WristScan May Edition - Live !
Hello dear friends ! We are now live for the May edition of WristScan and the theme, as you can see from our poster is all about the watches that we are currently in love with ! It could be a weekend love or something more permanent We also have the addit...
For me I am most in love with this montblanc minerva beauty
I wanted one since it was released and being able to find a NOS at montblanc boutique a few years back was just perfect. I love the 39mm dimensions, cal 13.21 minerva monopusher movement, the case shape, enamel dial, and pulso scale. Top finishing IMO My ...
Wow …
Just look at that minerva monopusher movement 💕… beautiful ! Any Vacheron gets my attention !
Love that Minerva movement!
An iconic design with the Devil’s Tail on the column wheel lever 😊
Wow TeutonicCarFan! Two great pieces to be in love with! The Minerva has a beautiful dial with vintage vibes and those marvelous Breguet numbers and of course its...
... stunning Minerva movement. The VC Chronometre Royal a true classic beauty to love so much as well. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy a nice weekend. Abel
First time doing this- is this where I post
The simplest of Reversos But in my opinion the best. It carries the true DNA of the brand. The polo watch. A gift from my wife who has great taste. I got it engraved so it will never leave the collection. The bracelet was keeping me from wearing it (addin...
Welcome ! …
It’s good to have you joining us this weekend for WristScan. Your Reverso is a wonderful gift of love from your wife and looks perfect on your wrist.
Welcome to our WS event EinPa. I wish you´ll enjoy so much participating here. Agree that the Reverso carries the brand DNA. A classic model it is. Lovely gift from your wife and ...
... the engraving add to the charm of this watch. It is not usual to view a Reverso with a metalic bracelet and I like it so much and agree that the cordovan straps is a practical option specially if it helps you to enjoy it better. Keep enjoying and lovi...
A wonderful piece…
And you did everything right 😁 Moving bracelet onto a strap can definitely rekindle the love - happened to me several times 😊👍🏻
Hello dear Captain!! Great Theme and awesome shot to open …
… the thread for this weekend! I can easily understand your deep love for this recent addition to your collection which I know you have been hunting for a long time. As you know I have added a few pieces to my collection after a several months pause of wa...
Yes I am dear friend Yacomino!! I love them!!
I was lucky to find this Tudor to add to my collection. Im glad you like it. Thanks for your kind comments!! Hagwe! Abel
Incredible lineup of love and desire 🤩
How could I possibly choose between them…. The ceramic Daytona is a legendary watch even by Rolex standards as is your superb Blancpain FF Aqua Lung. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments on…
… my choices to answer the Theme for this weekend!! Agree it’s not easy to choose just one. We are lucky to be able to love many watches at same time. Watches are not jealous l… fortunately! Lol! Have a great weekend my dear friend!! Cheers! Abel
A great lineup as always Abel.
The Bathyscaphe is a great daily wear and the Daytona a true icon in its latest iteration!

Thanks for sharing the photos of your 79090, Abel!
I miss mine, sold in 1999! And, great theme Captain! Simone
Thanks Captain!
Things are getting better, and, of course, I'm always enjoyng life! Happy spring, I'm looking forward to seeing you here soon! I love the watch and the human being that comes with the whole pachage! ;-) ...
Wow, my dear friend, Abel !.. What a line-up of fine pieces !..You have to be congratulated to such marvels !
I like also your sequence of listing of these ! A special congrats to your black Bathyscaphe but also a special praise to your achievement of the 2 FFs, especially to the AquaLung - what a great piece !- Yet, also the new one is a very nice item ! Great t...
Hello my dear friend HS!! I appreciate so much your always so kind comments on my posts and watches shared. Indeed it was a very lucky opportunity which appeared after several long...
... months without hunting activities. As you can see I added some watches you also own so we keep being "horological twins" as usual. Lol! I´m happy you like the FF shots. The vintage Aqua Lung was a very desired version I could catch at beginnings of pa...
Simply wow!
Looking like the recent months have been full of cool additions to your spectacular collection - huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Fully understand…
When the time is right one needs to grab the opportunity - they don’t always come twice 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Thanks!
About 2 years. I’m a sucker for blue dials and sector dials and I love the case design and how versatile it is - equally at home with a T shirt or suit.
Hello Lurker! Welcome to our WS event! Thank you so much for sharing this spectacular VC beauty! An stunning presence on your wrist and agree with you that you can enjoy wearing...
... both with formal or sport clothes. Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel
Two more current loves …
The new white dial Speedmaster is a current love but my wife refers to the Porsche as my mistress 😉 🤷🏼♂️ ...
That Omega is a stunner!
Tried one on in the Bond Street boutique and awaiting it to land at my local AD. Can honestly say that I prefer it to the latest white dial Daytona.
Thank you …
Excellent build quality and sublime engineering add up to a great package.
Significantly better range …
The order books are open now, and Porsche says the 2025 model year Taycans (both sedan and Cross Turismo variants) will arrive at dealers in the summer of 2024.
I agree! I don’t get why they can’t or won’t break that 300 miles barrier (same for many manufacturer) compared to some good range from lucent and Tesla for example
I ordered the Volvo EX90 electric which I should get this summer and it’s 500km range max…in the summer!
I imagined this one would be present in your list dear Captain! How not to love it? I was told mine would finally arrive before end of this month. Now regarding your...
... for wheeled mistress... I can understand your feelings for it. Keep enjoying both my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel
Really love that shot !.. And your wife appears..
.. to have great taste as well ! Best, 😊😊
Both wonderful…
But as you can imagine I have a special weakness for the watch in your opening shot 😁👍🏻👏🏻
One you might expect and one you might not!
I love this one x1000! Just picked up this one today as a reward for making it through the first stage of aggressive chemo! This is such a lovely, un-camera-able watch! It's more green blue, deep teal with a wonderful depth to the dial, almost like a holo...
The fabulous Frodsham 🤩
That’s a love affair that I’m looking forward to enjoying very soon 😉 Stay strong and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Best regards Captain
Hello dear Spangles! You did well to get this stunning Citizen perpetual calendar with the solar powered movement as a personal reward. I wish the best for you going through your ...
... treatment and recovering very soon. Marvelous shot of your lovely Frodsham watch. The violet reflex on the Roman indexes coming from the flowers is a superb detail of your shot. Keep enjoying and loving so much! Stay strong dear friend!! Abel
A fabulous pair!
And very much hoping that the remaining treatment goes as well as can be expected 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
That’s a cool Blancpain 😎
Can you tell us a little more about how you are enjoying it ?
A truly cool watch, even if it might need some time…
To reach the legendary status and spread of the FF - but it’s got the right elements 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you for hosting this WS dear Captain.
I still love them all but these are in rotation right now and get the most love for this moment Hagwe 🤗🙏🏻 ...
Love that 1942 Remontoire.
And the Ostrich strap choice is spot on - great texture and color match!
Hello dear friend …
I feel the love for every single watch in your photos. The textured dial finish on your CVDK looks particularly good in the photo. Best regards Captain
Stunning selection of timepieces you share here dear Watchonthewrists! As usual it is not easy to pick just one among these beauties. I can feel your deep love for each one of these...
... wonderful pieces. Thank you for sharing your deep loved ones. Keep enjoying and loving so much and have a great weekend! Abel
Your collection is truly epic…
And the current rotation is no exception! Btw. what’s the strap on the CvdK?
Clearly an epic love story …
Well played Ludi, I love your photos. Perfect for our theme this weekend.
What a nice love story !.. Great pieces & a lovely model to present them !
Best & enjoy them all in the Best of your health ! Cheers, 😊😊
Now that’s the proper entry for the theme 😁👍🏻👌🏻
And some superb watches that go with it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This one!!
Hello Cpt, thank you for hosting this month. Here is my current love. Very, very comfortable, a bit of a looker (to me) and relatively affordable!! Regards ...
That's an easy watch to love!
My wife and I did the his and hers thing with the ice blue dial version and love them! ...
Thanks for your kind comment, Abel.
Yes, I swapped the bracelet for the rubber strap option and it is very comfortable. HAGWE yourself! 🍻
My favourite PRX …
The blue dial and strap combo looks so good. Is this a recent addition ? My pleasure to host this edition of WristScan for our community.
Thanks Captain!
Yes it is a great combination. It was a present from my good lady with zero input and knowledge from me. Life is full of good surprises!
Definitely a great release for Tissot!
With many new customers won as a result 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good morning Captain.
Thanks for hosting this month. I just have one watch with me for the next two weeks on vacation so I guess this qualifies🤣 ...
Thanks Captain.
So many interesting things going on with this movement - not the least of which is the slightly off-center rotor. So much attention to detail - and the use of RG 😳
Hello Timeout!! Two weeks to love it daily. It´s easy to fall in love with a FP Journe watch. I love the strong and personal character of their designs and the superb finish of their movements.
This one is stunning with its blue dial and the blue straps choice. What a watch to deeply love! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks Abel.
This is definitely my perpetual which is easiest on the eyes. I’ll happily forgo the Moonphase for all data being available in windows!
Certainly can see how that love affair could take place!
A wonderful choice for the holidays 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Is it enough to be in love with a watch for 35+ years?
My father bought this watch new in 1977. It was given to me when I graduated from the High School in 1988. It was on my wrist when I graduated from the University, when i got married and when my first daughter was born. Got it back from service yesterday ...
Great to hear your story …
It gives context to this modern classic. I have fond memories of owning an identical one for many years, finally trading it for a new blue dial Submariner. In many ways I wish I still owned it 🤷🏼♂️
Great theme again dear friend. Two very simple beauties for me recently…
Wishing a great weekend to all fellow purists! ...
That’s a nice Longines..
However, there is one watch in your collection that is slowly, quietly seducing me. I am growing towards a Ranger but I need to try. I was hoping/wishing for a white or cream dial variant to be released this year, maybe next, I live in hope lol! It’s a gl...
If you have a chance to try the Ranger I am sure it will seduce you and close the deal.
Wearing for a full week on vacation made me appreciate it even more then before!
I really need to try a Ranger …
It looks very nice as does your Longines. Excellent photos !
Nice collection of watches and photos …
Good to have you joining us this weekend, especially with the husband and wife set at the end.
That looks great!
Sometimes I think moser has gone too extreme with nothing on the dial at all. This is peak for me, nice clean organized dial 👍
hehe...i haven't been wearing my GMTM for a while....
took out the 16750 and this 1675 Mk3 couple days back and will be having them on for the next few weeks😉
I feel my affair with this Cintree will last longer than my previous relationships.
There is nothing wrong with this watch. Simply beautiful like a well cultured lady…. ...
Classy choice of a Cartier …
Easy to fall in love with this one and your photos really show it at its finest.
I’m glad that you liked it. Thanks
I didn’t know that I could get conscious while posting for the first time at WristScan, at 62!! Regards
That’s a glamorous love affair 😉
We seldom see a Bovet on WristScan and this one looks great on your wrist.
Two from me
Hi All Firstly my Oris Big Crown that I've had forever - still wearing it regularly & of late it's been welded to my wrist From yesterday Definitely have history with the Oris! Realised today I hadn't worn my Reverso for an age, so that's been on my other...
The Oris big crown …
This watch always looks so good in your photos, definitely your signature watch. I hope you are enjoying a little sunshine and a pint this weekend ;-)
Thanks :) 🥃
Helps that the sun is out! Might also be a little whisky later Cheers JML ...
So the days of the Urushi being on one of the wrists for years is now well and truly over? 😁
Great pair you chose for the theme 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Still enjoying wearing it but a whole lot less frequently
Was & still is a great watch - the dial is stunning Probably need to wear it again, but you're right the days of it almost being permanently welded to a wrist are over. Wore it solidly, but COVID did for it in the end - as we weren't going anywhere much f...
This watch makes me happy. Very happy. And it hasn’t left my wrist since its purchase.
This was 10 days ago when I was able to get a repaired watch back. It hit me like a bolt of lightning when my AD suddenly showed me this special marvel: a Hautlence Linear Series 2. It had been delivered half an hour before. I have rarely seen anything li...
Wow Thomas …
Your Hautlence Linear Series 2 looks fantastic ! … especially when paired with your leather jacket. Great style.
Now that’s a watch not commonly seen…
And given the numbers produced that’s likely to remain that way 😁 Great choice and huge congratulations 🎈🎊🎉
Hello dear Thomas! Big congrats on your new found love!! Fantastic piece! Very cool and strong presence on your wrist together with the black leather jacket.
I wish you a long love affair with this piece with lots of enjoyment. Best cordial regards, Abel
Thank you so much, dear Abel! 🙏☺️
Yes, I think it’s a good combination. ☺️ It was “an unplanned purchase which I couldn’t resist” - like your Bathyscaphe… LOLLL Your Aqua Lung is out of this world. All the best Thomas ...
A great combination it is dear Thomas. When these unplanned opportunities arrive we should decide if jumping on them... or not. Most proably we will regret in the future if we don´t do it.
It all depends on the piece and our financial condition when the opportunity arrives!! Lol!! So I can only say: Well done Thomas! I´m glad you like the Agua Lung FF. This was a very desired piece which had been haunting me for many years. Enjoy your watch...
My Nord and my Cartier.
Two totally different watches. I love both. Like it is possible in life. See the movie "Les Choses de la Vie" with Michel Piccoli. When you have to decide. ...
Both look superb …
Excellent wrist shots and both are very different but equally as beautiful in their own ways.
These two have been hogging my wrist for past two weeks...
Love the monochrome appearance of my old favourite,slim and seats comfortably ..a fun casual Cartier,versatile Thanks for an interesting theme HAGWE ...
Great theme Captain !
Wonderful watches we have this weekend . Currently my affection have been captured for the last few weeks by a couple of divers , one microbrand skin diver and another rather more robust one 😄 ...
This one....
is a lifelong love and companion - the reasons are rather self-explanatory........ 😁 ...
Of course they would be!
178 indeed! Btw. did you enter in in the roll call on HoMe? 😊🤞🏻
A bit late, but hope not too late.. 😉 And Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play..
Here just some few favs.. Lemania Tg 195 Monopusher Really love that Vintage One of my fav WTs; JLC Geophysic Universal Time To me a real pleasure to look down on it Polaris Geographique My youngest love from this year: DateJust Mint Green Riffled dial Th...
Some real gems…
But where’s the Type XX? Thought that one would have definitely made the list? 😊🤷🏻♂️
You know me so well that of course the type XX is one of my tops..
.. if not THE top choice normally but I had shown it more recently already once or twice.. So I went otherwise a bit, this time, which does not change my affection for this Breguet Type XX Best 😊😊
Hello dear friend HS!! You share some "love for entire life" watches here. The vintage Lemania I didn´t remember to having viewed before, but it is easy to fall in love with this beauty.
The JLC World Time is another watch we share in our collections. So I can easily feel your love here. I congratulate you for your latest love: that riffled dial is truly mesmerizing! I´m sure you are still honeymooning with this one and suspect a perpetua...
Thx a lot so much for your kind comments, dear Abel !
It’s always a special pleasure, if we two discover a common Reference, which we both share ! And Yes, as often said: horological twins.. - Lol !! Best & Cheers 😊😊
I love all of your watches…
The DateJust Mint Green Riffled dial looks very nice in your photos. Best regards Captain
Red …
The romance of the Ferrari name and the legendary cars from the past have an undeniable attraction. The Speedmaster is a current love and the red tip on the chronograph hand could easily be a tribute to the prancing horse, il Cavallino … ...
I´ve been waiting for a white dial Speedy for so long. And Omega answer didn´t disappoint. Our local Omega boutique the watch has arrived to the Country and they are waiting for the Customs clearance...
... to get them in their shop. So my wait will end soon. You share yours in an stunning shot with that Ferrari red background matching the seconds hand tip. Just adding more fire to my desire!! Have a nice Sunday my dear friend. Abel
Thank you Captain!! I’m sure the wait will be worth it.
This watch looks so charming and beautiful variant of our beloved Speedmaster! Keep enjoying yours so much my dear friend!!🥂🥂👋👋
These are truly elegant!
Not heard much from the brand since KV took them over but the watches are truly up my alley and yours is a perfect specimen 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Here’s my wrist shot for the day.
The price to be paid for a boys’ week in Geneva for W&W was 5 days at the RWHS. Made it to day 5🤣 ...
While I am not sure what the abbreviation is…
The shot shows it was not all hardship there 😉👌🏻👍🏻
Hopefully good weather for the show …
and your FPJ is the perfect partner for the event. Thank you for finding the time to join us this weekend.
The skeletonized PF is superb!
And fully understand the SwatchPain - enjoy mine a lot more than i expected 😊👍🏻 ...
My Fave Is The One **Not Yet** Acquired
As we all know, the outdated 1960's Holy Trinity marketing campaign is long gone, and so i decided to create my own Purple Holy Trinity with better, modern timepieces. And so my fave is the one NOT YET acquired: And so my choice is the MB&F LM101 in WG wi...
One day it will be complete... one day.
Imho every collector should have a timepiece they are 'always seeking to acquire'. PS: The other timepiece i've always wanted would be a very early RD in rg with black dial and raised Breguet numbers, fancy dial AND shaped crystal. Saw it when brand new a...
Splendid Quintet, dear KMII !
My 2 Favs out of these are the superb VC Karré (also really love that strap ), and the L.U.Chopard 8Hz Chronometer; whereby the classic Minerva is only second by small margin.. 😊😊 - The two compelling Habrings to me are also really lovely ! So you see, ev...
Thanks a lot for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
There are more that I thoroughly like but these somehow fit for the moment 😊👍🏻
The spice of life, eh? 😁
There are some more that have a perpetual place in my heart but then I really love most of the watches I have, so… 😁🤷🏻♂️
Fantastic choices showing your big love for these pieces dear friend KM. It´s always outstanding your fine taste in choosing an special set of straps for each of them to enhance their beauty...
... and your enjoyment. The VC is some kind of signature watch for you. It´s nice to see that our Captain has added one of these rare and so charming watches to his own collection. It´s a rare occasion to be able to view two of these watches in a same thr...
The orange details 👏🏻👌🏻
The Explorer 2 on that strap is truly a gem, now waiting to see you put the AE on a strap 😊👍🏻🤞🏻
My new love is currently . . .
. . . unrequited. Yes, the platinum Lange Sidestep. I don't own this one . . . yet. ...
Hi Art …
I can completely understand why this one has you under its spell. Surely resistance is futile 😉
Should this particular example still be available next year . . .
. . . chances are good it'll be on my wrist permanently.
Very cool indeed 👍🏻
Looking forward to getting my first tide indicator watch later this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I always enjoy seeing something completely different …
This Yema is a really interesting watch especially with the tide indicator. I would like to try one on my wrist. Thank you for sharing it with us on WristScan.
Three historical gems 💎
For the first I can imagine your wife looking at you askew if it left 😉👍🏻
I just find something very special about vintage watches …
Especially military and space exploration.
It’s an interesting story …
The watch was presented to a member of the Mercedes Benz team on the Mille Miglia.
This find its way back on the wrist pretty often lately
Well for the past couple months haha. Love the versatility. Weekend or weekday, it does fit right in. ...
Classic good looks …
I’m sure you will still be enjoying this beautiful Lange in many years to come.
My current loves, in no particular order.
The Z-blue Millie! I stare at it so much while driving, that an accident is bound to happen. The Plati CS with applied numerals. Bond. nuff said Bonus: the lover that I haven’t won over yet…the Frodsham, on my wife's wrist There’s no wrist shot that is mo...
Cool selection …
Hi Hussam, I’m with you on the choice of watches you are sharing with us this weekend. The Rolex is a great choice as is your FPJ. The “No Time To Die” Seamaster looks very cool in your photo and the Frodsham is absolutely sublime. As you said, so London ...
Sadly, I’ve never been to the workshop. My wife went once and she was enamored (Which says A lot about Richard and the atelier). I was supposed to go last September, but Had to cancel at the last minute.
I hope to finally meet Richard and handle the watches this November. To me, the experience of talking to Richard and ordering the watch was so rewarding, that I can only imagine what the final ownership experience will be like
I’m sure you will enjoy handling the watches …
The big decisions are the dial format and case metal.
I’m slotted for stainless steel but hear that titanium is being considered.
I don’t wear gold, otherwise that 22k would be a dream. What did you end up choosing?
Spectacular! I wasn’t even aware that that metal was on offer.
Very impressed with Richard and his team. I look forward to seeing your timepiece soon
Here is my contribution, Captain!
Daytona is in the shop so this is getting all of the love at the moment! ...
Nice ! …
Occasionally, our loved ones need a trip to the spa. Perfect opportunity to enjoy this one. Best regards Captain
