WristScan

Dear Friends, this weekend's WristScan, " Our favorite recent pictures: moments that we look forward to living again, " is officially open! As announced yesterday, any watch-related pics taken during the past 12 months, that you personally find special or...  

Happy times that your sharing with us, good restaurants and good company, I’m sure that we all long to get back to enjoying these pleasures in life 🥂

to Papua New Guinea, here with Breitling in the Solomon Sea. Met Moses with his family on the water next to Tufi. ...  

Next time - hopefully soon - will go to Rabaul and the near volcano.

And a great location 👌

Thanks Brauner.

Comes from "one talk" which is "same language". Someone who talks the same language is no enemy. They have 845 different languages there.

If there is one moment of the past 12 months it is one very recent. It occurred in the middle of lockdown and would like to re-live it but then without lockdown On 23 March my first granddaughter was born and our daughter in law her self celebrated her bi...  

And the one thing, the only one thing I don’t like of this forum is that the pictures don’t upload in the order I want to and that the two best pictures simply didn’t upload at all. ...  

And one day, when she has your daughters age, I’ll teach her everything g about wat he’s and photography

A very nice choice! Is It a 36 mm Date Just?

Your warm words mean a lot to us. No it’s not 36 but I belief 31 or 32 mm

Really reminds of the important things in life.

The rolex looks great too, but the sleeping baby wins the best photo prize in my book!

And it’s such a grateful feeling if you’re in a position to buy something for your daughter in law with the message to wear it, enjoy it and hold on to it until that day she sees fit to pass it on to her daughter. But like the old Patek commercial but the... 

I’m so pleased that this has worked out for you and your family.

The only thing still missing is that I can5 fly home so haven’t seen the baby yet. Since back home is The Netherlands, she will probably ride a bicycle by the time I get to see her for first time

Better to remain safe.

No use in taking the risk now that we’ve come so far with the family

I hope all this .... is over soon and you can enjoy your family to the max without restrictions 🙏🏻

not All newborns are beautiful but she certainly is. I can see her grand mother has a similar opinion 😁

From the bottom of my heart for such kind words. Yeah you’re right, that look on my wife’s face says more than a thousand words

Hope you can soon be reunited with the rest of your family!! Cheers😀

I thought about it long and hard and decided to share it with my friends at this forum

And you know I mean that from bottom of my heart

I imagine that these had been very complex moments to live: the mix of happiness of receiving a new born with the concern for the positive covid tests, and the impossibility of meeting your grandchild immediately. The radiant face of your wife as the gran... 

Your warm words, as always express exactly my feelings. It is because of these special friendships I’ve built on this forum, that I decided to do just and share the full story. The support from all of you is heartwarming.

I wish you´ll be able to reunite with your wife and grand daughter soon. Stay safe and healthy my friend! Abel

So happy that everyone is safe and healthy again!

Yeah it’s been quit stressful I might say. Hopefully the travel ban will be lifted in couple of weeks so I can fly home and see our grand child as well

I can imagine dramatic and conflicting emotions of both joy and happiness, worrying and longing. I’m really happy to hear the health issues have smoothed out so it more a question of time before you can meet your first grand child. Yes, I really, really w... 

Your support means more to me than you can imagine, tak tuzend tak When I was searching for the most appropriate watch I already quickly decided that Rolex would be the perfect brand. Our daughter in law wasn’t into watches when she became part of the fam... 

I gifted my wife a watch when we married 7 years ago. I had something like a Cartier or a reverso in mind, but I let it for her to choose. I took her to my AD in Hamburg who is a fantastic guy and watch adviser and he proposed a Datejust a little similaer... 

To many the name may be bit dodgy or not upper class enough. But I’ve never ever met someone who tried on a datejust and didn’t like it. And that’s regardless of age and gender. Happy to read that your wife is still happy with it ?and apparently with you ...

Stay safe and well !

Can’t wait to travel again!!!!

But I think it’s going to be a long time for me.

And people trying to teach soccer lessons from a computer. Businesses never fail of thinking of ways to make $$$ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

... Probably because travels (specially to far places from our own home town) is a reflex of our personal freedom which is presently compromised by the Covid problem. I wish this will end soon and we will be able to resume our trips Over Seas! Stay safe a... 

Yes, COVID has put some serious brakes on all of our travels huh? Well, here I am, hoping too, that we should venture out like migrating birds in short time.

Great shots 👌🏻

...  

JLC is a great choice for elegance but allowing a bit of understated luxury. Right now. Not sure I would be caught in public with a full gold Rolex, but at the same time, my wrist aches for mechanical wonders.

Win!

That makes the watch even hotter I suppose

Great watch !

Did you get my PM ?

... their glory. I wish you will be able to fully enjoy them with full freedom and safety as in old times very soon my friend. In the meantime stay safe and with good health my dear friend! Un abrazo desde las Pampas del Sur mi buen amigo! Abel

... ojalá todo vuelva a la normalidad muy pronto!! Cuidate mucho! Abrazo! Abel

The 5070 works quite well in the Nico of Arabia setting, too 👌🏻👍🏻

And what a fun country this is for a stop over. Have a great weekend gents. GEO ...  

You made a great choice !

Thanks FabR for the great theme of "moments that we look forward to living again". Since we've been asked to select recent pictures, I thought I'd pick two taken this week. The first picture looks back , and is a picture of a GP 8846 Olimpico that I bough...  

That looks beautiful, Congratulations on getting this piece.

Two great pieces and a good story to go with it 👌🏻👍🏻

You know how much I love FP Journe watches. Keep safe my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel

The pics were taken in Dresden about four years ago during my visit to the Lange manufacture. The first pic was taken after lunch and I am very sure coffee was involved somewhere. The bonding with fellow collectors and friends was especially memorable. Th...

Hi All One of my favourite watches - my Futurematic. So to be able to enjoy a day out with it while the sun shines - something to look forward to & something I've enjoyed in the past. Currently under the care of JLC & looking forward to having it back. Ch...  

Return might be a bit delayed, but it's in good hands. Cheers JML

Futurematic being only one, Geophysic is another that comes to mind. Cheers JML

Very remiss of me ... ...  

Thanks for being our great host for WristScan 🥂

Very nice composition

... your post before posting mine! Thank you! I love your first shot so much. It brings a very relaxed feeling while viewing it with your superb Pam 249 on wrist. I wish you and Mrs Scarlet are doing well and staying safe my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel

That photo holds special memories for us. I hope that you and Mrs Subexplorer are keeping well at this difficult time.

Have a nice and safe week end my dear Fab! Abel

You obviously have a lot of very good friends ;-)) ... The Panerai on your Grandson’s wrist looks like a 56mm special edition . Keep well and stay safe. The Captain

Best good wishes for you too my dear Captain! Cheers! Abel

I can feel your longing your precious family and friends. Stay safe my friend Warm regards Christian

Like many friends here I look forward to travelling again. Here are some travel photos to share Best of health to all ...  

Thanks you for taking the time this weekend to host - Be safe and stay healthy !

... and of course allow for superb backgrounds for our watch shots. That racing dial Speedy is wonderful! I wish Omega will launch a new version of that dial with the "new" 321 movement some day soon. Hagwe and stay safe my dear friend! Cheers! Abel

Be safe and stay healthy !

Especially the skiing photo.

Hopefully come this winter, things will be more normal Best regards

And now I have to listen too a noisy trampoline ; But life isn’t that bad we are still healthy, but have to stay at home ...

Stay safe at home ! Cheers! Abel

Getting five is that much better!

... such beautiful places like you show in your great shots!! Keep safe with your beloved ones! Best cordial regards, Abel.

I have the Corona virus to thank for! I hadn't been on a skateboard in 15 years but after two weeks of Quarantine with my 3 year old it was time to get creative. A quick call to my buddy to borrow his ride and a couple hours later, voila! My all-time favo...  

And glad that I had the trip and saw my family cuz who knows when traveling will be safe again. I also picked up this Eichi 2 during the trip. It was definitely a memorable trip. At Taipei 101, once the tallest building in the world ...  

...  

. . . from the last twelve months, Fab. Seamaster chronometer at Dodger Stadium. I'm piqued by the accidental capture of a fan wearing a Dodgers cap and jersey just above the Omega. Wrist shot of the humblest member of my vintage Omega collection . . . . ...  

. . . but never had a better performer. Off by a second over the course of a week . . . better even than the Genève chronometer, which is in the same ballpark.

How many times have you seen the Stones?

. . . and I have a ticket for another that will hopefully be rescheduled after being postponed.

. . . but that's Dad's birthday, so I got a ticket and airfare to Minneapolis for the next show on the 16th.

Curious inscription on that truck indeed! Stay safe my dear friend, and receive my big bear hug! Best, Abel.

. . . the other way around: vintage Omega has a grip on me .

Meanwhile, take care everyone! ...  

Keep safe dear S F!! All the best for you and your beloved ones! Abel

Keep well, stay healthy!

Let’s see... Picking up a grail watch... Matching the watch to the safety belt on aircraft... or flying more generally 😉 A refreshing swim in the Far East (and some seafood after 🦞🦀)... The sea more generally... Proper winter in Siberia (this was Kazakhst...  

Some things might change but I hope for the best 🤞🏻👍🏻

PS. And that VC is more and more classy every time I see it!🥂

It’s I believe the second picture I took of it, just after picking it up 😉 But yes, it’s a pleasure every time 👍🏻

... my dear friend KM!! Beautiful watches and shots as usual! Keep safe my friend! Abel

We will certainly learn to adapt and deal with the situation 👍🏻🤞🏻 Wishing you and your family all the best and to get through this safely and healthily 😊👍🏻

Best wishes for you and your family of good health and safety my dear friend! Abel

I really hope you are well my friend!

All good at this end - of course being cooped up is not fun but as long as we remain healthy it’s a price worth paying 🤷🏻‍♂️ Hope the same applies to you and your family 🤞🏻

I love this fun and crazy introduction you made. That’s why we love you my friend! My entry for the weekend More than anything, I miss traveling will my small family. Not the best picture but I hope you sense the spirit. Visiting my best friend who lives ...  

Good to see your family watch shot and your Nautilus looks superb. Unfortunately cancelling trips is all part of the current situation but we have to focus and plan for next year.

Yes, I suspect it will be at least a year before we can travel freely again. At least it’s what the papers here are saying. I am praying for a miracle for this situation to go away.

I wish you and your nice family to return to a normal and beautiful life soon!👍🥂 [nt]

I think you nailed it with this theme. Everyone here can relate to this topic and we are all thinking about the past and the future right now! Excellent work by you 👍😊 thank you. Stay safe Best Christian

... with much freedom up to a few months ago. I wish better times will return soon my friend. Keep safe with your family now! Best wishes and cordial regards, Abel.

I think our posts seem very related in a way, sharing many emotions and thoughts. At least I could fully relate to your post and pictures. Take good care, dear friend Best Christian

Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes, these are truly the most important values. I know you know. Stay safe till we meet again!
