WristScan

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...  

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 ...  

Just look at that minerva monopusher movement 💕… beautiful ! Any Vacheron gets my attention !

An iconic design with the Devil’s Tail on the column wheel lever 😊

... 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

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...  

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.

... 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... 

And you did everything right 😁 Moving bracelet onto a strap can definitely rekindle the love - happened to me several times 😊👍🏻

… 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...  

I was lucky to find this Tudor to add to my collection. Im glad you like it. Thanks for your kind comments!! Hagwe! Abel

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

… 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

Tough love !

The Bathyscaphe is a great daily wear and the Daytona a true icon in its latest iteration!

... confidence in our very unsafe city. The Daytona is a real icon among watches. I like so much this latest version which introduced some subtle cosmetic changes which I loved so much, specially the steel ring around its ceramic bezel which gives a nod t... 

I miss mine, sold in 1999! And, great theme Captain! Simone

Hope you are keeping well and enjoying life.

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! ;-) ...  

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... 

... 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... 

Looking like the recent months have been full of cool additions to your spectacular collection - huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈

Thank you again for your kind words! Abel

When the time is right one needs to grab the opportunity - they don’t always come twice 🤷🏻‍♂️👍🏻

I can still remember them all 🤦‍♂️

...  

Have you had this one for long ?

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.

... both with formal or sport clothes. Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel

The new white dial Speedmaster is a current love but my wife refers to the Porsche as my mistress 😉 🤷🏼‍♂️ ...  

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.

You won’t be disappointed, it’s a great watch.

More to come as I get some more miles on her … ...  

Excellent build quality and sublime engineering add up to a great package.

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 ordered the Volvo EX90 electric which I should get this summer and it’s 500km range max…in the summer!

... for wheeled mistress... I can understand your feelings for it. Keep enjoying both my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel

.. to have great taste as well ! Best, 😊😊

But as you can imagine I have a special weakness for the watch in your opening shot 😁👍🏻👏🏻

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...  

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

And thanks.

... 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

Wearing the Citizen today! ...  

Looking amazing, this one 👏🏻👌🏻

I really like the dial colour and finish.

And very much hoping that the remaining treatment goes as well as can be expected 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

...  

Is this a new love affair ?

...  

Can you tell us a little more about how you are enjoying it ?

To reach the legendary status and spread of the FF - but it’s got the right elements 👌🏻👍🏻

...  

And the dial colour is very nice.

Not many IWCs being of the monopusher configuration 👌🏻👍🏻

...  

Well played !

Nice strap 👌

I still love them all but these are in rotation right now and get the most love for this moment Hagwe 🤗🙏🏻 ...  

And the Ostrich strap choice is spot on - great texture and color match!

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

... wonderful pieces. Thank you for sharing your deep loved ones. Keep enjoying and loving so much and have a great weekend! Abel

Have a great weekend too🙏🏻

And the current rotation is no exception! Btw. what’s the strap on the CvdK?

Its a buffalo strap that came with the watch .

So cheesy … but true ...  

Well played Ludi, I love your photos. Perfect for our theme this weekend.

Have a nice weekend! Abel

Best & enjoy them all in the Best of your health ! Cheers, 😊😊

And some superb watches that go with it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

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 ...  

My wife and I did the his and hers thing with the ice blue dial version and love them! ...  

You both have great taste.

Enjoy !

Yes, I swapped the bracelet for the rubber strap option and it is very comfortable. HAGWE yourself! 🍻

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.

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!

With many new customers won as a result 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for hosting this month. I just have one watch with me for the next two weeks on vacation so I guess this qualifies🤣 ...  

And your photos show it so well.

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 😳

This one is stunning with its blue dial and the blue straps choice. What a watch to deeply love! Hagwe! 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!

A wonderful choice for the holidays 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻

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 ...  

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 🤷🏼‍♂️

Be it in the best of good health!! Hagwe! Abel

And a great story to go with it 🙌🏻

Wishing a great weekend to all fellow purists! ...  

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... 

Wearing for a full week on vacation made me appreciate it even more then before!

It looks very nice as does your Longines. Excellent photos !

That Longines has me fairly intrigued 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻

With a husband and wife set at the end. ...  

Good to have you joining us this weekend, especially with the husband and wife set at the end.

...  

Sometimes I think moser has gone too extreme with nothing on the dial at all. This is peak for me, nice clean organized dial 👍

I always love a Moser 🤩

I will be loving my GMTM 1675 MK3..Cheers! ...  

I would gladly own that one in a heartbeat.

That this one is loved more frequently 😁😉👍🏻👌🏻

took out the 16750 and this 1675 Mk3 couple days back and will be having them on for the next few weeks😉

There is nothing wrong with this watch. Simply beautiful like a well cultured lady…. ...  

Easy to fall in love with this one and your photos really show it at its finest.

I didn’t know that I could get conscious while posting for the first time at WristScan, at 62!! Regards

Thanks. Regards

...  

We seldom see a Bovet on WristScan and this one looks great on your wrist.

Still smitten with its dial design after almost 20 years..

Just amazing.

Nice shot, too 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

...  

Porsche and a Nautilus that’s living the dream !

Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend.

Thanks!

...  

The Depthmaster and Zodiac look very cool 😎

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...  

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 ;-)

Helps that the sun is out! Might also be a little whisky later Cheers JML ...  

Great pair you chose for the theme 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

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 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...  

Your Hautlence Linear Series 2 looks fantastic ! … especially when paired with your leather jacket. Great style.

☺️ ...  

And given the numbers produced that’s likely to remain that way 😁 Great choice and huge congratulations 🎈🎊🎉

I highly appreciate your comment, dear KMII.

I wish you a long love affair with this piece with lots of enjoyment. Best cordial regards, 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 ...  

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... 

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. ...  

Excellent wrist shots and both are very different but equally as beautiful in their own ways.

Well chosen!

Love the monochrome appearance of my old favourite,slim and seats comfortably ..a fun casual Cartier,versatile Thanks for an interesting theme HAGWE ...  

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 😄 ...  

is a lifelong love and companion - the reasons are rather self-explanatory........ 😁 ...  

178 indeed! Btw. did you enter in in the roll call on HoMe? 😊🤞🏻

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...  

But where’s the Type XX? Thought that one would have definitely made the list? 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

.. 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 😊😊

Here you are : Splendid Type XX 😊😊 ...  

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... 

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 😊😊

The DateJust Mint Green Riffled dial looks very nice in your photos. Best regards Captain

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 hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Another great pairing you show 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you 🙏

... 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

It will definitely be worth the wait.

This watch looks so charming and beautiful variant of our beloved Speedmaster! Keep enjoying yours so much my dear friend!!🥂🥂👋👋

...  

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 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Very elegant 🤩

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🤣 ...  

The shot shows it was not all hardship there 😉👌🏻👍🏻

and your FPJ is the perfect partner for the event. Thank you for finding the time to join us this weekend.

...  

And fully understand the SwatchPain - enjoy mine a lot more than i expected 😊👍🏻 ...  

The skeleton dial looks so good with the numerals in gold.

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...  

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...  

I can’t wait to see the final addition 😉

Some for quite a long time… And some fresh… ❤️ ...  

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... 

There are more that I thoroughly like but these somehow fit for the moment 😊👍🏻

I absolutely love the diversity.

There are some more that have a perpetual place in my heart but then I really love most of the watches I have, so… 😁🤷🏻‍♂️

... 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... 

Which of the two Habrings? 😁

Very unique.

Happy Sunday! ...  

What a great combo 🤩

The Explorer 2 on that strap is truly a gem, now waiting to see you put the AE on a strap 😊👍🏻🤞🏻

. . . unrequited. Yes, the platinum Lange Sidestep. I don't own this one . . . yet. ...  

I can completely understand why this one has you under its spell. Surely resistance is futile 😉

. . . chances are good it'll be on my wrist permanently.

I hope you get it 👍

An amazing piece 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

...  

What is the subdial at 12 if I may ask?

I’ve just seen your front page post Hora. Apologies.

Looking forward to getting my first tide indicator watch later this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

As it hasn’t been released…

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.

Several “vintage lovers” never to leave my collection … ...  

For the first I can imagine your wife looking at you askew if it left 😉👍🏻

As is my wife 😉

More than all watches combined 😂👍🏻

Especially military and space exploration.

The case gives me VC vibes. What's the story here?

The watch was presented to a member of the Mercedes Benz team on the Mille Miglia.

Well for the past couple months haha. Love the versatility. Weekend or weekday, it does fit right in. ...  

I’m sure you will still be enjoying this beautiful Lange in many years to come.

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...  

A lifetime away 😆

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 ... 

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

The big decisions are the dial format and case metal.

I don’t wear gold, otherwise that 22k would be a dream. What did you end up choosing?

Very impressed with Richard and his team. I look forward to seeing your timepiece soon

Daytona is in the shop so this is getting all of the love at the moment! ...  

Occasionally, our loved ones need a trip to the spa. Perfect opportunity to enjoy this one. Best regards Captain

...  

The ever versatile Cartier. Good shots 👍

Thanks for sharing! Abel
