WristScan 8-Feb “Funky” starts now. Let the “Funk” begin!
By: crown comfort : February 7th, 2019-07:35
Friends, Let’s start our WristScan thread this week “Funky”. Now Funky Funk I of course associate with Music first of all, be it original Motown Funk, or smashing Northern Soul or more recent Funksters like Jamiroquai… But I digress. I want to see your Fu...
Very cool trio! :)

The Yellow Doxa I like a lot! Best Blomman
Accutron
By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 7th, 2019-23:55
It simply sounds like something from The Transformers
OK, two I would certainly love to get, Bill...
By: KMII : February 9th, 2019-08:03
That Doxa is high on the list you know and this one I missed while waiting for the Searambler to become available. But those Accutrons are quite the thing 👌🏻
Sorry for the quality of the picture

I was 6 years old. I went on a cruise with my parents.....and spent my entire holiday money buying this watch for my grandfather. That was 1971. I still have the watch!!! It still works. ...
Nothing beats funky 70ies.

Great story behind it as well...best story of weekend!
That's brilliant and funky!

How about an Accutron Spaceview?
By: Franksc7 : February 7th, 2019-09:25
Bulova introduced the Accutron tuning fork electronic watch in 1960 and it was extremely popular in many iterations throughout the sixties and into the early seventies. This technology (electronic tuning fork) was “cutting edge” and the story makes for gr...
Great Spaceview!

The ultimate Omega badboy! . . .

. . . gotta love 910s, especially when . . . . . . they're mostly intact and unpolished. Mine has all the paint on the pushers and crowns, and most of the cadmium yellow coating on the chrono hands. Art ...
Oh yes...

Bullseye, Art! Omega ensured even the pilots could participate. Still one of my favorite vintage Omegas 👌🏻

"Funky" to me is the "Funky 70's"!
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 7th, 2019-10:32
In fact it started mid- late 1960's with the flower power movement and then kept going all the way long into the 1970's. A theme I love! Big, bold, often untraditional case shapes, usually with more colourful dials than we normally see. Most of the times,...

By: blomman Mr Blue : February 9th, 2019-11:56
:D nice try but that surely cannot be "all"

The Green Deep Diver aka Green Lantern...an absolute favourite and I'm happy to say only a few more days and I will be re-united with mine!

Nice entries, my dear Abel.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 7th, 2019-23:29
Lots of funk there, an overload for sure. But that Jean D'Eve is hands down the funkiest watch I have seen on this thread.
Great Pogue Abel !...
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 8th, 2019-00:41
I love the history behind this watch. Very 70s
Thank you Abel..

Hi No flares for me - but cushion cases If it ain't got a matic it ain't funky! Cheers JML ...
Yuo, my friend. Cushion = Funky...

How about a Seiko “Pogue” Automatic Chronograph?
By: Franksc7 : February 7th, 2019-15:43
The Seiko 6139 reference automatic Chronographs are quite “funky” and represent the very late sixties and early to mid seventies quite well. They came with multiple dial colors (all had the “Pepsi” bezel) including black, silver and (most notably) golden....

Made by Seiko in the 1970s, with a hand wound Chariot Hi-Beat movement 👍🏻
Thanks a lot Cpt Scarlet!
By: KMII : February 9th, 2019-21:23
Comes in a palladium plated case, too - so looks completely pristine more than 40 years later. It does have a scratch on the crystal as the only sign of a long life - I wish to look as good when that age 😂
Thanks a lot, Abel 😊
