Hello dear friends ! I have the great pleasure of hosting our WristScan theme “Style Icons” is now live ! Our theme is all about our stylish watches that for many have become iconic. Sometimes this can be the trigger that connects us with a watch and add ...
Just to start us off for this edition of WristScan, I’m posting a couple of Style Icons … Buzz Aldrin, what more do I need to say … Johnny Hallyday, was a French rock and roll and pop singer and actor, credited for having brought rock and roll to France… ...
Your first photo is an excellent example of two iconic legends, I really like the photo. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend. Best regards Captain
Top of my list is Steve. While i am not influenced by style icons, Steve is from a category out of space. I think he was cool and funny too. The stories about his watches and girlfriends are mind boggling. The drive carefully inscription is legendary. The...
I fully expect Bill to go for the Gold wearing 3 ploprofs on each arm but here's my modest attempt at honouring the master, doxa sub300 50th on shark mesh: ...
and that’s an excellent shot for our Static Shot category. Have you had this Sub for long in your collection ? Well played and thank you for joining us on WristScan.
The “red” SD is an awesome timepiece. Of course the Submariner/SD family can be associated with Bond. Never seen this particular model in other thing than the original Oyster (I also own this watch) but I feel the Bond Nato is a very interesting option to...
… dear friend KM!! You always share wonderful straps combos matching your well chosen clothes textiles. Fantastic!! All beautiful watches as usual. Your VC is a signature watch and I have said before how much I love that stunning dialed Raketa. And your C...
… bringing some noted style icons who inspire us. Here is my entry beginning with L’Avvocato Gianni Agnelli and his particular and well known custom of wearing his watches and his flair for choosing his outfits: My watch inspired by this recognized icon: ...
Not only my Hero but also inspires me to wear more than one watch at same time!! (I confess I often wear a watch on each wrist though never openly) Cheers! Abel ...
Glad you like that old Sub. Not in the best shape outside but its movement keeps working … as a Rolex! In spite of its 61 years of hard work. Hagwe my dear friend! Abel
... through a friend of mine. The original owner bought it in Cayman Islands in 1978 brand new then in a well known Jewelry store (though the watch was made circa 1971). The watch was in almost unworn condition when I bought it and I keep it in same condi...
Growing up in the 90’s, his character in 007 was filled with flamboyance, working with women sidekicks, and style. I admired my dad too. He was a sportsman, who wore a two-tone Omega Seamaster 200. The watch is not in a good condition anymore, and I have ...
Lighter I bought earlier this year. I was just fixing shoes at the cobbler and noticed he sold this Zippo 007 too. I’m very happy with the trimetal. Will try to put it on a rubber strap in a couple of days time. Have a good day Nico.
Congratulations on getting this Omega with all the memories that it brings with it. I like the watch and it definitely reminds me of the Brosnan style. The lighter looks interesting. Best regards Captain
.... how the Omega Seamaster came to be the "official" timepiece of James Bond. I was very touched with your reference to your Dad. I can fully understand your feelings and it is so nice you keep those memories of him and his favorite watch. You did well ...
Yes, I will wear it often, in good and bad times too. They represent more than time or luxury, but concentrated totems of emotions and moments which cannot come back.
Not for watches but for business reasons. I hope there will be some time for watches. On my way back I will go to Bvlgari in Neuemburg to take a watch to service. I think not that boring🥴
... among the first wristwatches and first worn by a pilot. Nice shots and interesting prop in the background makes that bike made with old ball bearings I guess. Have a nice week end! Best, Abel
i've hardly worn my business shirts this past 1.5 year and even when i have to return to the office, it's the polo-t. with this theme, at least they have the opportunity to be photographed ...
This classic Omega Bullhead definitely qualifies. The world has changed with the demise of very formal clothing in offices. Come to think of it …who needs an office 😬 Have a great weekend !
... and probably everything will change in the near future in the way we will work. I wonder if the brown dial of your Omega was originally brown or it is a "tropical" change as it happens with vintage Speedmasters? In any case a very special model from o...
. . . in the classical meaning of the term. Been a t-shirt 'n Lees kinda guy ever since I can remember. When I retired years ago, my suits were retired to the rubbish bin. So while I don't have a style icon in the classical sense of the term, there is one...
... model and it has the added bonus for me of being introduced in my birth year. Love the Hamilton movement on your RGM 222! And of course absolutely agree that Charlie is a gennuine style icon. Have a nice week end my dear friend! A big hug for you! Abe...
You have your own style and in my opinion that’s a good thing in life. Interesting to hear about Steve G and his influence on your collection. The Longines 30CH is certainly a special watch. The Omega 1894 is a stunning watch. Best regards Cap
. . . the predilection for Glashütte Original. But on a subliminal level, chronometry was the more compelling attraction. That's why I credit Steve G with having considerable influence on my collection: his site wove together a whole cloth from strands th...
on the more contemporary side. Got my A_Cold_Wall overshirt, shorts and Nike AirForce 1 x A_Cold_Wall trainers... keeping my old school Ipod Classic in its specially designed pocket for tunes... what else but a space age Ventura V-Matic to complete the fi...
Hi John, I see you are going for an urban style with an iconic iPod in your pocket. The Ventura V-Matic completes the look perfectly. Who influenced your look ? Best Captain
Many classic watches and landmarks have thrived the test of time and become iconic and almost instantly recognisable even by the laymen. I chose the following favourites for your Sunday viewing pleasure Enjoy! Best, Wayne Iconic watch against the most ico...
