Wristscan: Post your off-time, weekend, holiday watch etc.
Team,
Let's see your "off the record" watch.
The one that you wear when doing non-professional activities.
Here is my most recent one:
It's a micro brand from Indonesia, Athaya Vintage.
A clear homage to the Seiko 6105, with a modern "dressing".
Since today our winter weather is grey, I captured it in B&W:
Notice the 6105 styled case:
Wears like ... Victory (guess the movie)
Let's see yours (any watch on the wrist of a Purist is a Purist watch) and let's try to make this weekend thread a memorable one.
A wonderful weekend to all,
Nilo

Recreational purpose watch....
A mid-day walk by the Thames river. The other Thames of course :) An early morning coffee run.... And last but not least ....playing with my watch against a living room standing lamp's light ;) HAGWE Edward ...
A Sinn is always fun ...
My U1 is also my recreational watch. Like yours, literally indestructible. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you nilomis....
my Sinn is a lots of fun and I take pretty good care of it. :) Best Edward
Do you need the car to get coffee..?!
Man, then I would sit in my car all day....! ;) HAGWE Blomman
I often brew my own at home...
but driving and sipping on a cup of coffee has this quality to it that is hard to explain, I enjoy it :) Cheers Edward
Well, let me see what to chip in.. Actually.. ;))
.. There are several, some with a special twist, others with special memories, or simply one, that I love to take along when " Off",, One, that I often take, to have two in one: Reverso Gd GMT She is a cute companion on the road.. JLC Parking E 3161..make...
A JLC is all...
Sports, casual, formal. I'm waiting for my future U.S. DSA ... Five months and counting. Cheers, Nilo
The Reverso seems a perfect companion
as you get two watches in one. So easy to travel "light" :) Best, CC
Ah, the TT DSA...!
Thank you for the reminder, HS. I need to bring mine out for the summer! :) HAGWE Blomman
Well.. Rarely I take her for the "OFF".. But specifically for you..
An alltime fav for me Type XX - real love, yes.. Best & Cheers !! ...
That looks like a very nice holiday!
Dear hs111, your triplet is gorgeous. I particularly like the two sides of the Reverso which make for two watches within one case. Especially on holiday when you have a limited watch carrying capacity this is quite handy. The parking alarm JLC may be usef...
Thx for your nice words & kind interest !..
It\'s pretty much as you described: - holiday triplet.. Also from my side HAGWE & Best to you & yours ! hs. )

... to make any watch fan very happy! I specially love the JLC TT DSA US! In my wish list definitively! Keep enjoying your beauties! ANd have a great week end my friend! Kind regards, Abel.
Something different for a holiday
How about a boot camp holiday this summer to get into shape? … and bringing a suitable military watch. Mimo WWII “Dienstuhr Heer” HAGWE, CC ...
Mimo and GP
so my understanding is that GP was bought by a German (!!!) Herr Graeff from Pforzheim in the early 20th century and they had the Mimo brand which in paticular was popular in America. For a while they sold basically GP watches branded Mimo in America, but...
Almost....
Yes, MIMO bought GP and GP survived, that part is true.... But, GP was used in North/south America and Asia while MIMO was more used in Europe. Best Blomman
Awesome catch, CC! :)
That one you need to show me next time we meet! :) HAGWE Blomman
no more holidays for me
but as you can see I am more casual clothes than suits so ...
That's the MC ....
That I'm hunting. Sporty and cool. I'm also a casual person and I don't know if my suit, notice the singular, fits. Cheers, Nilo
When you will be ready...
you could find one easily I think. from time to time one spotted on online sale as used.. but at least you are hunting for a NOS?
I'm hunting one here ....
Because our customs are worst than a vampire to tax heavily anything. Cheers, Nilo
This one we do not often see here!
Great watch, but not much talked about... HAGWE Blomman
yes underrated
pretty cool complication, sporty but not too much. I like it, sometime I wear it on rubber, sometime on leather. This is fun and quite versatile. Have a good week end too Tyo
Still is ...
always will be but once in a while one need to calm nerves :) even if dial is blue ;) Yours D
Exuberant but not as much as...
red loafers and Reverso ;) Thank you dear friend for kind words Damjan
Perfect color ensamble dear Damjan! You are ready to ...
... fight trouble with these pro tools in fluo colors! Have a nice week end my friend! Very cordially, Abel.
Summer is in full blossom
dear Abel It would be great to have you here for glass or five of grappa ;) Cordially yours D
No vacation yet, but if, it would look something like ....
This .............. Or this.................... Or this...................................! :) HAGWE Blomman ...
Indeed miracle! ;)
So far I think we had like 4 days of sun, the rest...... Best Blomman
You would choose the ....
CK 2913 over the E 857?! And I thought youwere a JLC fanatic, my friend...! ;) HAGWE Blomman
Well.. That just defines the sequence of desire.. ;))
1/ Manly \'cause the E857 in good condition is near impossible to find.. 2/ for the 2913 some hope left, unless prizes have gone through the roof ) That way, I\'m alays happy to see these two, whenever we meet .. Best, my friend hs
A few more casual watches
Hi All I don't tend to swap over for weekends - but here are a few of my more casual watches. HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Th last one, the Seiko ...
Is an amazing well designed watch. It makes an ideal beater. Cheers, Nilo
Seiko 5s always good
Hi Seiko 5s are great watches - amazing value, in hose movement & tough as old boots. Cheers JML
Pol jot alarm
Hi Thanks. One of the reasons I chose it was due the fab dial. For me it really jumps out at you. Cheers JML
Aaahhh, the Sonata !.. One of your absolute treasures !..
You need to bring her along, next time we meet, pls !.. Love her !.. She\'s got it all, really !.. Superb pics, needless to say, my friend ! ) Very Best & Cheers !! hs
It will be in my luggage and on my wrist this summer, hs.
So, if you want to have a gathering in North Italy... ;) Best, Nicolas
Great choice dear Nicolas! It matches with sunny days and tan arms! but...
... I´m a bit surprised viewing it with the garlic background! Did you feel ok after the photo session? I was sure Vlad wouldn´t resist the "vista" of garlic! Lol! Sublime watch! I wish you a great week end my dear friend!! Abel.
Gracias, Amigo. The best way to keep yourself in strong shape is to submit yourself
To such experiences... ;) Un abrazo, Nicolas
Black and orange...
I know at least two Purists that can't refuse such devilish appeal :) ;)
Those oldies ...
In special the Rolex, are great. Is a shame that I simply cannot wear one here where I live. Ten in ten robbers here are Rolex "collectors"!!! Cheers to the peaceful Malaysia. Thanks, Nilo
Not only where u are, Nilo these things happened.
Where I am depending which area, robbers do go for the Crown too. During lunch or dinner in open or enclosed areas. Nowadays less of it happening...hopefully. But if u come here, do contact me so that I can offer you protection ;) it's pretty safe...not t...
Summer is spent..
mostly in or around water. So I'm not taking any chances with water ingression. :) HAGWE! Fernando ...
What a great SD...
I miss mine, that as robbed. Strong and simple. A true beauty and your pictures made justice to it. Cheers, Nilo
Hardly a beast...
the bezel measures a mere 39mm, small by today's standards for a diving watch. I do not have much info on the watch other than its ref. no. PMQ5-2043 and that its from from the late 90s. Titanium case, quartz movement (no info on the calibre), 200m water ...
