WristScan

... Hello my dear Friends! Sorry for the delay in opening this new edition of our WS today. As announced last Wednesday the theme for this week end is: "My Favorite Watch Complication". In the middle of these trouble times we are living around the World "...  

Let me open your nice theme with GMT. WT would be more appropriate but not a single one in my stable. ...  

... And Three GMT´s from Rolex which I feel is the icon of this complication!! The JLC MC from the gold modern era of the brand is beautiful too. GMT is a very interesting complication I like so much too. Very useful for travellers and business which requ... 

This is an interesting subject Abel, as asking a collector to come up with a list of favourites gives me some very difficult decisions;-)) ... My Zenith Equation Of Time always fascinated me... Chronographs will always play a big part in my collection.. E...  

If we speak of watch complications there are so many interesting ones to choose from. You share several wonderful ones: Your superb Zenith, equation of Time AND tourbillon! Chronographs and a charming mystery seconds. All of them make for the enjoyment of... 

Your Chronograph photos are superb! Thank you for being our host this weekend. Kind regards to Mrs Subexplorer and your family 🥂

Happy Easter!

Which was your favourite ?

Surprised ?

Just to remind you of the front view ... ...  

Thank you my friend

Thanks Seeks,keep well my friend 🥂

Pleased that you like it. It’s got some good memories for me.

And congratulations on that Zenith 👌🏻

I have had the Zenith for some years now and it seldom comes out to play. The Goodyear is interesting and the “Blimp” seconds is great fun.

Have the best weekend. ...  

... some additional shots to fully enjoy viewing it. Do you have some other shots to share with us? I send my best wishes of a nice and Peaceful week end. Be safe! Abel

More shots. Best. ...  

Hagwe! Abel

Very cool 😎

5131R: 5131O 5575G 5930G And my dream watch (not mine): ...  

...other brands also offer beautiful watches with this interesting complication of course. Keep enjoying and loving these beauties and have a nice and peaceful week end my friend! Abel

Especially when it involves these beautiful watches. Which model would you choose ?

...  

Thanks for posting the photo.

I think all of us would be very surprised 😂👍🏻

Love the IWC Minute Repeater for its clean looks and overal appearance. GEO ...  

Time only watches make up the backbone of my collection, but I would regard the ultra thin Cartiers and the Bulgari Octo Finissimo that I know we both have in our collections as being a special complication in their own right. I may add some photos to thi... 

Please do post a few when you have time and enjoy your Octo in the meantime. GEO

... you are welcomed too. Agree with you that Geo´s IWC is a true delight !! Cheers! Abel

Always great to see one on WristScan. Have a great weekend.

Thank you 🙏

... which I own too and love so much. Thank you so much for sharing! Have a nice week end my friend, and stay safe! Abel

I was scrolling scrolling....am I nearing the end yet 😂 ? A few from me..mainly power reserves. Triple Cal 8 day PR 7 day PR Another 7 day PR WT and alarm Oh...one more 7 day PR 😊 ...  

I like the matching shoes and socks for the Moser Stay healthy dear SF!

... all of them marvelous pieces. Reserve de marche is a very nice complication to have, even in an automatic watch. And your VC triple date is such a charming and lovely watch which is impossible not to fall in love!! Have a nice and pacefull week end my... 

Really love your Freak 👌🏻

One of my fav complications of my collection is the Remontoire Who doesn’t love a tourbillon 😉 And how cool is a wandering and jumping hour HAGWE 🙏🏻🙏🏻 ...  

May I ask for more details of the watch shown in the last photo? Best of health.

The last watch is a NHC Vincent Calabrese . A great and very cool watch from a great watchmaker

Happy Easter!

... my watch pictures. They were small master pieces and testimony of past times. I find them charming and much more aesthetically attractive than current currency. You share wonderful pictures here. I would love to view in the metal your Gronefeld Remont... 

I agree with you about that old biljets . They where better looking imo. Wish you a great easter weekend

HAGWE👍👍👍

The wandering and jumping hours - superb 👌🏻

I dont buy them because of the complications. Just because i think they are cool and great looking 😉

This week got very interesting wristscan topic! But I think I will have to go to the simplest complication (and added bonuses). We've come so far that we have forgotten this complication because nowadays its presence is always there only to serve the owne...  

... one which most of our members (including me) don´t like too much: date and day dates. These two complications: automatics and dates are so common nowadays in mechanical watches that we don´t think of them as complications at all. But both are very pra... 

I would love to see your Connie! Hehe. But man, your Longines Chronograph though! Would you customize it by making a transparent caseback for it?

As the father of bumper automatic watches in a wristwatch. He granted his patent by UK around 1923 in his pocket watch prototype then proceed to ask fortis to make it manufactured en masse in the 1926 and introduced it in the baselworld 1926. The Léon Hat...  

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I haven’t seen this piece posted for ages. I like the design and it looks great in your wrist shot.

Thanks for the lovely comment Captain Scarlet!

Great Omega 👍

And you’re right - no one is talking about automatic anymore 👍🏻

But tourbillon, while it's not a complication, it's still highly regarded as a complication as well. Idk, perhaps when we see the day tourbillon become the standard escapement like automatic, its complication status would be obsolete as well I guess. Anyw... 

Quirky complication and unusual watch!

Which also happens to be my favorite. I noticed the Breitling Chronograph with the red seconds in one of the middle photos. It’s very cool. Would you do a post on it one day? I have never seen such configuration before. Here are some of shots of my chrono...  

Have the same model in pink gold, but I think I prefer yours. GEO

I remember you posting photos of your Mono Poussoir with its warm RG case ! Really stunning. I bought the WG because I chance upon the WG version first. Pure randomness The RG is equally delicious. Stay health and be well my friend.

I find it photogenic and easy to snap photos Best of health !

Well photographed Seeks !

I enjoyed spending time with it Best of health

Happy Easter!

...just one of the three watches you show, but that Cartier ... simply drives me crazy! I love it!! Thank you for your kind comments about my collection. I will look for the Breitling chrono with red seconds hand and will take some pictures to share with ... 

With many delectable pieces! So for me it’s deadbeat seconds (even better if paired with a foudroyante): Don’t mind the odd alarm... And have been a lifelong fan of chronographs... Have a great weekend and stay healthy! ...  

I always enjoy seeing your Habring2 and the Seiko but this time I’m drawn to your Chopard, elegant and purposeful. Best wishes to you and your family. Have a great weekend.

Same to you and yours!

I also love that Chopard! Perhaps... Someday...

... Dead seconds and foudroyante in same watch sounds awesome. Alarm and chronos are very interesting as well and I also like them so much. A flyback in a chrono is another complication I like so much. Great watches and photography as usual my friend. Hav... 

Same back to you 👍🏻🙏🏻

Also has rather nice gold medallion on case back.

And your Habring is a perfect example imho. But your JLC Memovox with that Alarm function is a amazing watch too . Like the rest of your collection.

Longines for the win. Just wow.

I ...  

Thank you so much for joining. Hagwe! Be safe. Cheers! Abel

Very nice pair.

Long time since I have seen this Zenith 👌🏻

Hi I do have watches with other complications & indeed none - but my favourite is an alarm. Posted recently a daily email for over a week & I'm still interested in more. A very particular rabbit hole to disappear down. I think you get the idea! Cheers JML...  

... and a very interesting and charming complication I also love. Cheers! Keep safe my friend! Abel

That’s a good day out for racing.

I'm just epically slow. Cheers JML ...

This watch always looks beautiful as does the movement in your Duometre. Have a great weekend.

🙏

👍👍

And that Duometre - superb 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

So many beauties make so difficult to choose just one. The Duometre and the Minute Repeater from JLC are two awesome timepieces. I would like to view in the metal the Sonata... some day when I´ll be able to visit you again. I wish it will be soon after al...

Your Zodiac collection is awesome. I would like to add a divers Zodiac to my collection, but truth is never found one in my local hunting grounds. A GMT is a great choice for travelers, but as you say both GMT and World Timer complications not only serve ...
