WristScan

Hi everyone, sorry for the delay. Long day at work :-( Here is what will be on my wrist this weekend...My Omega Museum Collection Pilots watch Japan LE. What will you be wearing? Looking forward! Cheers, Mike ...  

That is a killa watch! I need to hear more about it, maybe a new post on the Omega forum soon?

Limited to 150 pieces, white MOP dial. 40mm in diameter. Best, Mike

. . . of what turned out to be the Museum Collection. There was a Museum Collection edition of the 1938 Pilot, but yours preceded that one by a few years . . . I think! Hard to remember details anymore ;-) . . .

Thanks for the clarification Art. Best, Mike

Best wishes Alkiro ...  

I've never been able to try it out in the metal...I think that is a good thing, or else there would be a larger hole in the bank account! Thanks for sharing and that first composed photo is awesome Best, Mike

No worries, just a little hole in your bank account with this one 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Great piece.

. . . to switch to my Karree Panodate for the day. Taking Amtrak for the first time ever in a few hours, might as well have a new wrist companion along for the trip! Art

My choice is limited to my RD Easy Diver. Shameless plug, If anyone is looking for a new laptop I really like this Surface Book 2. Best, Martin ...  

I have the original Surface tablet but was looking for a new laptop. will have to go check it out at the nearby Microsoft store. I like the RD too Hope you are not working hard and get a chance to play...so many fond memories of Atlanta where I spent my y... 

What about this one: JLC Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Cylindrique Color plus color plus a gorgeous dial. A macro shot of the tourbillion cylindrique An amazing weekend to all. Cheers, Nilo ...  

that must be a marvelous watch to just stare at! what an entry for this week Nilo. Best, Mike

looks like this week is gonna be an early round knockout winner

Best wishes Alkiro

I had restrictions about the step on the dial, but I love the Cylindrique Tourbillon. Cheers, Nilo

But, at the same time, it gives a touch of originality to this timepiece which helps it to be less "conventional" for me. Best wishes Alkiro

Now I’m ashamed! This is beautiful! That cylindrical balance spring is to die for! I particularly like nice escapements. Give me a Breguet over coil any day, but this knocks it out of the park. Thanks for posting.

and your last macro shot of the tourbillon killer, mean winner! Stefan

. . . is luscious. Art

For me it will probably be this: Have a great weekend! ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Looking better now but let’s see...

Take care of her. Best wishes Alkiro

This watch truely embodies the Grand Seiko style of design.

Thanks Harry

HAGWE, Mike

But you are spot on - new to me And High Frequency is definitely one of the focus areas for me. Grand Seiko 4520-8000 btw.

. . . and the vintage version, no less. HAGWE, K. (There: a complete sentence in all caps!)

I have learned from our encounter in Zagreb and started looking at vintage. A couple of pieces still looking for but it’s definitely fun Thanks Art!

...  

this one must be really hard to take off your wrist! Hope all is well, Mike

amazing patina. captivating

In some areas, modifying something from the standard template is expected. and even celebrated. I was in Luang Prabang earlier this week, and chanced upon this tuk-tuk modified into an explosion of colour. In a similar (but less colourful) vein, modding S...  

Best wishes Alkiro

But I got sprayed with water while bathing an elephant in the Mekong, and also took a dip in the Tad Sae waterfalls. Happily the Seiko made it through!

Best wishes Alkiro

Then then water festivities started! ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

. . . way to go, NT ;-) . . .

Making changes and personalizing Seikos have always been a fun part of "collecting"... Looking to hearing more about your interesting trip....that is a definately an unique destination. Best, Mike

The weekend! Best Blomman ...

HAGWE, Mike

Best Stefan

Have scheduled to see some Laureatos (blue & grey)next week, when I'm back. We'll see.. Anyway, yours is great ! Best & Enjoy your GTG, guys ! hs

These Laureato's are very cool. Best. G.

Hi A couple of my JDM Seikos And a random Nomos picture Cheers JML ...  

The Seiko are not too bad too if course 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

Nicely understated & wears bigger than its 35/6 mm would suggest. Needs a bit more wrist time if I'm honest Cheers JML

You're definitely right. Give it more wrist time. Best wishes Alkiro

No one does it better, Thanks for sharing your weekend wear, Best, Mike

If you want a full on glow in the dark shot - charge it with a torch & it's almost unreal! Cheers JML

Patek 2552.... the disco volante ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

Such a charming nickname isn’t it! This watch is beautiful, look at that case!

To be fair, the 2552 looks more like a flying saucer.

I love that nickname though

Love the double stepped bezel. I am unwinding from being up all night at work and watching an episode of "ancient aliens"...that profile shot reminds me of a UFO CHeers, Mike

The Disco Volante is quite special indeed, a design classic!

Would go very well with: All the best. G. ...  

. . . looks like the vintage GS . . . . . . is going to be on duty for a few days. Warmest, Art ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

. . . with its blend of gentle curves and straight lines, multiple angles, and matte vs polished surfaces. When Ken posted it several years ago, I knew right on the spot that I had to have one. And when Cazalea saw it on my wrist, he had the same reaction... 

Best wishes Alkiro

Hope you busy with "fun" stuff this weekend. Best, Mike

. . . that fades into eggplant blackish purple on the sides from a coconut center. Sparkly, too. Easily the most delicious dial in my collection ;-) . . .

These always render charm, timeless appeal & some element of coolness ! -- BTW, liked the shot as well ! Best. )

. . . and yes, that's an intentional pun.

Quite a hefty thing... ...  

Have you had a chance to weigh it on a scale? It looks awfully nice though. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Yes definitely the heaviest of all my watches..but its still comfortable to wear.. havent weigh it though..

Best wishes Alkiro

.. Recently got more & more fond of some Independents, not the type of " beyond-the-horizon & wallet", but nice to have in a realistic realm.. Thus, I chose two, both of which came along to our November escape to the Southern Cape.. Summer memories AB...  

My Sinn and Doxa have had the most wear recently. Independents are great, so interesting.

.. certain attracting "Je ne sais pas pourquoi".. Cheers, hs :

Watch that I where for a prolonged period of time in the hospital. I don't know how many people have actually disinfected their watch according to the protocol. I do it every time I wear the watch at work and come home. It really is a cool feature. Those ... 

.. some few times. But apart from that feature Irvin's a joyous, a bit exuberant piece with some eclectic character ! Best & HAGWE ! hs.

.. But in fact I would have very much loved, to see you & join you all at the Paris GTG ! All I can say, there will be other times, I truly trust !! Cheers & HAGWE, Best, hs.

I think I’ll post an ‘out in the wild’ review soon. This watch is SO USEFUL! As you guys can see I have an early start today on Saturday morning... I’m timing my coffee brewing (another hobby of mine, I love coffee!) with the chronograph and I have the co...  

It really helps me get the job done. Literally!

Best wishes Alkiro

I’m not a chronograph guy. This is the cleanest chrono I know of and it is perfect for my morning routine and work day.

Best wishes Alkiro

I’ll be wearing an early gift from this guy: Wears amazingly well with that beautiful bracelet, now I just have to head to the ocean and give it a proper try! Enjoy your weekend guys! Regards, R. ...  

I have the Searambler. You’re right about the bracelet, enjoy my friend!

Great Doxa! Thanks for sharing, Mike

Seen at the Dubai Watch Week last weekend: I get increasingly fascinated by the Bvlgari Octo...there quite a few stunning pieces out, but the more accessible pieces are nice as well (sorry for the lousy picture above...taken by mobile, as you can guess) O...  

is really underappreciated...I tried on last year during a layover at one of the airport's boutique, almost walked out with one! Thanks for sharing your equally impressive AP Best, Mike

It is Gerald Genta “based” but not an actual GG design. BTW, I finally got an Octo after seeing it in the airport a few times 😀 Best Stefan

Best wishes Alkiro

HAGWE! ...  

The Manatee is definitely one of the tops in my collection.

Still love that integrated Manatee Band. Hope all is well and thanks for participating, Mike

the Manatee becomes yours and yours alone. The replacement band for the Manatee is certainly unique because it is also part of the case.

Best wishes Alkiro

.. they've been breathing air of the 70 IRS, if I guess correctly, (maybe a little bit earlier ?).. Keep enjoying them in Best of your health ! .. Cheers. )

maybe even 1960's. Some great eras for design. Thanks hs111!

I am ntrigued by Ikepod. So subtle yet modern - & no bling ;-) Cheers. G.

Hope to collect another in the future.

Always a favorite and the lume is outstanding for the night rides. Best to all, Tim ...  

thanks for sharing, Mike

HAGWE ...  

Best wishes Alkiro

I didn't think the dial color matched the dial in the official press release photos but your photo changes my mind. Awesome pickup! Best, Mike

...  

kids spoiled my plans... so I'm going kinda crazy Cheers friends D ...  

I hope everything is ok now 🙏 Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

The Defy is cool as always. Hope your weekend gets better Mike

That's what babies and mother got around wrist moments they are born...same number for recognition in nursery....my most prized bands! Cheers D

Warmest, Mike

ready for Christmas and the year end ! Cheers Robin ...  

. . . same here this week, between vintage Omegas earlier, the vintage GS Thursday and Friday, and now a GO. Gotta cover all the bases ;-) . . .

I love how you rotate too

Cheers, Mike

have to save for kids too lol

both vintage, both automatic but approx. 10 years apart... CC ...  

Both of them are stunners, but I really like that gyromatic. HAGWE, Mike

Well, except really rough & tough tasks.. Best my friend, with a humble GP shot ! Cheers & Have a great 2nd GTG day !! Balanced elegance, yet with an understated flavor.. ...  

And the layers of silver. Best. G.

and it's GP every time ;-). Great photos, and dials on these GP's CC. Best. G.

Or a nice starter ...  

. . . in France?

. . . and she wasn't kidding, either.

NIce unique pair that you will be wearing this weekend. Thanks for sharing, Mike

... also play with the Pilot’s theme this week end! Here a few pictures to wish a nice week end to you and all our dear friends here! Cheers! Abel ...  

Have a nice weekend Yours D

You know, I’d love to see one with the same movement as the Portuguese auto, with the two barrels and the index less balance the dial on the new one is just great!

I can't chose my favorite, they are all so nice Have a good weekend, Mike

...  

Best, Tim

I love the profile photo, really shows off the curvature of the case and the transparency of the dial. So cool, Mike

Here’s my latest, Torsti Laine’s lovely 1817. Not enamel unfortunately, but it wouldn’t be at this price point. The Movt. is lovely and a big part of why I jumped in. HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

Will have to read more on his website. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Best wishes Alkiro

Here is my new love ... HAGWE all!! ...  

This one looks good. I had the small hand one and sold it. This is killer though... I’m almost tempted to come back into the fold

It has nice lume too, compared to the previous iteration,

cannot beat it Cheers, Mike

Embezzlement rather tribute to Nicolas for its sublissime pic ! here is mine HAGWE ...  

Good choice my friend

Best wishes Alkiro

Best wishes Alkiro

It is a beauty....wear it in good health. Best, Mike

appreciate the comments and all your efforts in organizing this week's wristscan thread! Cheers,

My gear yesterday to the trail. Cheers! SF ...
