Hmmhh.. Let me indicate what I could humbly chip in.. A modest Start into a new watch & WPS year !..

Jan 07, 2023,10:39 AM
 

wink wink





Started with my good old Seamaster CK 2913




It‘s a Vintage watch I always enjoy, with that nifty Lollipop as a cherry on the cake..






The Master Control Calendar in Blue during the week for theatre




And now for the WE: my most recent arrival




Reverso Tribute Small Second in Green




pleasure to look down on that „Classic with a twist“. – That Casa Fagliano strap really is a perfect match, IMHO.. 

Hope you liked a bit some of the choices..
Best, smile smile  

PS: BTW: Thx to you Capt‘n for again hosting this first theme of 2023

Hello dear friends ! After last year, it’s good to start the year with fresh hope, enthusiasm for life and a little horological pleasure for us all 😉 I started the week with a watch that always gives pleasure in a subtle and discrete sense, but with class...  

A super selection for the start of 2023!

Good afternoon Captain

 
 By: Timeout : January 6th, 2023-14:58
Many thanks for hosting this first WristScan of 2023. I started the New Year with a bang - the DB25 Starry Varius GMT I then switched to the JLC Duometre Chronographe for return to the office. Followed by the Moser Streamliner Perpetual And today the JLC ...  

Starting the year in considerable style !

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-15:46
Wow, I absolutely love the design details in your beautiful DB25 Starry Varius GMT. I can remember that days when DB started out making exceptional watches and have admired their work ever since.

Many thanks Captain

 
 By: Timeout : January 7th, 2023-02:37
The DB25 range really captured my attention and the GMT version of the Starry Varius ticked all the boxes for me. The color of the blued titanium is unique - unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. The attention to detail is exceptional - I particularly like...  

Wow !.. That is a big Bang for a great Start with your DB25 line and GMT version.. All that Blue is simply breathtaking !..

 
 By: hs111 : January 7th, 2023-11:55
For me a clear winner series of pics, also some with superb details on those Super Zooms.. Well done & Chapeau ! Best, hs.

Many thanks HS

 
 By: Timeout : January 7th, 2023-15:36
I’m really enjoying watching DB as they evolve, and also start producing some smaller watches in the DB25 line - the new 40mm Perpetual in particular. It’s good to see the independent sector of the market so vibrant these days!

Hello Timeout!! What a wonderful start of year 2023 !!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 6th, 2023-23:07
The DB is awesome! Your stunning shots leave me speechless! Wow! Same with that wonderful JLC Duometre. Wow again!! Not to mention your Moser and Reverso to complete your awesome choices. Great shots to share them with us. Have a great New Year 2023! Best... 

Many thanks Abel!

A fantastic, eclectic selection, dear Timeout!

 
 By: MTR : January 8th, 2023-13:33
I especially like your DB25 and the fantastic pics you made of it. Your JLC Grande GMT 8 days awakens nostalgic feelings in me. I owned this gem. And was stupid enough to sell it to fund another watch. Cheers Thomas ...  

Hello dear Captain! Happy New Year to you and all our friends here!! Wow! I didn´t know you had already catched the new 60 Years Bond SM!! Great addition to your collection! Big Congrats!

LE and CK 859 are two other excellent watches to wear during these first days of the new 2023! Look forward to a very enjoyable First WS edition of 2023 with many awesome entries from our participants. Will return later with my choices for present week an... 

Hello dear Abel …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-16:14
I thought the 60th Anniversary Bond SM would catch your eye. Or should that be Golden Eye 😉

Ha ha ha!! My Golden Eye for sure ! Lol!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 6th, 2023-22:31
I’m happy for your catching of this watch dear Captain and I can imagine you sre enjoying it so much. Hagwe! Abel

Good afternoon Captain.

 
 By: KURT_DAVID : January 6th, 2023-17:08
Repetition is unavoidable with a modest collection but I find myself reaching for and enjoying the Bronzo more and more. It’s also far more photogenic than the owner. 😉 Have a cracking weekend. Cheers 🍻 Kurt ...  

The warmth of bronze …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-17:39
Hello and Happy New Year Kurt. I completely understand your love for this Tudor. I have a blue dial version and always enjoy it. Will you keep it on for the weekend ? ...  

Oh yes throughout the weekend.

 
 By: KURT_DAVID : January 6th, 2023-17:51
Love that bronze and blue combination. Kurt 🍻

Thank you Kurt 🙏

You share it in a superb shot with the sunlight adding a warm glow to the charm of this watch. Hagwe! Abel

Happy New Year Abel!

This superb watch has my attention and certainly has my attention this weekend. The short lugs make such a difference on the wrist. Hope you can post a few more photos of it this weekend.

Thanks! It has my attention, too.

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : January 7th, 2023-02:33
I'll try to show it more later.

Thanks …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 7th, 2023-11:26
I really like your dial choice 😉

Wow - one of the few!

 
 By: jml_watches : January 7th, 2023-18:36

For sure, but I think a few purists have put in orders for one!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : January 8th, 2023-16:25
I think this is a very wearable watch that's meant to be a daily. Particularly in white metals, it flies under the radar--although I couldn't resist the 22k. Have a good year!

Thanks, Happy New Year and have a good weekend!

 
 By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : January 8th, 2023-16:26
I appreciate it, this is a very nice watch to wear.

You are welcome Spangles! A very nice watch to wear indeed.

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 8th, 2023-18:09
Thank you for your kind greetings for the new year!! Same to you! Cheers! Abel

I think for me it will be two new entries.

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : January 6th, 2023-14:58
The first I just think it looks so cool and really enjoy wearing it, while the second I only just bought this week! 😆 I finally used my real camera on the first but just the humble iPhone on the second. ...  

Congratulations on getting the Explorer 👏👏👏

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-16:24
You just cant go wrong with one of these in your collection. The IWC with tje green design details and matching strap looks incredible. How long have you had this one ?

A long time coming and thank you!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : January 6th, 2023-17:40
When I first saw this IWC I just fell in love with the colour, the titanium case, movement, and strap (and had also been a big F1 fan back during the Schumacher/Hill era). Immediately contacted IWC to be put on the wait list back in late August, and by mi...  

It looks very cool …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-17:45
The Schumacher/Hill era was certainly exciting times for F1 and I have found memories of meeting both great drivers.

Wow!

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : January 6th, 2023-17:59
I remember when McLaren dominated from the Australian grand prix onwards to a point when it got a little ridiculous. It was amazing, I think that was 1997-8? I was always rooting for Damon as a fellow Brit and could not believe he switched to Jordan (noth... 

Williams were a strong team at the time

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-19:36
Patrick Head always said that Damon wanted a significant increase in his contractual salary and this played a part in his shock departure.

I remember that money played quite a significant part in his decision, but he did help raise Eddie's team profile and won their first race for them which was amazing.

 
 By: KCLQMULKU : January 6th, 2023-19:44
I also remember how McLaren were always classed as the villain while Ferrari quite the opposite. The former did have the best cars then, but they were so good that there was no competition, at least for a while.

Ferrari were so good …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 6th, 2023-19:49
They practically broke the sport. They were the dream team.

Love these two new addition my friend!

 By: KCLQMULKU : January 6th, 2023-19:45
Something fun and something cool. 😉

Big congrats in your new addition to your collection. This is the new 36 mm version I presume... I love this watch, so classy and versatile! Enjoy it so much! Nice shots to share your choices...

 By: HSTE : January 6th, 2023-20:29
The 5402 are my favorites (luckily, I still have a few after the black one has gone … 😉). But then, others if in „sporty mood“…..

Good to hear that …

Hello dear Captain! Thanks a lot for your kind comments on my choices and photographs which I appreciate so much. I´m happy you like this old gold Date which is a kind of "good luck" charm for me now.

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 7th, 2023-13:27
It has grown vintage with me during all those long years (Lol!!) and it shows a soft patina in some corners of its case and also the charming riveted bracelet add to the vintage looks of this watch which was bought brand new at a local Rolex Ad around 198... 

Great sentiment…

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 7th, 2023-15:24
and I completely understand, the best watches in our collections should be all about the sentiment and not about the value.

I really like you beautiful green Reverso - and the Casa Fagliano straps really suit the model. I’m curious - how do you find the fit? I always seem to struggle with JLC strap sizes. My Duometre Chronographe shipped with a 120/80 which for my 17.2cm wrist... 

Thx for your kind looking & nice comment !

 
 By: hs111 : January 8th, 2023-14:26
As per your CF related Q about the strap length & fit, I can only say, I frequently choose a middle length ( so one measure more) for my 17cm wrist; in this case that results in a 120/75 strap. BTW: on another of my recent arrivals, (a Master Ctrl Cal...

recall its long stint on your wrist.

Back to black reminds me of Amy Winehouse's last album.

Nothing crazy. Old trusty companion ...  

Hello TeutonicCarFan …

The no date Submariner is a personal favourite and looks good in any situation. Nice wrist shot. Happy New Year !

Hello Teutonic! A Submariner is always a great choice!

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 8th, 2023-13:14
The no date version is my favorite too. Hagwe! Abel

A classic with a great wrist presence!

Good to see this one InHavenPro, something different for us here. Have you had this one for long ?

Since 2018....

 
 By: InHavenPro : January 8th, 2023-15:25
so it's been a decent amount of time. It was the last one that Anthony had left in stock, so I was truly fortunate to be able to get one! Cheers, Filip

Just two year-to-date…

 
 By: RabidManatee : January 8th, 2023-02:30
I have and occasionally wear others, but I’ve been alternating between this duo as of late — one I purchased about 12 years ago and one I purchased about 9 months ago. Perhaps it’s time for a little bloodletting? We shall see… Best to all here for the new...  

Could this be the perfect combination …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 8th, 2023-09:51
Excellent start to 2023 RabidManatee. Two watches to cover any situation in life. Happy New Year !

Happy New Year Wachnut …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : January 8th, 2023-10:22
I had a good festive holiday, thank you and I hope you enjoyed it. The Sinn U1 is certainly a proper tool watch designed for pilots. I personally like the design as it’s a different take on the typical design. Looks good on your wrist. Best regards Captai... 

 
 By: Wachnut : January 8th, 2023-16:08
Thanks Capt ! , Sinn has come up with quite a few variations for the U1 and this is one of my favourites indeed

Happy New Year Wachnut!! Beautiful Sinn diver you choose.

 
 By: Subexplorer : January 8th, 2023-13:23
Though Sinn is well known for their pilot watches I see here they make some wonderful divers as well. Love this particular model with a lot of character! Hagwe! Abel

 
 By: Wachnut : January 8th, 2023-16:05
Thanks dear Abel , yes this is one of my favourite divers and have had it for the past few years but never gets old for me at least 😊

HNY again to all our friends and members here in this wonderful place! And in this case the selection of the watches I want to present is very easy for me. Two watches essentially determined my last 14 days. 1. There is my new love, the Patek 5164R, which...

 By: 198042 : January 8th, 2023-17:04
sponsored by the Zurich merchants and hotels. Up again after 2 years Corona suspension and against the green opposition. Could be, that this was the last year it was politically feasible to hold them. Cheers and all the best for 2023 to you Richard ...
