Welcome to WristScan dear friends, This weekend our theme is “Time to enjoy”... The theme was inspired by my conversation with a member of our community when discussing the balance between preserving and enjoying our special watches. A big part of the sat...
One of my first watches, when I joined the watch forum in 2005, was Seiko SKZ209 - I was really impressed by the quality/price ratio. Then I discovered vintage pieces and I owned many Lord Matics, flyback chrono, Grand Seiko and King Seiko. Especially las...
It deserves to be celebrated on Wristscan. I would love to see a few more shots over the weekend of this one if you have the time. Thanks for joining us Best regards The Captain
. . . in a curious twist would prefer NIB. If any watch deserves to be considered a bargain, KS is it. They deserve our affection and attention for crafting excellence at an affordable price.
In addition, that strap selection is a bit exuberant, but really lifts the spirits of the dial with a “ Bang”, IMO ! Congrats to such a fine piece and continue to wear it in the very Best of your health ! Superbly chosen and great pics, as well, almost ne...
and only realized much later what I had gotten into: Then this one came along and now I have a contest which one to favor... Both are about the same age and the geiger counter records a similar radiation for both of them... So sometimes, the flip of a coi...
It's a very basic story on the 2998: I stumbled upon it on the auction platform in the old days when we hardly knew anything about these and the seller description was very vague. My main reason for me to buy it was the bracelet - of all things! How "illi...
It was on a German dealer website and I nailed it within the blink of an eye after it popped up. Just lucks to be at my computer at the right time. Been told that there were several others just a bit slower than I was... Cheers RIchard
Hi All I've been mostly wearing my Bellmatic this week Shot from today on something else that relys on springs and gears. Finally everything is better with cake 😋 Cheers JML ...
. . . farm-fresh loquats! Delivered last night from Uncle Jake's orchards. You haven't lived 'til you've had fresh loquats and coffee for breakfast ;-) . . . ...
The lounge in the hotel which I stayed in allowed guests to smoke after 1100 pm. I was sitting there alone, staring at my watch, just waiting for the moment to come. Around a quarter to eleven, all those good gentlemen began to knock their tables using th...
. . . that just came back from my watchmaker's shop today. This '58 ref 2852 was my third Omega, acquired over ten years ago to complement Black Connie. It was serviced by my then-current watchmaker in 2010. Mr B (his first initial really is 'B', but it m...
. . . with undivided attention for at least a week, sometimes two. So far, White Connie appears to be performing quite well, a second or two ahead after eighteen hours on my wrist. If this level of performance pans out, it will be the first time it's perf...
It looks jut the way I like them. Gently enjoyed by a caring owner. The balance staff is a common problem for us collectors, many incorrect ones used over the years.
watchonthewrist, it looks very good. I must try this one as soon as possible. I’ve been a little distracted hunting another watch recently. I’m sure you know the feeling ;-)) ... Best regards The Captain
... I brought for my few weeks of holidays: my ref 14060M Submariner, and a watch I added a couple of days ago: a watch I have been wishing for long: the classic Pasha from Cartier which was discontinued but reissued last year with an interesting steel ve...
The Submariner will always be a special watch in any version. This one looks perfect in your photos. The Pasha looks very good on your wrist, congratulations on getting this one. Definitely time to enjoy ! Best regards Your old friend, The Captain
in any refererence. This one has been on my wrist for many years and scuba diving with it. Glad you like the Pasha and appreciate your compliments. A completely different character from the Sub but a beautiful classic design anyway. I' m happy with this c...
... or straps a breeze. It came with the bracelet and two croco straps and I feel I will be ordering a third set of straps. Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Best! Abel
I like the shot with the 4 fish but also that wonderful “full splash” snap - Anyway, well done.. With the Pasha Cartier there are other features and appeal : absolutely love that sportive look, the sort of downdressed appearance and still, it’s a Jeweller...
agree with you that a Submariner is an all around watch, tough and waterproof an ideal tool to have on the wrist when vacationing near the sea and pool and expecting to enjoy water swimming. The Pasha is a purchase during my trip of a watch I've been cons...
The Sub is one of your classics but the Pasha here intrigues me. Unlike some previous versions there seems to be no lume. Is the WR still diving compatible? And it seems there is a quick change strap mechanism? Cool pieces and I hope you enjoy them this w...
... and I thought it was the ideal watch for a vacation to be spent near the sea and pool. The new version of the Pasha has blued hands. No lume. The WR says "water resistant 100 meters" on the case back, so I' m not taking this watch to the pool or sea a...
... playing with straps it’s part of the enjoyment of owning a watch! Quick change systems are being adopted by several brands now and guess more brands will follow suit soon! Cheers! Abel
... please excuse my damn phone, but this is what I’m enjoying at time t, not a fancy watch nor an expensive car, yet both make me embrace the day with a smile. Go figure ? Always a delight to see the purist’s entrance, and a well chosen thema dear Captai...
I remember seeing a Diablo years ago and loved it. It was out of my price range then. This piece came up as new and I just went for it. It’s not the best version IMO but the simplicity of the dial makes the movement stand out
Here we go.. MIH (“Indie”) up in Silva Plana, St Moritz Habring2 Erwin - cool and unobtrusive appeal JLC Polaris Geographic lets the mind dream for hopefully soon travelling.. PP 5510 G Worldtime An alltime Classic: JLC Master Moon Calendar Breguet 5817 M...
And yes, the blue Memovox Tribute also for me is a special choice ! Thx again and great hearing from you. Have a good upcoming week ! All my Best to you & yours !! Cheers !!
... with so many beautiful watches and shots shared by you every weekend!! It would be very difficult to choose just one watch or shot if I were pressed to do that. May be I could be accused of being biased if I name the Patek WT or the Railmaster? Or tha...
Been enjoying these 3 the past 2 months. Waited this one for 21 months. The wait was worth it. This one came back from the spa with a custom blue enamel dial Latest acquisition, the dial is just mesmerizing ...
Spoilt for choice, I love all three ! Don’t make me choose !!! Hypothetical question for you ... If your house was burning down which one would you save ?
. . . playing in a charity baseball game at Dodger Stadium. He was clearly out after trying to turn a single into a triple, but as it happened to be a fixed game where the amateurs got all the calls in their favor, the umpire called him 'safe'. Falk then ...
Friends, if there is one sentiment that resonates with me it is the philosophy of appreciating and enjoying the time we are alloted. Having survived two different cancers, sudden heart arrest while running on a treadmill and an episode of sepsis that near...
.. And absolutely Yes, enjoying the time alotted to us ! Your statements resonate with me, how well felt & shared! With special greetings, hs. PS: Like your lovely Breguet and you pls. Continue to stay well ! )
Because it's new in this week. Ming 27.01 'extra plat'. Excellent execution and great bang for buck: a credit to a couple of our fellow Purists who were responsible for its design and manufacture - congratulations lads! Cheers, pplater. ...
This thread is for me. My special Breguet took years to find and the joy was palpable when I received the message it was available. The special thrill was knowing that Nicolas also had one of these watches. Having a shared watch with a fellow collector is...
I am not much for the safe queen concept and while one might say that as there are no very expensive pieces in our collection at home that the point is a shaky one, the watches get worn, even if that means some ‘patina’ as a result 😉 So here goes: ...
but since moving on to a job where i prefer to wear "lower profile" watches for various reasons, i do appreciate my grand seiko a lot of course, when i'm not heading to the office nor meeting colleagues, i will gladly wear these when the occasion is suita...
and when asked, i can truthfully say, "it's a Seiko." when answers like "it's a patek philippe" and "it's a rolex" can sometimes result in awkward situations
Here's the few pieces I enjoyed this week...Have a great weekend Everyone! Here's a very unusual pair...curiously, their references are exactly 10 numbers apart, 5177 vs. 5167 ;-) And finally, a big temptation I was able to resist (at least for now) at on...
Also like the Double shot with the Aquanaut; low key & unobtrusive. - This one keeps the head down, just for the cognoscenti, in a way.. Thx for your share, enjoyed your tic-tacs & the pics ! Best, hs
A huge plus is it’s watch which is fully appreciated only by its owner and select other watch enthusiasts...virtually unknown to everyone else!👍🥂 And here’s for enjoying my tic-tacs (I made better jokes in my life, I know but I couldn't resist..)😂😎 ...
... marvelous Country and of course to reunite with your beloved collection. Great choices you share and big Congrats on your superb new catch!! Enjoy your place, family and friends (and watches of course) so much! Hagwe! Abel
... (too many! I should say) temptations! Well you are fortunate to be able to view and consider to take it or let it go. Let’s see what you decide!! In any case keep enjoying your return to your Beautiful Country! Cheers! Abel
This is Patek 5177G-010, a rare handcraft made in part with miniature painting in part with enamel techniques. It represents Boccadasse, my favorite neighborhood in my hometown of Genova, and I was lucky to receive it exactly 3 years ago. There exists at ...
