WristScan 26.03. - 28.03.2021 "Watch-Limbo" is now live!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : March 26th, 2021-10:10
Dear friends, it might come as a relief for some here that my teaser was wrongly giving the idea, that you would need to measure yourself. Since all here is about watches "Watch-Limbo" is asking for the slimmest watch in your collection. For a Purist a tr...  

Great theme Count, looking forward to seeing the watches (and brands) that will win this week! I just hope none of our members has the 2mm Piaget Altipiano yet, otherwise it's going to be a real landslide! ;-)

 
 By: FabR : March 26th, 2021-12:17
Here's for you two watches I rarely show, which most probably take the cake in my collection when it comes to thinness: First, a very simple Patek 5119R, but one which is very dear to my heart as my first Patek ever (bought in May 2008)! And then this Jae...  

That is funny: I bought my first (and only Patek ๐Ÿ˜ข) also in 2008

You are doing the limbo from around 9 - 13 mm, my friend ๐Ÿ˜€. A good weekend to you, too!

Definitely -- and I hope and pray we can reach that point sooner rather than later, given that we are well over a year into this insanity! ;-))

You are right, the specs I have show the Cartier at 5.1mm and the Octo at 5.15. For all that extra height you do get an extra hand and an automatic movement. I will say the Tank Louis feels thinner on my wrist, in good part due to the strap versus the ama...
