WristScan

Hello friends of WristScan, This weekend our theme is “Sunshine Watches” .... Everyone loves the sunshine ! Most of us are enjoying fine weather and matching our watches is all part of the fun. It’s always interesting to see which watches our community ar...  

have a good week end all ...  

Welcome to WristScan psfparis. The champagne dial on your Oyster Day-Date certainly has the Sunshine vibe. Have you had this one for many years ?

Such is life ! Have a great weekend.

HAGWE all BR Hans P.S. I know, I need to work on the date setting.. picture taken today just before lunch time.. ...  

I really like the design of this watch. The red seconds hand looks very good and it also has one of my favourite vintage Omega bracelets. Nice wrist shot !

… vintage DD and DJ with pie pan dials and spade or dauphine hands. I also like to wear DD with leather straps which are elegant and sporty at the same time. Mine says hello! Hagwe! Abel ...  

All of them are still with me and being heavily worn. YM's turn right now. ...  

Beautiful choices for our Sunshine theme. The gold and steel Daytona is a perfect example of a watch to enjoy in Sunshine, I can imagine it possibly with a white linen shirt in the sunshine to complete the look. Do you take it on holiday ?

Its my first serious watch, bought arpund 13 years ago or so.

Here some „sunshine“ chips.. Leisure afternoon.. A cool shot on a hot day.. The JLC - DSA/ US in her natural habitat.. FF No-Rad ready for the beach.. - Hope you like some a bit. Best & HAGWE to all, hs. ...

Great shots for our theme. I’m definitely feeling the Sunshine in your selection of watches in your static shots. How about a wrist shot ? Well played !

- Just sun, water and leisure time.. Without further ado here just those few.. Cool MIH in mellow afternoon mood.. My Breguet 5817 in full summer surroundings ...  

🙂 😎

The other watches I could wear too!

... your Reverso. Your DSA against blue rope shot is stunning indeed. And your Sunny No Rad FF? well ... you know... you always keep me drooling when you share it here my friend. That´s my grail which I´m still hunting. May be some day will arrive to my c... 

🕶

Nothing like a blue sunburst dial and domed reflective glass to capture the last of the days’s rays! ...  

Loving that strap that complements the dial so well. Good choice !

HAGWE! ...  

I have been thinking about trading this watch, but the photos I posted are making me think otherwise.

… signature Summer watch for you!! I wish you’ll keep loving and enjoying it so much!! Nice shots!! Hagwe! Abel

Hope that you had an excellent week. The first shot shows the sunshine hitting your dial and looking very cool.

...  

The dial would be different

The first shot is excellent, capturing the Sunshine on your dial. Well played !

In the sun. ...  

The dial looks beautiful with the sunshine on it. Have you had this one for long ?

...  

The Bathyscaphe in its natural environment. Well played !

I'm curious to find out if the ceramic version is made of fully ceramic. Some websites said it is titanium coated with ceramic (plasma ceramic technology). May be getting this, or the SS version soon.

….. I bought this as a beach / salt water watch and is absolutely impervious to daily dings and marks. Like all ceramics prone to crack and shear if dropped onto a hard surface.

I'll wait till the lockdown ends, and head to the AD to try this out. Also looking at the Moonphase and chrono version. They said the chrono can be used underwater, which makes it an interesting technical plus point. Have a great week.

. . . last night. No color adjustments - that pic is straight off the iPhone camera. More to come . . . ...  

I love the chalk dial of this Seiko!! Hagwe! Abel

. . . accompanied by Jerry's Sub. Jerry hangs out with us occasionally at our pool tournaments. He's one of those guys that owns a few watches but wears his Sub most of the time. Art ...  

Well captured Art. How’s your Grand Seiko going ?

. . . and I searched everywhere for it. When I went to my spare parts box a few days ago to look for a buckle, there it was. Glad to have this one back in the rotation. It was acquired on my behalf by Ken H and restored by none other than the Godfather of...  

I did a similar thing and couldn’t find a watch that I had “carefully” stored away. It took me literally weeks to hunt it down :-(

. . . the safe deposit box. You can imagine how I felt when it wasn't found there. I was sure it was a goner until it popped up serendipitously earlier this week.

...  

We don’t see this Rolex very often. It looks superb. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend.

... blue background. Guess we have a winner here! Hagwe! Abel

While the watch didn’t last in my collection this photo in Koh Samui always makes me rethink my decision… ...  

Can you tell us anything more about your decision to sell this one ?

This watch was a dream for me - so it was really hard to let this go back to the manufacturer. What I realized is that despite having 50m water resistance and usable by the pool, there are particular crevices around the sapphire case that are not “water s... 

As you can see, absorbs sunlight more than reflecting Cheers Peter ...  

...  

Enjoy your weekend my friend

Lots to like about your lineup for WristScan this weekend. The first wrist shot of your Panerai with the low sun on the dial is very nice.

Also the last shot of your Rolex OP is striking with that red dial against an almost all black background. Looks like it is jumping out of my screen! Stunning shot! Hagwe my friend. Abel

Now if I could just achieve the same state of happiness with my dress watch it would be nirvana!

Our Forum through its members serves as a wonderful source of inspiration and guidance. I’m sure you can achieve your nirvana with your dress watch as well! Cheers! Abel

I have been taken by surprised both way as such with watch I got which turned out to be strong winners and others where the joy of wearing them is much less then anticipated!

We should always check a probable purchase viewing in the metal and trying it on our own wrist. Many wonderful watches we view in pictures disappoint us when we view it strapped on our wrists. Sometimes it happens the opposite. A watch we have never thoug... 

I also love sunshine even in these days in which we are going through our Winter. I will play with some shots taken in past Summers. Have a nice and relaxed weekend dear Captain and to all our friends here. Abel ...  

Beautiful photos of your watches in the sunshine. For me, a Doxa always looks perfect by the sea. Your vintage Rolex Submariner is sublime. I didn’t remember your Scubapro watch. Very interesting. Have you had this one for long ? Best regards and have a g... 

… on my Sunshine watches! As you know the 5508 is one of my favorite Subs and I’m happy you like it so much. The Scubapro 500 is an interesting watch connected with one of the most respected scuba equipment makers. It looks very similar to some Eterna wat... 

One day, one day ! The Scubapro is certainly an interesting watch. I have always respected the Scubapro equipment, especially the regulators. I have several that have been completely reliable.

... prices will keep on the rise I guess. Agree with you about Scubapro equipments. In the mid1960´s and 70´s when I started scuba diving I had the opportunity to dive with Argentine Navy and Coast Guard divers and they were issued Scubapro equipment. It ...

Continue to wear it in the very Best of your health ! I also always appreciate your comments & the dedication you put into your selections. This week is no difference !.. For me that superb PAM 687 is a true winner ! As always, Best hs

Always my pleasure to participate in our weekly event WS! I wish you a wonderful weekend my dear friend! Cheers! Abel

😊 😎

I just received this watch today which was perfect timing to take it under the sun for this week’s theme. The MOP dial was beautiful with the sunshine and I would need a better camera to catch the colorful reflections. Here are a few pictures to share inc...  

and a warm welcome to WristScan. Your new Sinn is absolutely stunning and perfect for our sunshine theme. We should call it “The black pearl” ;-)) Have a great weekend !

... or in any kind of weather! I wish you´ll enjoy in the best of good health. Hagwe! Abel

I wanted to have a Sinn watch for a long time. I almost bought their tide watch a while back (I grew up near the sea). I am very happy with this MOP piece and the all black case and bracelet look better than I expected. Have a very nice weekend to you too... 

You made a great choice here. Very unusual an MOP dial in a diving watch this precious material makes for an unique stunning dial and watch. Keep loving and enjoying it so much! Cheers! Abel

… great to have a place here to share experiences and opinions about our watches! Have a nice week ahead! Abel

...  

I hope that you are keeping well. Your beautiful Daniel Roth strikes again ! Wow, it looks good in the sunshine.

Hopeless for a sunny wrist scan contender But of course, they had it wrong, again, and this morning, the sun is out! I managed to get a nice little sparkle of my Jaeger LeCoultre Master 8 Days in Rose Gold. Not to influence the judges in any way, but isn'...  

HAGWE 🤗 ...  

Hello dear friends, I hope that you are enjoying our WristScan theme. Some watches in my collection just remind me of the pleasure that I have had with them in the sunshine. Have a great weekend ! ...  

Just checking....... ...

I particularly like the idea of the fun shot ! GMT-Master and a bottle of chilled Rose in the sunshine.... living the dream ! Have a great weekend.

HAGWE Best Ø ...  

In a beautiful location. I always enjoy spending time in Venice. Have a great weekend.

Some people travel here for a week-end, I like to stay longer and to get lost in the city. I’m here for a week with my daughters and watches ;-) A real pleasure because it’s not overcrowded this year ! Best Ø

...  

Well played FRAMII !

The only photo I had with sunshine’s was this old photo.

That’s a great shirt Mike. You definitely qualify for extra points on WristScan this weekend !

with my CFB manero peripheral. A Coruña. Spain. Great weekend to everybody. ...  

...  

Is grand!! What a beautiful place for a walk. Best, Timerider

the final result is not good.. In the originals the watch is much better captured. Feliz fin de semana.

… trying and keep posting here to get the knack of it. I look forward to more posts from you sharing your watches and your beautiful land! Buena semana mi amigo! Abel

A Coruña Is a beautiful place. I look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend.

do not hesitate to contact me if you need any advice. Best.

It’s a beautiful place and the food is superb ! ... but you know that ;-)) I will return as soon as possible.

. . . on vintage Grand . . . . . . in my backyard. Oh, and you knew . . . . . . this was coming. 😌 ...  

I had not heard, really like the Saxophone with John’s voice. That Seiko is a keeper too. Tim

. . . that's a soprano sax, unless I'm much mistaken. The GS has just left my wrist for the Dorn . . . will take a fresh pic later today. Warmest, Art

The Grand Seiko is looking good 👍

...  

Ice Crème? Sounds bon. C’est certain que ice cream est toujours le fun!

at least that was my idea 💡😌

Your AP looks very cool in the sunshine. Thank you for joining us for WristScan and I hope you have a great weekend.

Hi A few from when the sun was shining Enjoy the summer while it lasts. Cheers JML ...  

I particularly like the sunshine reflecting on this shot. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend. ...  

. . . overlooking the Conejo Valley. So Cal summer at its best, a balmy 66º F . . . ...  

I really like your Dorn.

The weather is stupidly hot in Hong Kong, making wearing a watch on rubber obligatory. And seeing that my Speedmaster is still at the service center, I am wearing my 4th of July color coded Sinn U50. This is a great summer watch, which will take just abou...  

Hope all is well with you, and that you manage to enjoy the summer despite the worsening situation in France.

The sunshine just catching the bezel... very cool !

under the French sun in Saint-Tropez ...  

Stay cool, keep hydrated 😁 ...  

Love your photo of the ice cream ! Definitely bonus points for this shot 🍦 Enjoy !

Soft and beautiful in the garden... Have a great Sunday ! ...  

It’s an easy watch to enjoy.

...  

That’s a lot of fun. Have a great weekend.

Starts Friday !

Have a great week !

Sorry but very patchy internet access made this very late. Btw. the VC is a bit tongue in cheek - no watches were harmed in the making of this 😉 ...  

Your Vacheron just keeps torturing me !

This one swept me off my feet with it's amazing Zaratsu finish, stunning bezel and precise movement with great views through the caseback. ...  

Is this your first post on WristScan ?

I posted my Grand Seiko SBGC238 chronograph but I'm not sure all of you can see the images.

To participate in WS you will need to wait to the opening of a new thread next Friday 6th with a new Theme which will be announced by the host. To post your beautiful Seiko SBGC238: You should do it in the Seiko Forum of WatchProSite. I have answered you ...
