Weelll.. Let me see what to chip in to play

Jul 31, 2022,01:40 AM
 

I chose some of my humble “10-under”s..







JLC Triple Calendsr - Yin & Yang




A spring photo on to a famous coastline - one of my absolute favs , ABP Pro for Purists.




From Indies my Habring2 Chrono Rattrapente




Jaeger Valjoux 72 chrono on a bed of flowers




JLC Ref 2643 “Shark” Eorld Time Chronograph




Universal Geneve on a little Cappuchino break




A recent add-on below the threshold: CK859




MIH in soft distress  in SA



Another Habring2 - pure pleasure by Erwin Scie




Richeville “pie-pan” chronometer dial dresswatch




A summerly couple & their MIH




No more parking tickets ?- select 2 JLC Parkings Ref 3161




Last but not least a graceful nod by my wife with her (sophisticated but simple) JLC E159 
(Watch:RWS / pic: hs)  

Apologies for my somewhat lengthy dwellings,
hope you like some of these

HAGWE & Best to All

Dear friends, Our hobby and passion doesn't have to break the bank, if you want to own a beautiful and well made watch. In order to prove, this weekend's round is all about desirable, beautiful watches for under 10.000. I am sure we will see some great vi...

Hello dear Moritz, This certainly an interesting challenge for us…..Hasta la vista !

I’ll try this week

An old Omega Seamaster 200 professional. Quartz calibre used to be a thermocompensated movement I believe, but it was stolen while my late-father tried to get the battery changed. Now, Omega could only replace it with a non-thermocompensated movement, whi...  

Nice first entry to the competition, dear Cookies.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-16:01
I am also not sure wether this is a Genta design, but it is certainly close to it. Nicely worn Omega here!

Interesting story Cookies …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 29th, 2022-16:32
and a very personal watch.

Used to be affordable, not so much anymore.

My Tank Normale, simple in every way. ...  

A Tank under 10 k nowadays ... a daydream 😀

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-16:22
You did very well and got yourself a golden Tank even. It has got a very nice size, too. Well played, dear mikephuvie.

And the Tank Normale is so cool !!

 
 By: Geo : July 29th, 2022-16:27

Beautiful Cartier ! …

And it’s associated box

All torn up. ...  

The Louis Vuitton Time Zone still qualifies

 
 By: Geo : July 29th, 2022-16:26
The fact that it looks so different from the well-known World Timers, and is so easy to read, attracted me a lot. GEO ...  

Aaaaahh ... I remember this cool, cool WT 👍

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-16:31
Unbelieveable that this was under 10 k. Lookibg back, I start to regret not having bought one 😀! A very smart catch, dear GEO.

The hand painted version looks amazing

 
 By: Geo : July 29th, 2022-17:50
but the reading of the high-end version is completely different. GEO

Thanks so much!

 
 By: Geo : July 30th, 2022-05:55

I always liked this one from LV …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 29th, 2022-22:17
The design really works well.

Love the theme, CDM❤️

 
 By: Brandon Skinner : July 29th, 2022-19:29
Of the watches in my collection I’d say I’m crushing on this one the hardest as the most beautiful. Thanks and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! Brandon ...  

A masculine beauty: very fit for a Viking!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-20:01
Amazing how much craftmenship one can get under 10 k. Fascinating colours and pattern pn the dial, dear Brandon.

Good wrist shot Brandon ! …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 29th, 2022-22:19
I love the dial in this one.

Great Theme dear Count!! I absolutely agree with you. I have said manytimes that I feel it is not necessary to spend big Bucks or brake our piggy bank to own a pretty watch...

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 29th, 2022-20:14
... which makes us smile every time we strap it to our wrists. You share a superb Omega to open the thread. I will return later with a picture or pictures to answer your challenge! Have a nice weekend hosting my dear friend. Cheers! Abel

Good evening, dear Abel!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-21:16
Happy to hear, you like the theme. Yes, we don"t have to spend big money in order to own a fascinating watch, and it is good that the manufacturers can cover such a broad offering, for anyone. Lookkng forward to seeing your entries soon.

My big pleasure dear Count! It’s true !

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 29th, 2022-23:11
I will return later with my shots! Cheers! Abel

You knew . . .

. . . this was coming. ...  

LOL 🤣 Yes, dear Art!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 29th, 2022-20:55
That Japan version, it takes the 1894 to a higher level. It is a watch, I would love to own too and additionally to mine! I still looks and feels way more expensive than it was.

Nothing like blue enamel . . .

 
 By: Dr No : July 29th, 2022-23:55
. . . highlighted by rose gold to make me weak in the knees. 😌 ...  

Me too! Very week knees! 😃

You are confusing me for . . .

Wow,that's a beauty....didn't know you had it.

What's the case size?looks comfortable on your wrist.

Joining in with an affordable Blancpain

 
 By: j.jota : July 29th, 2022-22:34
ref. 7002... had a very reasonable MSRP and still can found for well under $10k ...  

Interesting design: Breguet numerals and sword hands, dear j.jota.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-09:00
Is it in gold or steel?

Good choice 👍

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:28

Go vintage

 
 By: jml_watches : July 29th, 2022-22:57
Lots of fabulous watches if you go vintage, that definitely won't break the bank. Strangely enough, you could also say go for a matic, as all of these have matic in the name. Cheers JML ...  

Now we are rolling!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-09:04
Indeed, vintage Land is wonder land if you are after great watches under 10 k, dwar JML. That JLC Future Matic is simply 👍

Thanks 👍

 
 By: jml_watches : July 30th, 2022-11:11
Only challenge sometimes is getting things serviced. Cheers JML

Good point JML …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:30
With care you can find a lot of pleasure in the vintage world under 10k

Thank you master Skinner

No reaso to be timid 😀

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-09:09
But I do see also: the watch is a bit shy! 😃 Nice one, dear Gelato Monster.

Thank you Count 😊

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 30th, 2022-09:55

Amazing Sarpaneva.

👌👌. You make us remember how fun and exciting is this passion of ours. Rare thing in todays manipulated market

Hello, desr fernando!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-09:12
A very masculine but also elegant Cartier Tank here. Yes, great pleasure does not have to cost too much for us. 😃

Well played Fernando ! …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:34
Cartier style shows the way in this case.

Great theme,Count....

Easily to be found for half of the budget, rest can be spend on straps. Have a good weekend. ...  

Thank you Sir!

 
 By: Ajas : July 30th, 2022-22:06

Excellent choice and wrist shot …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:37
I love your choice of strap. Good to have you joining us.

My pleasure….

Have a great weekend.

A pair of beauty for $1K

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 30th, 2022-06:44
A great theme for this WristScan! In terms of values and joys for money, perhaps no brand beats Seiko. Here is a pair of them for about a total of $1K. One is a collaboration with Rowing Blazers, a clothing brand. The other is a collaboration with PADI, a...  

Wgat a pair! 😀👍

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-09:21
Seiko is hard to beat in this category. Even special editions are very reasobable priced. You have got two great, fun summer watches, dear Sfwatchlover!

Thanks a lot, Count, for the compliment!

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-00:28
I could not agree more. I just went swimming this afternoon with the Seiko PADI edition. Take care!

Both are fantastic choices!

 
 By: NT931 : July 30th, 2022-11:57
The vibrant colours of both are tremendously appealing

Thank you so much for the kind words!

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-00:29
I am so happy to hear that )

Thanks a lot!! 🤝🤝

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-00:33

Nice pair ! …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:39
It’s the first time I’ve seen the Rowing Blazers collaboration piece.

Thanks a lot, Captain!

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-14:21
There are 3 designs in this collaboration actually. My version is still available from time to time, while the other versions sold out long ago. There is a skeleton drawing on the case-back too. Take care! ...  

Thanks for that …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-14:50
Very interesting, I obviously missed this collaboration.

Below USD10k? That's doable! Two subthemes for me : vintage chronographs, and modern Japanese

 
 By: NT931 : July 30th, 2022-10:14
First the vintage chronographs! A Breitling Top Time 810. I love the reverse panda dial! A pair of jumbo 38mm RG dress chronographs - a Longines 30CH and a UG with sexy faceted lugs. Square pushers and a sprinkle of patina add to the charm. And then a Zen...  

Outstanding entries, dear NT931 👏👏👏

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-10:29
Phenomenal line up. It sounds a bit tacky but I love them all 😃👍! Maybe the Btreitling most? 🤔😃

All fantastic and beautiful choices!

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-00:35
By the way, do you plan to get the new Kurono calendar watch? What is your take?

The Kurono Calendrier-type-1 is appealing

 
 By: NT931 : July 31st, 2022-02:18
The size, dial and overall look speaks to me, so yes I think I'll be trying to get one (whether I'm successful is really up to speed and luck though!)

Yeah, I agree that it looks quite good!

 
 By: Sfwatchlover : July 31st, 2022-06:29
Good luck to you! I am still trying to decide if I should try to get it.

Wonderful selection for the WristScan theme …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:45
Breitling Top Time 810 Is a cool vintage choice and the Grand Seiko Shunbun is certainly a beautiful watch. I love all your choices. Best regards Captain

I have many incredible and beautiful indie watches that are below 10k

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : July 30th, 2022-10:53
Will show you my latest and fun edition ...  

A near philosophical piece 👍

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-11:29
I think I saw it before from you? Will need to read about it soon. How is it telling time?

Its more a drivers watch . You read time on the side

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : July 30th, 2022-19:46
Time is indicated with to moving rings on top of each other

That’s a MAD choice …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:47
Good to see your latest addition. Best regards Captain

Hello dear Count! Here my entry to answer your challenge.

This is my last arrival just a few days ago of a nice under 10k watch: the very popular here CK859: Here another option I love to wear sometimes. A lot of pleasure for a fraction of 10k: Hamilton Field manual wind: Last but not least: vintage options are ...  

Good day, dear friend!

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-13:59
I saw the Omega CK859 comming! 😀 I am sure it will pop up later in this competition again. A Hamilton Field and as well the lovely Eterna Kontiki are a must have for any collector. Your Kontiki is however again an exceptional one! Have a great Saturday, d... 

Ahh yes dear Count! Agree with you that we will see more of them …

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 30th, 2022-18:39
… along the weekend considering the popularity of this model among our community. Glad to know you liked the Hamilton and the Kon Tiki. The later was a lucky find indeed. Have a great weekend dear friend!! Best, Abel

Thank you so much dear JML! It got a stunning dial indeed.

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 31st, 2022-02:43
Appreciate your kind compliments! Hagwe! Abel

Hello dear Abel …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:54
The CK859 has it all wrapped in one watch. I remember the first time I saw this watch before the official launch and I knew that it was a going to be a big hit with our community. Sadly, it appears that the production of this watch has been concluded. One...

 By: hs111 : July 31st, 2022-11:08
As we found out we share the Ck 859, I obviously like that one.. Infact, quite a lot ! The Hamilton has a sort of casual charm and also to me is really an attractive Ref. ! And last but not least the KonTiki is a sort of witness of “sunken” times.. Thus, ...

The red Kon Tiki is gorgeous!

 
 By: NT931 : July 31st, 2022-11:35
Indeed encapsulates the magic of vintage watch collecting!

Beauty under $10k? BP was pretty good at this..

As if this theme was tailored to show these two absolute beauties: bravo! 👏👏👏

Your pair of triple cal never fail to amaze!

Here are my entries at the price limit…..

 
 By: Timeout : July 30th, 2022-18:20
I picked up this BLNR in 2014 for $8,500 - sitting in the showcase at the AD believe it or not! This 1959 re-edition Navitimer was in my AD’s safe having not sold on issue a few years ago. Bremont MBIII also came in under the limit As did this Mediterrane...  

Solid, very solid entries, dear Timeout.

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-18:45
Well, I saw also the Batman several times at the AD in the past, but could not make a decision. Very silly of me! From your auggestions the Mediteraneo is the prettiest, to me Nice!

Many thanks Count.

 
 By: Timeout : July 30th, 2022-18:49
I feel your pain. In 2014 I purchased a WG Patek Worldtime below list. I could have picked up a Nautilus 5980 at a discount too from the same dealer - oops😭

Awesome salvo Timeout

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 31st, 2022-03:26

Great selection of watches …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-11:00
And it’s good to see a Bremont. The case design is excellent.

This one is way, way, way, way below the limit.

 
 By: mikephuvie : July 30th, 2022-19:28
In fact I believe it is the lowest cost among all the watches posted so far. A proof that fun can be had below a big brand crocodile strap. I am actually enjoying this watch as much as the 3970EP as I don’t have to be careful with my wrist movement. And t...  

How sweet! 30 mm 😀

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 30th, 2022-19:49
Never read Neuchatel on a watch. Will have to look into Ernest Borel watches. Very true words, dear mikephuvie: quality, design and heritage do not need to be always expensive in our hobby. Having said that ... I would love to own your 3970, too 🤫.

So many… how ‘bout this one?

 
 By: RabidManatee : July 31st, 2022-00:25

I chose some of my humble “10-under”s.. JLC Triple Calendsr - Yin & Yang A spring photo on to a famous coastline - one of my absolute favs , ABP Pro for Purists. From Indies my Habring2 Chrono Rattrapente Jaeger Valjoux 72 chrono on a bed of flowers J...  

I do like the triple date JLC.

 
 By: mikephuvie : July 31st, 2022-02:59
This one is in poor shape, it was quite cheap. Retailed by Turler but it’s pretty much gone from the dial. The minute track disappeared, copper dial is full of spots, one of the teardrop lugs was reattached. It looks much better in real life though. I lov...  

all gorgeous piece

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 31st, 2022-10:15

Superb entries, dear hs👌

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : July 31st, 2022-09:10
This task was far to easy for a collector of your caliber. From all suggestions the JLCs are my top picks: triple calendars and the parkings 😃. A good Sunday to you!

+1 Triple calendars

 
 By: Gelato Monster : July 31st, 2022-10:15

I love your definition of "humble" dear friend HS! All of these choices are absolutely gorgeous!! Of course I see two of them we share: The charming JLC Triple date vintage and the CK 859.

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 31st, 2022-13:47
Then you show a large selection of very tempting options. Some of them in my wish list since long (e.g. The JLC Shark chrono) and others like the Habring which is absolutely impossible to find in my Country but I wish to view some day during a trip abroad... 

Beautiful theme …

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : July 31st, 2022-10:23

It’s interesting how many people comment about it when they see it. I know at least two friends who ordered one when they spotted it on my wrist.

Great choices to play dear Captain!! The Santos Dumont is so lovely and stunning timepiece. You add to my feeling of needing one in my collection. Regret the Habring and L. Erard are ...

That Hentschel is quite special, very cool colour, I must say. The De Bethune was under 10 k in yellow gold? Very surprised. . Quite an appealing line up from you.

The DB3 was bought from a Japanese dealer in a watch show

Some 12 years ago, costing only US9k back then, brand new. A very good deal indeed 😉
