Off time Wristscan session
The wrist shot has been made last Friday, the last day of my sunny (and also rainy...) vacations in Far East.
Being off time, it allowed me to focus on details I wanted to emphasis :
the orchids for the Asian detail,
the polished bezel for the watch itself, hard to properly catch on this one requiring a perfect angle.
30 shots or so have been necessary to reach an acceptable result...
Being off time also allowed me to illustrate why I've always considered that one as one of my off time watch.
This would even work for the upcoming skiing season thanks to its snow white dial,
this period photo from a mid-70s Heuer catalog has always been associated to this watch including the matching sunglasses ;-)

Our judge "dxboon" has nominated the Wrist Scan winners ...
Quote Hi Nilo, Here are my choices: For "wrist shot" of the week, my choice is Phuongpham39's Seiko. This is the type of watch that I love for weekend or "off-time" wear -- it's rugged, and ready for anything. I like this Seiko's design cues (this model i...
I was very torn, and liked Noodia's Heuer wrist shot too!
Noodia had the benefit of all those colors -- the unusual and charming Heuer, the orchids, the composition was all very nice. There were several other participants that I also felt were noteworthy, but I self-limited my choices to three -- otherwise I wou...

Watch of the Week goes to . . .
. . . Seth! There were many watches that exhibited the values I would want in a 'weekend warrior', notably Abel's red Reverso . . . . . . and hs111's vintage Omega Seamaster . . . . . . but Seth's Habring 2 embodied all of them, and added the virtue of...
A great choice!
I also enjoyed Seth's Habring 2 ! A perfect, legible watch for the weekend (or any day)! Cheers, Daos
Wow. Very pleasantly surprised.
The watch does meet an off-time / weekend criteria -- heck, without even thinking, I wore it today to a rowing (crew) regatta. I'm decidedly honored to have it be chosen with so very many superlative watches being put forward that I thought the Habring2 m...
Watch of the Week differs from . . .
. . . Wrist Scan and Static Photo, Seth, in that the primary criteria is the subject, and not the aesthetic or technical quality of the image. I felt your offering was most closely in line with Nilo's theme. And, while I'm generally not partial to complic...
Got it
I understand the differences in the categories, but I do think that my photo still doesn't do it full justice and, besides, this will give me something to work on.
Now I finally can go to sleep :)
Congrats to everyone see you next week same time same place Sincerely D
Congrats to winners and thank you so much to Judges for the...
... Honorary mention to my Red Reverso against Eiffel tower shot! Best cordial regards, Abel.
It was a great photo, and definitely deserved more than...
...one mention! Enjoy your red beauty! Cheers, Daos
