I wonder what watch you would need with a breast pump?
Having been a manager in a large department where we dedicated one room just for "pumping" and it wasn't quite soundproofed enough ... I am just wondering; don't get any ideas!

Wristscan for week #37 is starting now!
Dear Purists, here goes my wristscan premiere - and as announced earlier this week, the theme is 'free'. Looking forward to a raft of interesting pieces, in places and situations of your choosing (food is optional but not to be discouraged). If you would ...
Two watches I haven't worn, or posted, for some time.
With food, as KM requested. Also with food, as KM requested. ...
Do I not recognise both from Zagreb?
Wonderful shots, Padj! And I have to say that the Foudroyante looks almost WG in some pictures - interestingly done As for food - maybe I will regret my own gentle hints - especially since there is no more food scheduled for today (and since I anticipate ...
Thank you, my friend.
The 1815 did not accompany me on my world tour in June. It's actually been in hiding since February.
Well, I guess...
I prefer a fully working brain if I must choose. But best to keep both
I think you chose wisely.
There are glasses for the eyes but none for the brain! But yes, better to keep them both.
So let's make sure...
We drink grappa and not the industrial cleaner we got sample last time in Zagreb, so as to protect both brain and eyesight
Shutting down the factory for the day, K? May I torture you . . .
. . . with this morning's breakfast? Leftover baked potato from last night's supper at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, sautéed in avocado oil with green onions, and my favored blend of Ethiopian with Kona coffee. And yes, it is rather late . . . . . . owing to...
Wonderful!
As I will not lose weight as suddenly as my wife soon will, I need to prepare more thoroughly - i.e. by skipping dinner. Not easy but helpful, especially as it means I eat lunch each day now Your late breakfast does look truly delicious, though. As does t...
Gotta love Connies! . . .
. . . as we say in 3-ball about aces, "Tough to tie . . . . . . impossible to beat."
That's the Zagreb GTG you sadly could not make...
But luckily there is always a next time
Thanks, Georges.
The flying saucer has been getting a lot of wrist action so it was time to break out something else.
Two great watches 👌🏻 think i have a small pref for the AL&S . Just a nice clean watch .
Love the pics with the Wrist,candy, 😉
Hmm, not shown for a while...?
How about not shown before at all? September, 14th, - 5 minutes! CC ...
Brilliant!
Is your EoT brand new, or what Nico likes to call a 'crocodile watch' - i.e. a piece you have had for a while but hidden away from prying eyes? At any rate a very nice one it is and a great choice! Thanks
OK - so the 'regular' crocs then!
In which case, congratulations on a fabulous new acquisition!
I am glad that it worked out for you :)
It's a very interesting watch by all means - hope to see it at some point soon
Nice photo of the P15, my friend! I'll go early with my contribution since I will be traveling for the next days...
... and today my free theme is 'watches I do not own (yet)', putting my hopes behind the 'yet' having some relevance 😉 Now here they are, and the picks will not be totally surprising to some of you. Going for understatement first, with a straightforward w...
I just corrected that 😉
A wrong cut and past. I had to pay my watchmaker for a service. Best wishes Alkiro
Well...
You do have two wrists after all, so sacrificing one for that watch is a price worth paying, no?
Great photos, Henrik.
The first two were to be expected, i guess, but this last one is crazy! The watch just jumps out of the computer screen!
Thanks for playing, Henrik!
I suppose the second one will be a matter of days (or I hope so for you) and the other two are close behind? Great and very diverse trio you have shown
That Hentschel is a beautiful watch 👌🏻😘
And that X watch is a big bold watch . (Sorry not for me ) Great pictures btw
Sll greatvwatches Henrik! Specially the BP tribute to...
... Mil Specs has been haunting me since I viewed first pictures in internet! I dream with it!! Hagwe! Abel
I very much look forward to seeing these Hentschel beauties in the metal one day, your pics are VERY nice but nothing better than seeing them in the metal...
In the meantime, please keep posting pics as your pics are always a delight for the eyes ;
'The GP is strong with this Wristscan'
A wonderful 1945 - so romantic and easily compensating for the somewhat reduced legibility with its sensual appeal. Great choice, Brauner! And food, too - well done
Cool shot!
And your text reminded me of one of my favourite sayings of my daughter these days (from Bubble Guppies) about the Secret of the Sphinx. What is the secret of the sphinx then? Nobody knows. I guess it can only be cute and fun if a three year old does this...
Ok, let me see.. What to chip in this week.. Decided to go with one Static & one WS.. Both are moderns, this time
ABR at Costa Amalfitana - Colors & A view to indulge.. This MIH joined just at beginning of this summer. Like its minimalism.. Cheers & HAGWE to all ! hs. ...
Two great entries, HS111!
Of two watches I truly like. While we already share an ABR, I still need to get the MIH at some point 👍🏻 Have a great weekend!
That's exactly what has been drawing me towards the MIH :)
I definitely like my watches under the radar...
The MIH looks wonderful
really like how it's simple appearance belies what it does. Cheers JML
The L1 in the tree and then on the rocks are beautiful photos.
Having just had lunch I am immune to your foodie shots. But I bet it won't just be Z who's drooling at this point.
My resolution is wavering...
With the menu on offer by you - I'll happily postpone skipping dinner for a long time! The Lange is a star for sure but so are all the other ones
You show some really awesome watches my dear Alkiro!!...
... all beautiful! But you know there sre two which make me daydream! One the Lange 1 already on my stable. The other the Breguet La Tradition Im in the hunt! Keep loving and enjoying your superb collection! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Thanks a lot my friend! I'm sure I will. Your yellow gold version case and dial is the one I like best. I feel it is the one which best represents...
... The heritage from the original pocket watch it is inspired in. I'm very near one All the best . Abel
I think it's the best choice but I'm a little bit biased 😁
Hope to see your new marvel soon my dear friend 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Here we go ...
KMII, First of all, congratulations for your first WristScan as Moderator. A watch that I seldom wear: JLC Master Compressor GMY Chronograph Ceramic: Big but nice on the wrist: A wonderful weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...
That watch is positively electric!
The blue is truly stunning, especially in combination with the ceramic. Thank you so much for your kind words, Nilo
Here three of my indie pieces for the Free (food & drink 😉 KMII )theme of this week .
The DeBethune The Urwerk My one off Staudt ( a new small dutch company ) ...
That's a spectacular effort!
Not only are the watches exquisite but you managed to pair each one with food, too 👌🏻👍🏻 Would be interested to learn more about the Staudt - seen it on IG but not much more. As for your DB - got some nice memories of that one 😊 Thanks for that 'different'...
Now I'm hungry with these Pavlova and burgers 🤤
And what about your timepieces. So so cool! This Staudt is impressive 😳 First time I see one 👍 What an entry my friend. Hats off to you! Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you my friend 🤗
I needed to do something ,,extra,,because you raise the bar so high for all other participants 😉 . Staudt is just a nice small company from holland with a Very kind and driven owner Ivo Staudt .
Had to investigate Staudt . . .
. . . after seeing your post. I'd never heard of them before. Very much to my liking; movement finishing is reminiscent of the Hamilton 921 movement . . . . . . in my long-departed RGM. Art ...
Another one you have not shared for a while, Art!
IIRC it was the dial you disliked on your RGM?
Difficult to dissect the reasons eight years on, K, but basically . . .
. . . it boiled down to my perception of its case design . . . a little more angularity and matte surfacing, and it probably would've passed muster. The movement view was the whole shebang; the rest, uninspiring. Funny thing is, it's roughly the same dime...
Thanks for clarifying, Art :)
I did vaguely remember something of the sort. I hope there is no such experience with your current Railmaster
Still have 'em, Nicolas! . . .
. . . and yes, the dial isn't exactly mesmerizing. This one's all about the rear view. Not just the movement , which I find delectable, but also the way it's packed into the case with not a millimeter to spare. Art ...
So close, though...
Just does not fully gel in practice. Wearing it Reverso style might help, though
I absolutely love your DB with this delightful salmon dial...
...and in the metal it looks even nicer than any picture. I remember trying it when we were together and these were great moments Best, Mike
Group shot for once
all with the same theme Not that I'm obsessed or anything HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Have you ever thought of exploring alarm watches? ;)
I think the area would prove interesting A great collection JML and a lovely picture
That's a very cute setting
feels like they are fighting for the front spot and shout" "Take me, take me..."
Thanks - there are even more vieing for attention
They may not be alarms - but they shout just as loudly Cheers JML
Thanks - happened more by accident than design
Which never a bad thing - allows for happy coincidences Cheers JML
Good memories from a very recent holiday...
Picture taken at the Rathaus Brauerei in Luzern. P.S.: they have very good beers indeed, but a not-so-good restaurant. ...
Thanks for joining with your piece unique, Pureswissmade349!
It's a lovely picture of your watch and the atmosphere is very cool. Too bad about the food but if at least the beer compensates, all is good, I guess
That's quite an unusual wrist shot.
You had help, right? Or are you double-jointed? Like that watch.
The story of that shot...
Hi Padj! No, I haven't hypermobility! ;-) :-D My better half was playing with my reflex (while I was tasting her beer...) and she suddenly ordered me: "Stay like that!" The original picture had a landscape shape, but I preferred to crop it obtaining an up...
Not worn for long time..
but not forgotten Some food beverage shots from recent and not so recent past HAGWE henry ...
An Ebel, a Grand Seiko, a Breguet and two Tudors?
Simply wow 😳Great and very diverse menu you have served up, Henry - congratulations 👍🏻
Will do so - thank you :)
And I hope your varied menu will keep you entertained at least over the weekend, too
Never participated for a while..
Too much coffee, my hands shaking A simple oldie for the weekend Good weekend to all Cheers ...
Thanks for joining in, KCKL!
And a lovely coffee / watch combination you have shown! Wishing you a great weekend
Definitely one of my favourites, this one :)
Thanks for these wine grape pictures, Livius - they are sublime
Bond....James Bond
A static picture of the iconic Rolex Submariner 6538 " Big Crown". Similar watch which was used in James Bond's "Doctor No"... This one is from 1959 with a gilt dial that has some very slight crackling/spiderwebbing, a nos bezel (the original was lost loo...
Wonderful piece!
I guess it may set off the odd scanner at an airport but it is so charming - great shot!
When James Bond was still James Bond...
I hope this Daniel Craig era will end asap. Please bring back some humor!
Hello dear KM! Great shot of our beloved P15 to start...
... this WS edition you are hosting! I'll play with a watch I bought a few years ago that had been sitting inside my safe for many months. I feel it's a shame so I put in use last week and it remains in my wrist now and will keep it during next days as we...
Thank you so much my friend Padj!! Merit not mine...
... as this is the original OEM straps which came with this watch! Very appropriate I feel! Hagwe my friend! Abel
I knew you would provide some spectacular pictures Abel - as always
The Oris Diver Sixtyfive is a great watch and a very fair offer in many ways. While I am fully with you in terms of the date - at least the original from the 1960s had one too - there was no no-date precedent. And it is much more pleasantly integrated on ...
Thanks a lot for your always so kind comments my friend!...
... yes though I prefer non date watches this feature doesn't weigh so much in my purchase decisions. I just like or not like the watch. I've never paid attention to date in my watches and as a matter of fact almost never set the date in my own watches ex...
You're welcome, Abel!
That's a great way to wear your watch - i.e. not setting the date Makes things more relaxed...
Oris knows how to make proper divers.
And this one is especially cool, with the vintage look going.
Wonderful Gallet Chrono, Alain!
Such a lovely picture, reminding me of a simpler past Have a great weekend!
I see you've had yours suitably 'orangified' :)
It's certainly you now Great piece, the P15!
And going for Groenefeld in style, Tyler!
Spectacular piece! I have only seen their 8 seconds remontoire live but what a watch! Have a great weekend!
That's a stunning one !
Everytime I see a Grönefeld watch, I just cannot stop smiling as I think of Tim & Bart and the fantastic moments we spend together each time. These 2 brothers are amazing and make amazing watches ! Wear yours in the very best of health !
The watch is lovely!
Am I to understand that the weekend is imminent then? Great shot and have a good one, Tyo!
Watch with food
As a babymilk cooler you need a robust watch like the Breitling Avenger. ...
Now this has got to be one of the coolest shots!
Will soon follow you into the bottle phase again. Matter of days 👍🏻
It's the second time...
So I basically have an idea what awaits us The surprising element will be how the older one reacts to her sibling... Will see soon enough!
Cool shot
in Brazil is quite the opposite: thats how we warm the baby milk! Reaching 35 C today...
Like many things related to children...
Like toys or mums, daddies need to like them, too
I wonder what watch you would need with a breast pump?
Having been a manager in a large department where we dedicated one room just for "pumping" and it wasn't quite soundproofed enough ... I am just wondering; don't get any ideas!
What a lovely Olimpico, Blomman!
A spectacular watch for the WS Have a wonderful weekend!
Again...
.. my latest acquisition ) Just a weekend, leisure watch, but it does more than its job... HAGWE! Ken ...
Congratulations on your latest acquisition, Ken!
A very interesting piece, with the 'rocking' chrono activation. How are you finding its use in practice? Wishing you a great weekend, Ken
Missing Chrono One, short of PPro edition, ...
.. I have been looking for a decent Chronograph, which is missing from my shrinking collection box. I will still keep looking but this one is interesting enough and very nice for a relaxing time... Sure, I do not own a car, but what the heck! The "pusher"...
Thanks a lot for sharing your impressions, Ken :)
Definitely looks like a fun piece. Have a great weekend!
Well, there's little racing to be done on public roads these days...
So I fully understand the decision to get the racing machine for the wrist instead
Yup. Let alone the race is getting far more quieter than it used to be, I head...
.. namely, manufacturers leave WEC and join Formula E.... I have no idea how fun it is..... ) Ken
Great start to Saturday morning!
That GP is simply great - and the grey strap works really well
I love the way you pose "her?" in so many different ways.
Hope she doesn't feel exploited. BTW, this gray strap is terrific.
Many thanks
Turned on the "rolex produces the best watches period" mood this week. I consider that perhaps a white dialed one should be more appropriate for the sunny and super warm weather though
Now that's definitely a new one - congratulations Cazalea!
I see you have gotten yourself one of the most fascinating and beautiful modern GOs Congratulations on this great piece and may it be more reliable than your whiskey 'bottle'. Thanks for this beautiful entry!
Thanks - though it is not so very new
I got it in May but must have had other things to post about then. I've been wanting one for about 4 years but the time was never right before to buy. This was a swap that worked out. First photos: Mike ...
A lovely QP, Mike!
Not too late at all and thanks for participating! Wishing you a great Sunday
Probably yes, but this one is blue my friend !
