New launches..
Hello Captain!
We’re set for a relaxing but blowy start to the weekend.
As usual my Tudor is keeping me company throughout. 
I was hoping for some new Bronze watches from Tudor this year, alas not to be. 
Something rubber clad got my attention though!!
I’m smitten with the Black Bay 54 especially on the superb rubber strap. Cannot wait to try this one.
All the best for the weekend.
Regards Kurt. 🍻

WristScan Live ! …
Hello dear friends ! Our big community event is now live ! Simply show us the watch or watches that you are wearing this weekend and give us your thoughts on the new watches launched at Watches & Wonders, soon to be available. Several watches like my Milg...
Starting with …
Unfortunately Rolex have discontinued the Milgauss, a watch that is incredibly versatile and always admired. One of the new watches announced at Watches & Wonders that caught my eye was this beautiful Cartier … Back later with more thoughts Best regards C...
Hello again dear Captain! I join you with the Milgauss wearing this weekend and regretting its announced discontinuation. I hope that it will be replaced with a new Milgauss shortly.
This is a very special model in the catalog of Rolex and I think it should be mantained among the offerings of this brand. I love the stunning green dial of the Santos Dumont so much. A great choice you make here. Are you thinking in going after it? Have ...
Hello dear Abel …
The new Santos with its bottle green dial is very appealing and I’m going to see the watch as soon as possible to make my decision. I also try to make my collection as diverse and interesting as possible. I personally was fairly disappointed by many of th...
Thank you for your answer dear Captain! Looks like we share similar feelings about watches shown at W&W this year.
Of course I understand that it´s very important to view a new watch in the metal before deciding to go after it or not. Looking its details and how it looks on our own wrist can make a big different experience to what we felt when discovering it through p...
Hello dear Captain! Nice to have you hosting this weekend!
Also nice to have a relaxed event after a very busy week sharing our watches we expect to wear next two days and our thoughts around the novelties announced in W&W. I’m wearing today Friday my Explorer 1016 from 1965 gilt dial. I’ve been wearing it du...
Hello Captain! I would like to add another watch announced last days…
… which I missed to comment in my previous post. It’s the new Reverso Chronograph in steel. I really love this watch and this is a piece I would really love to add to my collection. Cheers! Abel ...
I love this new Reverso chronograph!
The front blue-grey dial looks superb, and the back is just so visually and mechanically sexy. Sadly the size will be too big for my skinny wrist, but it looks like a future classic.
I will be waiting to know your thoughts when …
… you see and try it. Guess it will take a lot of time to arrive to my land regret to say. I like the looks so much! Cheers Abel
Your epic Explorer …
I absolutely love the 1016 Explorer and yours looks magnificent in the photos. The the new Yatchmaster Titanium is very cool and one of the highlights from Rolex this year. As for the Tudor, I agree as it would look perfect with Mercedes hands. Best regar...
The gilt 1016 is so nice that...
People won't give a damn about the new one🍻🍻 the Pasha shot on the white cloth(?) is awesome too
Thank you so much for your kind comments saintseiyaikki…
… It is true that the vintage versions have a very special charm. I also own a modern version which is a practical daily wearer and I like it so much. But of course the vintage has a very special look. Glad you also like the steel Pasha. Backround is a ni...
Dear Captain, thank you for hosting this weekend's Wristscan!
indeed, the green dial Santos is also the watch that caught my eye when my Cartier SA sent me over 50 photos of Cartier's novelties! for this weekend, I'll be wearing my Parmigiani Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante. i love the simplicity of this watch which hides ...
It’s a pleasure to host WristScan for you 😉
Your Parmigiani Tonda PF GMT Rattrapante looks very good in your photos. I find the dial and hands especially alluring. I completely understand why you would order the Parmigiani Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante. Best regards Captain

Tudor static..
At Abel’s request 😉my static shot also taken earlier today. I’d also like to add this new launch from Zenith. This new Pilot is so crisp and clean! 🍻 ...
Thank you so much Kurt for following my suggestion!
I felt yours is a superb static shot which deserved to be shared here. Interesting this new launch from Zenith you are sharing here too. I haven’t seen it most probably received among the cataract of information around W&W received during this week. Looks...
Rough sea …
I love the power of the sea in your photos. Something bronze would have been good from Tudor but it wasn’t to be. Do you think you will go for one of the new Tudor BB54’s ?
If I like on the wrist…
The other half approves of the BB54 which is handy. 😉 Trouble is, I’ve got my eye on a GS too! 😀
Good afternoon Captain.
Wearing my Zeitwerk Striking Time right now. Watches and Wonders has been a bit if a mixed bag for me. I loved the updated IWC Ingenieur - my local AD is in Geneva and has the black dial on its way for me. This completes the trifecta of homages to the GG ...
Zeitwerk …
Powerful, striking in its design and beautifully photographed on your wrist. I completely agree with you, the Cartier Prive models were really beautiful this year and Rolex used titanium very successfully. Best regards Captain
Many thanks Abel.
I’ll be curious to see it too - but figured at 40mm it would wear similarly to the AP and Patek. I suspect if I’d waited to see it first I’d be looking at a substantial wait list! I was tempted by the aqua dial, but went for the classic black. Interesting...
I understand your point. I’m sure you made the right move.
You can’t go wrong with the black dial: a classic. Look forward to your post when you get your new watch! Best Abel
Dear Captain, thank you for hosting this immersive event.
If it would possible, I would like to take every novelty since ever home. just to own them all Every watch I saw was admirable for s certain reason. I think that everybody would like to own every release that was presented at each watch show. In real life...
Welcome to WristScan GDG25 …
I agree not rushing to buy a watch just based on the the initial photos and reviews is a good idea. We should try the watch on and handle it in the real world. Your Chopard Mille Miglia looks very good and reminds me of happy days at the Monarco Historiqu...
Dear Captain,
Its been a Mad week at W&W 🤯 I little bit disappointed about the new releases tbh . The one that surprised me the most was a new release from Chopard but wasn’t allowed to take some pics 🤷🏻♂️ ...
Hello dear friend …
That’s certainly MAD 😉 I’m in agreement with you, largely a disappointing W&W. Manufacturers are playing it very safe and in my opinion lacking in visionary design. What’s your considered opinion ?
Oris & Longrow
Hi Still with my Big Crown at the moment, but enjoying it with newly opened bottle of Longrow. As for W&W - most intrigued by the new BB54, but also pleased Rolex kept Explorer at 36mm despite introducing 40. HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Hello JML ! …
The new BB54 will be an interesting watch to see in the metal. Nice shot of your Oris Big Crown and Longrow … Cheers 🥃🥃
An alarming watch for the weekend
Wearing a recent arrival - a 1968 Citizen Alarm Date that came with the original bracelet. The bracelet is particularly good for this muggy, humid weekend, though a black tropic strap works too. It has very good wrist presence thanks to the 40.2mm size, a...
Hello NT931! Congrats on your new wonderful addition to your collection. Looks in great condition and I´m glad you are enjoying it so much.
Beautiful bracelet indeed. I´m with you about Rolex colorful announcements. It was a bit surprising to view these models coming from the beloved brand. Hagwe! Abel
That’s a fantastic watch!
That I never knew existed. Every day’s a school day. 😀 Cheers 🍻
For some reason…
I like this new update from Citizen 😀 Another unknown to me until recently. 🍻 ...
Very nice 👍
That looks great, an alarm watch is always a good choice. This one is cool - don't see many with dive bezels Cheers JML
Congratulations on getting this one NT …
I love a good vintage piece and this one looks great. Best regards Captain
Wearing my BP Leman FB the past week...
Still as sharp as day one. From W&W...... When it comes to Rolex....guess I will just focus on vintage GMTM. Latest incoming is the Mk3 radial dial, not an easy ref to hunt down. Glad I found one with a tip top dial. These are the ones which caught my eye...
Welcome S F …
Firstly congratulations on hunting down tge beautiful Rolex GMTM MK3. Great dial ! I really like your choices from the newly announced watches and good to hear that you have ordered the Czapek Antarctique Revelation, a stunning piece. Are you tempted by t...
Thks Cpt!....Between the Chopard and the Parmigiani, let me first say that...
I believe the Parmigiani will stand the test of time better. I had handled the GMT Rappa and the overall design and wearability are top notch but somehow the urge is not there. The new 41 XPS with the LUC movement is the right move by Chopard. As with all...
Hello dear friend S F: two great options for your weekend and some interesting observations around the W&W announcements.
The Czapek looks as an stunning timepiece and I´m glad to know you are placed an order for this watch. Look forward to your post when you get it on your wrist. Big congrats my friend. Have a nice Sunday, Abel
Thks Abel!
I understand the lead time will be well into 2024/25😂. Have a great Sunday my friend!
You are welcome S F. A long term to wait but well worth it I feel.
Patience is one thing we collectors need to have during the long journey we make after our objects of desire! Best cordial regards Abel
It's been a relaxing weekend so far, Cap . . .
. . . mostly spent at home. Went out Friday night to my favorite pub for a few pints of Carlsberg and fish tacos, and going out Sunday night to shoot pool with my pals, but Saturday has been quiet. My wrist companion this weekend . . . . . . has been the ...
Hi Art …
Sounds a good weekend 🍻… especially with delicious fish tacos ! Your Rail with the newly fitted English saddle strap looks a perfect combo. Let’s see what Omega can magic up ! Best regards Cap
Hello dear Art! Your beautiful Railmaster looks fantastic with these new set of English saddle straps. I can easy understand that they will remain in your watch for some time.
Nice to know you are spending a relaxed weekend and included a tasty menu on Friday. Agree with you about W&W announcements and also looking forward to be nicely with some Omega news along this year. Enjoy your Sunday! Best, Abel
Thanks for holding the event for this week, captain🎖️
Would like to leave some comments about the W&W🥃 rolex really have done something this year, the best could be the full gold jubilee gmt, if they would please the fan with a brown ceramic bezel🙃; the new daytonas are alright and i will stick to my old one...
Welcome saintseiyaikki …
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Completely agree with you and your comments about the new watches announced at W&W. I love your Daytona, it looks particularly good in your photo, as does your Tudor. Best regards and thank you for joining us. Captain...
Hello dear captain. My companion this weekend is the 422…
I love several of the release this year. I love that Rolex is finally offering open case back and I am quite smitten by the new 1908 series. But for me Chopard Alpine Eagle cadence is my favorite this year ...
Hello and welcome my dear friend …
Good to see you enjoying a Panerai this weekend. Nice strap ! The Rilex certainly looks good and the Alpine Eagle is steady evolving into a modern classic. Best regards Captain
Pepsi time
So on the wrist this weekend is the mark 1 Pepsi ceramic, a watch which is invaluable to me, as it was gifted to me by my beautiful wife for our 25th anniversary The colours are clearly flawed as more of a pinkish and purple hue, but I love that W&W i...
Hello Miranda! Great choice for your weekend. One of my favorite modern Rolex offerings. With the added value of its significance for you being a superb gift received from your wife.
Thank you for sharing these "on site" pictures directly from W&W. It must be a great experience to assist to this event and view these pieces in the metal. Both the Yatchmaster and the new 54 BB are the watches I liked most among the announcements. Have a...
Welcome Miranda …
Good to have you joining us for WristScan this weekend. That’s a wonderful gift from your wife for a 25th anniversary, happy memories ! The Alpine Eagle certainly seems to have caught the attention of many of us. Best regards Captain
Blancpain and VC for me this weekend
Have been wearing my fifty fathoms for the walk in the woods and for the casual part of the weekend … and a trusted chronograph from Vacheron for dinner at home with some friends. (1) The casual one: Tribute to Milspec is becoming one my go-to watches for...
Hello Jerome!. Welcome to our event and thank you for your entry. Two great watches you choose for your weekend...
and it was interesting to read your thoughts about the announcements made in W&W. Specially interesting to read your observations about the salmon dials which I love and usually were reserved to special variants of certain brands and it is true it see...
Same here
Thanks for your reply incl your preferences for 🍣: Same here, I really like the combination white metal (often P) plus salmon. From a certain type XX, to 5270 and the Alpine Eagle, I really like them all and would really love to see the PCC from VC Tradit...
Agree with you about the salmon dialed watches you mention…
… and I join you too on your philosophical/horological question. Best, Abel
Possibly the perfect combination …
You have two excellent watches with Fifty Fathoms and Vacheron. I was very interested in your thoughts on the various new watches announced. I feel the Alpine Eagle with it’s rose dial is slightly different because of the galvanic treatment giving the dia...
Wore this one as it matches my pajamas.
As for W&W… It would have been nice to see Rolex update the Milgauss instead of adding “colorful” dials to the Day-Dates. I don’t get it. But I’m sure they’ll sell like hot cakes. The titanium Yachtmaster is very cool. Would love to see a 40 mm SeaDwe...
Good points you make RabidManatee …
I also would have loved to see a 40 mm SeaDweller in titanium, sadly it wasn’t to be. Personally, I also love the 36mm Explorer and think it should have remained this classic size. Quality and under the radar. Best regards Captain
Some last minute examples of no longer in production pieces I love.
Couple of green Rolexes... Omega Orbis Hour Vision. Omega no longer makes this amazing sappire case that took 3 months to make! Titanium Seamaster 300. ...
Three good choices InDebtButOnTime …
and good to see a Omega Orbis Hour Vision. I love the case and blue dial. Nice shots ! Best regards Captain
A Cartier weekend for me
My vintage Cartier Chronograph A classic vintage Tank And my newly acquired baby. This is also the very first Repeater in my collection 😊❤️❤️ OMG 😍😍 ...
Hello and welcome Francis …
Wow, tremendous selection from Cartier you are tempting us with this weekend. I’m so pleased that you managed to get a Pasha repeater, congratulations ! Best regards Captain
For the weekend the Rolex 1675 MK2 no new watches on the radar for now.
Will take an ocean shot later. hagwe. ...
Great weekend choice Bill!! Awesome fading on …
… its bezel. Look forward to view your classic ocean shot!! Enjoy a nice Sunday! Abel
Thanks Bill …
The sun is out and spring is in the air. Time to wake some cars from hibernation 😉 Enjoy your Sunday 🥂
Thank you so much Bill for these additional Ocean shots of your beauty!
Sunlight enhances the charm of that awesome faded bezel. Have a great week ahead! Abel
This GMT Master MK2 looks tremendous …
I always like this particular dial on the GMT Master and the bezel is sweet ! Best regards Captain
