Best Wristshot

Aug 07, 2022,17:51 PM
 

Ooo it was a great community event this week. Weekend Watches - where we finally unwind after a long hectic/boring/regimented week, and do the things which represent life!


It could be drinking a beer at the local pub like JML or DrNo, or shopping at the local mall (with a Louis Erard x Vianney Halter), or swimming in a nice pool (like Yacomino) or even tending to the kids (underwater), fishing for marlins (wow!) or gardening. I wish everyone lives a weekend life everyday. I wish my life were a weekend even once a week. 

So here are my picks for the week:

































It is a very hard way to decide, so I removed the names first to remove bias. Next, I zoomed in and out, on each picture. Lastly I had a bottle of Rothschild (Cadet it is). And then the universe told me the answers.

Here are my favourite contributions with explanation: 

1) Brian spending his weekend scuba diving with his kids. Let that sink in..he spends time and effort on his children. And took a pic (albeit not so clear) of his MOP Sinn U2. But that moment is so organic. I wish I were in his shoes.



2) MTR and his fantastic composition of a Hublot and Deepsea and Blancpain FF on a yacht. I can almost touch the Hublot on the pic below, or imagine steering a yacht with that golden FF.






3) Pmh600 and admiring the simpler things nature has accorded to all of us, and the GO which matches the flowers all so well. Soothing to the eyes and soul. 



Lastly if today were my last day, I want to tell the truth in my mind. I would let the win go to MTR this week:

Thanks Mr M...

Indeed it is, even with its dial replacement because of a disaster dive in 1993!

Well Judged Cookies ….

You know that moment when one wants to say something, and the brain tells the heart no. And then when wine is added, in vino veritas. One gets bold enough to say what he/she thinks. Did you have similar moments like that?

For sure.

 
 By: Ruffian : August 8th, 2022-10:22
It's called disinhibition! ;-)

Thats right.

 
 By: Cookies : August 8th, 2022-13:42
Which area of brain is likely responsible for inhibition and disinhibition? (I don’t know the answer yet but I will read today). Hope to meet u when I come back to Singapore. I see u like reading and appreciate older pieces too.

Heeehee

 
 By: Cookies : August 13th, 2022-05:51
I’m not sure too. Need a psychiatrist or neuro to answer it. They are the masters of the brain.

Hello Cookies! Great job judging best Wrist Shot. Not an easy task indeed considering so many wonderful shots and watches shared by our friends.
