WristScan

First of all a sincerest apology for the late start - had some IT issues that prevented me from posting the thread on time. The theme is ‘Latest catch’ - so the last watch(es) that joined your collection. If there’s a fishing element to your pictures, all...  

when I saw that green color of the dial in the flesh, I just had to find one, since these colourful 'Must Tanks' are long sold out. GEO ...  

the green dial is very cool.

We’re these intended to be limited? We went for the Drive Extra Flat instead on the day when we were looking at them and like you said they are practically sold out since 🤷🏻‍♂️ Interesting combination with the bracelet 👍🏻

Beautiful Cartier

Cheers !!

Green is a new color for me and I am looking forward to seeing it on a tan strap. GEO

on a metal bracelet!! Cheers Thomas

Possibly this was it! As far as the latest catch watch goes, it was probably this one: Do Dungeness crabs count? My arm and watch in danger! Fellow crab eaters. Cazalea ...  

and a tasty crab, both excellent choices Mike !

Where did you guys catch the crabs? How fun and they must be delicious!

They truly are wonderful when freshly caught and cooked.

I just googled “Whidbey Island” and read that it is famous for the seafood! Would love to go visit one day! Thanks for sharing your experience. Have a very nice weekend!

Wonderful LE and the crabs look truly delicious. Here’s one back for you 😊 ...  

Especially like that dial color ! Bravo !! 🙂🙂

Another Seiko obviously. ...  

Cool Seiko ! Hope you are keeping well and enjoying your weekend. Best regards Captain

Locked down with Covid, light symptoms so I guess all is good and goofy ! My view for the coming days ... ...  

Hope you feel better soon.

Looks like another seiko lume monster!

And a great choice - cool wristshot, too 👍🏻

I have totally nothing with fishing. My latest catch was my Frederique Constant FC810 monolithic. At an AD a lady rejected my request to buy the FC810 which they had in stock, but was reserved by a customer already. Stupid was that i had bought a watch ea...  

It certainly looks good on your wrist.

40mm is perfect for my wrist. While it fit perfect, i can wear it all day and it became a daily beater, or better said zoomer. Dangerous is the way my Frederique Constant is telling me no more watches needed. By accident an exit watch. I need a green dial...  

The Omega Globemaster would be a good choice., I was looking at this watch last week. ...  

Technologically one of the most interesting pieces of the last years IMHO. How’s the accuracy? Nice WS 👍🏻

And you wear it very well!! 🙏 Is it an automatic movement or to wind manually? Best Thomas

Bought it on the bracelet but swapped out for a strap straight away! ...  

Those hat shots are so cool 👍🏻👌🏻

Love this hat - it’s a Lock & Co Napoli hat - made from sisal. They don’t make this particular one any more - so it’s been back for life-support treatment once after being sat on 😂

But it’s hopefully just a matter of time 😊

I have the prior re-edition which didn’t have the Broad Arrow hour hand. This one is smaller, thinner and a manual wind, compared to the automatic 2013 edition.

and I love your last photo 👍

I’m looking forward to the 350th anniversary of Lock & Co in 5 years. Can’t be too many shops that have been around for that length of time!

Top quality.

Bravo!! But for me also the steel bracelet doesn’t look bad. Cheers Thomas

My latest catch is also my favorite watch! Perhaps this is how it should be until a new latest catch takes center stage😊. 7 days from now the catch is jumping in my boat I guess you could say. The catch is in fact flying with the watchmaker (and fellow WP...  

Like the new catches are - really curious about your Berkus - looking forward to your impressions of it, too 👌🏻👍🏻

Excellent catches

It’s very cool.

The photo is from an excellent Japanese photographer named Hiro (I know that doesn’t help much). My main contribution was putting my Rolex on top of the photograph and play with Photoshop a little so it blended better.

It’s been a long time since a time-only watch gave me so much pleasure! ...  

No wonder it provides so much fun 👍🏻👌🏻

That’s a very cool vintage Omega. If only it could talk !

Best Thomas

Sorry I couldn't help because of the doxa content: Latest fun and affordable catch for me. As I get older I get more satisfaction out of affordable stuff and what a name too! ...  

Great Yema, too 👏🏻

After a few years (yes, years!!) without no one watch I found myself coming back to the khaki but now the 42mm version, auto and with all the heritage that Hamilton mean. I just love it. ...  

A classic, the Khaki!

This is a real tool watch.

Bought the Reverso book from Sham, who very kindly brought it over for me when he hopped over to my country on a Sunday. We had a lovely chat at the airport, and I got to admire his beautiful Kikuchi Nakagawa and his VC. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the ...  

Doing some shopping at the supermarket. And a rainbow showed up. So I took this pic Brandon. Nice Reverso there in that book. ...  

Weight and content wise fit for a whole GTG 😁 Cool shots, too 👌🏻

I’m sure it will give you much pleasure. Enjoy !

I gave away my most recent purchase to my best friend because he liked it so much. It was the Tag Heuer Night Lume. Giving away watches brings a new dimension to collecting. Stories made out of generosity. When in excess, giving to a more needy friend mak...  

Funny that you mention it but I have been thinking the same thing about potentially giving some watches to friends and family. Great BB shot 👌🏻👍🏻

In order of appearance - from latest to the less recent. The last shot is not of a recent watch but the catch on the plate was fresh 😉 ...  

That’s quite a catch ! Hentschel and Habring look especially good.

You have great taste. GEO

The Laine obviously took some time from order to delivery, the Minerva on the other hand was a fully spontaneous find - and as I have been on and off looking for one, impossible to pass by 👍🏻😊

Got myself several pink and purple straps lately and am quite happy with the result 😊👍🏻

...  

Looking at the strap it looks like it came from the same maker as mine 😉👌🏻

... very happy as well Keep enjoying and loving them so much my friend. Hagwe. Abel

That Minerva, like the Seikos, was unplanned - simply a jumping on an opportunity that surprisingly presented itself 😊 But I have been hoping to find one for a while 👍🏻

The Hentschel and the Chrono Tokyo I like most! ☺️ All the best Thomas

While the Hentschel was clearly a long planned piece, the Chrono was a bit of a surprise, so I snatched it as soon as I saw it 😊👍🏻

No salmon 🍣 this time 😉 Two nice and fun pieces This Thomas Funder was a microbrand project I ordered last year. That case design looks so good in person imho. Love it And this one doesn’t need any introduction i guess . So happy i got it . Excellent rele...  

The case shape on the Thomas Finder is truly superb - very, very cool! The MAD needs no introduction and is a very funky piece 👌🏻👍🏻

The case design of the Thomas Funder looks very good and offers something different as does the MAD1. Is the Thomas Funder case Titanium ?

Yes its a titanium case .

an outstanding piece!! Excellent. 👏👏👏

.....coincidentally ,my last two purchases this year are from the same brand a pickup from an overseas trip Something that just may be my exit purchase in this hobby,except for a PSM i'm eyeing just enjoying the green shades.....not ocean green and no fis...  

The KS looks lovely in this color scheme and the green of the GS is very mesmerizing 👏🏻🙌🏻

All the best Thomas

More the one that got away. This was my last purchase a few years back but I gifted it to family who are visiting this weekend and I could not resist. 😀 ...  

... that giving it as a present to a member of your family provokes you a deep pleasure too. The new owner will appreciate so much your generous gesture. Have a nice weekend! Abel

Thank you.

Very nice shots and a great gesture - I am sure the family member who got is it over the moon 😊👍🏻👌🏻

Yes he was even though he considered himself not a fan of gold.

😉 Well, 2022 was a rather stimulating year, although with only rather few watches incoming. To start with, the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 culminated in the arrival of a long existing dream, to Humble Me a pretty Heavyweight for my stables. What it ...  

.. is truly attractive on the wrist.. Thx for your interest, again ! Best, hs. 🙂🙂

... timepiece to enjoy and love. I´m happy for you my friend. Wishing you´ll enjoy these catches in the best of good health! Cheers! Abel

because of its fascinating dial without this uninspired white date window I really dislike. My AD offered it to me for Euro 28.000 about more than a decade ago. I refused because I found it ridiculous to pay so much for a steel sports watch…. 😩 Oh my God!... 

.. and the kind looking ! Glad you liked it; - HAGWE & Best 🙂

And Yes, the acquisition of the Nautilus 5167 was a long standing wish, which turned out very rewarding ! It‘s one of those watches, which exert their full attractiveness sometimes on a second look ! - But I really love it - it’s one of my most loved watc... 

It´s always my pleasure to view and comment your posts my friend. Have a wonderful week ahead. Cheers! Abel

The Nautilus - catching one currently is certainly a very special feeling! And the Omegas are fabulous additions to your collection - am seriously thinking of the CK myself (a serious competitor being the DeVille Tresor with small seconds, which if anythi... 

And Yes, it has been a quite “monumental” season; You’re right, the CK 859 is a real low-key pleasure but exerts a charming appeal ! Thx for a stimulating theme and - HAGWE to you & yours ! 🙂🙂

Quite a bit of driving ahead today but hopefully the main traffic is gone by now. Have a nice weekend, too 👍🏻

You certainly landed some very special watches. The Nautilus is a wonderful addition and the CK 859 is a personal favourite. Best regards Captain

And Yes, 2022 was a year rather low in number of Tic-Tacs but high in “content & substance”. - BTW: what’s in a number of timepieces; practically nothing important, as we all know.. Thx again for your kind comments ! Best, hs 🙂🙂

Hi These are the latest acquired during the height of the pandemic. First a gshock - probably from watching too many YouTube videos! The second - a c case GP alarm, an alarm is always good The GP with a few friends! Cheers JML ...  

... to add to your collection. Your last picture is awesome! Enjoy them so much! Hagwe. Abel

Both are great - but without the time ( due to not being allowed to go anywhere) I'm pretty convinced I wouldn't have been so bothered about getting a gshock. But it's a good tool watch to throw on when you don't want to worry about what you're wearing. C... 

is pure magic!! 🙏 Cheers Thomas

Was actually a Mickey Mouse Swatch, so I certainly understand the appeal of the G-Shock in the situation. The C-Case is a true beauty 👌🏻👍🏻

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

… your hosting and great Theme. Watch catching has been great for me this year with the arrival along the last months of a few watches I have ordered earlier and required a long wait to be enjoyed. I am sharing a few shots though regret to say I had not o...  

The Chronoscope I had admired already when you posted it, but can’t get enough fine pics of that real treasure ! And Yes, of course the CK859, well known here meanwhile is very photogenic and I agree, that it is a really fine watch, a very fine watch ! - ... 

Enjoy your weekend so much my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

With a very non-standard movement for Omega and this very appealing dial 👌🏻 The CK is becoming a bit of a community watch here and for good reason - Omega really made a charmer with this one. The Chronoscope looks much better on your wrist than on the pre... 

I have seen both the steel and bronze models and liked them best than in pictures. Hope you´ll have the chance some day soon. Have a nice week ahead my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

Hello dear Abel, A beautiful selection of watches from Omega and very nice photos to accompany them. The Speedmaster Chronoscope bronze-gold case looks so good on your wrist and the CK859 is an instant classic and will definitely be a future collectors dr... 

... as soon as they were announced but due to the present economic crisis in my Country the arrivals of new watches has been slow and required long waitings. I´m still waiting for the Ultra Deep titanium arrival. Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel

I had the Ultra Deep on my wrist again this week, you are going to love it !… especially in titanium.

The Speedmaster Chronoscope is a very special piece. It looks much better on your wrist than what I have seen on the internet. We all know and appreciate the CK859. But your watch 1938 number 10 from the Omega Museum collection stole my heart. What a beau... 

The Breguet numerals and hand set and dial finish adds to the charm of this watch I feel. Thank you again! Best cordial regards, Abel

great taste I have to say. I am sure it is a keeper in your collection! Then the dial is lacquered? I would have bet it is in enamel. Cordially Thomas

... it is enamel. As a matter of fact the Omega web site mentions: "ivory colored dial" but not mentions enamel. Best, Abel

Exquisite workmanship. ...  

I would love to learn more about the white metal one on bracelet. It looks very promising. GEO

It is Hektor range produced in 99 pieces. 33 each in grey, green and blue dial variation. The first bracelet model introduced by L&H.

A brand which has been around for a while but did not catch my attention until recently.

Am quite taken with what they have been doing over the last years 👌🏻🙌🏻

A good team over at L&H and they are doing great stuff incrementally in no big rush.

Those 2 are rarely even photographed. Love it!

outstanding watch. It’s definitely on my wish list (in RG with black dial). And I have never realized the Hektor. Two stunning pieces from L & H you don’t see often. Many congrats Thomas

L&H is still bit under the radar. The Georg was made to order as there was no ready stock in the config I wanted.

After Marco Lang has left the company I was afraid the quality of production would go down. But fortunately this hasn’t come true. When I asked last year they told me, that it would have to be produced to order, too. Best Thomas

...  

To you a great weekend as well

Looking very sharp indeed 👌🏻😊👍🏻

The catch was a Kudoke 2 with a bright MOP dial. It still felt like just yesterday. Pictures taken this morning with the sunrise. Have a very nice weekend, everyone! ...  

.

The idea indeed came from the K2 Bauhinia model with a black MOP dial. When I heard about this model, all pieces were sold out. I am a sucker for MOP dial, so I was quite disappointed in missing the release. Then a collector friend encouraged me to contac... 

Definitely something to consider for one of the coming fishing expeditions 😉👍🏻

I could not agree more. Have a nice weekend!

and a nice wrist shot 👍

Hello dear KM and friends ! I have a few pieces that I have had the time to photograph, from my recent catch to share with you this weekend… The Blake & Mortimer 75th Anniversary by Reservoir… The Secret Of The Swordfish … Mission To Saturn - Moon S watch...  

That Resevoir is a jump hour ? Looks so cool 👌🏻

It’s a lot of fun and if you can get the books they are a very good.

The Moonswatch is a playful timepiece. And I love the vintage Connie and its beautiful arrow head indexes. Enjoy these catches so much my dear friend! Cheers, Abel

Yes, I have the books. The artwork and the stories are very good. The background to my photos of the watch are from the books. The Secret Of The Swordfish. It’s a genuinely charming watch and the Jump Hour function offers endless fun. I feel the MoonSwatc... 

... fond of comic books. Regarding watch: agree that the jumping hours complication adds to the interest and charm of the watch. Interesting to know your view of the MoonSwatch which complements your Speedy collection. Enjoy these pieces so much my friend... 

The books are good fun and the artwork is superb. As for the MoonSwatch this one has suddenly gone missing from my collection 😉…. ...  

And as you well say artwork is superb. Keep enjoying so much my dear friend. Best, Abel

When the Reservoir piece was first announced, I wanted to get one. I really like the design and I wanted to add a retro graded watch to my collection. However, the info on the website was not super clear. I was not sure if the pieces were sold out already... 

I agree with you about the information on the website. The reality is that the watch was delayed several times because of Covid preventing the project being completed for many months. The end result was still worth the wait in my opinion. Thank you for yo... 

I am on their mailing list and will look out for the future collaborations and creations. Your “By Jove!!!” is in the running for this year’s GPHG Challenge category. It deserves a nomination at least in my opinion. Good luck to the brand!

I completely agree with you, It certainly deserves a nomination.

The other two real fun pieces - the Mission to Saturn looks like a Movember watch, with the mustache 🥸😉 Still to find a place where they have any for sale - and I guess by the time I do the draw might be gone 🤷🏻‍♂️ The downside of living in the provinces ... 

Keep trying for a MoonSwatch, the effort is well worth it IMHO.

Is a bit of a disadvantage, though 🤷🏻‍♂️

Such a colourful cheerful piece. Great pictures Cap’N

It’s giving me much pleasure.

I specifically liked the Moon Swatch with the Mission to Saturn.. cute dials and really nice shots as well ! - This week, another top one of your lineup is that wonderful Vintage Constellation: lots of character, lots of class ! Very well played, Cap !! 🙂... 

Thank you for your kind message and I hope you are enjoying your weekend. I’m really enjoying having some fun with my collection. It’s easy for watch collecting to get far to serious. Enjoy life to the max !

...  

...  

Ooooo

A proper Sea-Air-Land watch 👌🏻👍🏻

However if I push your concept a bit my latest catch also include getting several 20mm metal bracelet for my watch collection, so took the liberty to add one of my new combo as well! NEW WATCH: NEW BRACELET ...  

Enjoy your catches so much my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel

Most of these bracelet I got from StrapCode and they have several other models. In some of my posts earlier last week I also have used one I got on Amazon and another I got from Etsy but their quality was not as good as the ones from strapcode (all my wri...  

Great piece there. Wonderful Catch!

Thank you for sharing these shots. Have a nice week ahead my friend, Cheers, Abel

Have to say, the first two shots with the VC ( is the first strap some sort of a Cordura texture ?) I like a lot, yet the sequence of bracelets are great “equipment” for summer ! - Well done, Bravo ! Cheers, 🙂🙂

At the same time your new bracelets really transform the looks of the watches you have fitted them with - very fascinating indeed (perhaps I need to try the odd bracelet) 👌🏻👍🏻

I love it on the light blue strap, perfect ! The bracelet on your Reverso really elevates this watch to a different level. Good call !

Wanted something lower profile and smaller. Fit the bill. ...  

The first Cap’n Cook I’ve seen in this forum. Lovely piece.

Maneuvering a bit out of their material niche into a very lovely piece - great shot, too 👌🏻👍🏻

You make a good point about something lower profile.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. This is as “fishy” as I can get today. ...  

And your latest catch a true classic 🙌🏻👍🏻

and I love your photo. Well played !

Well, my latest acquisition is the completely insane impulse purchase of my cherished Hublot Edition Big Bang Unico Essential Grey on the internet. This watch was limited to 200 pieces and only available online. It wears perfectly, although I didn't even ...  

Sometimes the craziest things are the most enjoyable. Cheers Thomas

This version was the only one that encouraged me to make this online impulse purchase. I loved it from the first second I saw it. I have always had a latent interest in Hublot and have followed the development of the brand. But never have pulled the trigg... 

Great shots too

I have to say this one looks spectacular on you 🙌🏻👏🏻

Thanks a lot, dear KMII!

In your photos and I get the feeling that it will become your regular choice. Enjoy and make happy memories. Best regards Captain

.. it’s truly an all-around marvel ! Sincere congrats and keep enjoying it in the Best of your health ! Best, 🙂🙂

And now after a short intermezzo at the Hublot Boutiqe in Vienna it’s also keeping time perfectly. Thank you for looking and responding!! ☺️

. . . not. My Ed White and India Whiskey Charlie's CK 859 at supper Wednesday night. A '69 pre-moon also entered my collection this year. The third addition, a steel ref 2410 screw-back rg chronometer, isn't quite ready for prime-time because its seconds ...  

... to your collection I guess. Have a nice week ahead my dear friend. Abel

Good to see it on WristScan Art 👍

And it really seems like the CK is one of the most popular watches of the season here 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Well well, look at what we have here on Sunday morning. Our very own Sherman caught the rare and very elusive Silver Spinner M.A.D.1 Red Striper fish. ...  

Well played.

So well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's really fun, plus my wife occasionally helps too. ❤️
