WristScan

First, I would like to thank Ted for choosing this week's topic and also to all the participants...

Oct 25, 2020,16:27 PM
 

I wanted to wait til the last minute before posting my results just in case we had some last minute entries 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Judging was a lot more difficult than I had originally anticipated. There were so many great entries and I went back and forth, shuffling, until I came to a conclusion which could be reshuffled again if you asked me an hour from now, LOL.

So here goes:

4 honorable mentions. I know 4 is a lot but I could not eliminate these 4 so had to acknowledge them as well. In no specific order.



Abel's (Subexplorer) fantastic tan Simona strap with blue stitching which matches perfectly with his PAM87 Bomba





S F with the cool vintage ammo strap that matches beautifully with the aged bronze case of his Zenith Pilot watch





Brandon Skinner with the Leonidas and the awesome vintage sewn in strap that seems to fit like OEM. That watch is a TUNA can 🤣😂





Franksc7 and his vintage 48mm Breitling Chronomat on a vintage Bund strap. Just a BADASS watch on a BADASS strap that makes the dial pop. 👍





Now for my top 3:

3rd place: KMII and his Omega Railmaster on what seems to be a tweed strap. I have never seen a tweet strap and think it looks uber cool. Bonus points for the matching LS shirt 😉





2nd place: Speedie 74 aka Mr. Torquise with his cool Habring and faded blue crocodile strap. I love the color and tone of this strap and how it makes the blue dial pop even more. Don't know if it is a nubuck crocodile as I would like to get something similar for one of my watches as well 🤔 😉





And the winner is: Watchonthewrist with his SAF Vetehinen and that uber cool green strap. I have no idea what material it is but it has amazing contrast with the bezel, dial, and PVD case. Bonus as well for the matching sweater which pushed this wristshot to the top 👏👍🙏







Congratulations to all the participants and especially the winners. It was a lot of fun to judge but not as easy as it looked 😂🤣

You are always welcome Sire Brandon...

 
 By: K-Lo : October 25th, 2020-11:24
Your style, dare I say, is likely "unmatched" in many categories.

Congrats dear Brandon . Your strap combo on your PSM is spectacular imo 👌🏻😘 [nt]

Def your piece “stuck” with me and continues to stick with me, I am so so happy to see people break from the norm, in this case, I have “never” seen anything like your bezel and strap combination... Super sublime....

Managed through the eyes of masters. Well done to the judges and all generous participants. [nt]

After much contemplation over how various criteria should be emphasized and before I go totally nuts (due to so many excellent entries!) I have finally decided on placings and honorable

 
 By: InDebtButOnTime : October 25th, 2020-13:25
mentions... then I wadded up those conclusions and did some shuffling.... at least three times! Honestly with a strong passion for horology and photography this is fun but not easy. I try to consider the host's theme, photographic creativity, risk factors...  

Congrats to the winners and InDebtButOnTime for judging! [nt]

Great entries from everyone! Congrats to Abel and Brandon!

Brandon's Leonidas is on another level, I thought of that one a lot also

 
 By: K-Lo : October 26th, 2020-09:37
The strap seems to combine with the buckle..... uber cool

I appreciate it so much! Seems to me that my Habring with the blue strap is a true beloved pair here - yesterday I wore it... The strap is a crocodile, aged jeans-look, but real croco from Visconti Milano! If you would like to get a direct contact with th... 

My pleasure Adam. Thanks for the info on the strap. Will look into Visconti Milano as I have never purchased a strap from them. Will look at ABP to see if they have something similar...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : October 26th, 2020-08:12
as they already have my specs and could simply make me a bespoke strap once I select the hide. If not, then I will go with Visconti 😉👍 And yes, your Habring combo with the VM strap was a huge hit 👏🔥

Wow thank you so much dear Holdemchamp1225🤗

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : October 26th, 2020-02:36
This watch is definitely different but thats also the slogan from Stepan Sarpaneva #Notforeveryone . The bezel is made from Bronze and engraved with a design from Mo Coppoletta. The strap is a Python strap and is so cool imo. I love these kind of watches ... 

I've seen you post this watch prior in another post but combined with this green strap just brings it to another level of BADASS...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : October 26th, 2020-08:17
what is that strap made of? Uber cool texture which I am guessing is some sort of fish or reptile due to the scaling 🤔 The bronze bezel with the engraving along with the subtle green dial and cool PVD case is already a winner. Combine that with this uniqu... 

Its a python strap according to SUF

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : October 26th, 2020-13:56
Thanks again for your kind words

I kind of thought it was a reptile skin. Thanks for the confirmation 😉👍 [nt]

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : October 26th, 2020-13:58

This is a super cool watch, I am thinking of it even more now, congrats... [nt]

 
 By: K-Lo : October 26th, 2020-09:38

Thanks a lot for the mention 👍🏻

 
 By: KMII : October 27th, 2020-09:04
And it is indeed a tweed strap. Have three or four of them in the meantime and they are great fun 😊👍🏻

My pleasure. It sure is different and looks very cool and fun.😉👍 [nt]

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : October 27th, 2020-09:14

Hello Holdemchamp! Great job judging! I know it was not an easy task to judge any of the three categories considering the quality and quantity of submissions this week end.

 
 By: Subexplorer : October 27th, 2020-15:09
We viewed some awesome straps and bracelets with their fantastic watches. Big congrats to all winners and special mentions and I thank you so much for including my Panerai 87 shot among the mentions. Have a nice week ahead! Best! Abel

Many thanks Abel. It was a pleasure to judge all the entries and definitely touch to choose between them. Have a great week my friend 👍 [nt]
