Sure
What i wrote, RT take Sellita as movement supplier,
so i can laid back and enjoy wear it.
Forgot to call in the in depth reply, the painted hands in the center gives the outer hand tips a flying look, hanging in the air without attaching something.
Great eye play.

WristScan “Target Acquired” - Now Live ! …
Hello dear friends ! We are now live ! … I have the pleasure to be your host for this edition of WristScan and our theme is “Target Acquired”. I’m sure that most of us are constantly on the lookout for a new “Target” to acquire. My most recent hit was the...
Hello dear Captain! Again thanks a lot for taking the helm to host this weekend. And with a great Theme which will bring many answers from our community I feel.
You open with a great stunning shot of your last hit: The Tudor FXD! This is a most tempting new offering from Tudor which I also have my sight on it though I´m not sure if it will be easily available in the hunting grounds I will be visiting in the next ...
Target practice ;-)) …
We all enjoy this sport ! I look forward to seeing your photos my dear friend. I hope you have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
Aye Aye Captain! I'll kick this off...
I enjoy vintage watches, especially simpler, time-only or time-date watches. And especially those in 'jumbo' sizes of 36mm and above, as many vintage time-only watches are 35mm and below But somehow, despite a wide range of brands collected, including sev...
Hello dear NT …
It’s always very satisfying when you find a nice vintage target to add to your collection. I know this feeling very well ;-)). The bracelet looks very cool and comfortable. Best regards Captain
Collateral damage…
… not my primary target, took the shot nonetheless and successfully hit on the target. Best regards ...
Hello Ludi …
Good to see a vintage Wyler, beautiful! Have you had this one for long ? Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan.
Recently acquired actually while looking for something else
Next programmed target is a Tudor M.N.21, from the special batch intended for the French Navy personnel Meanwhile, let’s see what fate will bring to my attention
Target acquisition on, avoiding action …. failed !!!!
I know this one will come eventually, no matter what…arf ! ...
Ludi (or should that be Fred ;-)) ) …
That’s a fabulous celebration cake. Can you please tell us more ???
LF origin opaline dial
This watch was a surprise to me. I had been not paying attention to watches for about a year to a year in a half after covid. So I must have missed this release. For a month, I had been on an exhaustive search for a VC tradionelle in platinum (boutiques h...
Hi Kevin …
That’s a superb target that you have acquired and your story should inspire others in our community. I always believe that you have to make your own luck in this world, and you definitely did that. Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan this week...
I like crosshairs, and that watch is beautiful! Much infused with the LF DNA in design.
And all the best for the search for the VC Traditionelle Platinum. If it's the 38mm one with cal 4400, it is a terrific watch in all its various incarnations.
Thanks!
Yes the 38mm small seconds (originally patrimony tradinonelle, now just traditionnelle collection). I know there are no new ones available in the USA, maybe a like new version will shoe up in the market. In thinking maybe the line gets an update for 2022,...
Wow !.. Really like your LF; the crosshair gives it a relaxed elegance, so does the whole dial + hands !
Continue to wear it in the very Best of your health ! Best, hs.
Hmmhh.. So let me see, how to play this week !
Just focused on rather few targets these last 2-3 yrs, a bit in the JLC Vintage abyss, on to see of something around for my Memovox camp.. JLC E 872 - a coincidental encounter, not to resist.. Typical child of the 70ies; strong presence on the wrist.. 2 c...
Hello hs …
I always enjoy your posts on WristScan and this one is no exception. I completely agree with you about the Aquanaut, it’s a very versatile watch and so easy to enjoy. I recently meet a racing driver with one on his wrist, it looked so cool as he got out o...
I love your roundup dear friend HS. I always enjoy viewing your answers to the weekend Theme. Great Targets and hits you share here. Absolutely agree with you regarding the Aquanaut.
I feel this model will receive the true interest it deserves from collectors and users now that his big brother Nautilus is discontinued. So classic as versatil and sporty it is. A great choice! Glad you got this one for your awesome collection. Enjoy you...
Thx so much, dear friend Abel for your always kind remarks & friendly looking !.. Glad you also like the Aquanaut 5167.. To be honest, because of its..
..sportive, yet sophisticated versatilities, it currently rather rarely leaves my wrist, since It arrived in my stables. Thx again and Best, hs
Hello dear friend HS !! It is always a big pleasure to view your selections each weekend and comment them. Always beautiful pieces which I´m sure you enjoy so much owning and wearing.
You describe so well the Aquanaut. Absolutely agree with you about this wonderful watch and I can easily understand your fondness for this piece. Keep enjoying and loving so much my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel
A number of targets acquired in 2021 - in order
Started off the year with a Moonwatch - 3861 Hesalite. I had looked at Moonwatches over the years but the new version pushed me over the edge. Probably the most precise timekeeper in my collection. My AD happened to have one in January - walk in acquisiti...
Love all of them, but the CdV is the winner for me
Those lugs and that blued hand! Drop dead gorgeous!
What a nice line-up - Well done, Bravo !!.. My personal favs are the lovely JLC CP ( never seen one in grey, which is cool ) & that superb Moser with the green Fumè dial.
Keep enjoying your tic-tacs ib the Best of your health !
Hello Timeout …
My apologies as I missed your post earlier. Everyone needs a good Speedmaster in a collection and yours looks very good. The latest version with the 3861 is in my opinion the best watch in its class available today. The Breitling Navitimer is one of the b...
Thanks Captain!
I’m enjoying the Vacheron a lot right now. I like supporting a lot of different manufactures, but I find that Vacheron has more models that interest me than most others.
Love all your new acquisitions!
My JLC MUT CP black dial says hello to your stunning piece with grey dial ...
Well
Like many, I’d dreamed of a Daytona for many years. I didn’t want to pay the premium on steel and the gold models were too dressy (sometimes gaudy) and removed from their racing roots. When the oysterflex version Casa released, it was to me the perfect mi...
Thanks for sharing that with us …
I always think with watches, the journey is as exciting as the destination. It’s certainly a special Daytona.
Agreed.
And after acquiring, thankfully, the learning and enjoyment continues as far as one wants to take it.
Hello dear Captain! Le me play with a few Targets Acquired during 2021...
... Great and fun Theme! As you well know I was coveting so much to own the GMT Pepsi from Rolex since it was announced in 2018. Of course market went crazy and I was reluctant to pay the present mad prices but finally the long long wait was well worth it...
Hello dear Abel …
Each of your targets acquired are bullseye hits. The Snoopy is a very different and creative watch from Omega. I’m also so pleased that you managed to finally get the GMT-Master. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
Thanks a lot dear Captain for your kind comments on my selection of hits of last months. Agree with you about Omega Snoopy and I´m enjoying my GMT so much. Thank you for your kind wishes...
... and I wish the same for you dear Captain Scarlet. Cheers! Abel
Hello, dear Abel !.. Once again a great line-up !.. That Pepsi & the Bronzo Panerai are my favs, and the..
.. Snoopy something to really smile. A watch to create good mood & positive feelings ! Again, very well done !.. Also congrats for all these pieces, pleasures to wear, I trust.. HAGWE & Best ! hs
Hello dear friend HS! Thanks for viewing and commenting my choices for this weekend. You describe the pieces with exact words with which I totally agree.
Glad you like them and I appreciate so much your always kind comments. I´m enjoying them so much. Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Best, Abel
Good evening dear Abel luckily the risk is on the sellers side, whrn it comes to postage.
I see, you are still immensly enjoying your GMT 😀👍. I would also but my I gave up ...
Thank you so much so much my dear Count!
Yes. The seller was very professional and friendly. I’m happy he could recover his watch and I could get mine! Yes I’m enjoying my GMT so much! You say you gave up? I thought you owned a Pepsi too! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel
My 2021 targets chronologically in one photo.
I admit it was an overly ambitious year for me... All pieces were targets, responsibly salivated and hunted for 😉😜 ...
Wow Ivan! This was really a year full of Targets and Hits!! You still have one month left to make a dozen! ;) Not easy considering you put the bar so high with these catches.
Big congrats and enjoy them so much. Thank you for sharing! Hagwe. Abel
You do well Ivan!! Congrats on that!
Good luck in your hunt! Look forward to know you next catch in a future post from you! Cheers! Abel
Hello Ivan …
Did you use a machine gun when you went looking for your targets ;-)) ! Spectacular lineup. Which is your favourite ? My favourite is the Half Time 👍 Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan this weekend.
My favorite changes daily. I don't own any timepiece which I wouldn't wear.
Not to throw cliche's around in vain, but I appreciate them all 😉🤞
LOL… I think you need to get one more to average one a month!
All that being said, love your Pt ZW and grand Moonphase. I recall you getting those two this year. Best wishes!
Wow, Ivan !.. An impressive line-up confirming that you must have had a “busy” & fruitful year.. Really can appreciate & relate to this well chosen variety.
.. Very well done, Chapeau !! Cheers, hs.
Great and appropriate theme my friend,
I was invited a few years ago by my friend Chris from Esperluxe to visit the Atelier from the then still relatively unknown master watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi and his crew from Akrivia to see there new release the AK06. It was a very pleasant visit where th...
Independent target acquired 💥💥💥…
Hello Watchonthewrist, The wait is all part of the pleasure when hunting a trophy of this magnitude. It’s a truly beautiful watch and I hope you enjoy it over many years and keep sharing it with us. Best regards Captain
Very well done, Bravo !.. No wonder that you were awaiting such a grail version & model !.. Had never before seen a sample of that Indie watchmaker !.. Thx for sharing !
Continue to wear yours in the very Best of your health !! Cheers, hs.
Pandemic pandemonium
Hi All My last 2 watches, both arrived during the pandemic. Not sure if it was a case of cabin fever or not that instigated the purchase. First, is my Gshock, on a combi bracelet - bought I think mainly in response to watching too many YouTube videos at t...
Good to see you made the most of …
the pandemic situation and acquired something for your collection. The G-Shock is a useful watch when you want to go “under the radar”. Your GP Alarm has a good looking dial and it’s good that it has had a previous life, now enjoyed again by you. Have a g...
Thanks :)
Sometimes we let the perfect be the enemy of the good. I like how my GP has a used look - much rather that than one that looks like it's been over polished. Cheers JML
Hello dear Captain! Great theme this week end as it described a part of our passion so well here. Boy where to start! I think I have still more target to acquire then acquired! However in this past year two stand out for me…
In terms of reference I really really wanted! My up/down for which I have lust for ever since I saw it so many years ago and my explorer for which I regret selling my original one over 20 years ago ( I know!) ...
I really “get” these two very different targets …
Possibly a perfect two watch collection in one post. In reality what more do we need ? … but the targets keep presenting themselves ;-)) Which watch of the two, have you enjoyed most ? Best regards Captain
Well, I really like both of your timepieces !.. Both diverse but with a specific charme.. Nice, that you were able to fill your “Explorer-Gap” by another one, cool choice !
So you almost only need those two watches to cover all occasions, but am sure you will have broadened your base meanwhile ! Have a good upcoming next week and Cheers ! hs
Congratulations Fernando !!! …
That’s a very cool target that you have acquired. What are you thoughts on it now you have it on your wrist ???
