Timeout

Many thanks Abel!
I’ve recently traded up to an iPhone 13 Pro Max and enjoying the built in camera. For an old timer like me who remembers “developer and fixer” the technology in todays smartphones is staggering and the results amazing. Having said that, it always helps to have a beautiful subject and the DB 25 is a dream to photograph with so much detail and texture on the dial side!

Hello dear friends, We are now live for our first theme of the year at WristScan ! Our theme is a relatively simple one and all about the watches that you chose to enjoy this week and for the coming weekend. It will interesting to see if the new year spur...
Let’s get started ! …
Hello dear friends ! After last year, it’s good to start the year with fresh hope, enthusiasm for life and a little horological pleasure for us all 😉 I started the week with a watch that always gives pleasure in a subtle and discrete sense, but with class...
A super selection for the start of 2023!
Something elegant, something strong, and something cool! 😉
Thank you and Happy New Year …
Can you share your choices with us for the start of 2023 ?
Good afternoon Captain
Many thanks for hosting this first WristScan of 2023. I started the New Year with a bang - the DB25 Starry Varius GMT I then switched to the JLC Duometre Chronographe for return to the office. Followed by the Moser Streamliner Perpetual And today the JLC ...
Starting the year in considerable style !
Wow, I absolutely love the design details in your beautiful DB25 Starry Varius GMT. I can remember that days when DB started out making exceptional watches and have admired their work ever since.
Many thanks Captain
The DB25 range really captured my attention and the GMT version of the Starry Varius ticked all the boxes for me. The color of the blued titanium is unique - unlike anything else I’ve ever seen. The attention to detail is exceptional - I particularly like...
Wow !.. That is a big Bang for a great Start with your DB25 line and GMT version.. All that Blue is simply breathtaking !..
For me a clear winner series of pics, also some with superb details on those Super Zooms.. Well done & Chapeau ! Best, hs.
Many thanks HS
I’m really enjoying watching DB as they evolve, and also start producing some smaller watches in the DB25 line - the new 40mm Perpetual in particular. It’s good to see the independent sector of the market so vibrant these days!
Hello Timeout!! What a wonderful start of year 2023 !!
The DB is awesome! Your stunning shots leave me speechless! Wow! Same with that wonderful JLC Duometre. Wow again!! Not to mention your Moser and Reverso to complete your awesome choices. Great shots to share them with us. Have a great New Year 2023! Best...
Many thanks Abel!

My big pleasure Timeout! I can well understand you as I´m also an old timer with experience in developing and fixing which was a hobby in my young years in the 1960's through...
... 1990´s. Then I switched with great pain to digital cameras in the earlies 2000´s and later to the I Phone camera which has became my favorite tool to shoot watches in the last say three or four years. Of course has some limitations compared to a camer...
A fantastic, eclectic selection, dear Timeout!
I especially like your DB25 and the fantastic pics you made of it. Your JLC Grande GMT 8 days awakens nostalgic feelings in me. I owned this gem. And was stupid enough to sell it to fund another watch. Cheers Thomas ...
Hello dear Captain! Happy New Year to you and all our friends here!! Wow! I didn´t know you had already catched the new 60 Years Bond SM!! Great addition to your collection! Big Congrats!
LE and CK 859 are two other excellent watches to wear during these first days of the new 2023! Look forward to a very enjoyable First WS edition of 2023 with many awesome entries from our participants. Will return later with my choices for present week an...
Hello dear Abel …
I thought the 60th Anniversary Bond SM would catch your eye. Or should that be Golden Eye 😉
Ha ha ha!! My Golden Eye for sure ! Lol!
I’m happy for your catching of this watch dear Captain and I can imagine you sre enjoying it so much. Hagwe! Abel
Good afternoon Captain.
Repetition is unavoidable with a modest collection but I find myself reaching for and enjoying the Bronzo more and more. It’s also far more photogenic than the owner. 😉 Have a cracking weekend. Cheers 🍻 Kurt ...
The warmth of bronze …
Hello and Happy New Year Kurt. I completely understand your love for this Tudor. I have a blue dial version and always enjoy it. Will you keep it on for the weekend ? ...
Happy New Year Kurt! I can understand your love for the Tudor BB Bronzo!
You share it in a superb shot with the sunlight adding a warm glow to the charm of this watch. Hagwe! Abel
Happy New Year Abel!
Yes, taken late afternoon when sun was low in the sky. All the best, Kurt.
Thank you so much Kurt for your kind greetings! Same to you! Ah yes, I imagined that it was a late afternoon shot giving that "golden" hue to this nice shot.
Keep enjoying your Tudor so much! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks for hosting this first WS of the new year .
Currently have a limited amount of pieces to choose from. Here a few that i can choose from. Hope these aren’t a bit boring for you all 😉 HAGWE 🙏🏻🤗 ...
Beautiful watches glinting in the sunshine …
Happy New Year Watchonthewrist. How could such a superb and diverse selection ever be boring. Which have you been enjoying most ?
Happy New Year Spangles…
This superb watch has my attention and certainly has my attention this weekend. The short lugs make such a difference on the wrist. Hope you can post a few more photos of it this weekend.
For sure, but I think a few purists have put in orders for one!
I think this is a very wearable watch that's meant to be a daily. Particularly in white metals, it flies under the radar--although I couldn't resist the 22k. Have a good year!
Thanks, Happy New Year and have a good weekend!
I appreciate it, this is a very nice watch to wear.
You are welcome Spangles! A very nice watch to wear indeed.
Thank you for your kind greetings for the new year!! Same to you! Cheers! Abel
I think for me it will be two new entries.
The first I just think it looks so cool and really enjoy wearing it, while the second I only just bought this week! 😆 I finally used my real camera on the first but just the humble iPhone on the second. ...
Congratulations on getting the Explorer 👏👏👏
You just cant go wrong with one of these in your collection. The IWC with tje green design details and matching strap looks incredible. How long have you had this one ?
A long time coming and thank you!
When I first saw this IWC I just fell in love with the colour, the titanium case, movement, and strap (and had also been a big F1 fan back during the Schumacher/Hill era). Immediately contacted IWC to be put on the wait list back in late August, and by mi...
It looks very cool …
The Schumacher/Hill era was certainly exciting times for F1 and I have found memories of meeting both great drivers.
Wow!
I remember when McLaren dominated from the Australian grand prix onwards to a point when it got a little ridiculous. It was amazing, I think that was 1997-8? I was always rooting for Damon as a fellow Brit and could not believe he switched to Jordan (noth...
Williams were a strong team at the time
Patrick Head always said that Damon wanted a significant increase in his contractual salary and this played a part in his shock departure.
I remember that money played quite a significant part in his decision, but he did help raise Eddie's team profile and won their first race for them which was amazing.
I also remember how McLaren were always classed as the villain while Ferrari quite the opposite. The former did have the best cars then, but they were so good that there was no competition, at least for a while.
Big congrats in your new addition to your collection. This is the new 36 mm version I presume... I love this watch, so classy and versatile! Enjoy it so much! Nice shots to share your choices...
... for the first days of the New 2023! Hagwe, Abel PS: The IWC is a great and awesome watch and I love the straps you have chosen for it!
Thank you so much Abel!
I quite enjoy the history, elegance, simplicity, and understated look of this watch. I did try for the current version but remains impossible with any AD so had to settle for the 114270, which I was very lucky to find with all original paperwork, etc, and...
My big pleasure KCLQMULKU! You did well in getting this Explorer. I own the same, bought brand new in 2008 and it was the watch to started my journey as a watch collector so...
... I have an special attachment to this watch which brings me so much pleasure on my wrist. I specially like this model in the 36 mm version and I was happy to know decided to reintroduce this case size in their catalog. I´m sure your 114270 will not dis...
Hi. After several days of heavy rain
I started the week enjoying the sun with my CFB. Now heading to the weekend with my oldest “real” watch. Happy Three Kings day. ...
Welcome and good to have you with us this weekend …
Your CFB with the beautiful blue sunburst dial is just what you need after a few days of rain. It’s good to see your oldest watch, how long have you had the Zenith ?
16 years. The oldest watch I have
it was a gift from my parents some 40 years ago. Sentimentality priceless. ...
This is how I started 2023, with the 5402 A-8xx
…. and yes, it says „31“ but I was still wearing it on „1“ … and actually still today (Jan 6) Cheers, HSTE ...
Happy New Year HSTE …
Sublime AP and very cool way to start the new year. Is this one becoming a favourite in your collection ?
Happy New Year 🍀
The 5402 are my favorites (luckily, I still have a few after the black one has gone … 😉). But then, others if in „sporty mood“…..
Hello dear friend, great theme to start the year!
This weekend it’s the Pepsi with a touch of blue. Also included the watch I wore this past week… Also got this new blue suede strap for the up/down Sometime you need more then 1 coffee to wake up during the holidays… ...
Happy New Year dear friend …
That’s quite a start to 2023 and I absolutely love the blue/grey strap combo on your Lange.
Great choices to accompany you on your wrist during these first days of the New Year 2023 dear friend Yacomino. Your Pepsi GMT looks wonderful with those blue straps and an interesting...
... option to change the looks of this great watch. Love the UP Down Lange a watch that had been haunting me for long. Both of your Panerai choices are among my favorites too and the Explorer is the right option always. Have a great year my dear friend. B...
This PAM 662
is still one of the most beautiful Panerai ever made. Just my HO. Cheers Thomas

Looks good and …
It’s interesting to hear you get lots of comments and compliments on it
thank you Sir, and yes indeed...
it is interesting, after wearing so many different types of watches over the years why is this getting the most attention? I think its the unusual complication on the dial of two halves of the globe, the overall steampunk effect of the bronze and the comp...
Hello again dear Captain! My beginning of this year has been…
… very eclectic considering the watches I had in rotation starting with my old custom (since about 1981) of wearing my gold Date 1500 every December 31 and January 1st : Then I changed for the Speedmaster new 321 Ed White: Followed by my Pam 424 No Date v...
Hello dear Abel and welcome ….
Your Rolex gold date 1500 has my full attention. Its a good looking piece in the classic Rolex style. Certainly a watch that I would be proud to have in my collection and enjoy. As for your other choices they are the true pleasure of our sport Variety is ...
Hello dear Captain! Thanks a lot for your kind comments on my choices and photographs which I appreciate so much. I´m happy you like this old gold Date which is a kind of "good luck" charm for me now.
It has grown vintage with me during all those long years (Lol!!) and it shows a soft patina in some corners of its case and also the charming riveted bracelet add to the vintage looks of this watch which was bought brand new at a local Rolex Ad around 198...
Great sentiment…
and I completely understand, the best watches in our collections should be all about the sentiment and not about the value.
