WristScan December 28 Starts Now - Theme: "The Best of 2018"!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-06:55
Let's start our last WristScan of this year! Please come and share your "The Best of 2018"! "The Best" is of course open for interpretation, as long as it's watch related. I will start with my "best catch of 2018" - Rolex 14060M LGF! A great modern beater...  

Very cool shot, Blomman!

 
 By: KMII : December 27th, 2018-07:02
Now letโ€™s see what to contribute... Decided on the P15. While not a new addition, itโ€™s gotten a good share of wrist time, itโ€™s versatile, a community watch and boasts a historically significant, fast beat movement. ๐Ÿ˜Š ...  

Great reasoning and watch, KM! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-07:32

The P15. Been a while. [nt]

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 28th, 2018-07:22

Still like it a lot ๐Ÿ˜Š

Even if itโ€™s far from the newest or latest ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Hear hear. [nt]

Catches of 2018.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 27th, 2018-07:16
I see three to mention, but two of them are for family rather than personal........which leaves me with the ONE. No....not the 5650G as that camein 2017. The LGF is my winner for 2018 ...  

Damn it, you have great taste. [nt]

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 27th, 2018-07:22

My wife tells me that too. [nt]

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : December 27th, 2018-07:44

LOL!! [nt]

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : December 28th, 2018-05:46

Should we talk about her taste, then? [nt]

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 28th, 2018-07:23

Correction: fur-lined camo Crocs.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 28th, 2018-07:43
So, her taste is exquisite, obviously.

That is a great addition for you!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-07:36
LGF, work for all occasions! Best Blomman

You certainly started something there...Firestarter.

 
 By: crown comfort : December 27th, 2018-09:37
but it had to be this one.

A Long F Roll Call? [nt]

 
 By: amanico : December 27th, 2018-12:40

We had it but some missed it :) [nt]

My best and only catch in 2018 was... The might LGF, what else. HAGWE. ...  

Yes, 2018 was a very slow year for me as well...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-07:37
But the highlight is the same! Best Blomman

LOL! Still miss the stickers...! [nt]

Henrik, your photos of the Breguet are another level. Another planet.

That Long F Sub is a superb catch! You were very lucky to find this rare variant!! I did deveral interesting catches this year. Will post here four which I feel are the most important among them... the Best of 2018 I feel. Have a great New Year 2019 with ...  

4 Aces, dear Abel!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-08:14
What a great watch year you had! Wishing you a even better 2019, my friend! Best Blomman

Thanks a lot dear friend Blomman!! Yes, Four Aces! Lol! I have been in the hunt of the FF for almost two years! And several months for the Panerai. ...

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 27th, 2018-11:00
... Iยดm really satisfied with this year catches! Thank you for your good wishes! All the best, Abel.

The JLC is my favourite among your 2018 best.

 
 By: crown comfort : December 28th, 2018-00:53
Had the pleasure to play with HS's Universal Time and it's a great looking watch.

Thanks you dear friend CC! Yes, the JLC Universal Time is an outstanding timepiece...

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 28th, 2018-05:21

Thank you so much my dear Captain! Yes, in variety I find a lot of fun and enjoyment.

The Blancpain is so cool.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : December 28th, 2018-07:28
I still regret not getting one when I could. But overall, I say 4 for 4. Not bad, my dear Abel, not bad at all.

Thanks a lot for your kind comments dear friend Zabreg!! Yes, the Blancpain FF is the Nr One of this year...

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 28th, 2018-08:02
... and would say one of the watches which gave me more satisfaction to catch in the last years. I really wanted that watch and I lost the opportunity of getting it several times till a few months ago when a friend made it possible to buy it at the Geneve... 

The fantastic four, Abel!

 
 By: KMII : December 28th, 2018-09:45
Hope 2019 turns out to be another great year for you and your family, watch- and otherwise ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

LGF on a Four Liner is too usually for me, everybody has LGF on a Four Liner, so boring ;-)).

 
 By: Walter2 : December 27th, 2018-08:00
I have LGF on a Two Liner 14060M (kidding modus off). ...  

LOL! Great pair Walter! :) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : December 27th, 2018-08:15

Thanks for your kind words Abel. I also wish you a healthy and happy New Year!

 
 By: Walter2 : December 28th, 2018-01:09
I am undecided, i like the empty dial from the Two Liner, but i am also a fan of the roman on the Four Liner, which Rolex write on the dial. Abrazo Walter

I understand you Walter!! Each has its own charm! The two liners got the heritage of earlier Submariners, is cleaner, purer. The four liner follows...

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 28th, 2018-05:24
... the design of the celebrated reference 5512 and with a long F you get a rarer variant. Not an easy choice!! Thank you for your kind good wishes!! Buen aรฑo 2019! Un abrazo! Abel

You are not alone my friend Walter...

 
 By: Subexplorer : December 28th, 2018-06:27
... I also own a plain 14060M four liner bought brand new several years ago. I took it scuba diving and in several trips abroad. A superb daily beater it is!! Cheers! Abel ...  

Yes ! But dont forget, only Two Liner 14060 "M" from 2002-3 to 2007 with the Chronometer Caliber 3130 (but no COSC). This is a rare bird too!

 
 By: Walter2 : December 28th, 2018-06:04
The older 14060 without "M" has the Caliber 3000 without Breguet balance spring.

I would go after Zorro

Without question the Purists community watch of the year - the LGF. Without you guys I wouldnโ€˜t have examined its secret merits... And my own Find of the Year - the Vicenterra Tycho Brahe Blue version... ...  

Two very different but equally...

So...Best of 2018 for me

 
 By: crown comfort : December 27th, 2018-09:31
was in the end, the Rolex 14060M LGF, because... I'm not alone and the bug is spreading. And what can be better than ending the year with a mystery GTG celebrating true friendship. But hey, you know what they say" what happens in Vegas..." With all those ...  

What happens in Vegas, stays...

... but also the return of Connery as Bond after his saying that he wouldnยดt play again that character. In any case, it was his last film as Bond and the film was some kind of remake of Thuderbolt filmed outside the original franchise. I had said to mysel... 

Interesting podium and all Rolex

 
 By: crown comfort : December 28th, 2018-00:58
but I do remember all those Kermit shots from the summer, so that one must have been up there as well?

No, Kermy is at #10

I have been using the OnMyWrist app this whole year to get stats In order to find out which watches should be flipped in order to get a collection on max. 12 watches. But it is very hard letting go. ...  

Yes, I remember that too. [nt]
