The WS for the 8th of July - ‘Next Generation’ - is live
By: KMII : July 8th, 2022-16:42
The theme for this week is Next Generation - meaning watches you would like to pass on to the next generation or in case you are not that far yet to someone else significant in your life. So in essence a Patek Philippe justification to your collection… Lo...
So starting it off…

Soon after the little ones transitioned from grabbing to talking they decided on dibs for for specific watches. The daughter, being the elder, started first. And the Chopard LUC Chrono One was her first choice. She even made sure there’s a bite mark in on...
Very cool Abel!

Looking forward to seeing your entry and on both what they have already received / built up and on what your plans are 😊👍🏻
Left-Handed Dad Gets A Very Special Rolex GMT
By: enjoythemusic : July 8th, 2022-21:14
Here's the short of it.... You don't merely own a Rolex Lefty GMT, you gift it to your dad because he's your mentor, hero, and has done so very much to help (literally) tens of thousands of people live better lives, and thus making the world a far better ...
Wow - what a story 🙌🏻
By: KMII : July 9th, 2022-07:11
Amazing and very heart warming! Glad you could provide him with this much joy and in such a situation shots matter less than enjoying the moment 👍🏻🙌🏻

This isn’t a easy theme imho.
By: Watchonthewrists : July 9th, 2022-09:44
Hard to predict what they will do with my collection after i am gone . I sometimes discuss this with my loved ones but i hope most of them will find a nice new home . A few watches that are personal will stay in the family. One of them is this CvdK A watc...
Truly fantastic, both 👍🏻👏🏻
By: KMII : July 9th, 2022-15:11
And you are right, they need to come into the hobby on their own terms 👏🏻 Very special piece you had made in her honor 👌🏻
Thanks dear Abel
By: Watchonthewrists : July 9th, 2022-21:15
I will try to enjoy them as much as possible
Simply wow 🤩
By: KMII : July 9th, 2022-15:13
That VC - pure perfection 👍🏻👌🏻 Forgive my tired eyes, is it one or are there a WG and RG ones? The rest are super appealing, too 👏🏻
👍😎

Hello dear friend KM! As told before I feel like you that …
By: Subexplorer : July 9th, 2022-14:27
… at some point my entire collection will go to my son and daughter but in the meantime I have been trying to let them know how much I enjoy my passion for collecting and wearing them and helping them to discover the joy of wearing watches and to assemble...
Truly fantastic pieces…
By: KMII : July 9th, 2022-15:15
That custom green dial is a real cherry on the cake 🍒 Just out of curiosity, how’s their appreciation of horology developing?
Not the dinosaur aficionado…
By: KMII : July 9th, 2022-19:05
The posters were made by Captain Scarlet, as usual and I do not know who the child is 🤷🏻♂️ Mine are still too small to fully partake but they clearly see their parents interest and maybe it will run off 🤞🏻 I am looking forward to shopping for watches wit...
Ahh! Ok! Thank you so much for your clarification!
By: Subexplorer : July 9th, 2022-19:48
Yes, as I said before our sport is very contagious and being exposed to parents interest on watches will open their eyes about the marvelous watch world. Keep enjoying your beautiful family and watches my friend! Cheers! Abel
Heart warming …

Hearing about your family and your watches. The green dial Rolex is a lot of fun.

Decision from the heart …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 10th, 2022-09:40
Hello dear KM and friends ! I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend. This is a subject that I made my decisions about some years ago. I won’t go into all the details but basically one watch will stay with my wife if she lives beyond me. The watch I had on...
Many people…
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 10th, 2022-12:12
Either don’t want to contemplate the future deeply or feel it’s very personal. Collecting is seen by many outsiders as a selfish sport. I intended to prove otherwise.
Fair points…
By: KMII : July 10th, 2022-13:13
Oh well, maybe not the most well thought through theme 🤷🏻♂️
You’re being a little harsh on yourself …
By: Cpt Scarlet : July 10th, 2022-15:35
We should be challenged and start thoughtful discussion on subjects others avoid or haven’t contemplated. That’s all part of our community spirit. Thank you for hosting WristScan this weekend.
Thank you Abel …
