Watch of the Week (drum roll...)

HONORABLE MENTION


NHC NOUVELLE HORLOGERIE CALABRESE by Watchonthewrist: 

This Vincent Calabrese Wandering Hours is the perfect watch for work. Mysterious, yet clear, clean and worth pondering during those long meetings. 
The only thing holding this photo back, for me, is the dark (shoe) above the wrist. I would have cropped or edited it out, or reshot the image. 
However, a big bonus for getting the date and hours to match!


THIRD PLACE

Kristjan's GS Hi-Beat Special. Another great work watch, worn with a classy shirt and coat with high-rise building in the fuzzy background. Strap, hands, clothing all in shades of blue.

NOTE: Okay, he's running this competition, and I'm Moderator of the Seiko forum -- you can shout "Fixed!" if you like. It's possible I'm biased. 

To avoid criticism I am only awarding him 3rd place. smile





SECOND PLACE

Tim Jackson's perfectly captured Octopus-free Kudoke watch. Beautiful hands, impressive expanse of dial, matching shirt. 
Simple, understated watchmaking - and perfect for spending one's days surrounded by diamonds and fine jewelry.





and THE WINNER

JPoros' fantastic shot of a Venturi watch actually in the process of being worn while working! (the fact that he seems to be a woodworker and it appears that his thumb is missing gives us an added point of contemplation).

Well done John!







Mike


PS - I wonder what the camera looks like after this shot!

Sorry guys, our child just got hospitalized so I am out for some time. Could I ask the judges to deliver their verdicts later today? Thanks! ...  

Looking like it wonโ€™t be tragic...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-00:52
Still the child needs to remain hospitalized till tomorrow. Thanks!

Omg i Hope everything's gonna be okay my friend ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Thank you!

Good to read that things seem to be better now!

 
 By: stromer : April 7th, 2019-01:01
My best wishes are with your little one, your wife and you. Best, Martin

Thanks a lot, Martin!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-01:13
Apparently itโ€™s something to be expected - namely that someone is always sick in the first six months ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ But itโ€™s anything but easy when you are a regular at the hospital โ˜น๏ธ

Oh, I understand (as far that us possible for someone who is not facing the same situation)

 
 By: stromer : April 7th, 2019-02:11
Wishing you the strength to see it through and that this situation may get better soon! Warmest regards, Martin

When winter comes...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-03:20
We will be fully ready ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Didnโ€™t start out that way...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-03:18
Heโ€™ll most likely be fine - but itโ€™s been stressful alright โ˜น๏ธ

Scariest life moments for sure rushing kids to hospital

 
 By: nomadgiles : April 7th, 2019-03:31
Best wishes to you all! G.

Speaking of scary...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-23:17
Then you get out of your building to go to the hospital and see this in front: Seemingly shooting a movie ๐ŸŽฅ ...  

Kind of :D [nt]

:))))) [nt]

The little one will come out stronger...

 
 By: mahesh : April 7th, 2019-02:33
Best, Mahesh.,

I just read the news...

 
 By: Mike H : April 7th, 2019-02:43
Good to see that it was not as bad as feared. I wish a speed recovery to the little one and a more relaxed weekend to the parents !

Thanks a lot Mike!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-03:20
Some more infusion and observation till tomorrow is what it looks like for the moment. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Relief to hear that

 
 By: cazalea : April 7th, 2019-08:27
I suspect it's very difficult being bi-country with little ones, busy job and life (and burden of WPS) Blessings on your child Mike

Thanks for the kind words, Mike!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-08:37
Apparently it takes half a year of adjusting, then it should be fine. Certainly not the easiest of periods just now ๐Ÿ˜‰

The little one is doing fine...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-23:18
Happy and cheerful, no findings in blood, stool or urine, no fever but keeps vomiting on a regular basis. So possibly an allergy...

Thanks a lot FabR!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-03:21
Definitely looking up in the meantime ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Let me start with my verdict for Static Shot:

 
 By: FabR : April 7th, 2019-04:35
Not an easy choice my friends, but it was great to review so many compositions of beautiful watches, original straps, and unusual backgrounds! So here we are: At Number 3, we find Abel (Subexplorer) and his gorgeous Milgauss sitting on an old Paris map, w...  

Thanks for the great judging...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-05:13
And congratulations to the deserving winners ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป

What a honor, thanks.

 
 By: Saxon : April 7th, 2019-05:40
It was my first post in the wristscan section.

Wow - thank you FabR!!

 
 By: nomadgiles : April 8th, 2019-00:11
And big congrats to Abel & Saxon too! Cheers, Giles.

Thanks for the superb judging, Mike!

And in spite of getting third place, for which I am grateful, letโ€™s assume I am not biased ๐Ÿ˜‰ Congratulations to the deserving winners ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Thanks Cazalea!

 
 By: jporos : April 7th, 2019-10:11
Thumb still there, just lots of drywall compound dust from sanding. No cameras were harmed in the production of the shot...

Haha thanks for the mention ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿค—

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 7th, 2019-13:56
This shot was taken during office hours so no modeling for a perfect wrist shot ๐Ÿ˜‰ Congrats to all winners . Wel deserved

John won in a landslide! [nt]

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : April 7th, 2019-15:14

Congrats to all winners! Beautiful shots and watches...

 
 By: NT931 : April 7th, 2019-17:22
...and I must say I'm finding the Kudoke increasingly attractive. A very clean look.

Thanks for the placing Mike!

 
 By: Tim Jackson : April 8th, 2019-13:54
Congrats to the winners this week. Fab pics as always! Cheers, Tim

Here we go with the wristshots verdict...

 
 By: Mike H : April 7th, 2019-08:31
I know we always say it but it is hard to be a judge in front of all these great entries, you did not make my task easy guys . I always start with a pre selection and then go for a shortlist within these, tough job but choosing is renouncing so let's go.....  

Congratulations to the deserving winners!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-08:35
And thanks for delivering this great verdict, Mike ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I am speechless

 
 By: Saxon : April 7th, 2019-09:14
Thanks for the honor and your kind words. I promise to post more pictures of this watch.

thanks a lot for the mention

 
 By: donizetti : April 7th, 2019-13:30
much appreciated and glad you like the piece - it is so very wearable so I'll have many occasions for more pictures! Best Andreas

Thanks for the mention my friend ๐Ÿค—

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 7th, 2019-13:59
Like you said i like to wear ,,under the radar ,,watches during office hours ๐Ÿ˜‰ Great verdict and congrats to all winners

Godspeed, KMII [nt]

 
 By: Centurionone : April 7th, 2019-13:12

Thanks NT931!

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2019-23:20
He seems fine generally but they still did not find out what causes the regular vomiting, so still in the hospital...

They got home last night...

 
 By: KMII : April 8th, 2019-17:43
Letโ€™s see how it progresses but looking good at the moment ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Thanks a lot, Abel!

 
 By: KMII : April 9th, 2019-22:23
Looking like all is fine, which is a relief for sure ๐Ÿ˜Š
