WristScan 5/25/2017: Show us your favorite watch cases!

Here is one I love alot - especially after spending more time with
Couple that with the shape of the acrylic crystal makes for an interesting, "pill-shaped" case Regards, skyeriding ...
Love that super domed crystal. The dome looks as high as the case itself!
Thanks for sharing Best, Mike
Thanks! It is the unique metal composition that is used to make the case that gives it a very deep grey
color and heavy feel. Best, Mike
Interesting theme ...
Looking to my watches, I notice that I'm very boring in terms of watch cases. Some that I like. 1) JLC Extreme Lab 2 2) Omega Olympic Official Timekeeper WG 3) Omega Ploprof 4) Seiko Marinemaster (all cases should come with holes). 5) Omega Speedmaster Sp...
The case of the EL II is....

Love the lugs on that Olympic timer as well as the thin bezel that makes the dial pop!
Great choices Nilo, Best, Mike
Impressive entries and shots as usual Nilo !
The EL II is just WOW (and many others too )
Hard not to fall for the Vintage 94.....
With it's Art Deco case shape and ... High doom plexi! A more well known example from Girard-Perregaux would be the Vintage 1945: HAGWE Blomman ...
Love that Plexi shot! What an unique prespective
thanks for that photo...the art deco case is very attractive. Cheers, Mike
Somthing that I forgot to mention...and the JLC compressor case does it perfectly...
A highly functional case that can withstand the elements but makes not look like a "tool watch". Just out of curiosity are you laying down in a hammock for that photo? warmest, Mike
Great shot/case, but....
Is the case really a compressor case? Or just the crown? My memory is failing... Best Blomman
Bezels are really important for changing the case scenery.
Hi Mike, Thanks for the pieces are beautiful indeed.Ä° like Graham especially for its unordinary choice from my Watches would be this IWC Deep nice case and bezel in my case diameter for me the bezel is ceramic and is different with getting outer from...
Yes! Thank you. The bezel on that IWC does it perfectly.
A splash of color, functional, and distinctive...you cannot mistake that watch for anything else! Have a good weekend, Mike
Great theme, Mike...
two come to mind immediately: My GP Laureato Ratrapante Fourdroyante with this special Titanium case with octagonal rubber bezel, a modern and bold look: And the sensual curves of the GP Vintage 45 XXL case: HAGWE, CC ...
Oooohhh I forgot how curved that vintage case was. The profile photo is a killer
Thanks for the photos! Best,Mike

I could stare at your photo for hours...imagine what would happen if I actually owned that watch...nothing would get done in the office I know the theme is watchcases...which the DB has a very unqiue one but that dial!!! Best, Mike
Ouch ! The perfect watch for this theme and...
...for any theme actually ! And what a shot my friend ! Huge congrats ! Mike
Some of my watches whose cases come to mind

Here are my choices!
1) The Overseas chronograph that I'm wearing today! 2) The SBDX012 MM solid case: 3) JLC Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph: ...
Have always liked the Bezel on the VC overseas
the designer had an inspirational moment to translate the maltese cross element to the Bezel. Thanks for sharing, Mike
Another wonderful set of photos...
I have never seen a UN 160 out in the wild yet. But I love to see that case in the metal to see if I like the slightly oblong shape. HAGWE, Mike
A lot of wonderfulness!
You know I love the Emil Lange, but the "Pluto" AP is pretty cool!
"A bit of everything" LOL !
As if these just "things" ! re-LOL and ROFL even Wonderful selection Nico !
