WristScan

. . . let The Games begin. Remember, fellow Olympians: only two submissions this week, preferably a Static and a Wrist shot to compete in both categories. ...  

. . . and Wrist . . . . . . shots of my Flightmaster. Art ...  

Puts the bar very high!! Will come back later with my two shots! Cheers! Abel

That Flightmaster hits the spot.

The DC-8 on the back seals the deal 👍🏻

Needless to say, that I do look like an athlete at the moment ... naked ... PS I am ceartainly laughing about myself here 😃! ...  

Health is wealth. Great fitness to be able to run 8km. Keep it up!!

Sometimes significantly longer 12km swims at a go. Next week me will swim 10km in the ocean guided by a kayak. Me thinks running is significantly harder than swimming, as it is weight bearing. I respect the long distance runners most as it is grueling to ...  

That Omega has got very nice colours, very calm. Regarging the csrbon shoes: have not tried them yet ...

But my only gripe is the lack of stability making it easy to sprain the ankle when wearing them. Took a bit of getting used to, as the heel area is very narrow. 8km runs are impressive. I cannot handle 8km without burning out the next day, with shin splin... 

I run for diet sake and not to beat a time. Also: I run often on the balls of my feet, which is a better technique for the knies. The longest I did was a half marathon. I am too heavy for running and know that too long distances too often will only cause ... 

Good humour dear Count and your Seiko is one of my favourites with the green dial. Keep up the training !

. . . in front of a mirror.

Given the Alpinist on your wrist 👏🏻👍🏻

… but a beautiful watch like your green dial Alpine will surely help much more in present Olympics! Great pocket shot! Hagwe my dear friend! Abel

And here's the Seiko 6217-7000 World Time, made for the 1964 Olympics, in both the silver and dark grey configurations. Over time, I've leaned towards the grey, and it's a more unusual colour combination especially with the gold accents. And at 37mm, it w...  

. . . but let it go for a hammer less than an alligator strap. I'm still kicking myself for the oversight. 😬

Really like these Olympic world timers - hope to bag one myself at some point 🤞🏻

… is not winning but taking part. Humble but proud Zodiac contestant here, eager to participate Hagwe ...  

. . . and caffeine isn't on it. An oversight to be corrected for the Summer Games next year.

And a wonderful Zodiac to participate 👍🏻👌🏻

TT DSA- EU at Jardin du Luxembourg .. A cool shot on a hot day.. HAGWE & Best, hs ...  

(In fact it is/was 1 watch in both instances, 1 WS and 1 static ( TT DSA-EU) ??) .. Or would it rather have needed a connection to Olympia or such games ?? Or: Apparently had I not read the Call for Entries carefully enough. Maybe you drop me a line, pls ... 

. . . alles ist gut .

You share yours in two great shots wrist and static as requested by our dear Host! Well played my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel

So hopefully you were not bored; but I’m glad you like that shot, which was taken in Roma, on the Piazza de la Pantheon & indeed it was really hot that day.. Thus, yes it’s also one of my own fav shots. Best & have a good week ! hs.

…… don’t fix it. Same watch - different day - different strap! ...  

and a very cool hat !

The Fairbanks Trilby is a classic. I have this one, together with a navy one as well as a grey, together with a St James navy Fedora, a Panama and a Napoli hat that they used to make. I haven’t quite branch off into the Homburgs yet!

The problem is I keep buying them ! ...  

…. but struggle in the competition!

. . . and watch. [photo credit: Google search] Yes, Omega crafted a cornes de vache in the late '40s - ref 2597 / cal 351. 😉 ...  

I remember my grandfather with a trilby and I’ve reached the age where I can pull it off now! Love the Omega cow horns - didn’t realize they got there first.

Static Wrist shot Cheers JML ...  

Albeit a superb static shot entry!

. . . but damned difficult to capture. Art

Does it still keep the record of being on your wrist without pause (one of the wrists at least)?

It's currently having a break from me. I haven't worn it for a while - think not going anywhere & working from home, put paid to wearing it constantly. Still a great watch & the dial is fabulous. Cheers JML

the dial shot. So glad to be back in the game. Best, Timerider ...  

. . . the inspiration . . . . . . for the enamel? ...  

Timerider

. . . a glowing orb.

And a fantastic dragon indeed 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

...  

. . . but only 669 original Bullheads. I guess that means my chances of joining you are 0.0000083%. 🧮

Awesome data! And a wonderful Omega!! Cheers! Abel

… and very desirable piece of collection considering its so low production! Keep enjoying it so much! Cheers! Abel

. . . markedly. The next target on my list is a Speedmaster Professional. Who knows? Maybe a bullhead will follow . . .

Are these vintage bullheaded Omegas thinner than the modern variety or does it just look that way?

. . . thanks partly to having a manually wound movement.

here is my entry Wrist Shot Static S ...  

. . . with my pals in a few hours, so it's shaping up to be a great Saturday here, Salman. Good to see you entering our Games! Best, Art

And fantastic to see you back 😊👍🏻

… entry for the Watch Olympics we are celebrating this weekend. An Omega Seamaster offered in 1956 for the XVI th edition held in Melbourn and a favorite chrono: GP Olimpico. Have a great and relaxed weekend my dear Art and all friends here!! Best! Abel ...  

.. for me the wonderful GP Olimpico, please ! Have a great Sunday and Cheers ! hs

… kind viewing and commenting! Yes, I love the little Omega so much but the GP Olimpico is really something when strapped on the wrist. Enjoy your Sunday and week ahead my dear friend! Best! Abel

The perfect watch for this theme dear Abel and a legend for Omega collectors. Have a great weekend.

I love this little Omega so much and felt it was the right place here to share it. Cheers! Abel

. . . what could be more natural for Wrist Scan Olympics than the original Olympics Omega? ...  

… my present training condition will not allow any good timings I thought this watch would represent the Olympic spirit of our beloved brand. Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel

Fantastically chosen 👏🏻👌🏻

A very strong looking vintage watch, very edgy and sharp, dear friend. A worthy watch for strong athletes. Hope you are enjoying a good Sunday evening.

And nice to see the P15 in action 👏🏻👍🏻

Hope you’re doing well 👍🏻

Did listen to stuff from the era the last week, though - my passenger had a liking for it 😊👍🏻

Something from our official timing partner …. Ready for the triathlon 😱… Have a great weekend everyone ! Best regards Captain ...  

. . . like hand in glove. Thanks for sharing, Cap!

For give us this enjoyable edition of WristScan.

Your Speedy in a not very usual angle makes for a stunning picture of this classic. And a lovely sea wrist shot of your recent catch the MN21. Can’t find it where I’m presently hunting by the way. They say they have no idea of when it will arrive even bei... 

Great addition to the collection 👌🏻👍🏻

Equestrian weekend. ...  

. . . for a medal.

Good luck, and have a great rest of the weekend everyone! ...  

. . . the mysteriousness of your second photo. Art

Below is a favorite shot of mine, which if I’m being honest doesn’t really accurately depict how the Longines Legend Diver really appears whatsover, but the light and reflections just made for a magical photo IMO. Just wish I wasn’t wearing a crappy Under...  

Lovely photos

Your wife clearly deserves a special prize irrespective of anything else 🙌🏻😊

. . . 'Action Wrist Shot'.

but I hope I get to the podium with my beloved one: HAGWE, Adam ...  

Beautiful piece!

. . . you're able to share a Static photo of your SM - or any of your watches - with us today. Art

Here you are, my new contender: What could be better as a chronograph for an olympic game? Yours, Adam ...  

. . . now you're contending in both categories, as well as WotW. Relieved, Art

A chronograph for timing the races and a GMT for traveling! And the winner is the Octo Finissimo Chronograph GMT in steel with the blue dial! ...  

. . . if mixed martial arts . . . . . . were an Olympic sport. ...  

Thanks a lot, Art, for hosting this fun theme and for finding this picture )

I've had this version of SS GMT only wishlist for a while! curious how you like it -- is it suitable for daily wear?

...  

. . . as evidenced by the examples in this thread. 👍🏻
