Dear fellow purists, it’s my privilege to invite you to this week’s edition of WristScan with the theme Black & White. The idea is to share b/w shots of one or more timepieces, in case you don’t have any b/w shots ready: please take the effort to converti...

Big congratulations to your 200k+ postings. I have surely enjoyed reading and acquiring knowledge from you 🙏🏻

It is one of my favourite 🙂

Can’t take life too seriously sometimes (and this hobby as well), hence the profile photo 😬 You have beautiful B&W photos! The ‘fishy moment’ is stunning imo.

Makes me dizzy and gives me vertigo 🙃 I was told Rolex watches especially the Sports range are back at worldwide boutiques 🤓 and that funny looking Pepsi GMT on Jubilee jubilant can be had at slightly lower than suggested retail $🤑 What u had seen in the ...  

An icon needs nothing extra!

Looks cool 😎

Did u miss the pic of the lovely 1016 😅 My bad as the image did not show on my 🍎phone. Must have been due to Huawei attack 😬 Just kidding

...as I tried to upload the pic from a Beijing hotel room with an internet connection that's about half as fast as my 16kbps modem back in 1988. Surely Huawei infrastructure slowed down by Trump's henchmen ;-)

Just blitzed WristScan this weekend, Congratulations !.... Can you tell us more about how you ay carambacame to take this photo ?

Thankfully I am not so here it goes (even if costs me an illustrious victory in this week's Wrist Scan). The true accolades belong to a fantastic Japanese photographer who I admire named Hiro (Yasuhiro Wakabayashi). I own one of his books and simply place...

Here is a video submission. The tourbillon reminds me of a spaceship orbiting the earth which was perfect opportunuty for B&W Cartier Astrotourbillion: A Space Odyssey

The video was a pleasant surprise. Very nice!

Your 1st shot is top notch.

This one is on the wrist most days, including today. ...  

I added a little grain and mood using silver efex pro.

I'm also a Memovox fan although I do not own one.

Care to share some color photos of it with me?

Movado offered it a few years ago at about $3K retail and much less on the street. It should have been a big hit. No Zenith movement like the original, of course, but even if that were possible, it would have more than doubled the price. So, it has a 2894...

The black and whites are really artistic and even Iconic, the Doxa looks like a wrist sculpture. I have a few to share. Best to all. ...  

Well represented on two continents. Tim

Comfy? The lugs kind of throw me off though I've never had a chance to try one on or see one in person.

... And though agree with you the lugs are a bit akward looking the design follows the original design and wears comfortable as it is not a very big watch nor heavy. Im very happy with it. You should try it on your wrist though and feel it. You can choose... 

In B&W it looks like an original photo from the late sixties 👌
