Wristscan “Dials” - Live ! ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-04:15
Hello dear friends, This weekend our theme is “Dials”, a theme very much on show from the various manufacturers new offerings this year. The first thing that most of us connect with visually when buying a watch is the dial, it could be the colour, the fin...
That’s a good shot ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-05:22
Did the dial feature in your decision to buy this one ?
I love the Reverso

Not sure I have seen this dial version of the PC before 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Yes, definitely loved the dial!
By: eklektik : April 9th, 2021-06:58
I like that the small second is off-centered which is unusual and on a square sub-dial (it matches the main square dial). I like that the dial is guilloché (guilloché-ed inenglish? ). I like the very useful 8-day power reserve with its special "porthole" ...

By: eklektik : April 9th, 2021-07:01
Good shot ! ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-06:29
Your Patek Philippe dial looks good.
Thank you for your kind complement!
By: ZSHSZ : April 10th, 2021-14:07
I must admit that the pure, simple, classic design was the reason I chose the not so popular white dial... Your black dial is just stellar, maybe somewhere down the road you might add the white as well;-))) Have a great weekend!

The black enamel is quite tough to capture nicely
Here is my first attempt at WS...
By: pfang56 : April 9th, 2021-07:00
Aventurine on an AP - apologies for the novice try - this dial is nearly impossible to photograph ideally. Cheers Peter ...
Welcome to WristScan ! ....
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-07:10
That’s my favourite dial on the AP. Can you tell us anything more about your decision to buy this beautiful dial ?
Thanks for the feedback!!
By: pfang56 : April 9th, 2021-07:41
I had a chance to attend a complications event with AP and was intrigued by some of the more traditional novelties in the Royal Oak variety, including many of which have been launched very recently. In parallel, we got an introduction to the CODE line, an...
Superb!

and looking forward to the next ones...
Appreciate the feedback!!
By: pfang56 : April 11th, 2021-08:06
As a first timer it's been fun and cool to share the dial in WS - funny how it's probably been...over 10 years since I've lurked since the days of TP - looking forward to seeing how to participate in the future. Peter
Welcome to WS!
By: KMII : April 11th, 2021-01:18

Possibly!

Good selection of dials for our theme this weekend. Which on is your personal favourite ?
Good answer Tim ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-14:06
The Speake-Marin Piccadilly is a special piece. Have a great weekend 🥂
Thank you Abel!
By: Tim Jackson : April 10th, 2021-12:30
yes, I took a "flyer" on Aleksandr's work and jumped in. Initially it was going to be a blue dial, with polished steel hands, but the blue color he came up had too much purple in it for my taste. As I had seen the raw brass dial prior to coloring, I asked...
Fantastic selection!
By: KMII : April 11th, 2021-01:27

Hello dear Abel ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 9th, 2021-14:37
Dials really are the soul of our watches. The green dial Daytona is truly spectacular and for me the one that got away. That’s a story for another time ! Beautiful vintage pieces that you are sharing with us and patina is another subject that we should co...

You are right, I should start hunting.
By: th.gr.ga : April 10th, 2021-11:38
The more I think of it, it may well be my favourite Rolex dial of all time. Many will likely not agree, but I am deeply partial to the frosted texture and find it a wonderful way to showcase the unique properties of platinum in a restrained manner.
A fantastic range Abel...

Great theme this week Captain. I immediately thought of this dial. Sometimes it looks black, sometimes it looks blue. At most times, it cannot be easily defined. ...
Thanks Nico
By: Cookies : April 10th, 2021-04:31
This piece I have grown to like a lot, as it slips under the radar and no one knows what it is. Sometimes I lament that it’s movement finishing reminds me of the back of a CD.
The Grand Seiko ...
By: Cpt Scarlet : April 10th, 2021-03:09

Yes it is my first GS

I didn’t intend to buy it at first, but somehow the boutique in Sydney brought this US exclusive for a trunk show, and left it behind to sell, and I got the chance to get it. It was almost an instantaneous decision due to the unusual hue of the dial, and ...

It's quite a long story but it started as a simple Vingt 8 illusion
By: Patekphilippecollector : April 10th, 2021-03:25
When I met Kari I explained that I would actually like a PR on the watch as it's a manual wind. He then had a picture on the CAD of one he was designing for another client and I said that's what I want. It added another CHF 8000 to the bill. The guilloche...
Thank you for sharing your experience ...
