WristScan - October Edition … Now Live !
Hello dear friends !
We are now live and starting a little earlier for our big watch community event.
The theme is all about our watches and “treats” of any kind that we enjoy in life. This could be something simple like a coffee in the morning, a little patisserie, your favourite music, friends, or even the car you love. The main thing is it’s your special treat, the thing that makes life just a little better.
The simple treat in the WristScan poster, is of a tasty apple patisserie that I (Captain) enjoyed overlooking a beautiful beach with a coffee this week… delicious !
Don’t forget that we have an additional new category for our new format WristScan. This is the “Classic” category for wrist watches and timepieces of ten years old or more.
The categories presented by our moderator team of judges are as follows:
Our new “Classic” category - Art
Best Static Shot - Abel
Best Wrist Shot - KMII
Watch Of The Week - Captain
The results will be posted on Sunday evening dependant on our judges time zones.
We look forward to seeing your photos and having some fun !
Best regards and thank you for joining us

On the no-processed carbs diet . . .
. . . so only natural treats for me. The usual blend of Ethiopian and Hawaiian coffees, fresh figs, and . . . . . . date rolls dusted with coconut and almonds. And yes, I've lost three pounds in three weeks. ...
That is one beautiful still life :-)
And a very nice Speedmaster! Maybe it helps a little with your diet to know that you are not alone with it. Since three months I am on it too (with noticable results). We can do it!
Ah, but you didn't really need to lose much weight, Martin. It's a struggle . . .
. . . just staying chubby.
People tended to underestimate my true weigh t.
Actually I was beyond 100kg. Hoping that you will start loosing pounds at a higher rate soon, Art.

What a concidence!
This morning I am sitting at the terrace of a little Hotel at Lake Como and I decide to go back to the buffet looking for a little treat to close breakfast. What I found was a little apple patisserie, by concidence just like the Captain described it. It t...

Such an enjoyable afternoon we had, talking about watches and more shared interests, Do you wonder who it was?! Just have a look at the photograph... Next one one is about one of the annual treats that I'm always longing to happen... Lovely theme this wee...
A treat shared is indeed a very special thing …
But meeting someone with much in common is the greatest pleasure of all. Best Captain
Congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
The watch was a giveaway for sure! And enjoy the family holiday 👋🏻
Hello Simone. What a treat to meet a fellow member in the flesh. Guess I know well who he is by his signature Doxa! Lol!
I´m happy for both of you. I´m sure you had a great time. I would have loved to join both of you. Great shots and watches and enjoy so much your annual treat! Happy weekend! Abel
Thanks Abel,
We really had a great time. Maybe, one day, we can reach you "at the end of the world", I've never been there and I'd really love to... Have a great weekend too!
My big pleasure Simone! I can well imagine you had a great time. And it would be a pleasure to meet you some day too. Be it here or in your land.
May be I can fulfill my dream of diving in the Mediterranean some day and you can be my buddy there or you may visit my Country of course which I feel you would enjoy. Enjoy your weekend! Best, Abel
The Value of Time
The value of time is immeasurable. Two seconds in the right place with dear people and the perfect watch can't be surpassed by anything. ...
I like your thinking 🤔 …
Time in itself is a treat in life. Good shot of your Lange, do you have a wrist shot to tempt us with ?
Bucherer blue edition …
I love the dial and your choice of book. Good looking combo !
How about a pair of draft
Sam Adams with your lovely life partner (wife) in a vintage scenario (198 years old place with a 54 years old watch)... nothing beats quality time with your beloved ones ...
A pub nearly two centuries old?! . . .
. . . the longest-serving bar in Los Angeles is the Golden Gopher, established 1905. Actually, it's their liquor license that's over the century mark; they changed locations about twenty years ago. Only a block or so, but still not in its original buildin...
Centuries…
When I read out your comment to my wife (who is sending her best regards) she smiled and presented the beer mug that she had emptied just before: Best, Martin ...
Hi Martin...
Now my wife is full of envy for that sweet mug !, greetings to you both from Costa Rica 🍻
need to visit the Golden Gopher when in CA :)

Usual treats
But my über favourite treat is the time spent with my beautiful wife Best regards to all ...
Happy wife, happy life ! …
Hello Ludi, It’s good to see that you both share the passion for watches. Your shots look very good especially the last shot of you both together, very touching. Best Captain
You share some delicious treats Bill. And great watches to accompany them. The DSA is stunning! I wonder which Pam is the one shared in your first shot.
Enjoy a nice and relaxed weekend dear Bill! Best cordial regards, Abel
Hi Bill …
The food, the wine and the watches, all perfect as treats for living the good life ! Your choice of watches are sublime. Best Captain
Something sweet:)
Hi all Just indulging my sweet tooth If we're talking treat - that still leaves booze Cheers JML ...
Do the alarms time till when the piece needs to be eaten? 😂🎂
Truly fabulous shots, making me thoroughly hungry 😁
I hadn't noticed how many alarms were in the shots! - but no, never need reminding when to eat cake 🙂
Might be that I too many alarms, but not convinced about that. Remember n +1 is the appropriate number Cheers JML
Treat overload 😬…
Oris and a cherry bakewell, Reverso and double macarons ! You are living the dream my friend ! Best Captain
One vice instead of another - sugar instead of beer
The beer shots are a whole other category & there are many of them 🍻
Hello dear Captain and friends! Yes, treats can be different…
… but all of them make life better! They can be delicious and tasty treats like cofee, drinks, chocolates or meals… A treat can also be relaxing and reading a book… Of course to drive an special car can be a nice treat too… But best treats are those we ke...
True words…
And a fabulous raft of shots to demonstrate them 😊👍🏻 Great watch / treat combinations indeed!
Eye catching treats …
Each and every one is a treat, both your selection of watches and treats gets my approval, but especially the last one 😉 Best Captain
Now here’s some of mine…
As some of you know, experimenting with straps is a treat for me… 😂 As is driving. Road trips are best but even the daily commute can be fun 🏎️ Exploring new places… Or revisiting old ones… Reading… Spending time with kids 🤹🏻♂️ Enjoying nature… And winte...
Hello dear friend KM! Viewing your strap choices is always a treat. You have a superb taste to combine textures and colors of your straps. Great watches and some winner shots here.
Keep enjoying your weekend and watches and treats my dear friend. Best cordial regards, Abel
Thanks so much Abel!
Tomorrow it’s cleaning the car of the signs the children left over the past six months, so I can return it on Monday 🤦🏻♂️ But it’s holidays from Tuesday onwards, so there’s something to look forward to 😁🤞🏻
Ohh! I know what are you talking ago. You have a big task tomorrow with your car. My pleasure to view and comment your entry. Always a treat to view you shots and watches.
Have a great Sunday in spite of the cleaning session! Best cordial regards, Abel
Steak tartare?! . . .
. . . that's one of the off-the-menu specialties at The Rainbow Bar and Grill. Miguel made it a few times while I was present for a regular customer who also fancied raw beef. Remind me when you visit LA. ;-)
Colourful treats …
Hello my friend, Your colourful straps are a treat for us to see. I particularly like the pink strap combo on your Laine. Best Captain
Welcome to our WS event JousefJ ! Furlan Marri makes some superb watches. I like the inspiration of classic vintage watches of their dials. This one you share here is a real beauty.
Nice shot in company of a tasty treat. Enjoy your weekend. Best, Abel
Wow dear Art! I don´t remember viewing this watch in your collection before. A new arrival? As a matter of fact I didn´t know this model from Omega. Case looks a similar design as...
... our beloved Flightmaster isn´t it? Enjoy your Sunday my dear friend. Abel
I've had the Genève Stingray for quite awhile, Abel, but . . .
. . . had to wait until now to wear it because it requires a scarce 20/14 mm strap. Finally sourced one this week, so it's getting its maiden voyage on my wrist this weekend. Best, Art
Thank you for your answer dear Art. I didn’t know this model.
It has a lot of character and presence on the wrist. Very interesting. I’m happy to know you’ve found the correct strap and now you can enjoy wearing it so much! Have a nice Sunday Art! Abel
It's kinda like the platypus of Omega's history, Cap - odd irregular shape . . .
. . . combined with an equally odd dial (no minutes markers) and a movement that was a joint venture with Tissot. They were made in the early '70s for just a few years. On my wrist now for the third straight day, and enjoying it more than expected.
Since the Museum has inconveniently bypassed the Stingray . . .
. . . (or Cobra, as it's also known), here's a macro . . . . . . for your viewing pleasure. Notice the absence of minute marks, unusual for a cushion case design. Tool watch case, dress dial . . . not often seen. ...
Thank you for joining us YousefJ …
Nice choice of watch for this shot, it looks excellent with your coffee. Best Captain
Thanks for hosting Captain!
A couple of treats - one for consumption and one for the ages - 350th Anniversary coming up in a few years😊 ...
Thanks KM.
Lock & Co was founded in 1676 and has been making hats at its location on St. James’ Street, London ever since. Well worth a visit - even if you don’t wear a hat. This particular model is the Fairbanks Trilby - of which I have 3. It’s a bit less overpower...
That is both cool and funny 😂
I remember that companies used to have hat codes as an element of the dress codes 😊
Hello and welcome Timeout …
Your hat shot is my kind of quality treat. Superb ! Best Captain
Many thanks Abel.
I just put the CDV back on its Serapian strap for the winter. The summer months here are hot and humid so I generally go for straps with a natural rubber lining.
You are welcome Timeout. I like the Serapian looks and comfort so much and I have kept those original straps in my own CVD till today. I understand your point about wearing them during Summer ...
... and your preference for rubber lined straps. In my personal case my skin doesn´t bear rubber straps contact for long periods so I can´t rely on them in my watches. That´s truly a shame. Keep enjoyin this beautiful chrono so much! Best, Abel
Great theme, Cpt! Relaxing with lattes and watches . . .
I think you get the idea!😉 ...
I need one to make an eagle, Art! I’ll give them a great tip!😆
This amazing barista has finished college and has moved on to greener pastures!😢 ...
Wow Mach! What an array of great watches! You had the help of a great barista to shoot these horological treats.
So many wonderful watches (with some of my personal favorites among them) makes difficult to choose just one... or two. I´m specialy in love with your Chopard with its stunning dial. Enjoy them so much and have a nice and relaxed weekend. Abel
Wow ! … I’m buzzing after all that caffeine 😬
Good to have you with us Mach. I absolutely love your watch choices and it’s difficult to choose just one. Your Chopard looks particularly nice with a coffee. Best Captain
Zombies! Scarecrow! And Sexy Nurses trying to lure you into sure death! BEWARE!!!
It was just another typical late evening last night, until.................. Beware the scarecrow! . . Within Sin City, the Zombies are hungry for brains! . . . Evil Sexy Nurses are trying to seduce humans with alcoholic jello shots! ..... i... i... i can...
OHH Enjoythemusic! Looks like you had a very scary night there! Fortunately it seems you returned home unharmed except for the missing pants. Lol!
Seems that the fantastic lume of your Panerai kept the Zombies at bay. Have a nice and relaxed Sunday! Abel
Oh yes, Nurses have many hidden talents 😎
The PAM 1118 seemed like a natural with all the blacklight and glowing spooky scenes. The X1 lume is sooooo bright that it doubled as a flashlight within the five Haunted Houses we visited.
Yes, and they had great music playing too. More adult oriented :)
Plus many of the usual park lights were off, so rollercoasters were far more fun. If you have the time, well worth it imho.
I’ve been ! …
and absolutely loved it. “The body factory” was seriously scary 😧… and a lot of fun.
Weekend treat..
Treats. Hello Captain and friends. Well the superb Indian Summer we are experiencing here is a real treat for me. Every Saturday (weather permitting) is a treat I look forward to Spending time with like minded friends And my trusted timekeeper close and s...

This is a real treat to find a relaxing and quiet retreat from busy city life .. pack backpacks, pick up kids from school get to apoirt and within hour ... Enjoy sunset and watching sons playing football on the beach. One day they grow up and have their o...
Hi Ajas …
Relaxed treats look wonderful in your photos. The first shot is dreamy and reminds me of my late afternoons spent fishing. Best Captain
