This is a most interesting theme dear Arie... And I feel we will be viewing a good array of amazing watches this week end...
... Watches which haunted us and fired the impulse to buy them... but the pass of time (and the existence in our watch boxes of other more exciting pieces) relegate them to the bottom of a drawer and little wrist time.
I choose four watches in this category in my collection. It doesn´t mean I don´t like them any more. Just watches that see no wrist time since long ago.
An Omega 300 Seamaster with which I never developed a strong rapport I should confess.
My Breitling Chronomat, bought in 1993 (long before I even dreamed with becoming a watch collector) when I deeply fell in love with its awesome blue dial with gold sub dials.
My Oris Diver 1965 which made me dream with the watches used during my early attempts to scuba dive in the mid 1960´s.
and a Hamilton Jazz Master Open Heart with a beautiful metallic brown dial which reflects my fondness for squeletonized watches which at the same time I find so difficult to read the time.
Old loves which I still like and need to give a little more use indeed.
Have a great week end dear Arie and all our dear friends here at PuristS
Abel.

WRISTSCAN 9th March - Neglected love - Starts now!!
Lets face the pain and dig up your lost and neglected love. Find those neglected watches! And give ‘m a stage this weekend. It looked so good on Instagram....🤦🏻♂️ Dear AHCI watch. From a Dutch master. So cool, but at the same time hardly worn. Why? I’ve ...
Omg!! Set the GO and AP free. I have some extra wrists....🍻.
Beautiful pics and watches.
You remember I called dibs on the Rimowa...
Should you ever decide it’s getting too little wrist time 😉
Bulova Accutron Astronaut. Mid 1960’s 14k Gold coolness
Really special watch but gets zero wrist time. ...
Cool Bulova, Frank
I think when it comes to collecting vintage, it is not unusual that some watches do not get wrist time. They are still enjoyable and fit to a collection, but do not necessarily get worn.
Really is a cool watch...
But, I can see why (IMO) it doesn't get much time to shine.
Well, I must admit
my Richeville Day/Night has been in the box far too long. The love is still strong, so you're WS made me take it out and I will wear it the entire weekend! CC ...
What???
You know what I had to go through for this one? Hell, man, pure hell. Oh well, at least I got a free coffee out of it.
I know, but as I said, the love is still very strong.
and next time we do Grappa D-Style
Last couple of months I neglected all my watches for just one....
my shiny my precious But neglecting this one bothers me. HAGWE D ...
For the first I get it for second I don't... it's your signature watch for me
Great theme A! Cheers D
Great theme dear Arie , and i know what you mean with ,, they looked so good on Internet ,, 😉
I need to travel a long way just to pick them up 😉 I also never wear this first edition Staudt 😔 And these two CvdK,s Maybe i need to give them more love ! ...
I like the Staudt a lot.
The 7 Friday (or however you write that), sorrry, but I understand why you don't wear. But the CvdK, those are so you. What gives? Why not?
The Staudt and the two CvdKs are really cool
My favorite being the black dial one! Would love to see it live one day 🙏🏻
Here is mine. It really is completely forgotten.
A perfect theme for today as I have nothing better to do anyway. So I pulled this one out, the JLC Master Control Master Grand Reveil. A long time ago, I really wanted this watch and loved its combination of PC and alarm. But, it is really large on my wri...
Can't recall ever seeing this on your wrist.
So a truly forgotten piece. Are you wearing it today? Giving it some love? How thick is it? 15 mm?
Your right . He dos offer applied hour markers on a few (petit)models (with MOP dail) but most are painted .
Will have a chat with him next time i see him to see if he will do it on future models ...
