Wrist Scan for Friday 19th is Open Now!! Free Theme with an Easter Season flavour...

Apr 18, 2019,08:53 AM
 

Hello my dear Friends!!

Again I will be having the pleasure of hosting our traditional WS feature this week end.

As I have announced in my previous post, some of our friends here (me included) will be celebrating Easter this week end and some will not, so I´m inviting all PuristS members to participate in this W/S edition to a "Free Theme" with an special Easter flavour trying to bring a bit of chocolate Easter Eggs and Bunnies in your shoots if you wish.

Are you expecting to have some egg hunting or decorating this week end?  Which watch will be wearing during next week end? Please tell us!

Please feel free to participate with any shot/watch you like.  Remember: we will be judging as always three categories: best wrist shot, best watch of the week, best static shot and of course you may enter shots for each category in mind.

The Contest is open now and I look forward to receive many wonderful shots in this same thread.

I wish everybody a wonderful Easter week end with much Peace and Joy.

All the best!
Abel.

PS:

I show two favorite "Festive" watches below.

But my watch this week end is an special piece recently entered: An IWC Pilot´s Chrono, with awesome Green dial, an Special Limited "Edition Latinoamérica" of only 50 pieces. This watch features a rattrapante complication which adds to the charm of this timepiece.

Three wonderful pieces, Abel!

 
 By: KMII : April 18th, 2019-10:46
I have definitely not seen the green dial Rattrapante IWC yet - very nice! And the other two fit perfectly to the Easter theme, too 👌🏻 Wishing you a great Easter weekend - unfortunately no days off for me this time, different calendars 😉🤷🏻‍♂️ ... 

Thank you so much dear KM for your kind comments. Glad you like it!!...

I wish I find an Easter Bunny as generous as yours!! Happy Easter my friend!! Hagwe! Abel

Thanks a lot, Abel!

 
 By: KMII : April 19th, 2019-00:22
Something that came as a bit of a surprise. Had it on the list for long but when I saw one for sale recently, I could not forego it - small present to myself for several milestones that took place earlier this year.

Such a great looking watch my friend .

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 18th, 2019-23:07
Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗

Thanks a lot, Watchonthewrist!

So with the Prestige de la France I am with you at least in spirit, if not physically

Thanks a lot!

That's avantgarde [nt]

Seiko special

 
 By: jml_watches : April 18th, 2019-16:38
Hi Thought I'd go with these. One that is worn every day & one that sees very little wrist time. Both JDM Seikos - similar, but very different 4 glorious years so far Rarer wrist presence, but been enjoying this this week. Bellmatic - there always needs t...  

Great Seikos my friend JML!!

 
 By: Subexplorer : April 18th, 2019-20:09
Agree they have different personalities: first one very elegant and classy The second more sporty. Bellmatic!! Alarms: a great charming complication! Happy Easter my friend!! Abel

Thanks :)

 
 By: jml_watches : April 19th, 2019-00:51
Now if Seiko keep doing re- editions, re- imaginings of earlier watches a Bellmatic would Bea great choice. Cheers JML

Absolutely agreed!

 
 By: KMII : April 19th, 2019-00:27
While there are many Bell-Matic dial variations, this one so fits the theme

Three Samurais...

 
 By: KMII : April 19th, 2019-00:26
If you keep showing your Urushi I guess I will buckle at some point and get one for myself Fortunately I need to control myself somewhat after the latest incoming, which is certainly good

Looking forward to seeing your new arrival!

 
 By: jml_watches : April 19th, 2019-00:47
But remember n+1 😁 Cheers JML

Nice rattrapante and Easter theme---happy easter Abel

 
 By: halkcb : April 18th, 2019-20:29
To pursue your theme,i couldn't locate my faberge egg---only kidding,can't afford it---so it's down to these two today The pre-presage enamel and my old generic chrono all the best for a happy Easter henry ...  

Two very different Easter eggs, Henry!

 
 By: KMII : April 19th, 2019-00:30
You also reminded me to give my Seiko enamels some more wrist time The enamel dials are just so cool to play with under light - and Seiko has certainly democratized this particular pleasure. Is the chrono an MoD issued piece?

I purchased it some twenty years ago from a friend as NOS

 
 By: halkcb : April 19th, 2019-01:38
I was told it was a 1950s production for a NATO airforce,possibly Italian, but ultimately never looked good to me,so i've enjoyed it since. best henry

Thanks for the additional info, Halkcb!

 
 By: KMII : April 21st, 2019-03:10
Very interesting 😊

You really cannot go wrong with any of them, Nico!

 
 By: KMII : April 19th, 2019-00:31
Somehow the creamy ones really fit the theme best for me, though

Merci, K. [nt]

 
 By: amanico : April 19th, 2019-09:31

Wow! I can understand your dilemma! Chocolate or cream? All wonderful choices! May be you can wear two per day morning and afternoon change...

 
 By: Subexplorer : April 19th, 2019-07:19
So you can enjoy them all in this long week end! Happy Easter my dear Nicolas! Abel

Incoming for Easter...

An interesting find but I wasn't sure about the correctness of the dial. Pulled the trigger anyway as I was really attracted to it. Happy Easter to all! ...  

Memovox World Time are a tricky game, indeed.

 By: Subexplorer : April 19th, 2019-07:22

Thats a nice memo WT, Abel.

 
 By: S F : April 19th, 2019-20:11
When I saw mine, I was attracted by the curvature of the patina dial and the raised markers . Cheers!

Thank you dear KM! [nt]

 By: KMII : April 20th, 2019-01:32
But I have never heard of a dark milk chocolate - I guess one lives and learns 😊 Fantastic shots, NT931!

Thanks Abel, KMII & Nico

 
 By: NT931 : April 20th, 2019-05:32
Indeed I am lucky to be able to indulge my twin hobbies of chocolate and horology! The Dark Milk category is a rapidly growing one, and in fact now has its own award category. Previously (eg. in 2013), the International Chocolate Awards used to lump every...

A fantastic shot, JLCMan 👌🏻
