P01 for some time now. I was promised it would arrive in December but it did not. Now I hope January or more probably February will. I´ll digg in my...
Jean D´Eve Sectora... I bought this watch about twenty or more years ago... When I didn´t even dream with being a watch collector some day! Now residing in the watch box of Mrs. Subexplorer. Now the authentic James Bond Watch by Moeris. Note the special r...
That Jean D´Eve Sectora looks amazing . That case design is def something different and i really like retrograde watches . the Moeris looks very interesting, never seen that one before ! Great case and 007 is so cool 😎 .Your PAM is Huge 😳. Will be though ...
... it is always a big pleasure to participate. The Big Egiziano is a collection piece for a true Panerai fan with a strong historical connection. I´m very happy to own it and it is a joy for me to wind it from time to time and to view it as a Desk Clock ...
You know, the concept of "Different" is relative - it depends entirely on the basis of what you are comparing it to. Here are my most-frequently-worn watches. To me, these watches represent "Normal" - different to me would be a Patek Calatrava, LOL! But I...
...showed it around to some of you at the last Paris GTG, but it narrowly lost against the Rexhep Rexhepis, Laurent Ferriers and F.P. Journes of this world. Well, here is another try It even has two time zones ...
Evidently, this is a watch that by its specifications usually would NOT be posted at WPS – except in this special case, where the WristScan theme is “be different”. And different it is indeed, compared to our usual objects of desire. Some technical charac...
Hi My different watch is my Nomos Tangente A mere 35mm of watch, bought when the stampede to larger watches was at its peak. Not only for that, but at the time Nomos were very niche & where I bought it from was about as far away from a normal watch shop a...
DIFFERENT... Why this one might ask, well it's the only one ever made in platinum. No question here! Pretty sure this qualifies ;-) I know this does! Excellent topic Watchonthewrist! HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim Almost forget to add this submission! 1971 UN Fas...
I think (i know) we have similar taste . I love all your entries a lot . Beautiful PSM , amazing AS and a true grail VH . Your last pic the UN is a huge surprise, never seen this one before. Thanks for participating and wish you a great weekend.
Love that gold UR103 and the Freak is a watch i had in mind when thinking about the theme .Love the LeCoultre but don’t know anything about the watch on the first picture ! Thanks 🙏🏻
there isn't much info available.. Crown Comfort wrote about MIMO which was owned by a German who later took over GP. The MIMO brand was supposed to be for the European markets while GP focused on N. America. And Hardy and Hayes Co was a jeweler in Pittsb...
Elliptical: 'C' case: Bullseye: Some have weathered the decades fashions, some less so & some have been reinvented. Would like to see a modern C case offering though (in a non diver style). Cheers, Giles ...
It would be interesting to have a modern offering with that classic shape. I feel Hamilton has recently offered a re issue of one of their vintage models with a C case. I like that Hamilton very much. Hagwe! Abel
... and the Hamilton I referred is the Pilots Pioneer Mechanical. Need to see it in the metal. (photo below) Looks very interesting. Mis mejores deseos para ti tambien amigo!! Abel ...
The fume HF and alarm GP's and blue dial dynamic are late 60's. The Zodiac is in their '76 catalogue. The UN is 1974 and Bullseye Omega and GP 1973. I seem to like straight hands and no numbered indices - in fact the only departure on numbers / straight h...
Your Konstantin Chaykin is truly cool! Looking at my watches, I guess these are a little different from the rest! many thanks for taking the time to host! best regards ...
With its case shaped like the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the 101 was the first watch created by the company, with the orbiting hours and minutes indication, inspired by 16th century Italian night clocks made for the Pope. It relies on a carrousel d...
