... and have you hosting this first edition of 2021. I’m starting with this watch which always brings me a big smile to my face when wearing it or just viewing it. The Tin Tin is a very special variant of Speedmaster with a joyful spirit. I mean... it is ...
Welcome to WristScan Abel. Fabulous to see the Tintin, one of my favourite Speedmasters of all time. I love the photos that you have posted to show this watch and all it stands for, a true legend amongst Speedmasters. Best regards The Captain
Happy New Year to you. I share your love for these two beautiful watches. Good to see them being enjoyed and not just languishing in the Bank. Best regards The Captain
Combining an old historic Rolex GMT 6542 with a more modern sport watch from Patek the 5960 creates a balance. Looking forward to better things in 2021. Patek 5960 Rolex 6542 bakelite. ...
Hello dear friends, It’s certainly started out crisp and cold this year. I was planning to post shots of the Nautilus but as temperatures have plunged I’ve switched to a more appropriate watch ;-)) ... Yes, that is Ice on the water ... Ice crystals !... G...
My new Seiko Presage And my choice for this weekend will be a great collaboration between louis erard and the great and famous genius Vianney Halter Wish you all a great weekend. ...
Your Halter/Erard collaboration is a very handsome and interesting timepiece indeed. I wish you´ll enjoy them so much and that the 2021 will bring you and your beloved ones much Peace and Good Health! Hagwe! Abel

... me a couple of days ago telling that mine has arrived but regrettably I had to postpone its pick up till next Friday 15th! Can´t wait till having it on my own wrist and in the meantime I will keep admiring it on your nice wrist shot! Hagwe! Abel
Now I need to wait a few more days to get my EW which was delayed by Customs during the last weeks of 2021 and it is now waiting for me at the Boutique. Hagwe! Abel
A healthy, happy, successful and prosperous 2021 to everyone. Here a handful of watches to start with: The watch that brought me to WPS and four 2020 additions 😊 The first 2021 one to join the fleet hopefully next week 🤞🏻 ...
... watch which is some kind of a signature timepiece of you. Always a delight to view and with a strong connection with WPS. And you share four superb additions of 2020: I am specially excited with your Russian watch and its stunning dial and handset. Ju...
The dial is a blue as the mediterranean, the Tropic strap as blue the sky and the orange indices are the sun. Combine this with your first day at the beach at a Greek island, a mojito nearby next to your diving mask and the waves crushing on the pebble be...
I wish I will be able to enjoy more when my retirement arrives may be next year. Hope Pandemia will be completely defeated by then. Keep enjoying that beautiful place so much! Cheers! Abel
We had an amazing time but it was a bit sad to see the golf club almost empty and most of the villas empty as well. At least I got a chance to practice and play golf freely for a week which was great so no complaints from me 😉. I brought a few watches wit...
... be able to return to a more normal way soon. You share some fabulous watches to make company on your wrist during these first days of 2021. All beautiful but if you ask me... the AP RO Open Work double balance is a dream! One of my Grail Watches!! Kee...
As for the watches, we all love watches but without people to share them with, it means so much less 😢. Hopefully we will pass these terrible times and restart our lives again so we can share our lives, passions, travels, adventures, etc...with our family...
... pandemia very soon and end with these terrible times. The Open Work... a delicious dream for the moment. Who knows ... may be some day it can come true! Keep enjoying your superb watches and stay safe! Best, Abel
We took a walk this afternoon down to the sea near by. It was cold and humid but not a gist of wind so everything was completely still and very calming. One of those moments you just take it all in... Happy new year! ...
I may need a bit of advice. I was raised on Scotch and the common Bourbons here are Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Makers Mark. If I was to buy 3-4 bottles of solid quality Bourbon, where should I begin. I’m not talking about the esoteric stuff or thousand dolla...
. . . a doctoral dissertation. Bourbon? All I know is what . . . . . . Fast Eddie favored. However: I happen to know someone who's directly related to an undisputed expert on the matter, as Sherlock was to Mycroft. Perhaps he'll pop by with some friendly ...
..that one turned out a bit pricy Eagle Rare was more what I was looking for at this point so Ive ordered one of those. The "Pappy" is that the stuff Art always goes on about? Thanks, pplater. I apreciate it! Cheers, Christian
The above two diluted to 50% abv are top! No: spectacular! Very solid is also Wild Turkey Rare Breed. Woodford Reserve double oaked, if you want to taste a really different, spicy bourbon, that has been finished in a second charred barrel.
Well noted your worship One Blanton´s and one Wild Turkey have been ordered. Cant wait for a night of Americana. Thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate it! Christian
. . . dare I mention there's a bar on Hollywood Boulevard that carries just about every bourbon imaginable? G-t-g in LA, after hours at Maggie's - what could be better?
For the first two years I couldnt really wear it as my wrist doesnt agree with NATOs. I do enjoy it a lot now. Especially on weekends. Its perfectly warm and casual
... good wishes for the New Year. I also wish things will get better and we can return to normal life and travels. It will be a great pleasure to meet you in person some day soon. With best cordial regards Abel
You leave me wondering "How does Art do it ?" but... you always do it!. Guess you are a serious cinema lover... with an incredible memory! I enjoyed it so much and love it!! Big thanks again my dear friend! I send you a big Hug! Abel
Hi All Started the year looking backwards - wearing my almost vintage Tradition Brainmatic, a rather funky n cool alarm from the 70s. The after market bracelet suits it well & it wears appropriately loosely. Also a montage from earlier - including sat in ...
That bracelet looks excellent with the vintage Tradition Brainmatic. Hopefully we can all enjoy the pub again at some point this year 🙏 Best regards The Captain
The picture is taken at very low ambient light and using the flash! You will notice that it does not look like a typical flash light picture that is plastered full with light, but it seems more as if the flash is somehow constrained. The trick is: I have ...
This week‘s theme had me thinking abiut how my passion with watches started. What better way to start the year than with what got you going in the first place? I usually point out to the start of my horological journey as the Parmigiani Toric. This was my...
The quality really only shows with age. Some of these designers pieces will look ridiculous after 20 years, others keep their dignity and look like testaments of their time.
I’m sure that the start of the new year has many of thinking about the past year and our hopes of a better future. Your Ikepod photos are excellent and perfect for our WristScan theme. Best regards The Captain
I try to take every year as it comes, and as such, 2020 was not a negative year, it was just a year. I tried to make the best out of it, as I will do with 21. I don‘t mean to be insensitive to the hard times many uf us needed to endure - it‘s just the way...
