WristScan

Hello dear friends ! We are now Live for Wristscan ! This weekend our theme is “Watches & Props”. This should be an easy theme for us to enjoy as we can be creative with our watches and all kinds of props shown in your photos from cars, family, pets, spor...  

I hope we can see some great shots from you with your watches.

… Guest Host this weekend and with a great Theme which I feel will bring an enthusiastic answer from our members. Props are a very important part of our watch photography as it adds moods, impact or just its share of humor to the picture of our beloved wa... 

It’s going to interesting to see the photos and hopefully some great watches.

It’s a nice picture with the AP openwork on the golfing lawns. The pic is almost like a watch poster/advertisement. I’ll try to take a nice photo this week.

On Wristscan this weekend. Good luck with it !

One is mechanical, but may be mistaken for digital; the other is a synapsid, but often gets mistaken for a dinosaur. One originated in 2011; the other 280 million years ago. One thing in common however, both examples have been found in Germany! Best, Colt...  

That’s a great shot and your Lange looks very good. It’s a powerful watch. Have a great weekend and thanks for joining us.

... for your participation! Hagwe! Abel

Of my favorite German watch on the one hand, and an animal family we have loads off at home on the other 😁👌🏻

So since I am hosting and cannot win anything LOL, I will post some fun shots I have taken over the past year or 2. Enjoy and have fun everyone 😜😁😉👍🙏 Et voilà. I probably went overboard but it was a lot of fun to go over these photos and post them again. ...  

. . . hosting? You're entirely eligible!

Some excellent prop shots Justin and Yokozuna always looks great in your photos.

... And more charming prop: Yokozuna wins! Well... If I need to choose just one watch among your selection... You know: the AP openwork drives me crazy! Now, being host you still keep being elegible in the categories you don' t judge yourself. And you hav... 

I must say I approve the cat. It’s the best prop! LOL

Seems to be an unbelievably docile creature on the one hand, and your collection mind blowing on the other. But the Breguet carried by the Omega astronaut is pure perfection 😁👌🏻🙌🏻

Hello dear friends, I hope that everyone is looking forward to a great weekend. Just a few Props & Watches to share you ... Powerful props ... Dependable props ... Super lightweight props ... Happy hour props ;-)) Have a great weekend friends ! Best regar...  

. . . on the Fourth!" And ~ 4:00 o'clock - even better. 👍🏻 ...  

I'm specially fond of props used in pictures 1 and 2. Guess it is no surprise for you! Lol! Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Abel

And wasn’t aware Kylie has a second (or third) career 😁👌🏻

Haha 😂 like a puck, get it? ...  

Beautiful watches and well chosen props or backgrounds make a delight for the eyes! Hagwe! Abel

. . . the GO Panomatic Lunar Nebra limited edition set alongside the actual Nebra disc. For those who aren't aware, in '07 GO produced a limited edition of ten PMLs for an Austrian AD with moonphase discs that mimicked the Nebra disc. And what, you might ...  

when I see this beautiful Omega Art. Your shot with an 8-ball and your rosewood cue is superb. I can just imagine Paul Newman standing to the side of your shot as in film, The Colour Of Money.

. . . when I made this shot. Better lucky than good ...  

. . . you visit So Cal, Cap. Pool is some of the best entertainment . . . . . . money can buy. 🎱

... Would make for a winning stunning shot! Your black dial Connie is such a beautiful piece. I specially like the mood of your rosewood cue and 8 ball. Great shot! Guess they are some kind of sgnature props for you! Have a nice week end my dear Art! Chee... 

. . . I used to make that three-rail kick shot into a side pocket. Not sure which I treasure more, Connie or the cue ;-) . . .

Not the best picture of it, but if you enlarge it, you can see the mp disc looking like the Nebra. In the papers of this watch it is saying 2005? ...  

. . . as my recollection is the moonphase disc is green. Thanks very much for finding it! The Nebra is one of those watches that if photographic evidence didn't exist, it would be hard to say it exists at all. Cazalea finally found an image of the blue go...  

. . . San Nicolas Stout. ...  

On another note I once read a definition of quaffing - where you spilt more than you drank! Courtesy of Terry Pratchett in one of the Discworld series. Cheers & enjoy the beer! JML

. . . for decades. I've had it a few times. Will have to wait for a visit to Scotland, though, to taste it on tap. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

When there was a bit more novelty than just a different dial color… Now I am truly curious about the watch 😁 Great shots, Art 👍🏻

. . . everyone's favorite. It's one of two in my collection that periodically receives unsolicited offers. My reply is always, "Why do you think they call me Dr No?"

The question should simply be if you have anything against parting with it 😂😂😂

...  

It matches so well

Good choices for matching with this theme.

Lovely Rolex OP with colorful dials. Very nice! The Porsch is always a great prop... And a joy to drive of course! Thank you for sharing these great shots my friend! Hagwe! Abel

Great shots Yacomino 🙌🏻👌🏻

Juxtaposed with a Wollemi Pine, known as a collector’s pine tree. It is a very strange and rare plant, which was thought to be extinct, but rediscovered in a small area in the Blue Mountains. Then, scientists didn’t believe this plant would still exist. ...  

very interesting and creative Cookies !

Oh yes, rmb your no-limits theme a few weeks ago? The No Limits song is on my favourite playlist now.

We used to sing “ There’s no lyrics” back in the day ;-))

Hagwe! Abel

Wish you a great week ahead.

The black dial one was a gift I received almost 20 years ago and the white dial one is a new old stock I bought online very recently, to make them a pair. 35mm unisex model. For the white dial watch, the hour marks show 13 to 24, and today is 18, so the d...  

You were lucky to get that new old stock version. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I' m curious about the prop used on your second shot. Is that some kind of wooden case? Thank you for your participation Sfwatchlover! Hagwe. Abel

I was browsing Chrono24 one day and did a search of the reference number and I was very surprised to see a NOS, as these watches were made like 20 years ago. The watch was sent from Germany to California for me, and it includes a tag and a sticker on the ...  

I can well understand your motivation to go for it! Emotions and memories are part of our collecting feelings. Regarding the case: interesting to know. Thank you for your additional shots and the time you took to have these pictures for me. It's beautiful... 

Have a great day too! Best cordial regards. Abel

Plants Pictures of watch movements especially Lange’s Watch collectibles Fountain pens and watch books especially on the esteemed late Mr Walter Lange More plants A globe with a world timer Whisky as props ...  

But you made this very special with your choice of superb PP’s ! Well played !

Indeed watches and whisky or watches and wine are always good combos. W&Ws

Was an idea for all German accessories pic

It was my kid's globe haha

A kid's first globe.

Glad you like them

Best Regards deBalzac ...  

Good shot ! Thank you for joining us on Wristscan. Hope you have a great weekend.

Hagwe! Abel

Lets see if i can find a few nice pics . Hagwe 🤗 ...  

Difficult to choose between them, all are good for our theme, but i’m interested in hearing how you are enjoying your Kudoke watch.

I really love my K2 . I didn’t wear it for a while (need to give some love to other watches too 😉)but can’t wait to strap it on my wrist again . Also like to visit Stefan and Ev again when possible and maybe talk about a new project.

I love your turtle. We also have a pet turtle at home. We enjoy viewing it wlaking in our backyard garden during Spring and Summer. Presently ivernating in our cold Winter which starts in a couple of days here. Pets can be great props for our watch shots ... 

I really love my turtles. They have an amazing personality .

… and with a great Theme you brought here. You illustrate it with some breathtaking shots and watches which set the bar very high. As I said before Props are a very important part of our watch photography as it adds moods, impact or just its share of humo...  

Well played

From Covid no fresh shots. But let’s see what I can find… In terms of props, starting with luggage… Lego… Straps… Pens… Gloves… Ties… Jackets… Toys… And finally colored pencils (and some crystal mods by our 3,5 year old 😉)… Have a great weekend all! ...  

I very sorry to hear that you have been hit with the virus. How are you feeling today ?

The vaccination definitely helped - apparently without both my wife and me would probably have ended up on a respirator. Took me about two weeks to recover to more or less a normal state. Should be fully up to speed in another 3-4. But good enough for 6-8... 

your employer was the KGB 🤔

Where I am based the KGB has been ‘rebranded’ in the 1990s 😉

...  

. . . now, that's hysterical ;-) . . .

... serious complications. Agree with you that vaccination helped so much. I wish you and your wife will be completely recovered very soon! 6/8 hours of daily conference requires a big effort indeed. Hope you can rest more to recover soon! Receive my best... 

If everything works well, then our today’s tests will all be negative and then tomorrow we will be able to leave the house for the first time in three weeks 🤞🏻

... And dials to get these stunning shots of your beautiful timepieces. With my wishes of a soon complete recovery and kind regards, Abel

Glad you like the props 😊👍🏻

Also hope you (and your loved ones ) will recover and get back to normal living soon 🙏🏻

Hi All A few from the library HAGWE Cheers JML ...  

In our previous flat I tended to make many more book shots (and piano ones) but here the piano is in a dark corner and we were allowed to bring few physical books 🤷🏻‍♂️ Great shots, my favorite being the Memomatic and the Futurematic 👏🏻👌🏻 ... 

With Smith & Wesson at my Noodles Noodles and Noodles Jailhouse bed With a shoe ...  

Those handcuffs don’t look very comfortable, even if they make for a fantastic prop for the shot 🙌🏻

I’m a little concerned about the handcuffs ;-))

Hope you have a great weekend! ...  

And a superb strap, if I may say so 👌🏻

Really good shots, I particularly like the giant eyeball and the final shot hits the spot perfectly. Have a great weekend and thanks for joining us.

... In a precise instant! A winner shot ! Hagwe! Abel

Whisk(e)y and Wurst! ...  

That’s the wurst prop i’ve seen this weekend ;-)) However a good watch and Whiskey is always a winner in my book 🥃🥃... cheers !

I was very near of catching it a couple of years ago but could not close the deal at last time. Hopefuly I will get it sooner or later. Keep enjoying and loving yours my dear friend!

...  

to be fair the Bathyscaphe has been overboard 😉 

Nice reading as well. Cheers! Abel

.. the Bathyscaphe is mine but the book and prop are my son’s!

I will have to dig out pictures from the phone ...  

. . . plus a Ranchero are a winning hand in my poker game! 🂱

I particularly like this one ☝️ ...  

Not easy to choose just one of your watches ... But you know I deeply love that white dial Ranchero! Hagwe! Abel

Hope this brings back memories of simpler times. No cable or wifi here. -John ...  

... With those little round jewells in the street with no fears or dangers. Beautiful shot with a strong emotional feeling added by your prop. Well played John! Thank yiu for your participation! Cheers! Abel
