Watch of the Month seemed the most difficult category . . .
. . . and Goodfellow's Ploprof . . .
. . . enjoythemusic's uncommon CW . . .
. . . K's Chopard technical tour de force . . .
. . . Watchslvr's refreshing NOMOS . . .
. . . and Filip's sentimental selection, our own PuristSPro St Gallens.
The more I thought about it, though, the most compelling submission that harmonized with both our theme and person sharing was Marcus' UN Planetarium.
Marcus has owned his Planetarium ever since I've known him; what I never realized until this weekend is that he was drawn to science fiction.
I really should've known by his taste in watches.
Hope to see you all in March for the next session of Wrist Scan!

Books and Authors Wrist Scan is now closed . . .
. . . with yours truly working on judgements presently. Thanks to all who participated; I hope we've all learned a little from one another. Art ...
Wrist Shot honors were a bit strained this month . . .
. . . as there weren't that many that adhered to the theme. Wrist shots aplenty, but not with books in the background. Kurt posted this reverse wrist shot of his Rolex . . . . . . Cap shared his Speedy taking in a speed theme . . . . . . Abel got into the...
The book is well worn. Once again I am thrilled and humbled to be in such esteemed company.
Thank you Dr! And I wish everyone here Happy Grilling and Bon Appétit!
Judging Static Photo, on the other hand, was . . .
. . . a major strain. So many candidates to consider; here are most of them. Mary Anny's Rolex . . . . . . Cap's Big Three icons . . . . . . K's sophisticated yet subtle UG . . . . . . jml's Genève flanked by incomprehensible text(!) . . . . . . followed ...
Many thanks for judging this weekend Art - a mammoth undertaking considering you covered all categories.
I appreciate the win - by a nose!🤣. Many great entries in this category so thrilled with the gold.
You too Abel!
I loved the photo of your Omega with the family bible. The timeless presence of real books - and in particular family bibles - allows for connection across time and generations that e-readers will never replace.
Fantastic veredict dear Art!! Big congrats to all winners and mentions. So nice to be able to know about our participants tastes around books, authors and watches.
Thank you for mentioning my shots as well. Have a nice week ahead dear friends. Best, Abel
A belated thank you for the recognition! Congrats to the winners!
And a thank you for hosting a fun WristScan! I enjoyed seeing what's on everyones wrists and book shelves.
With bated breath, I shall wait! 🥸
Maybe it'll give me a reason to pop a battery in the Marine Chronometer.
Several interesting candidates in our new Classic Category . . .
. . . starting with Cap's Bulova . . . . . . K's UG . . . . . . and Minerva (movement is vintage even if the watch isn't) . . . . . . jml's ca '66 Genève . . . . . . Abel's Rolexes . . . . . . and NOS Omega Constellation . . . . . . and Greg's Croton. Thi...
Thank you Art ! …
The “Classic” category came up with some really interesting timepieces for this edition. Congratulations to Abel and JML.
Thanks for the place & congratulations to all the other winners
As for the text in the background, it's a phylogenetic tree for wagtails - and I don't understand either! Cheers & thanks to everyone for a great Wristscan JML
Watch of the Month seemed the most difficult category . . .
. . . to judge. Several personally compelling entries such as Myles' Planet Ocean chrono . . . . . . and Goodfellow's Ploprof . . . . . . enjoythemusic's uncommon CW . . . . . . K's Chopard technical tour de force . . . . . . Watchslvr's refreshing NOMOS ...
Congratulations to Marcus !
It was good to see a UN Planetarium being shown for our theme this weekend. Congratulations also to everyone mentioned for WOTW.
