Wristscan - “Time To Enjoy” - LIVE ! ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 14th, 2021-12:14
Welcome to WristScan dear friends, This weekend our theme is “Time to enjoy”... The theme was inspired by my conversation with a member of our community when discussing the balance between preserving and enjoying our special watches. A big part of the sat...
Hmm, so I think I will start 😁
By: Filip : May 14th, 2021-14:18
One of my first watches, when I joined the watch forum in 2005, was Seiko SKZ209 - I was really impressed by the quality/price ratio. Then I discovered vintage pieces and I owned many Lord Matics, flyback chrono, Grand Seiko and King Seiko. Especially las...
That’s a superb King Seiko Filip ....
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 14th, 2021-14:25
It deserves to be celebrated on Wristscan. I would love to see a few more shots over the weekend of this one if you have the time. Thanks for joining us Best regards The Captain
Keeping my eye on KS . . .
By: Dr No : May 15th, 2021-02:57
. . . and hoping for a black dial without calendar function. Had my fair share of Seikos and Grand Seikos over the years, but itching for a King. Art
I've been looking at vintage on eBay, Cap, but . . .
By: Dr No : May 15th, 2021-13:47
. . . in a curious twist would prefer NIB. If any watch deserves to be considered a bargain, KS is it. They deserve our affection and attention for crafting excellence at an affordable price.
Nice shot indeed...
By: KMII : May 16th, 2021-04:56
And a reissue I also decided to go for (picture lower down). That one definitely benefits from natural light and time to appreciate fully 😊👍🏻
Switching it up for summer
By: Timeout : May 14th, 2021-15:27
Just received a new strap for the summer! Would have been easy to label this as a dress watch but this “funs it up” ...
The real deal ! ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 14th, 2021-20:45
I can think of a better example of a tool watch from the 80’s.
I stumbled upon this one 15 years ago
By: 198042 : May 14th, 2021-16:40
and only realized much later what I had gotten into: Then this one came along and now I have a contest which one to favor... Both are about the same age and the geiger counter records a similar radiation for both of them... So sometimes, the flip of a coi...
Wow Richard ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 14th, 2021-20:48
That lollipop seconds hand has blown me away.. Please tell us more about how you came to own this classic 2998.
Thanks Captain!
By: 198042 : May 15th, 2021-03:43
It's a very basic story on the 2998: I stumbled upon it on the auction platform in the old days when we hardly knew anything about these and the seller description was very vague. My main reason for me to buy it was the bracelet - of all things! How "illi...
That’s a good story....
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 15th, 2021-07:56
Those were the days ! I was going to mention the Heuer, it looks superb with a perfect bezel. I would love to hear how you came by this one.
Acted fast and paid dearly
By: 198042 : May 15th, 2021-17:02
It was on a German dealer website and I nailed it within the blink of an eye after it popped up. Just lucks to be at my computer at the right time. Been told that there were several others just a bit slower than I was... Cheers RIchard

Definitely one on my radar. Are you enjoying it ?
No Switzerland since 2019, eh?
By: KMII : May 16th, 2021-05:07
Great shots and would like to hear some impressions on the Nivada, once you’ve had it for a while 😊🤞🏻
I still remember one night in Dresden, six years ago.
By: Joffre : May 14th, 2021-18:48
The lounge in the hotel which I stayed in allowed guests to smoke after 1100 pm. I was sitting there alone, staring at my watch, just waiting for the moment to come. Around a quarter to eleven, all those good gentlemen began to knock their tables using th...

Welcome to Wristscan with your superb Omega 300M, one of my favourite watches from Omega. It looks very good. How long have you had this one ?
I'll join you with a third Omega, Hans . . .
By: Dr No : May 15th, 2021-03:52
. . . that just came back from my watchmaker's shop today. This '58 ref 2852 was my third Omega, acquired over ten years ago to complement Black Connie. It was serviced by my then-current watchmaker in 2010. Mr B (his first initial really is 'B', but it m...

By: Cpt Scarlet : May 15th, 2021-08:20
It looks jut the way I like them. Gently enjoyed by a caring owner. The balance staff is a common problem for us collectors, many incorrect ones used over the years.
ROFL ! ...

And a great example of the other wonderful aspect of our community 👍🏻
Congratulations on getting this one ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 14th, 2021-21:50
watchonthewrist, it looks very good. I must try this one as soon as possible. I’ve been a little distracted hunting another watch recently. I’m sure you know the feeling ;-)) ... Best regards The Captain
I hear you...
By: KMII : May 16th, 2021-05:13
I regularly groan when I discover pieces that haven’t been worn for too long. Great shots of your BB 🙌🏻

By: KMII : May 16th, 2021-05:17
The Sub is one of your classics but the Pasha here intrigues me. Unlike some previous versions there seems to be no lume. Is the WR still diving compatible? And it seems there is a quick change strap mechanism? Cool pieces and I hope you enjoy them this w...

It deserves to see some daylight and feature on Wristscan. Have you had this one for long ?
I’ve had it for about a year.
By: baldywatchman : May 15th, 2021-14:55
I remember seeing a Diablo years ago and loved it. It was out of my price range then. This piece came up as new and I just went for it. It’s not the best version IMO but the simplicity of the dial makes the movement stand out
Such a lovely piece, this...

Spoilt for choice, I love all three ! Don’t make me choose !!! Hypothetical question for you ... If your house was burning down which one would you save ?
That’s a tough choice

I need to make sure my house is not burnt down. That’s the best solution.

A holy trinity one could say ⚖️
