The WS for the 10th of March - ‘The watch you will choose for Monday’ - is live
As announced, this weekend’s WS theme is, ‘ The watch you will choose for Monday’. After Corona our sartorial habits have partially changed (pants these days optional), so I am hoping for a wide variety of answers of what you all strap on your wrists once...
Let me kick off proceedings…
As I am currently what in some circles gets called ‘on the beach’, without swimming apparel, my watch choices for Mondays tend to vary widely, from very casual to somewhat more formal. Here some examples: ...
Monday looks fun dear KM !
The “big Frank” looks very cool. Good to have you back ! Best regards Captain
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
The Big Frank is actually the smaller of the sizes 😂🤷🏻♂️ Anything more wouldn’t have fit my wrist 😉
Dear KM,
You start your Mondays strongly! I will be wearing my first Panerai, a 40mm PAM48 followed by another 6 which remain in my collection. It was also my first experience of getting on a waitlist. 😂 Think it was 4-5 months wait. Recently I saw it coming back ...
40mm PAM?
That might even fit my wrist 😂👍🏻 Great piece and wishing you a great workweek ahead and us all waiting lists like that again 😉
To me nothing sounds more « Monday » than…
An alarm !! That’s what I’ll be wearing tomorrow morning ) ...
Now that’s a lovely UN ⚓️
And wearing an alarm on Monday a lovely symbolic gesture 👌🏻👍🏻⏰
Welcome Boris to our event! Superb shot, superb watch…
… and a great choice to start a week tomorrow Monday!! Cheers! Abel
Hello dear friend KM! Always nice to have you hosting. Great theme. I´m always amazed when viewing how well you match those awesome straps in your collection with clothing and watches...
... making for some stunning combos like those you are sharing in your opening post. Your selection is fantastic and the only problem for you will be to decide which ones you´ll finally take on you wrist on Monday among them. I personally would have much ...
Thanks so much Abel!
Too kind as always 🙏🏻 Looking forward to seeing your entries later on 👍🏻🤞🏻
I sm so sorry….
…. It will probably be one of these again … maybe I should consider selling some of my watches as I tend to go back to just a handful all the time.. Great theme and hagwe Hans Enter text ...
Well, they seem to do the trick…
If you keep on reaching for them 👍🏻 Great pair you chose!
Hello dear KM! Here my choices for next Monday…
My job at an administrative office doesn’t require formal attire since many decades ago so I can enjoy the pleasure of wearing my favorite diving watches every day. So these two will be ready for the morning and afternoon of next Monday: Tudor Submariner ...
Wow - your choices don’t disappoint, Abel!
The two divers make for great daytime companions, with enough interest to keep you engaged, even if the meeting doesn’t 😉👍🏻 And your evening choice is as timeless as it is versatile 👌🏻👏🏻
Thanks a lot for your kind comments dear KM.
I’m happy to know you approve these choices. The 5510 is one of my grails. It makes me smile every time I view or strap it to my wrist. And diving watches are so versatile! Always a practical choice for me. Best cordial regards Abel
Monday looks good dear Abel ….
All your choices are very nice. The Tudor Submariner ref 76100 from 1984 is an interesting watch. The characteristic “Lollipop” hour hand is a very nice design detail. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much for your kind comments my dear Captain. Agree with you on the 76100. Though aesthetically I much prefer the classic Mercedes hands I find very interesting...
... and also a bit surprising the short lived experiment of Tudor of using this design on their Submariner version. As it happened with the snowflake hands they intended to offer more lume and better reading of time at night or U/W. Always interesting for...
My Monday job . . .
. . . is playing pool with my pals. We were on hiatus for three months due to our seaside dive bar being closed for repairs, but it's just re-opened yesterday so I'll be back to work Monday night!
My cues get at least half the credit, Abel. They're special . . .
. . . and then some, as pplater can attest ;-) . . .
Ah yes, I have been following your past posts about your cues and well remember that special one connected with our friend pplater. Of course I feel a good cue helps... but the Magic...
... is made but the person who uses it. Always amazed to view your videos dear Art. Thanks a lot for sharing! Enjoy so much your Sunday and your Monday session dear friend. Cheers! Abel
Oh, I'm always wearing a watch, K - you'll often see me looking at my wrist . . .
. . . after a memorable shot is made so that Jim can pull the video off the CCTV without having to scan thru hours of video. Yesterday I was wearing the '66 Seiko Sealion. We were playing 'straight 8' for the most part and my game was on fire, winning six...
You’re talking wet over my head as for the sport…
But the watch I can certainly understand and appreciate fully 😊👌🏻👍🏻
Hello, Abel once again !.. Well taken choices.. Actually I like all three of them, the Rado being my first fav !
The Tudor appears like a well tested workhorse - a really good „GADA“ choice ! - on the Rado I also liked a lot the cute backside, with the „water sealed“ signage.. BTW: what does the little violet round window @12 indicate ? And finally, the last of your...
Hello my dear friend HS. Thank you so much for your kind viewing and commenting which I always appreciate so much.
Glad you like the choices and the little old Rado diver (Captain Cook). Yes, it is a charming early diver from the 1960's and the detail you view at 12 is the Rado emblem: the anchor over a red circle. It is present in all Rado watches. What is amazing is...
Thx Abel, for the comments !.. All really fine choices !.. Hope it‘s ok to phrase another one little question:..
In your first chosen watch, ie the Tudor 16100, you mention the pecularity of the charming Lollipop Pointer, which you appear to attribute to the HOUR hand (?!). - To me , however it would rather relate to the SECONDS hand, as the real hour hand itself is...
You are right dear friend HS in that usually the nickname “lollipop” is given…
… to the seconds hand of certain Rolex Subs or Explorers. But in this particular reference the name is given to the hour hand which replaces the typical Mercedes hour hand of Submariners. The picture below will illustrate this type. Cheers! Abel ...
Something suited for underwater discoveries and adventure…
Great weekend to all from the Yucatan Peninsula ...
Hello dear friend Alex! Nice place to visit and explore! And you have the best choice to have on your wrist next Monday... or any other day!
Abrazos y disfruta ese bello e intrigante lugar amigo mio! Abel
Always a pleasure to read you, dear Abel!
I will post more pictures once I download the go pro from the cave diving I took part of. Fuerte abrazo y buen fin de semana, Alex
Now that’s Monday the exciting way 👌🏻
And just the watch and strap choices for the occasion 🙌🏻👏🏻
Wow !.. What an adventure spot and the subsequent shot , which shows a perfect match..
Especially that first pic delivers an exciting mood ! - And the last (with that great BP FF ) is a more „peaceful“ WS.. great photography, really ! - Am already looking forward to your upcoming shots from the cave dive & activity ! HAGWE & Best, hs.
Idyllic photos Alex …
Your Blancpain FF looks fabulous in your photos. Thats the way to start the week ! Best regards Captain
Your Monday choice should certainly lift the mood
So vibrant and radiant, the ALS 🌞👌🏻
It will be an exciting Monday indeed with this great watch…
… strapped to your wrist Aquaracer! Enjoy your weekend so much!! Cheers! Abel
Many thanks for hosting KM
Monday’s are casual - optional WFH on Mondays and Fridays - but I’ll be in the office both days. Got the GG classics covered for both days. ...
Genta for Mondays seems like an inspired choice…
Whether in the office or at home - nice shots, too 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for a fun theme! This was what I wore on Mon a few days ago
I just love how the light plays on it, especially at certain angles when the subdial looks like it's laser illuminated. Monday blues? Nah, not with this one! ...
Now that’s a proper blue watch Monday choice 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
And the shots you posted are truly sublime 👍🏻
Wow… Your FN looks beautiful in the sunlight ….
Good way to start the week. Best regards Captain
Hmmhh, Team !.. Let me see what to chip in.. ;)
First of all welcome back KMII - glad to have you with us here, safe ! - Very nice pics you entered again; specifically like your straps and textile outfits. - My personal favs are your Chopard, the Laine & the MING.. A very versatile choice, the PP Aquan...
Hello dear HS …
Excellent selection of watches. I always think the Aquanaut works in any situation. Best regards Captain
Hello dear friend HS!! Looks like you´ll have a very busy early Monday morning trying to decide which one to strap on your wrist among so many beautiful options.
Probably you´ll need to start on Sunday evening to think about that! Lol! I guess you will go with your GADA one: Aquanaut!! Do you think I´m right? Well, whichever you decide you can´t go wrong with any of them. There are some favorites of mine there as ...
Hello, dear friend Abel !.. Thx for again so kind comments
Sorry, I was a bit overdoing it with that number of choices ! - But you might indeed be right, that it might be the trustworthy Aquanaut; you indeed seem to know me quite well !! - Wishing you a great Sunday & a good week to come ! Thx and all my Best !!
Hello again dear HS! By no means you did a bit overdoing! I can well understand you.
Having several watches to choose from makes a big dilemma for us to decide. The kind of dilemmas I love to have!! Lol! Of course it’s nice to have the Aquanaut to solve any doubts!! Cheers my dear friend!! Abel
Your choices are as spot on as they are varied!
The green small seconds is a real gem - sadly the local AD is a bit useless and wasn’t able to secure one. The Lemania’s are fantastic as always and so are the rest of your choices. I can well understand your decisions, decisions 😁👍🏻
Currently limited in my choices (also close to the beach :-)
So i have only a few options for Monday HAGWE 🤗 ...
Monday by the beach sounds good !
A Tudor on a rubber strap should be an easy option, but the dial on your FP would make Monday extra special. Best regards Captain
Now that’s a good selection for a Monday on the beach 🏝️
Great independent choices as always 🙌🏻👌🏻
Splendid pieces & nifty choices, I trust.. Specifically like the Tudor on rubber, also colorwise.. Never had heard from that Indie Pikullik/Sternenhimmel - cute !
If I were to pick one, especially if for a semi-formal, yet cool activity - I‘d pick this wonderful Daniel Roth WT ! - Well done, Bravo ! Cheers !
