WristScan

Thank you all for taking part in this challenge. I have really enjoyed it over the weekend and I think we have seen some amazing and unusual watches. I also would like to say a big “Thank You” to Cpt Scarlet for inviting me to be your Guest Host this week...  

The Winner of the Wrist Scan for the 'SAFE QUEEN' week is.....TIM JACKSON ! BIG CONGRATULATIONS TIM !! i loved the personal story behind it & equally what a wonderful watch it is - cushion case, wire lugs, rail minute track & incredibly beautiful dial - a...  

I also loved the personal aspect. Congratulations Tim 🥂

I really fell for this little watch as well. Perhaps it even makes sense that it lives as a Safe Queen with the occasional wearing. A big congratulations to Tim 👍😊

Thanks Mike! That was an extremely good day when I realized I’d given it to you to help look for a strap. The prospect of losing grandpa’s old watch was not a good feeling. Cheers, Tim

When I received this watch several years ago, I did a little research on the English 9K Gold hallmarks to determine when it was made. I never saw my grandfather wear this watch, and was curious as to the story of it. Alas, the story of its original acquis... 

appreciating great little things in life....i read somewhere recently that remained in my mind - ''little things in life takes the biggest space in our heart'' - your watch is one such ! congrats again... Best, mahesh.,

. . . from a thread long, long ago. Those who've been here for more than a few years will fondly remember Andrew Daley, who moderated the HoMe forum. He made a comment about 'wanting to take a torch' to Blomman's safe during a WS thread. "That's odd," tho...  

I won’t ask about the “Blow” part of it 😉

each time i read a story from you...i felt the same - you're a genius narrator !

. . . and American. Torches, both. ;-) ...  

. . . a thousand words,' then two pictures have to be priceless. ;-)

. . . this was coming. Led Zippo? ;-)

like blowtorches, like knives ...  

I thought he was the coolest-haha. Great scene 👍😆

. . . but not Andrew, sad to say. I hope he's well and enjoying life to the fullest.

Hi Nicolas! Thanks for the sweet comment! I miss Andrew too, and hope that he is doing well in Oz. Have a great day! Daos

Great story 😂 I also miss Andrew. I hope he is well. Best Christian

We have a great Community here. I do wish some of those who used to post would return. Many current members have no idea about some of these old school Legends.

And congratulations to Thegrailwatch, watchonthewrist and Mike H 🥂

And great Pick, my friend. Big congratulations to all three nominees. thegrailwatch, it was interesting because I actually once had a burning desire to own this watch. Watchonthewrist, I will never ever forget your picture and this watch of yours. It is s... 

... Safe Queens and their many meanings for each watch owner beyond the negative connotation usually given. It is always my big pleasure to participate here! All the best, Abel

You are a true gentleman, Sir. Warm regards Christian

🙏🏻🤗

Both the RR & Mike’s...impressive!

Very well done, Mike👏

I think it was quite easy for you to find the winner this round 😉. Congrats to all three mentioned in your wise verdict.

And dear MikeH a huge congrats and a well deserved win 👏🏼🥂🤗

But here’s the verdict on WotW. Third place for me goes to Mike’s GO Senator Chronometer. Second to Brauner’s De Bethune: And finally the WotW is Mike H’s grandfather’s pocket watch, which I found simply sublime 👌🏻 Thanks to everyone for a fantastic week!...  

All Great choices! Cogratulations for the nominations, Gentlemen. Mike; you will need to work out more so you can start wearing that GO again ;-) Brauner, Are you sure it is legal to own such an exceptional watch and not wear it? Mike H: Aaah, its you aga... 

I swear to behave lawfully in future.😎

And again a huge congrats for MikeH . Yet another well deserved win 🍾👍🏻

and thanks to ChristianDK for this WS challenge.

Im so happy you joined and you really deserved your win!

I didn't even think to consider the pocket watch safe ... perhaps another WristScan Mike ...  

Separate safe for Pocket watches. Don’t tell me you have a hundred of those too!?! ( I bet you do!!!) Next time, Mike! Congratulations on your win 😊
