Great fun afternoon/evening
An honor and a pleasure to have three mods in the house. Andrew, great to break bread, rather drink beer with you, a splendid effort all the way from down under!
Art, I was very happy to know we have your fav. ale available locally on tap. Bodes well for a future visit 
Mike, thanks for chauffeuring us around in the "L" gotta love that legroom in the back and the smooth ride. Looking forward to a road trip in that beauty...
Cheers,
Tim

That was a dangerous shot
Looks great Art, but it took 2 hours of driving, 160Km, a sprint across the road, a scramble across the rocks and a precarious balancing act, all before the sunset. But you did it! Thanks to Tim, Mike and Art for a great evening. Andrew
Now I understund...
all the hiccups I had last night :) Great to see friends sharing good times Sincerely Damjan
Yes! :)
Did you know that in the north part of Sweden - a few weeks in the summer the sun almost never sets! :) But, on the other hand in the winter it never raises... Always two sides on a coin..! Best Blomman
. . . just after 4 in afternoon? . . .
. . . must be in the Shetlands today ;-) . . .
. . . actually, more like sunset . . .
. . . in the Falklands . . . 4:49 PM Sunset in Stanley, Falkland Islands . . . than the Shetlands . . .
That is my favourite from those you posted on the Rolex forum.
The light and the focus are so good! Best, Nicolas
How Many PuristS does it take to do a Wrist Scan?
Four to check sunset time on their mobiles One to order and pour the beer Two to photograph him doing it Four to admonish the waitress "Don't give up our table" and run across the road Three to position watches for a static shot One to photograph them doi...
LOL! :)
Looks like you are having a great time! :) All the best to all of you, hope to join you one day. Best Blomman
A pleasure to pour the ale, Mike . . .
. . . and doubly so to polish it off ;-) . . .

Really great to visit your place. Great hospitality, even better watches and a lot of fun. Definitely worth braving the LA traffic. I have a few photos to post up when I get home. Thanks again. Andrew
Apparently a lot of you guys!
Why you guys are having all the fun? Oh I see is for the good of WristScan. Cheers
Times of transition.. Can be mysterious as well.. Here just some little chips..
.. as I had to stretch the motto a bit : Only can I hope, that it's still somewhat ok that way . - my shot for dawn, is still half-darkness, with a tiny little ray of early sunshine which gave some faint highlights to spots of reflection.. Dawn or Dusk..T...
Love the match with the browns and blues . . .
. . . between the mask and the Breguet, h . . . beautifully rendered!
Thanks for your nice words.. And also for the kind looking !.. Yes,..

I love this theme!...

Vintage Benrus? . . .
. . . wow, there's watches popping up out of the woodwork this week! Can't recall either Fernando's Omega or your vintage military . . . must be getting old!
Oooo noooo doctor Noooo !
Just one of the common pieces ... august 1969 ... but a cool tool watch ... Bim
That's the spirit!! . . .
. . . good to be a participant in the thread, even if following the theme isn't possible . . .
Yes I like the retro look too..
and a perfect size for me at 40mm. Glad you approve. :)
Wow, Fernando !.. Love the color accents grey vs orange + alarm.. Very nice arrival !
.. wear her in the best of your health ! Shape & case pinpoint to the 70ies (?).. Best, hs
Thanks hs.
Yes I believe it's early 70s. I like the looks of it and the alarm is a bonus. Best & HAGWE! fernando
Vintage Omega? Bravo, Fernando! . .
. . . didn't realize there was one in your collection. Slipped my mind if it's been posted before . . .
Never posted Art..
but wondering whether I should have it fixed up first. It certainly feels and looks like an old watch but there is the charm. :) Thanks fernando

No, the thick Polaris is not for shirt cuffs...

Day and Night
well, not exactly an early riser to see dawn in the summer, so my humble interpretation of this week's theme, with my Richeville Day and Night indicator. HAGWE, CC ...
Bond Street? . . .
. . . the perfect location for a GP, sharing namesakes with a prominent fictional character . . .
Winter times ...
Not a gorgeous sunrise but here we have: ( IWC Flieger Chronograph "Le Petit Prince" 3777-06 ) Cheers, Nilo ...
What a case!
The sharp lines of the case and lugs caught my eye first in this shot, then the light illuminating the different levels and surfaces of hands, markers, dial, date. The crystal is invisible. I love it. Cazalea
Tokyo has lots of green, more than you may think :-)
.. here is my best dawn wrist shot :-))))) HAGWE! Ken ...
Oops! :-)
... didn't adjust the time..... Duh! Took from the terrace of my apt in the morning.... Hahaha. Forgive me :-) Ken
Perils of WristScan
Fingerprints and dust are common errors. Forgetting to set the date is most aggravating and frequent. I\'ve even put the watch on my wrist upside down before, but haven\'t ever forgotten to set the time. I\'m waiting to drop my watch on concrete, as Graha...
Remember this thread from last month, Mike? . . .
. . . that's the original strap on the GS. I failed to secure the pin when strapping it back on, so it took a back flip onto the hard table and fell on the carpeting. That's why it went by the wayside a week a later for a more pliable replacement. Art
Enjoyed wearing mine a few days ago, Juan . . .
. . . nothing quite like an Omega chronomètre, no? . . .
Sunset in Germany with vintage Conny
Hi Art, as I am no "early bird" I went out on our terrace just now and took a picture of my freshly refurbished ("just back from the spa" as hs111 called it) Conny which largely benefitted from its journey back to Biel from where it once left in the 1960´...
Connies hold a special place in my affections . . .
. . . and none more than these arrowhead marker ref 2852s from the mid '50s thru early '60s. Thanks very much for sharing your latest addition, anaesdoc. Most cordially, Art
Actually it is from 1958, Art
Thanks for your kind words! Of course I have noticed your Conny affection, as you post some pics from time to time of this gorgeous black one of yours. I looked up in the list and could pin the watch down to the year 1958. Quite a great condition for a 56...
