The Wrist Scan for the 19th of November - 'Once upon a time' is live
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-10:30
Hello everyone, the theme for this week's WS will be 'Once upon a time'. The topic is open to interpretation, it could be a watch you bought a long time ago, or one that was in your watch drawer for a while and you rediscovered. It could also be shots fro...
Thanks a lot Abel!

While the Ekranoplan looks fairly weathered from the outside it’s absolutely pristine inside, and complete down to bedsheets on the bunk beds for the crew. The last flight it made was in April 1993 and it’s been towed to this location many years later. It...
An extraordinary and unique design indeed!

Very interesting to know all this information you share dear KM. This plane/ship has some awesome capabilities and characteristics! Thank you for sharing here!! Abel
Hmmhh.. So let me see, how to play..

I decided for 3 watches, all three Vintages, which are true keepers for me, since I was so happy to have found them, one together with a relaxed stroll through Paris.. They also somehow represent 3 lines of my collecting interest.. - Thus, without further...
What an epic trio, HS111!
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-19:34
From the 70s feel of the Memovox, including the galuchat strap to the two timeless classics following, a great selection indeed 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Your trio is so wonderful!
By: NT931 : November 19th, 2021-23:25
The watches themselves are fantastic, and the strap choices equally inspired. The burnt umber tones on the Rolex strap, the sand nato on the breguet… and my favourite… The stingray on the Memovox… which is brilliant!
Excellent choices hs …

All are treasures and I agree with you about the Rolex Vintage GMT Master. Have a great weekend
My pleasure 🙏…

The Ekranoplan looks incredible as does the excellent photo of your Zenith. Back later with my choices. Enjoy your flight KM !
Thanks a lot, Captain 🙏🏻
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-19:35
Landed safely in the meantime and am looking forward to a weekend spent with the family. That Ekranoplan is really something else 😁 Looking forward to seeing your selection 👍🏻🤞🏻
Thanks for the thought-provoking theme, KM! For me, it's watches I used to own Once Upon A Time
By: NT931 : November 19th, 2021-15:30
These watches are now with new owners but I miss them now and then! A diverse group of brands and styles: some sporty, some dressy, some in WG, some in SS or Ti, some white, black or blue dials, some Swiss, 1 Japanese... you can get an idea of my horologi...

A little more than three years ago I got this watch which by some special personal reasons I haven´t put in use till... today. As you can see it still has all its plastics on it. I fitted its bracelet myself yesterday night and set its several complicatio...
This is amazing, Abel!
By: KMII : November 20th, 2021-06:22
An opening just for the WS 👏🏻 And a great piece it is indeed - thanks a lot for that 👍🏻
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear HS!!
By: Subexplorer : November 20th, 2021-15:33
Agree with you that this is not the most popular Rolex but I feel it deserves the attention of lovers of watches and complications. I really love it in spite of all the bling bling its bezel produces! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel
Superb Sky-Dweller …
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 21st, 2021-16:00
I applaud Rolex for creating something different and interesting, but instantly recognisable as a Rolex. Excellent photos to go with your watch. Enjoy it and celebrate 🥂 Best regards Captain

Nice theme
By: Weems@8 : November 20th, 2021-04:28
I have no watch in a drawer. Watch box user. Which watch i forgotten? Which watch i lost! That’s better for me. I have good memories, but not my watches. I am very new to mechanical watches anyway, i care like a bodyguard, they are worth it. ...
Don’t worry about that…
By: KMII : November 20th, 2021-06:23
The theme is pretty broad, so even a recent acquisition can participate 😊👏🏻

introcuced by our desr Fx but I missed the post! When Nico re-introduced it again a fortnight ago, it was love at first sight. Thank you for taking your time to host and safe journeys to you, dear friend! ...
What a cool, vibrant Heuer!

And perfect shirt matching, too 👌🏻🙌🏻 The travels have an intermezzo for some days before they resume towards the end of next week 😊👍🏻

Hello dear KM and friends… One upon a time, I got this Doxa and ever since we have traveled far and wide, enjoying some great adventures… Not all have been strenuous ;-)) … Water has also been included … But it’s just as at home on land … Have a great wee...
I try 😉
By: KMII : November 21st, 2021-16:04
Not the easiest of weekends to host but then the one before and the one after would have been even harder 🤷🏻♂️
Thank you Abel …
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 21st, 2021-15:31
It really is a true “tool watch”. I must add another to my collection one day. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
You and me, both!
By: KMII : November 21st, 2021-16:04
I believe another Doxa’s on the cards for me, too 🤞🏻
Great!!

Sorry about my late entry (lost in time but like this weeks theme i like to post my ,,Lost,, watch that was taken from me a few years ago . Still miss it and still hoping it will be on my wrist one day 🙏🏻 Hagwe 🤗 ...
I fully understand 👍🏻
By: KMII : November 21st, 2021-14:03
And whenever I come across one for sale I always check 🤞🏻

I can only hope it will pup up someday
Once upon a time is a fun theme !

By: W72 : November 21st, 2021-07:41
in the drawer with the gold plating peeling on the case. Surprisingly, it starts straight away and I just set it to see if it runs properly…. an old Favre Leuba from late 1980s?…. ETA movement… a spontaneous buy back then… seems not so long ago… ...
Back in the day…

I have to say it feels unusual to think of you as GO-less. And I fully agree that the brand has managed some of the best executed PCs in the relatively affordable range. Any chance of a return of a GO for you going forward?
