A Tale of Two Breguets
I don't wear this lovely yellow gold Breguet Marine 5817ba on a marvelous bracelet even though I love it, due to the way it might attract attention.
This charming Breguet 7787bb, on the other hand, is always welcome to join me in a field of wild flowers (and a little bit of rain).
Or, a rose garden (no rain required)!

WristScan "COMPETING FOR YOUR WRISTTIME" is now LIVE!
Hello dear fellow purist! This week-end I have the pleasure of hosting our WristScan. The theme this week-end is: WristTime, or more precisely, Competing for you WristTime! The idea is for you to share with us: 1- what watch in your collection is grabbing...
To help get things going, for me...
since i basically reset 100% of my collection in the last 14 months or so I can say that most of my watches are getting similar wristtime. That was not the case before! Focusing only on my current collection then, two of them stand out to get more wrist t...
Very interesting and …
We have very similar thoughts on our collections and how we use them. The Lange and Tudor are an excellent combination to enjoy and switch between on a daily basis depending on how we feel and the location. As for Panerai I use several different models bu...
Agree with you feelings dear Captain. Regrettably, as much as I enjoy wearing Rolex, it is not very safe to wear them openly (or even concealed under the shirt or jacket cuffs) in the streets of...
... my city. We are fortunate to have the choice for every occasion or place! Cheers! Abel
I’m sure that …
our friend “Q” could modify it to make it very safe in the right hands 😉 ...
Fantastic new wristscan thread, splendid start, and great post pertaining to this interesting topic.
Your L&S and BB58c are gorgeous and I do agree with you about wishing to avoid drawing unnecessary attention (with the exception of other enthusiasts and friends/family). I am sure your PAM may reignite that feeling again in the future! Your Explorer 2 is...
Hello dear friend Yacomino! Interesting to read your thoughts about your most and less worn watches. I easily understand your feelings. But I´m surprised to know you do not get to ...
... fully connect with your anonimo Pam. I thought you liked it so much as per your sharing it in previous posts. But I can understand that too, because it happens me all the time. Some watches we get to love more than others, some of them so deeply. Othe...
What i am starting to realize (for me anyway) is that it is sometime normal to fall out of love with one of my watch, but most of the time that love is rekindled at one point...
If it does not, then it become a possible target for divestiture ! Cheers Abel
Agreed! Right now I am lucky in that I love everyone of the watches in my collection and while some get more wristtime I am passionate about each one…
This has not always been the case as until I found out the type of watches I like (of course I like several type) there was a lot more turnover in them
Again I understand you. Watch collecting as in other areas of collecting different objects is a long long journey. While crossing it we learn, discover new variants, and we change...
... tastes or the course of our collecting. Main thing is to get the most enjoyment from the pieces we own whichever the quantity, brands or models. Cheers! Abel
Thanks for hosting this WS dear Chronometer .

Starting with …
This interesting theme and my thoughts on the watches in my collection grabbing the most Wrist Time. This is something that changes, influenced by clothing, places and seasons. Twice this week … Yesterday’s choice… On my wrist today … I’ll be back later w...
In the last year or so I've been successful in leveling the amount of wrist time . . .
. . . my watches receive. There's forty that get roughly equal time now. Can't say there's one that gets more wrist time than the others, but there are a few that get short changed precisely because they're so precious. I've owned this Ω ref 2364 30T2rg c...
Wow Art it is very impressive that you manage to split your wrist time between so many great watches! Clearly this is a sign that your collection to become the perfect one in that you get to enjoy every one of them
Every-time i add a watch I aim to achieve just that in the long run! Cheers
It's been a struggle to level the amount of time . . .
. . . between all the watches in my collection. Precious metals aren't really suited for everyday wear, so I tended to skip over them in the past, but I've been making a conscious effort to rotate thru recently. That's why you've been seeing the Centenary...
It’s interesting to hear about…
How you have managed to use so many of your watches. I really need to increase the rotation of my regular selection. Your 2364 30T2rg chronometer looks very cool.
Hello dear Art! Nice to know you could balance the wrist time of your wonderful Omega collection! Even if it is not easy to choose among so many superb pieces. Now that you mention...
... the Flightmaster I remembered my Friendship FM and feel I haven´t given the wrist time it deserves lately. Will get mine next week on my wrist again! Hagwe my dear friend. A big Hug for you! Best, Abel
This one will be getting the most wrist time ….
for obvious - if not shallow! - reasons. Just arrived today 😊 ...
Many thanks.
And this one gets the least wrist time. It’s quite a digression from most of my watches - and right now is with Bvlgari for service so I’ll make a point of wearing it when it comes back - hopefully in April. ...
Wow!
This Moser PC is a very special piece with definitely an unique design. Many congrats! Thomas
Many thanks. I believe that they’ve just started shipping as Up to now I’ve only seen the marketing materials from August through October last year.
I got this direct from Moser so suspect it’s one of the first shipments as they indicated Q1 2022 for availability back when I spoke with them in October.
I am a big fan of the Moser PC.
I like the very reduced design. Here my Purity: Yours has the big advantage to fit in all life situations. A sports watch with a good WR and in steel. Great! ...
I have been wearing ...
this since it arrived in late Dec. All of my other watches are sitting in boxes since then. I'll probably go back to them at some point, but now that I have ordered a custom strap for the Zeit, it'll be a while ... ...
This zeitwerk is absolutely gorgeous.
It deserves a long honeymoon. Your other watches are jealous i guess
Good to see this Zeit being posted on WristScan …
What strap have you ordered to go with it ?
It's custom-made ...
olive Minerva Box leather strap, from a small local (Canadian) shop ... should be here any day now!
As usual a very interesting theme Chronometer, so let me chime in with two watches for your thread this weekend...
The first is the Patek I mentioned to you in response to another post yesterday, the one who's probably been getting the most wrist time in total since I purchased it nearly 13 years ago! The 5167 is one of the most versatile Pateks in the entire catalog,...
Hi Fab …
I completely agree with you about the 5167 being one of the most versatile Pateks, in fact it’s probably one of the most versatile watches ever made. Best regards Captain
Dear Fabrizio,
this 5167 really looks fantastic on your wrist. Seems like made for you. Your choices are very interesting for me given the other watches you have in your collection. Cheers Thomas
Omega month
Hi guys. My first time joining you in this feature. This month I have been alternating between the Omega watches in the pic. There are models from the 70s, 80s, 90s & current day in there. The Seamaster with the black dial has been replaced as my favourit...
That’s a very versatile collection …
and interesting to see them all lined up. Difficult to beat a Speedmaster.
Interesting …
I just love a good Speedmaster ! Good to have you with us for WristScan.
Grabbing the least WristTime …
Hello dear friends ! One of the watches that gets the least wrist time is my Zenith Montre d'Aéronef Type 20, otherwise known as “The Beast”. I have genuine affection for this watch and wouldn’t dream of passing it on. The reasons why it doesn’t get a lot...
Great theme, Y!
Currently, I seem to be coming to this GS SLGH005 on a daily basis because the dial, new case, & versatility. The Skydweller is my favorite because of sentimental value but not worn out much because too flashy for my line of work. I do give it a wind week...
Three great watch and choice my friend! Of course i share your love for this GS with their new case! How do you find legibility on the white birch dial?
And like you i am also conscious not to wear my Rolex in some work condition! Thanks for participating!
I already wrote it to you:
this GS SLGH005 with this strap looks amazing. Great pic! Cheers Thomas
Hello dear Yacomino!! Your Theme this weekend is very challenging and inviting to much thoughts regarding our most worn and less worn watches...
... It is specially challenging the answer when a collection is large or considering certain characteristics of our watches. I mean... there are watches I love so much like my Speedmaster Moonshine which I would like to wear more often but which I rarely ...
Thank you so much dear friend Yacomino
For your kind comments and for remembering my CV Vacheron. Yes, this is a watch I love so much that I can were all year around. Truth is that owning a large collection gives a lot of joy and satisfaction but also has its drawback: wearing them in a rotati...
