Dear Captain, August has been a special month for me from a watch perspective because for the past 4-5 month prior to this I almost did not wear any of my watch having a strong case of horofatigue!
While I still wear my Apple Watch quite a bit for training and sleep tracking, thankfully in August I snapped out of it and started to wear my watches again. It also helped that I got a few new addition during this month and a few more on the way! As you can see I enjoyed but sports watch and dress watches this past month.

WristScan - Now Live !
Hello dear friends ! We are now live for WristScan and our theme is all about “August Vibes” and in particular the watches that you have enjoyed this month. Think of it as a retrospective ! Some watches just seem perfectly suited to different times of the...
August was a very warm & humid month here in the tropics
So fewer watches on straps, and it's on to watches on bracelets... And time spent cooling off in airconditioned cafes with a hojicha latte, reading books about horology. Dr Struthers' book is a very enjoyable read! Highly recommended. ...
Welcome dear NT …
I have a particular love for your Tudor and finding them in this condition isn’t easy these days. Give me a nice chronograph with an aluminium bezel any day ! How long have you had this one ?
Thank you! I've had it for 18 months...
... bought it from a Tudor fan, full set. He was such a fan that he named his son 'Tudor' !!
Great Tudor Big Block you share here dear NT! Not usual to see it with a Jubilee which adds a beautiful different looks to it.
I was lucky to find one in almost NOS condition early this year. A superb watch. I have ordered a copy of Dr. Struthers´s book but haven´t received it yet. Promises to be very interesting and you confirm that. Have a nice weekend! Best, Abel PS: my Big Bl...
Let’s get the weekend started ! …
Three very different watches to give a flavour if my choices during the last week of August… The ever faithful Seamaster, never out of place… Something under the radar and quite a conversation starter … No introduction needed ;-) … Show us what’s given yo...
Love all 3 Capn !
But the Dumoreau is really exciting . I recently got an email saying they are down to the last 8 pieces of the Salmon version you have and am thinking of biting - how has your experience with it been if I may ask ? I believe another blue dial version was ...
Hi Watchnut …
My experience with Dumoreau has been excellent and I would hesitate to recommend one. I have been considering adding the blue version…. I still like the salmon version 🤔
Thanks Capn
I’ll probably go for the Salmon . And look forward to seeing your upcoming blue version soon 😊
The main August characters were the Tissot Sideral and the Mc2 Saint Barth swimsuits.
Happy end of summer to everyone. ...
Hello aWtchslvr …
Good see you enjoying your Tissot in a wonderfully relaxed setting. Perfect colour pairing 👏👏👏 Is this a new watch for your collection ?
It certainly looks a perfect companion for beach life
May I ask where the idyllic beach shot was taken ? Thank you for joining us this weekend.
Lots of white shirts and ties
During August I have had the pleasure of many work days with white shirt - tie - suit This picture from the last day of August, yesterday and for ones not wearing a dress watch but a nice Dynamic PS I didn’t adjust date and weekday.. HAGWE Hans ...
Very cool Hans ! …
Your Omega Dynamic is a superb vintage piece and very stylish. I would love to own one ! Do you wear it often ?
Not often enough
Probably only second time in 2023… who said top many watches…! I also have this one I use a little more often The Dynamic sit so nicely on the wrist Best Hans ...
Two lovely Dynamic watches Hans! I specially like them fitted with these "Oyster" style steel bracelets as most often they are fund with leather or isofrane straps. These bracelets look wonderful.
Keep enjoying and loving them so much Hans! Hagwe, Abel

Thank you for your kind words. Firstly, congratulations on receiving your Ultra Deep, a tremendous watch. The light catching the dial of the Aquanaut is a particularly impressive wrist shot and I love the straps on your Tudor. I hope you and your family h...
Hello dear Captain! My pleasure to comment your shots. Thank you for your greetings on my UD. Agree it is a tremendous watch.
I´m glad you liked my Aquanaut shot and Tudor straps. They are very comfortable and a nice variant to have to the original ones which are very nice too. Thank you for your weekend good wishes. Same to you my dear friend. Best cordial regards, Abel
These are the watches that had the most wrist time the last few weeks
Thanks for hosting this weeks Wrist Scan dear Captain. 🤗 ...
Hello Watchonthewrists …
Fabulous choices for August and I absolutely live the textures on the dial and hands of your CVDK. Have you had this one for long ?
Dear Cpt, these 2 during August
Weather was too warm...chilling indoor was the better option....😁 ...
Cool choices S F …
The Tudor “bronze” is a personal favourite and your AS is a cool looking watch., good strap choice ! Best regards Captain
August was mainly devoted to vintage . . .
. . . on my wrist. The Ultra Deep, too, . . . . . . but this photo was taken in July. A new pool cue entered my collection last month as well . . . . . . made with a redheart forearm and butt with a Honduran rosewood burl handle, and fitted with Pernambuc...
Hi Art …
Looks like you enjoyed a vintage August ! Great selection of watches and your Ultra Deep looks very good. As for your new pool cue, is awesome 😎 Best regards Captain
Still need a snooker cue, though! . . .
. . . the US Snooker Championship is on right now . . . . . . and I just may go to watch in person. Not the same level of play as the Crucible, needless to say ;-) . . .
You had an vintage devoted August dear Art!
Only your new Ultra Deep was the exception. It deserved some wrist time of course! Congrats on your new cue. It’s fantastic how the maker combines different woods for an awesome overall look. As I’m not familiar with pool and snooker I was surprised to le...
Visited a friend yesterday, staying home today during the day . . .
. . . so I'll miss viewing the tournament in person, but watching snippets here and there. Might be meeting up with a former colleague tonight, and shooting pool with my pals tomorrow on our observed Labor Day holiday. Hope your weekend is as pleasant, Ab...
Ahh! Thank you for telling my dear Art. Looks like a pleasant Saturday with a good friend, even if you couldn´t view the Tournament in person. And a nice Sunday too.
Happy Labor Day tomorrow. I wish you´ll enjoy it so much. It was a relaxed weekend for me, staying at home as the Winter weather has been cold and rainy and inviting to be inside. A big Hug for you my dear friend. Best, Abel
Superb shot in the sunshine …
Hello Forza, thank you for joining us with your Ming. It’s a watch we don’t see often on WristScan and yours looks very nice. Best regards Captain
Plastic!

Plastic Fantastic ! …
Nice theme for your choice of watches being shown this weekend JML. The EMAS diver has a cult following as a summer watch especially in Italy for some reason. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Best regards Captain
August was pretty casual !
Hello Capn , it’s that time of the year …. When one doesn’t feel like strapping on anything too formal or serious ! Hence it was a couple of Meca Quartz , and a couple of other casual watches for me , even at work ! 🙂 First the Mecas … Followed by the cas...
Welcome Watchnut …
Good to have you with us this weekend ! Your choices make good sense for the summer and shows that fun isn’t relative to the luxury brands. The Mecas you have look good and I especially like the first one on your photo. Best regards Captain
Thanks Capn !
Yes , I do like the bronze on green effect of the Tecnotempo meca as well !
Here are some of mine…
August was the month of the move. Now we’re far away from being sorted but at least slowly I am getting access to more of my watches. So here’s a couple: ...
Hello dear KM ….
Good to hear you are able to enjoy more of your watches. I really like the static shot of Mickey ! Best regards Captain

I submit my RADO. It is a DiaStar DiaMaster Diver. What makes it a good choice? Waterproof - As it’s a Diver with a screw-down crown. Rugged - Because it is a Quartz movement. Accurate - Again, a Quartz movement. Scratchproof - It’s made of Tungsten Carbi...
