What a great start ! …
You certainly have the good life in that hammock with your Zenith. Well played !
The hammock…
Might not be an Italian invention but definitely qualifies as dolce vita and makes one smile at the pleasure 👌🏻🙌🏻
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play this week..
Team, just some shots from relaxed times.. A summer postcard from my Pepsi 16750.. Submersible Green PAM 1074 A cool shot on a hot day - The water dunking shot - on Piazza del Pantheon, Roma Summer leisure mood with the “Batman” and Aperol Spritz.. Relaxi...
That’s the life ! …

Thank you HS …
It’s always a pleasure to see your photos. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Best regards Captain
Dolce Vita is my n your blood 👌🏻👍🏻
The shots are truly superb - and the PAM combination is 🔥🔥🔥
Thx a lot for your kind looking, KMII !.. Hope you have/had a great summer ( despite the heat sometimes).
Glad you liked the PAM shot and its framing - This 1074 PAM Submersible is a true Summer watch for me, robust, a bit fancy but still cool and great in the water.. HAGWE & Best to you and yours ! 😊😊
Ahh! You surely know how to enjoy the Good Life at full my dear friend HS!! And great watches are part of that Dolce Vita you share with us!!
As usual you show some marvelous watches and settings and I have a favorite here in your pocket wrist shot of your Bronzo Panerai framed in green. Superb shot my friend! I didn´t remember viewing before your vintage Submariner. Guess it is one of the 5513...
Hello again in kind return !.. Thx so much for your ever so nice words & I‘m of course glad you liked some !
And Yes, you are right: the Sub indeed is one of the last series 5513, AFAIK. - Further to note in that aspect is that I don‘t have the original Papers, nor box, but I do have some infos from the previous owner. - Either way, this watch is in a really ama...
Hello my dear friend HS! Always my big pleasure to view and comment your posts. As a matter of fact I liked not some but all your shots and watches! But I make comments on...
... just a few of them which make my heart beat faster. Lol!
Interesting what you tell me about your 5513 which is a reference I like so much. I don´t pay much attention to box and papers though of course it is nice to have them, but I feel it is more im...
Wow! First pix for me but I am bias :)
After the GMTM, my next pick is your JLC taking a dip! Well played!
Your collages are superb!
Especially the water dunking JLC. I might have to try this one myself!😀 Kind regards, Kurt.
A Day In The Life Of Sherman.... Living The Good Life
Some might think Sherman is 'just a clock', but they'd be wrong. Very wrong! He is soooo much more, and in many ways too! Here, let's take a stroll through a day in Sherman's life. Good morning Sherman, hope you slept well last night. His golden glow brin...
Sherman - The Dolce Vita Machine …
Wow, that’s an incredible lifestyle ! Bonus points awarded for making me laugh out loud 🤣
A most humble thanks.
If there is reincarnation, the goal is to come back as Sherman. []~(￣▽￣)~*
Cue: 🎶 Ryan Paris 🎵 “We’re walking like in the dolce vita, this time we got it right. “ 😃
Forgive my trip down memory lane when the roller disco was hip and leg warmers were cool!! 😉 Hello Captain. Interesting theme this month. I was wondering how to participate. Hope you like my definitions of the dolce vita! Hope it’s not too pic heavy. Love...
You got the good life Kurt 😎…
Beautiful locations, the outdoors and the occasional pint🍻 Best regards Captain
Those are this summer’s onions from our allotment.
A hamper for mother in law’s 80th 🍻 ...
No, not a fan of pickling
we hang the onions and garlic in the shed. We do slow roast tomatoes 👌🏻 everything else is prepped, blanched and frozen.
My pleasure Abel, thanks for looking.
Plenty of vegetables ready to see us into the autumn/winter. All the best, Kurt.
Dolce Vita is a state of mind 👌🏻👏🏻🍹
These are truly wonderful and your life just as it should be 🙌🏻
Hello Kurt! Wonderful shots and beautiful places. Are those shots taken in same place? That semi-round beach is just awesome!!
I love places near the sea and these places really reflect the mood of Good Life! Keep enjoying it! Best cordial regards, Abel
Pictures 1,6,7,8 and 9 are all of Chesil Beach
at different points of its 18 mile length. The round ripple beach is Man O War bay near Lulworth about a half hour drive or 1.5 hour row. That picture was taken by my stepdaughter waiting for us to arrive by boat a year or so ago. Boats picture is of Brid...
Many great pics here. Love the colourful one
with the boats. You are surprising me with the UK beaches. 😄😄
Your definition of Dolce Vita is perfect.
Love the colour composition of your second photo. Cheers Thomas
Living the Dolce Vita …
If you want to really live the Dolce Vita, friendship watches and good food are three of basic requirements ;-)) … Friendship, watches and tapas …. The lady has dolce style ) … This person knows the dolce vita or should that be bona vida ) …. Cheers my fr...
These are all lovely examples 👌🏻👏🏻
Food, friends and watches are the secret ingredients 🙌🏻👍🏻
Great choices dear Captain to share tips to enjoy the Good Life! No doubt to enjoy it with nice friends brings much pleasure but also unforgettable memories.
Not doubt Mrs Scarlet has a great taste and both of you show that a good nice watch adds to the pleasure of living the Dolce Vita! Have a nice and dolce weekend dear friend! Best, Abel
Such nice memories!
Mum's here these days, let's see if I can steal some picture with her despite the stormy weather... Yours, Paparazzo
There's always at lest one week...
You should avoid for your September holidays in Catalonia!!!
Lovely shots, dear Capt‘ n and real appetizers for the intro into this week‘s stimulating topic !
My absol fav from your Trio-pics is the 3rd with that splendid Doxa 1200T; I guess to have never seen that Ref so far but I am to really knowledgeable about this brand ! - Thx for sharing, hosting and HAGWE + Best ! 😊
Thank you HS …
The Doxa is one of my favourite watches for a vacation. Best regards Captain
That’s living alright 👍🏻
Great selection of food and watches and a super clean looking Doxa👌🏻 I’m always on the fence with these, must try one and see. All the best Cpt Regards, Kurt
I must persuade you to try one …
I’ll swing by with one for you to try if you get the beers 😉🍻
Friendship, watched and good food.
What a wise motto. May I add something? True love! Cheers Thomas
La Dolce Vita, Fellini dixit. Great theme. For the
enjoyment of good photographers (not me). Best. ...
Welcome aWtchslvr …
Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend. Your Omega Seamaster photos are very nice. It’s a cool watch as is your Rolex Sky-Dweller and the Longines Diver. I’m definitely awarding you bonus points for “The Simpsons” 😂 Best regards Captain ...
Certainly Swatch did a good Valentine’s day job.
It took me seconds to decide I’d buy one. Best.
BTW, the japanese gin I posted some months ago
is, accordingly to my wife (she is the expert), excellent. ...
You certainly know how to enjoy yourself 👌🏻👍🏻
Some really cool pictures and the Simpsons Swatch shows an important element of Dolce Vita as well 😊👍🏻👌🏻
Wonderful selection 👌🏻
I especially like the Aqua Terra in striking white dial and black hands and indices, so clean and clear. Your bronze Legend Diver has a beautiful hue to it. Do you clean it? I think I would struggle to keep it like that lol. Kind regards, Kurt.
Hi Kurt. To say the truth, the hands and indices
of the Omega are blue. I didn’t post a good photo here to show it. I don’t clean the Longines. I bought it 16 months ago and it has been on my wrist no more than two months and I keep it in a dry box… Anyway I suppose it’ll end up tarnished. Best Sunday. ...
Yes, blue and white uses to be a winner combo.
I also love those index, one of the reasons why I bought this watch.
Hello dear Captain!! Thank you so much for hosting this weekend…
… and for choosing a great and interesting Theme. Let’s celebrate the Good Life … the Dolce Vita through the pictures submitted along the weekend. Here a few of mine which of course include a watch… that little mechanical marvel which always adds to the e...
Hello, my dear friend Abel !.. Again a really cool stretch of shots you present : 😊
I liked a lot the 2 Ferrari pics, well taken with your Doxa, whereby the Dashboard shot is an ultra-cool one ! - also the coffe beans make a lovely bkgd in the next Omega pic (Flightmaster ) ! Then, of course I again liked the BP Aqua Lung, as you know we...
Thank you so much for your always so kind comments dear friend HS!
Yes, we are horological twin souls! Lol! And we share the love for many similar watches in our respective collections including the FF of course. I’m happy to know you liked these shots. I’m enjoying my weekend and I wish you too. Best cordial regards Abe...
Thank you so much dear S F for your kind comments. Yes, family and loved ones make for the real Good Life. Watches add to the enjoyment of course!
Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend. Abel
That’s the good life Abel 😎…
Driving a Ferrari is something you never forget and life is good when you find the watch that you have been hunting for many years. Fabulous photos giving the Dolce Vita vibes. Happy memories my dear friend. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear Captain! Agree with you about driving a Ferrari. It was lent to me by a good friend and I had never driven this brand before.
I enjoyed so much that experience feeling the power of this great engine pushing behind me in answer to my right foot. And what a sound!
I´m glad you liked my shots in answer to your Theme. Good memories of friends and places shared with them are a big p...
The Ferrari sensation …
I remember the first time I drove a Ferrari, it was a 308 and it felt sensational and very exotic back in the day. Happy memories !
Different ways, same dolce vita result 👌🏻👍🏻
And otto cilindri definitely heighten the enjoyment 😁 Fantastic shots demonstrating the principle 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ha ha ha!! Yes, true! Different ways of living la dolce vita! Agree with you about the otto cilindri. Italians know well about the Sweet Life and how to enjoy it I feel.
I´m happy to know you liked these shots. Hagwe my dear friend. Abel
Hello Abel, wonderful shots you share as usual
I particularly like the bronze panerai such a nice reference.
Thank you so much dear Kurt. The last Bronzo offered by Panerai a few years ago is a very cool watch indeed. Those pictures were taken just a few days after taking delivery ot it...
... at the Miami Boutique. Always a joy to get a new watch and part of the Good Life I feel.
Best cordial regards, Abel
Now that sounds like the perfect watch delivery
and what a location to enjoy it. Very special indeed, that’s the good life dear Abel! 😀👍🏻
The ultimate power flex - 'Off The Clock' ....
As good as it gets - zero effort all day long xD........ ...
Not a lot of Summer vibes for me , busy building a new place for my little princess her company.
But ofcourse i will see if i can find some nice pics out of my memories 😉 The ultimate flex. Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗 ...
The good life vibes …
Hello Watchonthewrists 👋 Wonderful memories of good times being enjoyed with your watches and special friends. What more do we need in life. Best regards Captain
So many great seaside and summer shots 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Hopefully the new home for the princess will be done soon 😁🤞🏻
Thanks my friend, yes i needed to finish it before this week .
Her classes for the new year starts from tomorrow so there was a time pressure. Hope the students like what we created 🙏🏻
Hello Watchonthewrists! Nice company, beautiful places and great watches... a great recipe for living a Good Life! Superb shots and watches you are sharing as usual.
The Staudt has always been a favorite of your collection. That salmon dial, Arab numbers in contrast with a "white" case is wonderful. The Red MAD is a watch I like so much though I hadn´t the chance to view it in person. I would like to add one to my col...
Thank you for your comments dear Watchonthewrists. The blue version looks very nice for sure. I have read the reports about the new thinner version. I would love to view them in the metal.
Regrettable they are not available in my Country so I will have to wait an opportunity when traveling abroad. Keep enjoying so much your great couple of MADs!! Cheers, Abel
This Urwerk looks great on your wrist.
It seems quite comfortable and fitting like a glove. Cheers Thomas
Hello Hans …
That’s quite a selection of really nice watches and it’s good to see several vintage pieces. Your Omega Dynamic, Geneva dial looks very cool in your photos. I think we should award you a bonus point for a particularly nice shirt with your Zenith. Best reg...
Little indulgence once in a while for some balance in life :)
Have a great weekend! ...
Great shots SF ….
Plenty of “Good Life” going on in your shots. It’s difficult to choose between them, I love them all but your Urwerk looks particularly cool in this photo. Best regards Captain
The shots are truly amazing 👌🏻👍🏻
Huge fan of almost every single one of your Freak shots but there is so much more you showcase here - a great selection of the good, sweet life 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hello dear friend S F! Thank you for sharing these Good Life moments and the great watches making company on your wrist illustrated in these stunning shots.
You make it so difficult to chose just one watch among so many beauties. The Armin Strom would be my favorite though. So beautiful and cool. And that Blancpain!...
Ufff! You make it difficult indeed!
Well played my dear friend. Keep enjoying la Dolce Vi...
Thks Abel!
I am glad I went with my “feel” on the AS without having seen the actual watch when I placed the order. Cheers!
What a great stretch of shots !.. Indeed difficult to just choose one or two !
.. But I am specifically drawn to your splendid UN Freak and the futuristic Urwerk - Splendid examples ! 👏🏻👏🏻 And your Lang & Heyne, Habring2 & the Armin Strohm are great picks as well.. Wishing you a great remaining Sunday & a good upcoming week to you &...
Recharging the dream …
Hello dear friend 👋 Anything Porsche related is living the good life and your Tudor Ranger looks very good. A nice alternative to a Rolex Explorer. Best regards Captain
While I have never developed a yearning for the former…
I definitely appreciate the latter all the more 😁 Great shots of both pleasures 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent pictures these.
Especially #2 the Ranger is such a cool piece that deserves a lot more attention.
I much prefer the look of the Ranger especially hands and dial
It will be interesting to see where Tudor take the Ranger (hopefully)🤞🏻 Regards
The second picture looks like a
a Rolex advertisement in a golf magazine! Great photo, dear Yacomino!
Your shots are making me ravenous 😋😋😋
Seaside, great food, great company and the odd nice drop of something tasty to drink - hard to go wrong with things like these 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
These are such terrific shots of watches, seaside, great food & drinks with family & friends !.. Life at its best !! 😎👏🏻
Wishing you a great Sunday and a good upcoming week to you & yours ! Best, hs 😊😊
That’s the good life Bill …
Friends, family and good wine. The last time I had bottle of Alivetto Rose was in a restaurant with friends in St Tropez. Good memories 🥂 Best regards Captain
That really is living the Dolce Vita …
Great shots Ludi, the Fiat made me smile the minute I saw it. Do you still have the car ? Best regards Captain
Yes I do
… and I have the pleasure to meet the infamous DrStrong quite regularly during our monthly cars and coffee show DrStrong’s car (MG) and watch (Dayto) pictured below ...
The good life is a thankful life.
Sitting at the Lake Terrace restaurant of the Schloss Fuschl, it’s impossible not to feel grateful. My father, who survived economic hardship, a war, and spent his remaining years in a factory until suffering a stroke at the age of 59, looked me in the ey...
Gratitude makes for a great life 👌🏻👍🏻
A wonderful story and great shots to demonstrate the good life 😊👍🏻
Hart felt words about the good life …
Knowing how hard life can be helps to keep your feet on the ground and enjoy the moment. Wonderful view from the restaurant in your photos, perfect to accompany your beautiful Cartier. Best regards Captain
What a story about your father…
I am very impressed. He just didn't let it get him down and was grateful at the end of his life. A great character! All the best Thomas
Let’s see how to contribute 😊
Dressing up to suit the watch… The raised pulse of an exciting drive… Playing with the kids… The seaside… Enjoying food… And a good book - even better on the 33rd of the month 😂 Never too much sea 🌊 Or snow in winter ❄️ Exploring new places… Taking the wa...
You make the perfect description of the Good Life concept though your wonderful shots and watches dear friend KM!
I was really surprised with the date of your Pasha. I feel that a few extra days each month devoted to the Dolce Vita would be always welcomed! Looks like your Cartier can make the magic work! Keep enjoying the Good Life with your beloved one my dear frie...
Certainly - every month 😂
But the odd quirk and imperfection is a part of dolce vita, too 😉👍🏻
Actually comes with the NATO as one of the two spare straps 😊👍🏻
Admiralty Grey, albeit more water resistant than the watch 😉🤷🏻♂️
Wow, really a wonderful stretch of tic-tacs - hard to choose one.. I like a lot your dressing up pieces !
You superb VC on the 1st pic and the L.U. Chopard Chronometer are absol favs of mine; not to forget your other fine examples, such as the Cartier Pasha (the 33 on display -?-), the Laine, Hentschel & Habrings. - I‘ll tip my beret, dear KM and am wishing a...
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Glad you liked the selection 😊👍🏻 As for the Cartier, it’s a very temperamental watch 😉 Had it fixed several times but it never lasts 🤷🏻♂️
Also part of dolce vita 😂😂😂
I have an inkling of what the book was but would need to check at home to be sure 😉👍🏻
Wow, fabulous lineup and photos to match ..
You know how much I love the Vacheron, a watch that sums up the Good Life every time I have it on my wrist and your wrist shot shows it in all its glory. Best regards Captain
With you having the watch on the opening shot, I could not but join in 😁👍🏻
Figured you might appreciate that one 😉👍🏻
Big time 👍…
My watch is currently at the spa for a service and a new strap. I’m really excited about getting it back.
Very interesting and not often seen watches.
Love the Chopard. And the Omega, Cartier and Hentschel look really great on your wrist. 🙏
Got some new straps for mine recently, too…
But not tried them on just yet. Looking good 👌🏻👍🏻
The screwbars are a pain to loosen. I could unscrew
one. For the second one the cheap screwdriver was already worn off. As these are BP custom screwheads, I had to ask the help of a BP certified watchmaker with the official tools.
Welcome ! …
Good to have you joining us for WristScan, especially with your powerful Parmigiani Kalpagraph. I love the relaxed vibe of your photos. Best regards Captain
My pleasure akhillikes. I´m happy to know you enjoy the place and also participating in our classic monthly event WS. I look forward to read new posts from you as well as your participation...
... in our future WS editions. Keep enjoying the place! Best, Abel
Wishing the Summer will never end
as this is when the good life really shines brightest! Wishing everyone a wonderful Sunday, Brandon ...
Late to the club, dear Captain, Abel, Art and KMII, but hopefully not too late…
What would happen if I would ask an Italian master watchmaker to create a watch that embodied La Dolce Vita? Perhaps he would craft a rather unique watch: it would have a built-in espresso machine, a compartment for tiramisu and would play the sound of wa...
You’re more than welcome Thomas …
It’s good to have you joining us especially with that spectacular Blancpain rose gold FF, superb photos. Best regards Captain
What a selection of stellar photos and watches.
Particularly like your Fifty Fathoms. Love the water distortion one and also the static on the wood foredeck. Regards
Never too late dear Thomas! May be Panerai would be able to make that Italian Dolce Vita watch you are dreaming! Lol! The case of the Big Egiziano could be the answer! :)))
Stuunning choices to answer the Theme of this weekend you are sharing. Big congrats on your new addition to your impressive collection. A gorgeous and awesome AP it is. It is difficult to choose just one watch among the other choices. The gold FF and the ...
Amazing watches !.. Splendid pics !!
The GP Tourbi Three Bridges and your RG BP are specifically attractive to me.. - you also truly know how to enjoy La Dilce Vita ! 👌 Have a great week ! 😊😎
Met up with Obeezy Thursday night at a rooftop bar in downtown LA . . .

Obeezy's a class guy! . . .
. . . yours truly ordered the usual Mexican beer, while he had an Argentine Malbec. 🍺🍷
Meeting good friends and having a great time with them is one of the best ways of enjoying the Good Life! I´m sure you enjoyed so much the meeting dear Art...
... and your watch choices are tops!! Our local Malbec is getting very popular around the world. It has been the work of many decades to reach the present high quality of this grape variant. I´m happy both of you enjoyed so much! Cheers! Abel
Intriguingly, we share the same target . . .

Just watching world go by
Hi All Bit late this month - been a bit distracted this weekend. Cheers JML ...
Hi JML 👋…
I was just wondering if you were going to join us this weekend. It’s easy to get distracted by a good afternoon tea and pastries 😉
Well better late than never!
If I'm honest it was mainly beer that was the distraction yesterday. 🍻 Cheers JML
Hope i can still chip in .
