My dearest friends! I have got the immense pleasure to host this week's round of WristScan, with the theme "Recognition". The theme was in my head, because of the movie "Behind the candelabra", a movie about Liberace's life, where Michael Douglas plays hi...
Just two little remarks, I love your โcorkโ - background shots ! And that Vintage LeCoultre DSA- US sometimes haunts me.. No wonder, as she has a sister ! Terrific shots, Monsieur JLC ! ( Using just one title). Best and HAGWE to you & yours, hs
... Memovox blue dial example of the new version of that classic JLC model. Big congrats my friend. Any of these classic and elegant watches on a gentlemanยดs wrist talks about some one who knows about fine timepieces and great taste. Stunning photographs ...
For deep knowledge I will enter my Langematik Sax-O-Mat that I purchased in 1998 and which is still with me. The reason is that this watch was presented to me in the end of 1997 by Mr. Lange and Mr. Blรผmlein during one of their events and I guess I was on...
The Lange because of the story behind it, BUT you get away with that show off as we all are happy for you to own such a special Lange. The Casio? Coooool !!!

Whilst it often receives attention and nice comments, it flies very much under the radar for most people. Only a watch person will recognise the unique style and function and be able to identity it. ADs usually offer a compliment which is nice. Regards Ke...
I do not usually โdress up โ that way but a few years ago I went into a watch shop in Lucerne and looked at some Ulysse Nardin, wearing this. A staff member came and launched into an explanation on how they are one of the oldest and most respected watch b...
A spectacular piece and even somebody without any knowledge in watches can tell that this piece is serious watchmaking. Funny, to see that how many of us do pick a special piece for a vist to the AD ... Thnak you for your top entry.
This is a watch I sold some years ago. I always wore it under a suit and long sleeve shirt and none of my coworkers, friends or family (aside from my wife) ever knew I owned it. I flashed it when away from home though, especially when checking into hotels...
... this watch and Iโm in the hunt for one. It epitomizes the Spirit of Breguet I feel and itโs a wonderful choice to wear on the wrist and tell the World you are a connoisseur and a man of great taste! I would like to play with a few watches I like to we...
Thank you for your kind words about the La Tradition. I am still in the honey moon period with her๐. Sorry to read that your hunt for a ceramic GMT was not fruitful yet. I cannot understand that a man like you, a serious collector and Rokex lover did not ...
... for this most extraordinary Breguet. I wish your honey moon with this beauty will last for a long long time. Regarding the Crramic Pepsi: I feel my charm as a passionate Rolex collector was not enough to touch the heart of the lady Director at the AD....
What a real horological fest, the AP alone would make a great statement, but then you throw in Vintage Rolexes, a Journe, a Speedy, and others... Got my attention, Dear Sire!!! ๐๐๐
I would love to see the Rolex AD when you arrive with your beautiful Submariner on ! Your FPJ is certainly a watch that impresses me ๐ฅ Have a great weekend my dear friend.
... it will arrive sooner or later as other horological priorities made me to suspend the hunt for a while. Glad you like my choices for this week end my friend. Have a nice Sunday! Best, Abel
... condition and the dial is in top condition and chocolate color is fantastic indeed. I feel your 1970ยดs Speedy with a grey ghost bezel looks awesome too. Thank you again!! Best. Abel
When I want a bunch of random dudes to talk to me I go to this And when I attend meetings for the visually impaired, the choice is clear. This for the โin-the-knowโ group And this watch, well, if it gets recognition I know itโs gonna be a good night! ...
Never looked into the movement. Looks like a small second movement, that has been altered into a central second? Or: the construction is to make a smooth movement of the central second hand possible?
Stowa used a UNITAS 2812. I tried digging around trying to answer your question and couldnโt find any real information. Given itโs size I would guess its your first guess but itโs hard to say and I am certainly not a watchmaker who can easily identify mod...
Trouble is, the dealers all know me and they aren't impressed no matter what I wear - I guess ah bin in this town too long :-( So this is the SBGW003 from 20 years ago - the Grand Seiko that lights my fire every time I wear it THE Chronometer from GO And ...

and for so courteously reminding me again you are in ARGENTINA not BRAZIL -- I started off writing in Spanish, then thought "No, Portuguese" and went to Google Translate to confirm the wording, and completely lost track of the country. My bad memory. Chee...
... and hoping that things do not reach similar levels. It has been a very very long confinement and we are exhausted with that. More than 150 days is too much! Thank you so much for asking my friend! Best cordial regards, Abel.

Hello dear Count and friends ! I hope that you have all had a safe and successful week. To answer the question of โRecognitionโ you first need to decide who you want to be โRecognisedโ by .... If itโs a case of size matters try this .... Recognised on a โ...
The champagne will be on me: That Patek, no better way to make a lasting impression on a watch guy: top! What is that star watch? Missed that one, unknown to me ๐ค ...

As I generally tend to choose my watches so that theyโre stealthy. But letโs see... If I want attention at an AD... If I want an interesting piece for a watch conversation... Have a great weekend and very cool theme! ...
Hi All For me it's wearing something that no one needs & is completely redundant. So . . . . Poljot alarm - cheap as chips and, but if you know you know. Cheers JML ...
. . . quite as arresting as the Omega . . . . . . from Argentina. Reference 2494 isn't all that rare as many were produced. This one, though, scores on account of being a chronometer. Most 2494 chronometers, like Tony C's, are fitted with cal 354 movement...
... behind this lovely watch. Iยดm happy to know you enjoy it so much my dear friend! Have a nice Sunday and week ahead and receive my Big Hug dear Art!
the Reverso TT1931 US Edition is a my go-to piece. The lack of logo and the subtle changes to the font and hands in this special edition means you really have to be in the know. But for those who are, it is always a conversation starter and I have had mul...
That Reverso is quite a rare one, not an expert in Reversos, but this one is plain to see to be rare. Feel free to show that lovely Cartier as often you can ๐.
... and classy timepiece. A lovely watch indeed. What a better example of the "Recognition" theme brought by our dear Host the Count de Monet? Thank you for sharing with us! Hagwe! Abel
