WristScan

Dear friends, Our hobby and passion doesn't have to break the bank, if you want to own a beautiful and well made watch. In order to prove, this weekend's round is all about desirable, beautiful watches for under 10.000. I am sure we will see some great vi...  

Hello dear Moritz, This certainly an interesting challenge for us…..Hasta la vista !

An old Omega Seamaster 200 professional. Quartz calibre used to be a thermocompensated movement I believe, but it was stolen while my late-father tried to get the battery changed. Now, Omega could only replace it with a non-thermocompensated movement, whi...  

I am also not sure wether this is a Genta design, but it is certainly close to it. Nicely worn Omega here!

and a very personal watch.

My Tank Normale, simple in every way. ...  

You did very well and got yourself a golden Tank even. It has got a very nice size, too. Well played, dear mikephuvie.

and for such a long time not re-released. GEO

and a nice wrist shot.

All torn up. ...  

The fact that it looks so different from the well-known World Timers, and is so easy to read, attracted me a lot. GEO ...  

Unbelieveable that this was under 10 k. Lookibg back, I start to regret not having bought one 😀! A very smart catch, dear GEO.

but the reading of the high-end version is completely different. GEO

The design really works well.

Of the watches in my collection I’d say I’m crushing on this one the hardest as the most beautiful. Thanks and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! Brandon ...  

Amazing how much craftmenship one can get under 10 k. Fascinating colours and pattern pn the dial, dear Brandon.

I love the dial in this one.

... which makes us smile every time we strap it to our wrists. You share a superb Omega to open the thread. I will return later with a picture or pictures to answer your challenge! Have a nice weekend hosting my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

Happy to hear, you like the theme. Yes, we don"t have to spend big money in order to own a fascinating watch, and it is good that the manufacturers can cover such a broad offering, for anyone. Lookkng forward to seeing your entries soon.

I will return later with my shots! Cheers! Abel

. . . this was coming. ...  

That Japan version, it takes the 1894 to a higher level. It is a watch, I would love to own too and additionally to mine! I still looks and feels way more expensive than it was.

. . . highlighted by rose gold to make me weak in the knees. 😌 ...  

Have a nice and relaxed weekend dear friend! Cheers. Abel

Superb Omega that has so far eluded me.

. . . with rather more background . . . . . . for your viewing pleasure, Cap. ...  

Superb shot of this Omega beauty dear Art! Hagwe!! Abel

...  

… At knees and ankles!! Lol!!

. . . Bond. That crazy bitch made him weak in the knees. ...  

What's the case size?looks comfortable on your wrist.

ref. 7002... had a very reasonable MSRP and still can found for well under $10k ...  

Is it in gold or steel?

Lots of fabulous watches if you go vintage, that definitely won't break the bank. Strangely enough, you could also say go for a matic, as all of these have matic in the name. Cheers JML ...  

Indeed, vintage Land is wonder land if you are after great watches under 10 k, dwar JML. That JLC Future Matic is simply 👍

Only challenge sometimes is getting things serviced. Cheers JML

With care you can find a lot of pleasure in the vintage world under 10k

Great theme Here one of my favourite BR and hager Hans ...  

These are two good examples of pilots, that over very good value for money. Well played.

Good choices Hans.

Milky smooth skin in spartan body . ...  

But I do see also: the watch is a bit shy! 😃 Nice one, dear Gelato Monster.

Love it

Glad to share the same feeling.

Thats a powerful look.

👌👌. You make us remember how fun and exciting is this passion of ours. Rare thing in todays manipulated market

HAGWE! ...  

A very masculine but also elegant Cartier Tank here. Yes, great pleasure does not have to cost too much for us. 😃

Cartier style shows the way in this case.

...after all,beauty is in the eye of the beholder,regardless of costs Have a few under your criteria, but this strikes me most.....now simple and elegant HAGWE ...  

So easy to enjoy.

Easily to be found for half of the budget, rest can be spend on straps. Have a good weekend. ...  

I love your choice of strap. Good to have you joining us.

Have a great weekend.

A great theme for this WristScan! In terms of values and joys for money, perhaps no brand beats Seiko. Here is a pair of them for about a total of $1K. One is a collaboration with Rowing Blazers, a clothing brand. The other is a collaboration with PADI, a...  

Seiko is hard to beat in this category. Even special editions are very reasobable priced. You have got two great, fun summer watches, dear Sfwatchlover!

I could not agree more. I just went swimming this afternoon with the Seiko PADI edition. Take care!

The vibrant colours of both are tremendously appealing

I am so happy to hear that )

It’s the first time I’ve seen the Rowing Blazers collaboration piece.

There are 3 designs in this collaboration actually. My version is still available from time to time, while the other versions sold out long ago. There is a skeleton drawing on the case-back too. Take care! ...  

Very interesting, I obviously missed this collaboration.

First the vintage chronographs! A Breitling Top Time 810. I love the reverse panda dial! A pair of jumbo 38mm RG dress chronographs - a Longines 30CH and a UG with sexy faceted lugs. Square pushers and a sprinkle of patina add to the charm. And then a Zen...  

Phenomenal line up. It sounds a bit tacky but I love them all 😃👍! Maybe the Btreitling most? 🤔😃

By the way, do you plan to get the new Kurono calendar watch? What is your take?

The size, dial and overall look speaks to me, so yes I think I'll be trying to get one (whether I'm successful is really up to speed and luck though!)

Good luck to you! I am still trying to decide if I should try to get it.

Breitling Top Time 810 Is a cool vintage choice and the Grand Seiko Shunbun is certainly a beautiful watch. I love all your choices. Best regards Captain

Will show you my latest and fun edition ...  

I think I saw it before from you? Will need to read about it soon. How is it telling time?

Time is indicated with to moving rings on top of each other

Good to see your latest addition. Best regards Captain
