WristScan for December 7 is now open: 'Mystery GTG watch'.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-09:09
The theme this week is supposed to make you think and make the hardest choice for us: Pick just ONE watch!!! Here is my choice, based on pure emotion and personal meaning, as it was my wedding watch: I look forward to see your choices and reasons. HAGWE, ...
Whatyagonnado :)
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 6th, 2018-09:14
Don't look at me like that ...
Hahaha. Perfect.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-10:12
Deadpan answer, while downing grappa like a boss.
Agreed [nt]
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 7th, 2018-06:54
My choice.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : December 6th, 2018-09:31
I would also go with one with a personal meaning. My dad's watch. Bought in the 1960s Interesting enough horologically to discuss but not something that would shout. ...
A perfect answer.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-10:13
What a beauty and wonderfully captured.
Dear Baron, your father...
By: renerod : December 11th, 2018-10:45
Is a man of superb taste in watches. Now I can see where you got yours. Please, that dial with two tones/textures is to die for, would you be kind enough to share more pictures? Thanks! 🙏🏼 René
Well.....
By: Baron - Mr Red : December 11th, 2018-10:58
Yes, he was a man with great taste. The watch reminds me of him a lot. Regrettably I only have that single photograph. I should do some more.

By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 6th, 2018-12:06
Fantastic!!

Love it 36mm yellow gold and dial... but so much expansive for me now....
Rolex 5510 Big crown
By: Bill : December 6th, 2018-09:15
Some much history and the joy of calling it a James Bond. The mystery is still whether he worn a 5510 or a 6538. Great conversation piece. Bill ...
Superb...
By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2018-09:22
Definitely a great conversation piece
Beautiful piece, Bill.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-09:30
But, as 007, isn't it your job to solve the mystery?
Cool! [nt]
By: Arie - Mr Orange : December 7th, 2018-12:29

Wow. Just Wow.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 6th, 2018-10:15
I haven't seen this gorgeous piece before. I would be all over it. So many interesting things about it.
Coool! [nt]

A very nice regulator indeed.

I, for the life of me can’t get used to them. But I always appreciate the different ways to display time.

A great choice. Classic and full of history.
Incomparably Gorgeous.
By: Gelato Monster : December 7th, 2018-01:15
Out of all watch I have ever worn, Reverso is the most complimented /adored by strangers.
Thanks my friend.
By: beejo : December 6th, 2018-12:16
I have got bitten by the vintage you are right it’s so hard to find another calatrava that competes with this one(I have been trying )
Thanks Abel
By: beejo : December 8th, 2018-10:30
We live in different parts of the world but if we met one day I will make sure to have it with me

And the tan definitely 🤣 I have to see this one in metal
I know this watch.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-00:57
Looks great, and getting to know its makers really increases the attraction.

. . . of pilot design. Kinda like the 427 Shelby AC Cobra being the ultimate realization of sports car design . . . yes, there are others arguably 'better' in one way or another. The 910 got the essentials nailed, with gusto. Art
Best of luck in your search, Nicolas . . .
By: Dr No : December 8th, 2018-10:46
. . . finding one isn't tough, but finding one in original condition . . . that's another story. Best to find one from an estate or first owner. Too many have replacement crystals, pushers, crowns, and hands. A blemished original is preferable to a cosmet...

One of the reasons why I gravitate towards many of the integrated bracelet models... Omega Constellation '95 and GP Laureato 8010 for example... Unfortunately, GP's been sold... stupid, stupid, stupid. Wish to acquire in future, GP again if I can find it ...

... with my “only watch for a GTG” . I’m sure I would take a Submariner, the watch which best represents me I feel. And among the several versions I own the 5508: an early version of the Sub, the charm of a no crown guards Sub and a watch which lights the...
So cool .

Easy to nothing more...
My mystery GTG watch

in the end was not a mystery and not so hard to pick. The Girard-Perregaux "To John Harrison" is not only a very special piece of my collection and a stunning example of hand-painted enamel dial, it also marked a particular achievement and has since beco...
You had me at enamel.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-01:13
A beauty that matches you perfectly. I can't pick a favorite between this and the EoT.

By: jml_watches : December 7th, 2018-04:15
Hi I think it would have to be this Even though absolutely struck by alarms, if I could only take one it would have to be this. Cheers JML ...
Another great choice.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-05:30
The last 2 photos really stand out, IMO.
Welcome to the team, Zabreg!
By: KMII : December 7th, 2018-07:29
And a fantastic theme this week - even if quite difficult to pick only one watch. First of all a great choice on your part - the watch one wears to one’s wedding is certainly a special one! For me the choice would be the Seiko 6602-8040. No nuptial connot...
You limited it to one...
By: KMII : December 7th, 2018-08:38
No matter what watch it would have been that Ar sent - the story around it would have made it a contender. That it was a Seiko was coincidence in that case. The runner up (in case more were possible, would definitely have been the P15 And I hope you are s...
Thanks Nico!

Certainly has been - that’s Purists for you 😊

By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 7th, 2018-11:36
Great choice and excellent reasons.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-07:50
You nailed it, it’s not about one watch forever, just one you’d pick for my imaginary scenario.
Hehehe. [nt]
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 8th, 2018-05:36
Superb choice, Jay!
By: KMII : December 8th, 2018-07:18
Definitely on the hunt for some vintage Specials and VFAs
You're right there...
By: KMII : December 13th, 2018-08:27
Would love to add a VFA one day, though Some other targets first, though...
Great theme!
By: claes_t : December 7th, 2018-13:26
I’ll play with my first watch that I actually paid for myself. By the way, it’s all Blommans fault. Master Compressor Memovox ...
Thnx my friend
By: claes_t : December 7th, 2018-13:34
It’s convenient to always have someone to blame😄
Thank you

I am still fond of it
Moment on a drop of dew
By: Gelato Monster : December 7th, 2018-15:25
I hope this can represent modesty in a harmony of unique design with a touch of sublime power and divinity in dark dial. ...
Thank you Nico
By: Gelato Monster : December 7th, 2018-20:29
Yes Boutique Steel
Poetic reasoning.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 7th, 2018-21:52
Great pick. I guess the thought process paid off.
Thank you Mr Green
By: Gelato Monster : December 8th, 2018-01:35
The background vegetaton is in recognition of the great Mr Green
Thank you CC
By: Gelato Monster : December 8th, 2018-01:39
Alternatively I was thinking about GP but don't have any at the moment. Your Johnny H is the most special GP enamel IMHO.
Thank you Blomman
By: Gelato Monster : December 8th, 2018-01:33
Neither as special nor as romantic as your vintage pieces
Thank you HS111
By: Gelato Monster : December 8th, 2018-16:37
I have been yearning and searching for this watch for years before I find one.
