The WS for the 6th of February - ‘Winter is Coming’ - is live!

Dec 06, 2019,04:33 AM
 

Sorry for the slight delay - we’re traveling and both kids had a simultaneous meltdown, which can happen at this age 🤷🏻‍♂️


Still, here we are - as is the winter ❄️ 

So let’s see your winter shots, whatever that means at your specific location! New or old, home or traveling - as winter is coming all interpretations are welcome 👍🏻

The judging will take place on Sunday evening so plenty of time. Looking forward to seeing your cool to freezing pictures and wishing you all a great weekend - from the snowy Ural mountains 😉

Here are my entries to get us going. Starting with some winter testing of the Seiko SRPA21 I did some years back in Norway (here:  www.watchprosite.com  for the original story) and adding some newer ones 😊

Bluebird Mountain Days

 
 By: colton_d : December 6th, 2019-04:54
Earlier in my career, I was fortunate enough to be tasked with a significant amount of travel. One perk I would always press for, was the freedom to stay a few extra days wherever my projects took me in order to enjoy the sights. Western Canada quickly be...  

Great shots and a Speedmaster....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2019-06:10
Perfect 👌

That’s amazing!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:48
And a part of the world I am yet to visit. Great Speedy shot 👌🏻

Cannot say enough good things

 
 By: colton_d : December 6th, 2019-09:00
Vancouver is such a beautiful and attractive city to visit, not to mention some great ADs in the area worthy of stopping by. A daytrip to the north brings you to Whistler, and all the beauty of the Canadian rockies you could ask for. Highly recommend it i...  

Will certainly do so!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-09:02
At the moment we’re living somewhere similarly cold and far away but this will change eventually 😊

Not bad, either! [nt]

The Clock in the Village Square

Yes, the snow is fake. But so is everything else 😉 ...  

Made me smile...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2019-06:11
Can you imagine waking up to a Seiko that big 😮

Perfect!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:49
I said quite clearly it was open to interpretation and you did that really well 👌🏻

Thanks a lot, Nico!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:50
From the times when there was more time for stuff like that 🤷🏻‍♂️

A very nice theme, my friend, and beautiful shots of yours 👍🏻 I will play...

 
 By: shortys home : December 6th, 2019-05:39
... with some archive shots of mine, since weather here is just grey, wet and miserable - no one wants to see that 😉 Here are some more friendly winter shots from last year, featuring some Blancpain timepieces against the purity of fresh snow: Have a grea...  

The Rg/Green Combo!

Henrik, Beautifully captured; the combination of green nato and Rg case is so alluring. Thanks for sharing

Great shots Henrik ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2019-08:13
Very icy 🥶

Truly fantastic, Henrik, like always 👌🏻

And excellent support 😊

Too long since I have done it...

Time to teach our daughter, too 😊

Excellent shot! [nt]

This one's gone but not forgotten ... ...  

Fantastic shot 👌🏻

So crisp!

Thanks Nicolas!

 
 By: Chromatic Fugue : December 6th, 2019-12:33
It took about ten years, but I now have a much clearer sense of what I like and will keep for the long term.

A scattering of snow

 
 By: jml_watches : December 6th, 2019-06:18
A few shots from when we had some snow. Seems a rare occurrence now & causes chaos no matter how little we get. Cheers JML ...  

Trains and watches are a regular theme - have the joy of commuting

 
 By: jml_watches : December 6th, 2019-09:56
when they work they're good, but when it goes wrong chaos ensues.

Those JLCs look so cool with this background!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:53
Great shots, all 👌🏻

Thanks :) [nt]

Thanks a lot!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:54
Something a bit different and the Crazy Hours complication is great fun, as is the wrist hugging, curved case back 😊

Ok... Mine...

 
 By: amanico : December 6th, 2019-06:56
Not mine... Yet. ...  

Merci, JFT. [nt]

Great watches 👌

Yep. [nt]

Both are great of course but I have to say I could really see you with this Duometre 👍🏻

Me too! :) [nt]

Merci, Tony! [nt]

Brrrr... great shots to open the thread for this week end WS contest dear friend KM !! I can almost feel the cold when viewing them. First one is really an awesome close up!

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 6th, 2019-07:00
We are entering our very hot Summer down here, but will search my HD for some suitable shots to participate this week end! Have a nice week end my friend! Abel.

Excellent Abel - looking forward to seeing them!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:56
The first ones were from the times, when I could set up stuff overnight, to get the desired effect 😉

Ha ha ha!! Times change my friend! I know that so well! Lol!

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 6th, 2019-14:47
Will post with much pleasure! Cheers! Abel

Winter? WINTER??? I gotcha Winter right here!!

 
 By: NickO : December 6th, 2019-07:18
What, stick around the frigid mid-Atlantic waiting to de-ice my testicles? No, homie. Nothing says Winter quite like chillin' at the beach in 80 degree heat at the Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne, Miami, Florida. Photo taken at 1:05pm Thanksgiving Day. No anno...  

What can I say...

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-08:58
You do winter the way we all should! Perfect watch and fantastic shirt to go with it 👌🏻

Wow talking about a Dream Watch 😍 [nt]

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : December 6th, 2019-12:30

Bravo Nick! [nt]

 
 By: aperna : December 7th, 2019-10:30

Well... There's no winter nor snow in the place where I live so this week's wrist scan is pretty hard for me...

 
 By: JFT : December 6th, 2019-07:31
So... As long as I have white background, it should be fine, right? Or rather, festive mostly related to this season as well, isn't it? Or rather, would this snow flaky dial would do? Or the gloomy sky? Either way, I'll just stay here in my blanket, it's ...  

As said...

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-09:04
As long as winter is worked in somehow, such as with the white background or the festive food that’s great 😊 Great selection, too - the second shot being my favorite 👍🏻

That’s a superb Omega lineup 😮....

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2019-09:20
Lots to like, thanks for posting them.

Thanks for your kind words!

 
 By: JFT : December 7th, 2019-22:53
I'm glad somehow that I could join this winter theme in a tropical country 😁

Not easy ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 8th, 2019-02:15
But it’s great to have you with us this weekend.

Thanks!

 
 By: JFT : December 7th, 2019-22:55
Come here, Nicolas! It's even warmer here 😂. It's mostly raining at night and the temperature was around 18-20 degrees, but, at noon it was around 30+ in average 😂.

The arrowhead marker Connie with crosshairs...

 
 By: NT931 : December 7th, 2019-04:13
... And the black waffle dial Seamaster are both divine!

Thanks! Your entry are also sublime!

 
 By: JFT : December 7th, 2019-22:58
Though it's missing a shot of Nautilus sprinkled with tropical beach sand to recreate that tropical winter theme 😉

Thank you Abel!

 
 By: JFT : December 7th, 2019-23:02
Kind of mind blowing that its age already about 60 years since their birth!

Absolutely! I share same thoughts!!

A pleasure to view and commenting your great collection my friend!! Cheers! Abel

The last two being my absolute favorites 👌🏻

Thanks KMII..

The last one was in Lapland patiently waiting for the northern light😉

I would say yes......we were there for 5 days...

 
 By: S F : December 7th, 2019-00:12
this was the first day when we arrived at the lodge and the only day out of the 5 we managed to see it.... the other days were too cloudy ☹️ ...  

Seen it for the first time this February in Sweden...

 
 By: KMII : December 7th, 2019-07:46
It was a bit unexpected but no less beautiful as a result 👌🏻❄️

Wow! [nt]

A tropical "winter"

 
 By: NT931 : December 6th, 2019-08:43
Best enjoyed in flip-flops or barefoot, with a Patek ...  

Flip flops in winter have quite an appeal!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-09:08
Maybe not ideal for where I am now - although I have a colleague who doesn’t wear long sleeves outside unless it’s-30 or colder. Don’t have that constitution yet myself... Both shots are fantastic!

How about Moonboots 🥶 [nt]

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : December 6th, 2019-09:23

My kind of winter. [nt]

Well, this takes me back.......

 
 By: NickO : December 6th, 2019-13:19
I lived in a small town called Merkelbeek, just outside of Brunssum, for a year after I graduated from University. I can categorically state that it was the best year of my life (I'll leave it at that ) Thanks for the memories! NickO

Thats a great and beautiful area to live in my friend ,

 By: Subexplorer : December 6th, 2019-14:54
... as we are entering our very hot Summer were I live. Anyway I must confess I had very few opportunities of shooting my watches with snow so my Winter shots need a bit of imagination to view them! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear KM and all our friends ...  

Great spectrum of shots, Abel!

 
 By: KMII : December 6th, 2019-23:22
I find dive watches work great in snow ❄️ And the rain shots are simply superb!

Hope that you are having a great weekend.

Winter???

 
 By: kkochheiser : December 7th, 2019-09:01
Best avoided, if only through fantasy and reminiscing. For me, I'd take a Pan Am Clipper to the South Seas, to follow the steps of Paul Gauguin and Jaques Brel all the way to Tahiti, the Marquesas and Tuamotu. Scuba dive the warm French Polynesian waters ...  

I’m with you, Kent!

 
 By: KMII : December 7th, 2019-22:04
Sounds really appealing right now 👌🏻 And just the shots to go with it!

Awesome photos... I think you already won this weeks competition!

Even though it’s watch free, I really have to say I enjoy the third very much - something I could do with right now 😉

We don’t get snow here, rather grey cloudy days on occasion with rain, then back to blue sky!

Not really an option here at the moment...
