... awesome Moser chrono sporting such a stunning dial you are the first participant this week end and I thank you so much for sharing this beauty and also for your kind compliments. Have a nice week end my friend! Cheers! Abel
I donβt have many chronographs in my collection, but those I have are mainly manual-wound, and vintage. Iβm fond of the two-subdial layout, it just seems better balanced to me. (And Abel, you have an amazingly diverse collection of Chronos!) ...
... you share wiih us. Agree that two sub dial configuration makes for a cleaner and more balanced layout of dial. Thank you for your kind comments about my collection!! Hagwe! Abel
Although Iβve seen the 2nd input ( sterile dial), I didnβt recall the brand . - clean, almost austere face. Then the amazing Longines, the blue Montblanc - where to stop with my awes !? - Also really love that georgeous Lemania with that colorated dial ! ...
Not easy to choose only one piece here! You know Iβm specially fond of the salmon dial Type XX but also the Patek, the Longines... you donβt make it easy my friend!! Thank you for sharing these beauties my dear friend!! Hagwe! Abrazos! Abel

I got this FM a few months ago through a friend who sells a lot of FMs . You know I always had and have a soft spot for the brand and when i saw this one it was a no brainer for me . Still hope to find a beautiful Crazy Hours like yours . My old man bough...
I stopped buying chronographs a while ago because I really do not have much use for them now. Plus my repairer advised that they cost three times the cost of a time-only watch to service! Below one of my Ebels posing on a page from Michael Balfour's 1986 ...
... comments on my opening shots and your participation. My shots only intend to invite all our friends to participate. I also have concerns about the cost of maintenance of my chronos but anyway I find them irresistible! You share some interesting and be...
... opening shots I choose for the opening of the thread. Iβm sure youβll find some interesting pieces to share in your collection. Look forward to your entry!! Hagwe! Abel
Since this is actually an easy choice for me (my only chrono is a Daytona, bought probably 10 years ago from my AD and regularly used ever since), let me play this week with a brief selection of pictures taken in Italy...It was actually nice to revisit th...
... sharing these beautiful shots taken in your great charming Country my dear friend Fabr! Agree with you that chronos is a popular complication and I look forward to many great entries through the week end. You say you only own one chrono but a great, c...
... for sharing these beauties! No need to say I love Daytonas. All variations are so classic and beautiful. The Autavia you show is very interesting as I think it was an special edition sporting those charming colors on bezel and subdials. Have a nice we...
The Daytona shown marked an important point in my professional life, hence very important to me, although a bit flashy The Autavia was meant to be a Dubai watch and a dubai watch only , therefore it had to go unfortunately. I really liked at the beginning...
I remember well when his father bought it and, well, I didn't know what to say, it was not my kind of watch then. Last summer I could finally wear it for a while after so many years, such a wonderful watch, so full of life! As you can see from the signs o...
... work horse of a chrono Simone! Indeed it must have been a curious watch in its time but it is now a coveted piece of collection in our days. I own the present Heritage model which is an homage to this model and I like it so much though lacking the cha...

Here are a few: P15: SRQ019: SDAA001: LUC Chrono One: Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition: Great theme and wishing everyone a fantastic weekend ππ» ...
... why you say that this is a theme for you. It surely shows you ate a chrono aficionado! Nice shots as usual. But wait... do you were that Seiko reversed? Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel
Chronographs represent a very important complication. Many youngsters are rightly fascinated by the ability to measure time and interact with the watch movement. One of my first watches reflected that, when I was around 10 years old: Swatch Black Friday (...
...that chronographs represent an interesting complication. Interesting to view each of your nice chronos represent a decade in your life and that you ate already planning your fourth decade with flying colors! Thank you for sharing!! Hagwe! Abel
however, I forgot to take the legibility of the dial into account. I will need to search for blued hands at some point as the dial is quite monochromatic. AP does not really distribute their spare parts widely to say the least
I can well understand why your last is your favorite. Though any of your other chronos would make a happy man too!! π Beautiful chronos you share with us ! Hagwe! Abel
Hello dear Abel and friends ! I hope that everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying WristScan even in these difficult times. Speedmaster 321 on the flight deck ;-)) Itβs all in the timing... Chronograph heavyweight ... Have a great weekend friends !...

I can see that I will need to go through this thread several more times to absorb all of these wonderful pieces! Congrats, gentlemen! I love chronographs -- here are a few of mine: ...
That gold Speedy is really something!! And that Breitling... dial is wood?? All great chronographs! Guess our judges will have a hard job this weekend!! Hagwe! Abel
I share your madness for chronographs and it is the most popular complication in my collection. Please allow me to share the following 4 variation of execution of the chronographs that I love! 1) A two register chronograph - Omega with Cal 33.3 from the 1...
... I know you are a big chrono aficionado and Iβm happy to see what you will share today. By some reason I canβt visualize your shots. Will you please check or post again? Looking forward to your shots! Best cordial regards Abel
... First shot, vintage Omega. Lovely example. This is something I would love to have in my collection. Blue dial Daytona, Alaska project... Grail watches. The Cartier chrono, sublime. The couple of JLC chronos superb. Superb shots as usual! Thank you for...
First my pusherless chronograph from the wonderful husband and wife team in Austria A chronograph only watch? Is it a watch if it doesnβt tell time? I suppose we should just call it a wrist chronograph. Anyway... Next an issued tool to the West German Bun...
The Habring, seems very popular here judging from the number of watches shown in this same thread. Regret to say I never had the chance to view in the metal but considering the reputation and the esthetics I will try to view one of them in my future trips...

Hi My only chronograph - not even sure when I got this! Doesn't get worn very often - but it's a great size & nice & thin. Really like the translucent case too. Cheers JML ...
All these chronos are manual wound (except the 16520) so you know the story... (just like for driving I used to prefer manual gear, but that was before π’...)
The ones above are all fantastic, and each one has something to commend it. My own chrono sub-collection includes the two below. Sorry, these are stock photos as I haven't got round to taking decent live shots of them yet. Keep them coming... ...
... your two superb chronos. Both lovely. Chronographs are a very interesting complication indeed. You are very welcome to participate in our Forums and share with us your collection and pictures. Sorry for my delayed answer but our week end contest ended...
