WristScan for December 7 is now open: 'Mystery GTG watch'.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-09:09
The theme this week is supposed to make you think and make the hardest choice for us: Pick just ONE watch!!! Here is my choice, based on pure emotion and personal meaning, as it was my wedding watch: I look forward to see your choices and reasons. HAGWE, ...  

Whatyagonnado :)

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 6th, 2018-09:14
Don't look at me like that ...  

i am so surprised [nt]

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 6th, 2018-09:19

Shocked :) [nt]

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 6th, 2018-09:25

if we had never met and i walked into a GTG and saw you with that.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 6th, 2018-09:30
.....and we started a discussion..... and it went along to "why did you buy that"...... and then you said..."Have you watched The Sopranos yet?" .....yep...i can see that GTG

Yes I can.... absolutely

 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-05:26
It's a given.

Agreed [nt]

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 7th, 2018-06:54

My choice.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 6th, 2018-09:31
I would also go with one with a personal meaning. My dad's watch. Bought in the 1960s Interesting enough horologically to discuss but not something that would shout. ...  

A perfect answer.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-10:13
What a beauty and wonderfully captured.

Well.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 11th, 2018-10:58
Yes, he was a man with great taste. The watch reminds me of him a lot. Regrettably I only have that single photograph. I should do some more.

Please, do and share

 By: Bill : December 6th, 2018-09:15
Some much history and the joy of calling it a James Bond. The mystery is still whether he worn a 5510 or a 6538. Great conversation piece. Bill ...  

Superb...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2018-09:22
Definitely a great conversation piece

Beautiful piece, Bill.

Indeed, yes ! Truly happy about it & again thx to you for predicting the future & encouragement !

Top choice, top watch! [nt]

Great theme! For this 'mystery GTG' I decided I'll try to match the location to my Patek... Let's see what we have:

 
 By: FabR : December 6th, 2018-12:19
This 5089G if it's in Geneva... This 5131P if the GTG is at the North Pole... Finally, this 5177G if it's in my hometown of Genova... And now I ran out of Pateks with geographic dials... So if the GTG is somewhere else, let me know and I've found a great ...  

Uhhh....I count three...how about...

The color of that dial is really cool. The case, the lugs, the hands, everything here is interesting.

Very nice! What size? [nt]

Grand Seiko Special 6156. A number of you have seen this watch in the metal, as I have brought it to Purist GTGs and also it’s often my Redbar choice. Why? First: Well, it’s not something people see everyday (the “Special” had a shortish run, and even mor...  

Great choice and excellent reasons.
