WurstScan from 21.08 - 23.08. "Recognition" is now open!
By: COUNT DE MONET : August 21st, 2020-08:08
My dearest friends! I have got the immense pleasure to host this week's round of WristScan, with the theme "Recognition". The theme was in my head, because of the movie "Behind the candelabra", a movie about Liberace's life, where Michael Douglas plays hi...
Two entries

For deep knowledge I will enter my Langematik Sax-O-Mat that I purchased in 1998 and which is still with me. The reason is that this watch was presented to me in the end of 1997 by Mr. Lange and Mr. BlΓΌmlein during one of their events and I guess I was on...
Love your JLCs
By: penfriend : August 21st, 2020-09:37
I do not own a JLC but some of your pictures start my appetite ;-)
I love your style!

A Casio I did not expect but itβs so apropos ππ»
I can only give the compliment back!
By: COUNT DE MONET : August 21st, 2020-08:57
I knew something with bakelite would turn up ! Great, great selection of watches from an esteemed colector of WatchProsite!
For me it has to be this old favourite.
By: kev09 : August 21st, 2020-10:15
Whilst it often receives attention and nice comments, it flies very much under the radar for most people. Only a watch person will recognise the unique style and function and be able to identity it. ADs usually offer a compliment which is nice. Regards Ke...
Who can't notice such a beauty?
By: COUNT DE MONET : August 21st, 2020-10:20
A lovely, lovely Reverso and yet another JLC ! Very nice piece! All you need ...
Great theme

I do not usually βdress up β that way but a few years ago I went into a watch shop in Lucerne and looked at some Ulysse Nardin, wearing this. A staff member came and launched into an explanation on how they are one of the oldest and most respected watch b...
Hi Andreas, you just gave this theme the turbo punch!
By: COUNT DE MONET : August 21st, 2020-11:26
A spectacular piece and even somebody without any knowledge in watches can tell that this piece is serious watchmaking. Funny, to see that how many of us do pick a special piece for a vist to the AD ... Thnak you for your top entry.

Perfect watch.
By: brauner : August 23rd, 2020-10:18
Btw not easy to talk with staff about watches even in a shop where they sell good watches.
IsnΒ΄t that the truth!!
By: donizetti : August 23rd, 2020-10:51
But there are also very knowledgable exceptions of course. Best Andreas
I love that La Tradition
By: donizetti : August 21st, 2020-11:31
had that same model about 10 years ago and stil miss it sometimes (and also, strangely, the box, which I quite liked). Really nice piece. Andreas
This is such a great watch!

This is a watch I sold some years ago. I always wore it under a suit and long sleeve shirt and none of my coworkers, friends or family (aside from my wife) ever knew I owned it. I flashed it when away from home though, especially when checking into hotels...

Hello, dear Abel.

What a real horological fest, the AP alone would make a great statement, but then you throw in Vintage Rolexes, a Journe, a Speedy, and others... Got my attention, Dear Sire!!! πππ
Excellent choices Abel π€....
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 22nd, 2020-08:43
I would love to see the Rolex AD when you arrive with your beautiful Submariner on ! Your FPJ is certainly a watch that impresses me π₯ Have a great weekend my dear friend.
A spectacular assemblage, Abel
By: th.gr.ga : August 23rd, 2020-22:01
the dial of that Speedmaster 861 looks absolutely fantastic. Which year is it? I have one from 1970 where the bezel has faded to a ghost grey
Hello Count, thank you for the interesting theme this week

Wearing a Habring is a very snart way to say "I am a collector". That pilot ... IWC or Laco?
Aaah ... Stowa!π [nt]
By: COUNT DE MONET : August 22nd, 2020-09:04
Never looked into the movement. Looks like a small second movement, that has been altered into a central second? Or: the construction is to make a smooth movement of the central second hand possible?
Hi Count, sorry for the late reply
By: Brandon Skinner : August 24th, 2020-15:10
Stowa used a UNITAS 2812. I tried digging around trying to answer your question and couldnβt find any real information. Given itβs size I would guess its your first guess but itβs hard to say and I am certainly not a watchmaker who can easily identify mod...
Thanks Count!

To me anyone wearing a GS is a collector

I can't Imagine anyone owning it solely, albeit it is all you need! Thank you for the picture of VH and TJ: a happy moment.
