Beautiful Connie dear Art. The honeycomb black dial and the indexes add so much to the charm of this watch. Not to mention the deep connection with you tied to the dates of birth of you...

Here it is: WrstScan 03.06. - 05.06.2022 "Body and Soul"

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 3rd, 2022-16:57
Dear friends, thank you all for looking into the teasers to this round of WristScan and I must say, some nearly got the theme right! In this theme I am asking you beautiful people to show me your body watch and your soul watch. Body watch in the sense of ...  

Ahh! I finally get it now!

 
 By: patrick_y : June 3rd, 2022-17:04
Was wondering what the foot photo was in reference to!

This weekend...

 
 By: patrick_y : June 4th, 2022-21:58
For our Body and Soul theme... I give you the humble Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. I have been coveting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso ever since I was a teenager. Although the first watch I ever bought for myself after a year or two of working was a Patek Phil...  

One of my early memory of a haute horology watch is also a Reverso πŸ‘.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 5th, 2022-10:17
That is an interesting connection, we both have here. My Reverso was a rose gold Reverso, that I still don't own yet, for a reason I don't know πŸ€”. Thank you for playing and a good Subday to you, dear friend.

What can I say! Geniuses think alike!

 
 By: patrick_y : June 5th, 2022-18:56
Thank you and a good Sunday to you as well!

Fantastic choice!

 
 By: KMII : June 5th, 2022-14:57
And nice to hear it was the Reverso that took your soul πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Yes! I'm still very fond of the Revereso indeed!

 
 By: patrick_y : June 5th, 2022-18:58
And I really enjoy my first watch too - my Patek Philippe. But I could never get the Reverso out of my mind. One day I had the opportunity to acquire one and so I finally did.

When Ken posted an article about vintage Grand Seikos several years ago . . .

 
 By: Dr No : June 3rd, 2022-17:43
. . . one of the photos was of a 56GAC 25 064. I was so taken by that one image I had to have one. A year or so later, Ken handed me . . . . . . the GS I've been wearing since yesterday. I like the way it looks on my wrist, too. Art ...  

A philosophical entry, dear Art.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 3rd, 2022-19:20
A watch that is a soul and body watch at the same time. Very masculine and yet so delicate Seko here.

One of the most enticing vintage GS I am yet to get 😁

I see your body watch as my soul piece, this lovely Octo. Amd your MB&F would look spectular on my wrist too. Well played!

Another philosophical entry tonight ...

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 3rd, 2022-20:23
first entry is actually both, body and soul. Great looking shot of harmony. Another Patek representing soul, I like that! Have a great weekend too, dear Stoikos and thank you for your kind words.

You knew . . .

Ahhh ... a La Tradition

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 4th, 2022-08:03
I was also thinking to pick my La Tradition, but as a body watch, as it is quite a technical looking watch, hence masculine. But you are right: a La Tradition is a superb soul watch. Your 5116R has got good wrist presence, no doubt. Nice entries, dear ter... 

thanks hs111!

 
 By: terbaboom : June 4th, 2022-12:55

A Great elegant pair!

I am surprised that the Breguet doesn’t get more bodily attention / compliments 😊

thanks KMII!

i was in a shop once wearing my Breguet La Tradition and the salesperson commented that her colleague told her that my watch was very nice

Lovely body and soul combo to start this week's WS πŸ₯‚ My body watch - A Pam in the right size which to me is Luminor at 44mm or a Radiomir of 45-47mm. Soul Watch - Rolex GMTM, esp in something one could just pop by a store and pick one from a display. ...  

A PAM is the archetype of body watch πŸ’ͺ

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : June 4th, 2022-10:19
Very strong Luminor on your wridt there. Your lovely GMT Master is soul food to go 😍. Thank you for your top entries, dear S F πŸ₯ƒπŸ₯ƒ

Really, love your attractive PAM input, with its so attractive dial.. The GMT will merge in anywhere !

 
 By: hs111 : June 4th, 2022-12:22
HAGWE & Bravo !! PS: One Q be allowed: - Is this attractive dial pattern (on the PAM) a Honeycomb type or a reflection of a light effect ?

Dear hs, thks for the kind comments!

 
 By: S F : June 4th, 2022-12:48
This is carbon fibre dial on a PAM140. Pattern is clearer under lights

PAM & PAN!

Great body watches, dear HS, would to call them mine too. Outstanding specimen of a 6542, a dream soul watch for many of us here. Have a great weekend, dear HS.

Very happy for you that this perfect watch has found its way to you. Same birth year and manufacturing year and that with such a rare Omega is not coincidence but fate. Or in other words: a soul watch.

Rare black dial …
