WristScan

The theme for this week is Next Generation - meaning watches you would like to pass on to the next generation or in case you are not that far yet to someone else significant in your life. So in essence a Patek Philippe justification to your collection… Lo...  

Soon after the little ones transitioned from grabbing to talking they decided on dibs for for specific watches. The daughter, being the elder, started first. And the Chopard LUC Chrono One was her first choice. She even made sure there’s a bite mark in on...  

... will finally go with them. It is also my desire that my son and daughter will enjoy them as much as I do now and that owning my watches will give them same happiness and joy in wearing them as I do now. I will return later with the watches I already p... 

Looking forward to seeing your entry and on both what they have already received / built up and on what your plans are 😊👍🏻

Here's the short of it.... You don't merely own a Rolex Lefty GMT, you gift it to your dad because he's your mentor, hero, and has done so very much to help (literally) tens of thousands of people live better lives, and thus making the world a far better ...  

Amazing and very heart warming! Glad you could provide him with this much joy and in such a situation shots matter less than enjoying the moment 👍🏻🙌🏻

... and in the best of good health. Thank you so much for let us share these so happy times you have spent at the Mall with your Family!! Cheers! Abel

With my teacher's calligraphy for Ming "Bright". ...  

Thinking about adopting additional watch appreciating children? 😁 Just saying 😂👍🏻👌🏻

Interesting calligraphy sample used as background. Thanks a lot for sharing! Hagwe. Abel

Hard to predict what they will do with my collection after i am gone . I sometimes discuss this with my loved ones but i hope most of them will find a nice new home . A few watches that are personal will stay in the family. One of them is this CvdK A watc...  

And you are right, they need to come into the hobby on their own terms 👏🏻 Very special piece you had made in her honor 👌🏻

Keep enjoying your timepieces so much! Hagwe! Abel

I will try to enjoy them as much as possible

But for now if I had a few that comes to mind that I would love her to enjoy it would have to be my VC, Lange, for the emotional connection to history and horology and yes, dare I say it my Rolexes…I suspect a few incoming in the next 24 months would make...  

That VC - pure perfection 👍🏻👌🏻 Forgive my tired eyes, is it one or are there a WG and RG ones? The rest are super appealing, too 👏🏻

A truly lovely piece 👌🏻👍🏻

... including the big case 662 with that stunning light brown dial. Hagwe! Abel

… at some point my entire collection will go to my son and daughter but in the meantime I have been trying to let them know how much I enjoy my passion for collecting and wearing them and helping them to discover the joy of wearing watches and to assemble...  

That custom green dial is a real cherry on the cake 🍒 Just out of curiosity, how’s their appreciation of horology developing?

... in love with it some years ago but never gave it much wearing. Some months ago my daughter saw it in my watch box and loved the color and I didn´t doubt a second to give it to her. The watch looks much more cool and pretty on her wrist and she has bee... 

The posters were made by Captain Scarlet, as usual and I do not know who the child is 🤷🏻‍♂️ Mine are still too small to fully partake but they clearly see their parents interest and maybe it will run off 🤞🏻 I am looking forward to shopping for watches wit... 

Yes, as I said before our sport is very contagious and being exposed to parents interest on watches will open their eyes about the marvelous watch world. Keep enjoying your beautiful family and watches my friend! Cheers! Abel

Will certainly do my best - holidays to start next week 😊👍🏻

Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel

Hearing about your family and your watches. The green dial Rolex is a lot of fun.

And probably the best DB for a young gentleman 👍🏻

I was deeply moved to read my name in your list . I appreciate so much my dear friend. I wish you’ll keep enjoying your family, friends and beautiful collection so much and for many, many decades and in the best of good health! A big hug for you my dear A... 

And it seems you were ‘born ready’ anyhow 👍🏻 Seeing all those watches truly makes one salivate 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Hello dear KM and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. This is a subject that I made my decisions about some years ago. I won’t go into all the details but basically one watch will stay with my wife if she lives beyond me. The watch I had on...  

Great memento for your wife and a very noble choice for the rest 👍🏻🙏🏻

Either don’t want to contemplate the future deeply or feel it’s very personal. Collecting is seen by many outsiders as a selfish sport. I intended to prove otherwise.

Oh well, maybe not the most well thought through theme 🤷🏻‍♂️

We should be challenged and start thoughtful discussion on subjects others avoid or haven’t contemplated. That’s all part of our community spirit. Thank you for hosting WristScan this weekend.

My pleasure to share this with you.
