Wristscan for 8 Apr starts now - Nature vs Cities

Apr 07, 2016,07:41 AM
 

Hi everyone!

Weekend is approaching! As per our tradition, I am kicking off this weekend's wristscan now (close to 12am 8 Apr over here in Singapore).

Theme for this weekend is Nature vs Cities!

You can share wristshots or static pics of your watches against the backdrop of your favorite or home city such as the central business district, skyscrapers or some landmarks you like. Or you can go to the other extreme to have pics of your watches against natural sceneries such as forests, nature reserves, rivers or seas or lacks, mountains, etc.

Or you can submit both and let our judges mull over their preferences for Cities or Nature!



JLC saying Hi to the CBD in Singapore



Cartier with me during a visit to a nature reserve in Singapore against the fields of the reserve

I look forward to your participation and your nice pics of Nature and/or cities with your watches .

Have a good weekend everyone. Time to chill and relax smile

Cheers
Robin

 By: KMII : April 7th, 2016-08:39

Banana, with patina

 
 By: NT931 : April 7th, 2016-08:54
Why, that's as natural as it gets! ;-) ...  

LOL

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2016-10:13
Not only is the banana natural, so is the leather that both are placed on - a great, if unexpected picture (and choice)

'Banana with patina' . . . damn! . . .

 
 By: Dr No : April 7th, 2016-13:35
. . . sure wish I'd thought of that ;-) . . .

You never fail to ..

 By: KMII : April 7th, 2016-10:14
Never knew that the Rouge had all the ingredients of a chameleon - brilliant!

Killer shots Joe

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 7th, 2016-18:28
I love the Rouge and nature in shades of red Cheers Robin

Joe: Your pictures show that the TT to 1931 it is truly a chamaleon watch!

 
 By: Subexplorer : April 9th, 2016-06:14
This is one of my favorite watches and always amazes me to view hoy the red hue changes as per the incidence of light. Your ebautiful pictures show that to perfection! Hagwe my friend! Abel

Like how your JLC goes with the skyscrapers...

 
 By: KMII : April 7th, 2016-10:21
And the Cartier seems to go with nature a lot better than its geometrical appearance would suggest

Thanks and Glad you like them my friend :) [nt]

Thank you Robin....

 
 By: watercolors : April 8th, 2016-02:10
But even in urban environment you can have nature connection, i.e. plants on your balcony rooftop gardens, bees etc. And continue to cultivate the love for mechanical watches All the best Edward.

Static? Moving??

 
 By: Marcus Hanke : April 7th, 2016-15:21
It's not a static pic, but a moving one. Maybe it is accepted anyhow: Just in case that not, here is a truly static pic of this watch in a natural, rather humid environment: A wristshot in my favourite - pseudo-natural - environment: And again: nature, na...  

Great shots Marcus!

 
 By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : April 7th, 2016-18:33
Your moving static shots ! New category lol Have a good weekend Cheers Robin

... when a part of the bridge was burned by accident (said to be cigarette butt of a tourist...). Really sad to see the status-quo of the bridge. I was there 20 years ago and last year again. What a change..... Thanks, Tim! Nice place to capture the watch...
