WristScan

Hello friends of WristScan, This weekend our theme is “Sunshine Watches” .... Everyone loves the sunshine ! Most of us are enjoying fine weather and matching our watches is all part of the fun. It’s always interesting to see which watches our community ar...  

have a good week end all ...  

Welcome to WristScan psfparis. The champagne dial on your Oyster Day-Date certainly has the Sunshine vibe. Have you had this one for many years ?

Such is life ! Have a great weekend.

HAGWE all BR Hans P.S. I know, I need to work on the date setting.. picture taken today just before lunch time.. ...  

I really like the design of this watch. The red seconds hand looks very good and it also has one of my favourite vintage Omega bracelets. Nice wrist shot !

… vintage DD and DJ with pie pan dials and spade or dauphine hands. I also like to wear DD with leather straps which are elegant and sporty at the same time. Mine says hello! Hagwe! Abel ...  

All of them are still with me and being heavily worn. YM's turn right now. ...  

Beautiful choices for our Sunshine theme. The gold and steel Daytona is a perfect example of a watch to enjoy in Sunshine, I can imagine it possibly with a white linen shirt in the sunshine to complete the look. Do you take it on holiday ?

Its my first serious watch, bought arpund 13 years ago or so.

Here some „sunshine“ chips.. Leisure afternoon.. A cool shot on a hot day.. The JLC - DSA/ US in her natural habitat.. FF No-Rad ready for the beach.. - Hope you like some a bit. Best & HAGWE to all, hs. ...

Great shots for our theme. I’m definitely feeling the Sunshine in your selection of watches in your static shots. How about a wrist shot ? Well played !

- Just sun, water and leisure time.. Without further ado here just those few.. Cool MIH in mellow afternoon mood.. My Breguet 5817 in full summer surroundings ...  

🙂 😎

The other watches I could wear too!

... your Reverso. Your DSA against blue rope shot is stunning indeed. And your Sunny No Rad FF? well ... you know... you always keep me drooling when you share it here my friend. That´s my grail which I´m still hunting. May be some day will arrive to my c...

Nothing like a blue sunburst dial and domed reflective glass to capture the last of the days’s rays! ...  

Loving that strap that complements the dial so well. Good choice !

HAGWE! ...  

I have been thinking about trading this watch, but the photos I posted are making me think otherwise.

… signature Summer watch for you!! I wish you’ll keep loving and enjoying it so much!! Nice shots!! Hagwe! Abel

Hope that you had an excellent week. The first shot shows the sunshine hitting your dial and looking very cool.

...  

The dial would be different

The first shot is excellent, capturing the Sunshine on your dial. Well played !

In the sun. ...  

The dial looks beautiful with the sunshine on it. Have you had this one for long ?

...  

The Bathyscaphe in its natural environment. Well played !

I'm curious to find out if the ceramic version is made of fully ceramic. Some websites said it is titanium coated with ceramic (plasma ceramic technology). May be getting this, or the SS version soon.

….. I bought this as a beach / salt water watch and is absolutely impervious to daily dings and marks. Like all ceramics prone to crack and shear if dropped onto a hard surface.

I'll wait till the lockdown ends, and head to the AD to try this out. Also looking at the Moonphase and chrono version. They said the chrono can be used underwater, which makes it an interesting technical plus point. Have a great week.

. . . last night. No color adjustments - that pic is straight off the iPhone camera. More to come . . . ...  

I love the chalk dial of this Seiko!! Hagwe! Abel

. . . accompanied by Jerry's Sub. Jerry hangs out with us occasionally at our pool tournaments. He's one of those guys that owns a few watches but wears his Sub most of the time. Art ...  

Well captured Art. How’s your Grand Seiko going ?

. . . and I searched everywhere for it. When I went to my spare parts box a few days ago to look for a buckle, there it was. Glad to have this one back in the rotation. It was acquired on my behalf by Ken H and restored by none other than the Godfather of...  

I did a similar thing and couldn’t find a watch that I had “carefully” stored away. It took me literally weeks to hunt it down :-(

. . . the safe deposit box. You can imagine how I felt when it wasn't found there. I was sure it was a goner until it popped up serendipitously earlier this week.

...  

We don’t see this Rolex very often. It looks superb. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend.

... blue background. Guess we have a winner here! Hagwe! Abel

While the watch didn’t last in my collection this photo in Koh Samui always makes me rethink my decision… ...  

Can you tell us anything more about your decision to sell this one ?
