WristScan

. . . ever. Casey was our Photography Forum moderator for many years until his passing in February. I had relatively few interactions with him but he was a valued colleague, always willing to help judge this theme of Personal Best at least three, maybe fo...  

We expect viewing some awesome pictures from our participants during the weekend. Thank you for taking the hosting and judging this weekend my dear friend. Will return later with my choices. Best cordial regards, Abel

...  

. . . and chromatic sensibilities, Yacomino. Thanks for participating! Art

Good composition and use of colour.

And as always with the perfect strap pairings 👌🏻👍🏻

His annual top 10 had been a fixture that I would not miss. A gentleman, generous with encouraging comments and tips. I am joining with pics all taken in Japan, in remembrance of Casey.. ...  

. . . but that shot of Snoopy with Mt Fuji in the background - simply 'wow'. Impressed, Art

… really left me speechless!! Great shot my dear friend!! Hagwe! Abel

The last 2 for me, please and that No.3 Snoopy watch & Fuji-San picture truly is sublime, and also something I am sure, that makes you smile, in fact always, when you look at it !! - Chapeau !! HAGWE & Best PS: the Snoopy Fuji-San shot, almost needles... 

It was fortunate for me to see Fuji-san in all its glory during my recent trip. Your entries this week, esp the XX and 6542 are dream for any vintage collector!

I’m sure Casey would have appreciated your photos.

Is truly mind boggling 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻 The others are fantastic shots as well 👍🏻

Three of my favorite shots; Pre Vendome Mare Nostrum Panerai chronograph Froggy falling in love with Kermit: Water drops on Panerai Pam 425 Have a nice weekend my dear Art and again Big Congrats on your 35 K post milestone!! Cheers! Abel ...  

.. my fav is the last, almost artisan shot with the water drops on the PAM 425 ! - Bravo !! - Furthermore I had to smile with the green Kermin frog & the crown; great watch as well ! 😊👌 And last but not least the cool set-up of a pretty rare watch, of... 

I´m glad you like the Panerai with water drops shot which was a lucky shot after many trials. Kermit in love is a fun shot with a toy from my little grandchild. Lol! I was wearing my Kermit when I viewd my little child playing with it and I ask him to len... 

... our watch related hobby and that is part of the enjoyment of them. Have a beautfiful weekend my dear friend. Abel

. . . resides in the friendships made possible by the existence of the internet. In all of history, the two of us would never have met and become as close as we have in the last ten years. ;-) ...  

. . . but an rg chronometer is essential. ;-)

… and I look forward to a new meeting in a not far occasion. These two watches you show here will be together again I hope!! Thank you so much for your friendship dear Art! Enjoy a great weekend!! Abel ...  

. . . and will start wearing it later today after a long absence from my wrist. Hope you're enjoying yours often, Abel! Warmest, Art

That last photo of your Panerai is a great action shot. Best regards Captain

I wish you are enjoying a pleasant weekend my dear Captain! Best cordial regards, Abel

Great shots indeed. I particularly like the Mare Nostrum and obviously the water shot of your PAM 425. Kurt. 🍻

All very well chosen and composed 🙌🏻

I wish you are enjoying a nice and relaxed weekend! Best cordial regards, Abel

. . . because they're intrigued by the ticking sound. A frog paying homage to Kermit is in another league altogether. 🐸

The three I think of, not only as highly personally appealing, but can imagine Casey seeing artistic integrity and aesthetic value in them as well.... I will always remember him very fondly. Filip ...  

I see it as the most aesthetically appealing as well! The obvious reason I posted the other shot first is the historical tie with the car dash instruments ....

😊😊

Cheers, Filip

And I have to say the second shot is my favorite 👌🏻👍🏻

. . . between us." Him: "Well, maybe just my JLC."

didn't know Casey,but read his posts here over the years and enjoyed them very much. Here's three shots that might have some merit Have a great weekend going through the submissions! ...  

I particularly like the last one.

Hagwe! Abel

glad you liked the Bulova

. . . this was coming. ;-) Outstanding composition with your Bulova Static, Henry. Impressed, Art ...  

A kind man, a gentle soul, and a gentleman first. ...  

Great additions for their rarity and individuality 👌🏻👍🏻

Particularly in your second shot 👍

. . . and we were fortunate to have him with us for as many years as he was able to share. 😌

...  

I don't remember these gems with the pig leg and lox 😄😆

Reminds me of Lyon, good memories. Love the tower.

. . . on WPS and goes way back, at least ten years!

. . . . . .

Real eye candy !

It motivated me to buy this whole leg... ...  

😉 Although I didn‘t have the pleasure to have known Casey, I appreciated some of his comments and contributions to the Photography Forum - but no pics in that aspect, Sorry to say.. Either way I‘ll tip my beret to this gentleman !.. Here, as requested jus...  

I will always remember our stroll from the Jardin du Luxembourg into Rue Madame and this „treasure package“ we discovered there.. - But I also remember our mutual phone-calls, where you so kindly confirmed and advised me, ( even during congress sessions !... 

The Type XX and Rolex are signature shots of yours, while the Breguet I might be seeing for the first time - albeit that makes it no less special 👌🏻

Have a great remainder of the WE and a good upcoming next week ! - Best, dear KMII to you & yours !! 😊😊

I just hope there are no floods in the way home 🤞🏻

But arrived home safely and it all seems well here, too 🤞🏻

Your Rolex Ref. 6542 looks particularly cool.

And of course your 6542 and viewing its superb condition. And I must confess that your Breguet Triple Calender would make me a very happy man!! Nice shots to honor Casey and to share those wonderful timepieces. Keep enjoying and loving them so much my dea... 

Have a good start into the new week and all the Best to you & yours, dear friend !! 😊😊

Being relatively new here as far as I remember, I have not had any direct interaction with Casey. However I would still like to participate with three favourites of mine, 2 recent 1 slightly older. Sincerely, Kurt. ...  

I am particularly fond of the water distortion photo. Very clear water that day.

Thank you very much.

All very different, yet portraying the watch superbly 👌🏻👍🏻

A worthy tribute.

Have a great weekend! Abel

Thank you so much.

. . . written all over it. 😌

Volcanic landscapes are great.

...  

Love the watch.

. . . by your entry. Thanks for joining in today! Art

While my photography skills are not to be ever mentioned in the same sentence as Casey’s, here still some of the shots I have liked over the past years… In addition to the three, a small memento. While I have not known Casey very well we have on occasion ...  

Especially the blue gloves. 👌🏻🍺

And good to hear your memories of Casey.

But he was such a kind gentleman 👍🏻🙌🏻

. . . the same theme last year. He'd judged 'Personal Best' at least two, possibly three, times before, and had previously spent a good deal of time posting decisions. The last time, though, his calls seemed perfunctory. Now that I know he was seriously i... 

I´m sure this blue straps Seiko has an special place in your collection! Enjoy a pleasant and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Abel

Thanks so much Abel! Took me almost seven years to find that one and Casey helped on the journey. Wishing you a great weekend as well 👍🏻

...great combo with backdrop. Will have to re visit my GS soon

Find that watch shots only got worse after the iPhone 10 🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe it’s just me 😉

Have really made the Doxas stand out incredibly well!!

Captain’s has a much higher artistic merit, though 👌🏻

...  

. . . in your back yard, Greg! Thanks for sharing. Art

Sunset in Hawaii Morning after the rain Another sunset but in California ...  

It’s all about the spirit of sharing our photos in this tribute to Casey. I particularly like the last shot of your JLC at sunset.

. . . with a setting sun as the background. Cool shots, Loujo - thanks for honoring Casey with your submissions. Art

We will all miss Casey, he was a gentleman and one of our own. I personally enjoyed discussing cameras with him and he always freely shared his knowledge and experiences. This is my personal selection of photos and I hope he would have enjoyed them… Doxa ...  

Enjoy your weekend so much my dear friend!! Abel

I had difficulty choosing for this special occasion. Best regards Captain

It’s a charming photo.

The next wave was massive ! The Ed White photo was difficult to get just right.

But the Doxa really stands out for me 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Doxa in the surf, love it!!

It's been a long time since I posted last time. After I left here, I have been away from internet forums (and I do NOT use or see any type of SNS). I am back here today only because this is about our dearest friend, Casey. Thought I should share with you ...  

I absolutely remember many of our online interactions, both public and private. Quite obviously, no objective blame is yours to shoulder - his health deteriorated unpredictably rapidly, and that is tragically a part of life. Time, sooner or later, gets to... 

Hope all is well. Thank you, Filip. Still on the west coast? I was there for Milken, but didn't have time to do anything else. Maybe next time....

I am still living in Santa Monica, right next to the beach. Please do let me know in case you end up visiting again foreseeably! Take good care, and feel better! Sincerely, Filip

So moving to read the story and thanks for having posted this here! I fully agree that there was little more you could have done - sometimes health deteriorates in unpredictable ways and it’s also very hard for the person suffering to predict what they ma... 

One day, I will see you somewhere in Europe! I am leaving for LN and Rome next week on business..... Miss you, man!

Let’s hope it works out soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

. . . as good as you, Ken. I'm sure Casey was thankful. Hope all's well with you, and that you've finally made peace with your memories of Casey. Art

Thank you, Art for letting me know of this Wrist Scan theme.

For all you did for Casey, for this forum, and for my wife and myself on our Japan visit (can it be nearly 10 years ago?) I'm sorry that the twists and turns of life and business raised barriers between some of us at this site, but nothing ever changed ou...  

You made me cry again! Thank you for posting these photos. Yes, it's been 10 years (about?) since you were here with your lovely wife (how is she? Please give my best to her). Time flies. Yes, I am not getting any younger, either. Both of my knees have be... 

Hi All Three of my favourites Cheers JML ...  

Well done & Cheers !! 😊😊

. . . in color, either. 😌 ...  

The last black and white photo is very cool. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Best regards Captain

Great shots of the watches, too 👍🏻

The first one is in honor of both Casey and Ken. Fedex left that annoying "We Missed You" note on my door, regarding Ken's shipment from Japan. Rather than wait, I drove across town and caught the driver just as he returned to the depot. Rather than wait,...  

is truly a one in a million chance . We are all the beneficiaries of it! Cheers Mike, Filip

The last photo is superb.
