Hello, my dear friend Abel !.. That is a whole bunch, no - an extensive conundrum of fine watches you entered
.. You submitted a real pleasure garden, to pick up one’s most attractive choices.
- My personal favs are already the very first shot with the GMT Pepsi behind the Porsche wheel, but also
the ensuant following with the various GMTs, such as the 126710 BLNR, a Ref.we share.
Very spectacular despite its somewhat low key appearance is your new Panerai, Marina Militare PAM05218,
your most recent inclusion into your stables. - Sincere Congrats to this marvellous watch ‼️
- I simply love its appearance and layout and I have even inquired about waiting list(s),
which currently amounts to roughly 9-12 months., as far as the European Client relation central office (?)
estimates.
- But the catch currently is that the European Central Organization does neither know the
length nor the number of queued up submitters.. 😏
Even without knowing your ordering position in the line, obviously a very long time ago, it would love to make a new
and desirable acquisition.
- Alas, we will see how the market and Panerai production develops.. 😉
Enough about me and possible future interests, just as a last item here about your submission:
The spectacular Xmas tree and all the watches “embedded” - THAT is a great shot, worth
a prize this month !! 👏🏻👏🏻
Dear friend, wishing you further nice & happy weeks before & during Xmas- days and all my very
Best to you & yours ‼️
😊🎄

The December Wristscan - Driving home for Christmas - is live 🏁🎄
As announced on Wednesday, the theme for the final WS of the year will be ‘Driving home for Christmas’ - listening to a Chris Res while posting and behind the wheel shots optional but not required! So whatever you celebrate on December, feel free to be in...
To kick off proceedings…
Here some shots from past years. Currently not nearly ready for the festive part after the latest move and fortunately moved to a place where setting up the tree on the 24th of December is seen as fully acceptable 😉 ...
Hello dear KM!! Thank you so much for hosting this last edition of our beloved WS events and with a great festive Theme.
You have set the bar very high with your pictures of your opening thread. Your Red Raqueta makes my heart beat fast every time you show it. It´s a pending in my collection! And I love that joyful Snoopy Timex among the superb other watches you share here....
Thanks so much for the kind words, Abel 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
I would expect at least one seaside or beach shot from you, whether with a tree or without 😁
It is a watch that gets regular wear during this season 😊👍🏻
Really like the playfulness of it and the red color is seasonally appropriate 😁🔴
Thx for hosting and the input of a bunch of stimulating pics, whereby the first Omega, the cool Snoopy-Timex.. - Super Coool !..
.. and the Habring are my favs ! Wishing you a good & festive Holiday Season, pretty much ready to be kicked off ,
Thanks so much HS111 😊👍🏻🙏🏻
Glad you like them! I just figured it’s been years since I took more Christmasy pictures and have none of them on my phone. Time to change that 😉
Dear KMII, thank you for hosting this WS event and congratulations on your great selection of photos!
They are all perfectly suited to the theme and the upcoming holidays! Best, Emmanuel
Glad you like them, Emmanuel 👍🏻🙏🏻
Any shots you are joining us for this months WS? 🤞🏻
Reminding me of the joke about Santa needing to pass his pilot license refresher…
And seeing the examiner climb into the sleigh with a shotgun under his coat 🛷 Santa then asks what that is for, to which the examiner replies, ‘I shouldn’t be telling you this but you will lose an engine on take-off’ 😂😂😂
Santa’s on his way 🎅…
I just hope I have been good this year 😬 Driving home, I had to decorate the dashboard … Santa has a stunt double ) … Everyone loves Christmas lights … I may have overloaded the Land Rover … The annual outing for the Mince Pie Explorer ! Merry Christmas e...
Great shots dear Captain! I absolutely love your Mince Pie Explorer!
Regrettably my local Rolex boutique tells me that the waiting list is so long I’ll need to wait a couple more Xmas to get mine. 😉 And agree with you: I feel you have over loaded your Land Rover! lol! Superb shots my dear friend!! Merry Xmas!! Abel
This is next level 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Truly astounding the shots - now I also need to find a way to add to mine - you truly are raising the bar here 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 And something tells me the local chiropractor will be well booked over the coming days? 😉

I love the Mince Pie Explorer! ;-) Best, Emmanuel
Hello dear friend KM and all friends here! I join answering our Host challenge…
… with a few shots driving home for Xmas in the middle of our hot Summer Season down here… Driving home … To satisfy our dear Host with a beach and sea (no snow, no Xmas tree!) shot! Lol! With our small Xmas tree Just for the pleasure of sharing my new ad...
Thanks so much for adding a bit of contrast to the WS 👍🏻🙏🏻
The beach shots make for a nice counterpoint but then I knew you would add in some traditional seasonal shots, snow or no snow ❄️ Enjoy your Florida time (in case you are still there) or alternatively the summer Christmas at home 👋🏻
ALways my big pleasure to participate dear KM! Regret to say my Florida days are gone. A very short vacation time it was. But always enjoy visiting the great USA.
Now "enjoying" a very hot Summer time and a lot of work at the office and waiting for the next Xmas/end of Year Season... lacking snow of course. Lol! Have a great weekend my dear friend. Best, Abel
Wait…
I thought you announced that you retired this year? 😊 I guess that’s a part time retirement then? 😉
Ha ha ha!! I’ve been announcing my retirement since about five …
… years ago. Circumstances in our Country make it difficult to take the plunge and say goodbye to our family Company under this panorama. But I started to stay much less time at my office since some months ago and will try even less time next year. That’s...

Lovely static shot of a wonderful example of vintage SM 300 dear Hans! Not the usual scenary for a divers watch but precise with the Theme of this weekend.
Happy Xmas Season and New Year 2026! Best cordial regards, Abel
