The Wrist Scan for the 19th of November - 'Once upon a time' is live
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-10:30
Hello everyone, the theme for this week's WS will be 'Once upon a time'. The topic is open to interpretation, it could be a watch you bought a long time ago, or one that was in your watch drawer for a while and you rediscovered. It could also be shots fro...
Thanks a lot Abel!

While the Ekranoplan looks fairly weathered from the outside itโs absolutely pristine inside, and complete down to bedsheets on the bunk beds for the crew. The last flight it made was in April 1993 and itโs been towed to this location many years later. It...
An extraordinary and unique design indeed!

Very interesting to know all this information you share dear KM. This plane/ship has some awesome capabilities and characteristics! Thank you for sharing here!! Abel
Hmmhh.. So let me see, how to play..
By: hs111 : November 19th, 2021-13:20
I decided for 3 watches, all three Vintages, which are true keepers for me, since I was so happy to have found them, one together with a relaxed stroll through Paris.. They also somehow represent 3 lines of my collecting interest.. - Thus, without further...
What an epic trio, HS111!
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-19:34
From the 70s feel of the Memovox, including the galuchat strap to the two timeless classics following, a great selection indeed ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Your trio is so wonderful!
By: NT931 : November 19th, 2021-23:25
The watches themselves are fantastic, and the strap choices equally inspired. The burnt umber tones on the Rolex strap, the sand nato on the breguetโฆ and my favouriteโฆ The stingray on the Memovoxโฆ which is brilliant!
Excellent choices hs โฆ

All are treasures and I agree with you about the Rolex Vintage GMT Master. Have a great weekend
Interesting theme and โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 19th, 2021-14:11
The Ekranoplan looks incredible as does the excellent photo of your Zenith. Back later with my choices. Enjoy your flight KM !
Thanks a lot, Captain ๐๐ป
By: KMII : November 19th, 2021-19:35
Landed safely in the meantime and am looking forward to a weekend spent with the family. That Ekranoplan is really something else ๐ Looking forward to seeing your selection ๐๐ป๐ค๐ป
Thanks for the thought-provoking theme, KM! For me, it's watches I used to own Once Upon A Time
By: NT931 : November 19th, 2021-15:30
These watches are now with new owners but I miss them now and then! A diverse group of brands and styles: some sporty, some dressy, some in WG, some in SS or Ti, some white, black or blue dials, some Swiss, 1 Japanese... you can get an idea of my horologi...

This is amazing, Abel!
By: KMII : November 20th, 2021-06:22
An opening just for the WS ๐๐ป And a great piece it is indeed - thanks a lot for that ๐๐ป
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear HS!!
By: Subexplorer : November 20th, 2021-15:33
Agree with you that this is not the most popular Rolex but I feel it deserves the attention of lovers of watches and complications. I really love it in spite of all the bling bling its bezel produces! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Abel
Superb Sky-Dweller โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 21st, 2021-16:00
I applaud Rolex for creating something different and interesting, but instantly recognisable as a Rolex. Excellent photos to go with your watch. Enjoy it and celebrate ๐ฅ Best regards Captain

Nice theme
By: Weems@8 : November 20th, 2021-04:28
I have no watch in a drawer. Watch box user. Which watch i forgotten? Which watch i lost! Thatโs better for me. I have good memories, but not my watches. I am very new to mechanical watches anyway, i care like a bodyguard, they are worth it. ...
Donโt worry about thatโฆ
By: KMII : November 20th, 2021-06:23

Not the easiest of weekends to host but then the one before and the one after would have been even harder ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Thank you Abel โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 21st, 2021-15:31
It really is a true โtool watchโ. I must add another to my collection one day. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
You and me, both!

I have to say it feels unusual to think of you as GO-less. And I fully agree that the brand has managed some of the best executed PCs in the relatively affordable range. Any chance of a return of a GO for you going forward?
