WristScan

Hello friends! I have the pleasure to be your host for this edition starting today Friday 22nd and ending on afternoon of Sunday 24th. The Theme is "Four Watches - Four Seasons". The challenge is to share with us four watches of your collections which you...  

let’s play Vivaldi’s Four Season: 1.) Summer Easy choice, something easy to wear: 2.) Autumn Love the watch, love the mood of the season: 3.) Winter Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow: 4.) Spring From my favourite german Brand: Who needs more for the 4...  

The Hublot is a perfect companion for Summer.

All of them wonderful... I´m specially fond of your Autumn choice: the Reverso... the dial texture and the date moon phase complication add to the warmth and charm of this fine timepiece. Thank you so much for answering our challenge this weekend! Hagwe! ... 

that Moser? Really beautiful! 👍

It is the legendary Venturer Big Date with a 10-days handwound movement!

… and brown ceramic bezel insert. I automatically associate the color of its case, dial and bezel with the colors of earth, leaves and tree bark during the Fall Season. Yes, I know it’s a subjective feeling, but this was the idea of the theme of this week...  

Wonderful combination on your wrist.

I shall return ! ...

Dear Abel! The colours of the watch reminds me the colours of the fallin leaves from the trees… The watch has so much power and presence on your wrist! Wear it in the best of your health! Truly yours, Adam

Glad to know you like it and appreciate your good wishes so much. Hagwe! Abel

😉😉

Autumn piece=D my least worn piece. It was made to resemble an autumn moon (i think). If i could turn back time I would have bought a different piece. Spring piece..the bracelet doesn’t like summer so much, as it has no microadjustors. Very comfy though i...  

... which I find beautiful but I guess that I can understand you because it has happened to me that I have fell in love with a watch and bought it but then my connection with it was broken very fast. The love was not there anymore. Is that the reason whic... 

Which watch would you have chosen instead of your GS ?

A FF 45mm for 5k more, or Breguet type XXI LE for 6k more . Those options would make me smile so hard. Silly me.

I seldom take pics of watches at ADs…must mean quite a lot to have retained these pics in my phone. The Breguet Type XXI LE in orange or green slipped past. My AD called me if I wanted it, but I passed…(oh my I am the silliest person to do so) Panerai pic...  

We all think about the ones that we pass on 😉

Winter - Voutilainen GMT-6 Dark tones for the long winter nights Spring - Vacheron Cornes de Vache Lighter tones for the season Summer - Moser Streamliner Centre Seconds To catch the rays! Fall - Journe Chronometre Souverain Havana The tones of autumn lea...  

Not easy to choose just one Season among them: the Voutilainen makes me feel those long Winter nights. No need to tell you about my love for the CDV Vacheron which I also own. Lovely Spring watch. Stunning Moser dial catching Summer rays! And the FP Journ... 

The CDV is quite the “strap monster”! I particularly like the way that Vacheron take a notch out of the leather on one side of the spring bar end which makes it easier to get the spring bar tool into place. As well as the original Serapian strap that came...  

... the notch you mention in my straps. Do you have a picture of this interesting feature? Love the green straps you fitted to this watch. They make a stunning combo! Guess I will need to explore other straps options myself. Keep enjoying it so much Timeo... 

Here’s a photo of the grey Vacheron strap showing the notch. The Serapian strap does not have this feature, but all of the Vacheron straps - either calfskin or alligator backed - do. ...  

… to send me the picture and clarification. It surely is a very practical detail. Best cordial regards Abel

Looking good 👍

Can’t go wrong with this dial. Thinking of getting a burgundy one also

Chapeau !!

Good to see your selection for this week too. JLC doesn’t always get the attention it deserves - your choices are spectacular- and the Habring is a real beauty!

Beautiful choices !

… I find the texture and color of this watch fascinating. Seiko has a knack for making stunning dials. This one makes me feel they magically put some snow there. What a better representation of Winter among the watches in my watch box? ...  

Have a good weekend! Spring Summer Fall Winter ...  

What a rare Blancpain!! Wow wow this blew me away.

I have it in 3 variations 😁 ...  

Love it. Could you make a post on it SF? It will be impactful for these are rarely seen pieces.

A short post sometime back: www.watchprosite.com

Stunning shot!! Cheers! Abel

Thank you so much for your entry! All of them wonderful timepieces connecting you with the seasons. Your Fall shot is fantastic. I have an special fondness for black inserts GMT. They have a classy looks! Stunning combo on your CK 859!! By the way: mine f... 

I have an special fondness for racing dials on Speedies. Vintage examples presently have price levels which put them in an unreachable shelf for me. This piece though not easy to catch is still affordable and very nice I feel. The bright touches of color ...  

Another one of your Speedy troops ! Cheers !!

Glad you like my Spring Speedy. Agree it’s a very joyful timepiece. Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel

It’s a long way to Biel 📣

Charming timepieces you are sharing this weekend. I feel it’s very interesting to view how we watch lovers feel each Season through our watches. Your cold shot on a hot day well epitomizes the answer to the challenge of the Theme this weekend. Great choic... 

In you wrist shot and the FIfty Fathoms is perfect for the summer. Well played !

Cheers !!

My personal connection of Summer with watches is made through a diver’s watch as most of my Summers vacations are spent near the sea and the whole season near a pool. Though I love to wear different dive watches in my collection my favorite is the Submari...  

My fav shot is your first with that nifty, yet cool mirror-like reflection ! Well done, as so many times, my friend ! Cheers & HAGWE to you & yours ! 😊😊

Hello dear Abel and friends ! Spring … For me Spring signals the start of the season for driving classic cars and enjoying the freedom of the road. The Nautilus Chronograph is my personal favourite for this season as the early morning sunshine dances acro...  

I can see a winning shot for this truly splendid photography + the whole mood of that pic is awesome ! ! Chapeau & Cheers, dear Capt‘n !!

For your kind message. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

... Season of the year which you are sharing with these stunning shots. Enjoy a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Best, Abel

I really enjoyed your theme, very thought provoking. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain

especially the Omega Speedmaster: I can feel the mood of Autumn, the colour of the fallin leaves matching perfectly to the Moonshine gold! And the Mercedes 300 SL! Is it also yours?? Adam

The Moonshine gives me a lot of pleasure. The 300 was until a couple of years ago. Best regards Captain

I’ve got a soft spot for Panerai. To me they can do no wrong (even though they did open a can of worms recently on Perezscope)=D

You can have a lot of fun and that’s what our sport should be about…. Pleasure and enjoyment ! ...  

A good simple time only piece.

😓 😥 😅 Summer: sun-baked dial/bezel and lume [ok, it’s all fake patina, but still works]. No date, bc who needs a reminder of when the vacation will end Spring (tapisserie reminds me of cherry blossoms (right season? 🤔 ) Winter (the alcantara-lined bund st...  

The Hanhart has been haunting my horologic soul since it was launched. Guess it is a re issue of a favorite of Mc Queen. Very cool with its bund straps. Nice straps you choose for your racing dial Speedy. Very nice! Keep enjoying your watches all year aro... 

These wristscan threads are always good fun

Here the WS team aim to make every edition a fun and enjoyable event. Ultimately it is the members enthusiastic participation what allows the success of each edition.

You are enjoying your Hanhart. Very cool 👍

Thanks for the compliment, captain

Have you had this one for long ?

It exceeded our expectations. I pushed for including Flyback functionality but…

Esp the Omegas. I got a soft spot for Omegas.

Summer = Seiko Season For Fall another Seiko, though this time Grand, the GS SBGH269 “Autumn” For Winter the GoS Sarek “Ice Blue” And for Spring my Habring² to usher in the green Wishing everyone a great weekend🤙 ...  

What’s that harbing2 model?

Especially on that strap.

With the stunning dial.

Patrik has informed me the Ice Blue is one of the hardest to achieve due to the large surface area of the dial and very short window of time to keep the metal heated before the color changes again.

It has some outliers which old alumni would experiment with, not mainstream, and so unique. I recall the days when this forum discussed about Nubeo, Fears, Dent, Bathys, Sarpaneva, Romain Jerome and obscure brands which are so exciting. Now it is mostly t... 

Four beautiful watches: you can never go wrong with Seiko/Grand Seiko. The red dial on the SBGH269 is stunning. This watch is in my wish list and will get in my nets sooner or later. Fabulous Mokume dial on your GoS Sarek. It makes for an awesome presence... 

Happy Hunting and hope you can find the Grand Seiko soon!

We just returned from largely internet free holidays this very moment. Hopefully not too late yet. Here my entries: Winter: Spring: Summer: Autumn: ...  

Good to have you with us my dear friend. Loving the Doxa shot 🥶 Have a great week ahead. Best regards Captain

Great choices to share your watches and connection with Seasons shown in beautiful shots . Your last shot inspires me to get my Zenith chronograph to be worn during next week. Have a nice Sunday dear KM!! Cheers! Abel
