Favorite Sports Teams is our theme this week on Wrist Scan. Let's share the teams we root for . . .
. . . win or lose.
The first team that won young No's affection was the Los Angeles Dodgers, the only club that shut out the Yankees . . .
. . . in the World Series. I've been to at least two hundred games at Dodger Stadium over the years, including two playoff games, and saw a MLB record tied (Manny Mota for pinch hits) and a near perfect game (Bob Welch vs Atlanta, May 29 1980).
They had their heartbreak seasons, like 1978 . . .
. . . and heroic ten years later.
Then they fell into a decades-long slump. The '90s and '00s were years of despair, interrupted by moments of joy but always ending in disappointment. The road to recovery began ten years ago, and today they're again at the top of their game. As of this moment they're in a playoff series with San Diego, which yours truly is following with rapt attention.

The team closest to my heart, though . . .
. . . is the Raiders. One of the best days of my life is the day they announced they were moving to LA. And one of the worst was when they left. But even though they've been in decline for almost four decades, the Raiders are the one team I follow and sup...
Hello dear Art and friends!! That vintage Omega SM looks so cool…

Interesting stories and very nice selection of watches …
Hello dear Abel, The Omega De Ville Chronoscope Rattrapante is an unusual Omega and you were lucky to get this one from a friend. I always admired the JLC US Navy Seals watch, it’s definitely a cool watch. Superb photos ! Best regards Captain
Thanks a lot dear Captain!! I’m happy to know you liked my stories and …
… watches. Yes, I’m very fortunate to have a great friend and was greatly surprised with his generosity of gifting me this watch from his own collection. It’s a very little known or seen watch. Not easy reading the sub dials but interesting rattrapante co...
I'll be watching the LA Dodgers tonight play their rivals . . .
. . . from San Diego in a play-off game they must win or face elimination, wearing . . . . . . a vintage Omega. Your DeVille rattrapante is a highlight of the 2009 collection . . . . . . that was available in several dial configurations. They had a brushe...
Interesting plan for your Saturday dear Art!! And a very cool combo to wear on the wrist for additional pleasure.
Interesting to know facts you give me about the Chronoscope De Ville. I have seen here the black and the grey dial version. Guess the brown one must be super nice. All that came here were equipped with a black alligator straps with deployant like mine. Th...
Team McLaren …
Hello dear Art and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. McLaren opened up the perfect opportunity for James Hunt and the team in 1976 when a deal was finalised to partner Jochen Mass for the 1976 season. James and McLaren made a formidable p...
Interesting reading dear Captain!! It was exciting to remember…
… these important times in the F1 history. A great watch choice to pay tribute to Mc Laren and Hunt!! Hagwe! Abel
When it comes to motor racing, my favorite team . . .
. . . is Penske due to Roger's partnership with . . . . . . Mark Donohue, still my idol nearly half a century after his death. Art ...
Thank you so much for sharing your sport passion Hans!
Loved the inscription on your golf ball!! Lol! And a great choice to play that classic vintage Omega. Not being familiar with playing golf (just an observer) I wonder if playing with a watch could be harmful for the movement considering the G forces I pre...
I normally tend not to wear a watch at all
When playing. This day was a little different BR Hans
Haha ! …
Hello Hans, I love the golf ball and your vintage Omega. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Best regards Captain

Dear Art, there are 3 sports teams which I support...
Liverpool FC - Soccer Dallas Cowboys - Football Boston Celtics - Basketball There was more time to follow and watch the teams during my school days but much less when I started working and even lesser after having a family. Now I do check in the progress ...
Great watches to cheer your favorite teams dear friend S F!
I didn’t remember that you owned a Pam 87 . I own one too. It has an awesome blue dial which makes a nice contrast with its tritum lume on indexes and hands. Keep enjoying your favorite sports and watches my friend. Hagwe! Abel
Thks Abel! I do have an 87 which I need to dust it out and strap on!
Yes, the tritium has patina well which will go well with a slightly distressed strap. Have a great Sunday my friend!
The most storied rivalry in all professional sports would be the Celtics . . .
. . . and Lakers, especially in the '80s. Thanks for sharing!
A.I.K.
Only one team in my heart and that is the one I grown up with. Watched many great matches live and so are some of the memories. Like from this derby even if its just ended in a draw. www.youtube.com Also this freekick even if there are many better...
Thank you for joining Tegis and for sharing your favorite team and…
… watch. Of course we can always enjoy other pleasures beyond watches and sports! Cheers! Hagwe. Abel
I've been to just one soccer match, Sweden vs Cameroon during . . .
. . . World Cup '94. I think that game ended in a tie. The infamous play from that WC was Columbia's own goal . . . . . . that turned out to be the last mistake the goalie ever made.
Welcome to WS Alex!! Guess we are viewing a future…
… F1 Champion here!! Karting is a beautiful sport. A great watch you share as well! Keep enjoying! Hagwe Abel
Grab and go…
Okay let’s try this again. Also a Pats fan, but if I had a nickel for every time I heard my Grandfather say “God damned Red Sox” I’d be retired. ...
At least they got a heck of a lot closer than the Red Sox…
…but when expectations are low the losses hurt less 🤨
