WristScan

Hello dear friends ! Our big community event is now live and our theme is all about our “weekend watches”. I’m sure most of us enjoy a change of watch and the pace of life at the weekend, free from the constraints of the week and our numerous commitments....  

Enjoying meeting friends for lunch with “The Hulk” ! ...  

The dial is like a chameleon !

The Hulk is a fantastic Submariner. A different character to the classic all black Submariner we are all fond of. I specially love its chamaleonic green dial, which changes from a brilliant emerald green to almost black depending the angle of incidence of... 

The Hulk definitely relies on lighting conditions to show its true potential. Part of the pleasure is watching it change in different environments. Best regards Captain

...  

I was just checking 😉 Nice shots !

I have ordered a few more straps but already had a few that fits well! ...  

Hello my dear friend, Your Longines looks so good with so many of your straps. I would love to her tour thoughts on this watch.

After 3 days the rate is dead on! (No deviation when wearing and 1 sec at night…but since the second night I left it on a different position, it cancelled out!). Truly impressive. It truly wears like a small 43mm Panerai and i actually order several strap... 

I really like the watch and must try one on my wrist.

Just announced a few days ago and already on your wrist!! And with enough time to try it with some superb straps! Big congrats my friend. Lovely timepiece and a strap monster!! Enjoy it in the best of good health!! Hagwe Abel

... as this new Longines looks fantastic with them all. Enjoy it so much my dear friend. Hagwe, Abel

. . . it Longines had recreated the original . . . [Longines 15.94 photo credit: eBay] . . . movement? Updated to modern technical standards, but mimicking the original layout? Or even the pocket watch version as depicted above? ...  

I love the idea of a pocket watch movement and thats why I choose this one … ...  

. . . around thirty-five years ago. Large, but not quite as large as your Zenith powered by their incomparable 5011K movement. ...  

. . . from watchmaking's Dark Decade. I've never seen an Hour Angle in the metal; our first Omega Forum moderator Bill Sohne owned one in the past, if memory serves correct, and George Gently posted his on WPS . . . . . . a few years ago. ...  

Though I have to say , I don’t think of it as a weekend watch but do love it on the wrist ( despite the size ) whenever I get the chance . Acquired around ‘09 but never tire of looking at it 🙂 ...  

. . . exceedingly doubtful my wrist would accommodate a Lindbergh, much less a Type 20, but these leviathans are still personally fascinating on account of their historical legitimacy coupled with compelling pocket watch movements. Gratefully, Art

I have a thin wrist too , but this watch’s form is so wonderful it manages to sit comfortably despite the size .

. . . to make an informed judgement. Usually watches in that size range don't work aesthetically on my wrist, but there are exceptions, like Omega's Ultra Deep. Best, Art

. . . taken yesterday of Bill's. [watch and photo credit: Bill S, 03/04/23] I can't think of a better accompaniment to your Type 20 than this! (Other than Minerva's, of course.) ...  

. . . and he was curious as to why because someone else had asked him recently as well! What were the odds? 🎲🎲

It’s a cool watch.

As this baby is earlier than Breitlings Navitimer. A Weems is after a Cartier Santos, but a Weems is maybe earlier with a complication for the pilot. I do not how it works to time with the inner dial.

Yes that are interesting wrist pocket watches. I remember the blueprint dial Zenith pilot. As i seen there is another forum member who show us his Zenith pilot.

...  

Eastern wisdom. Rest and balance.

I think you have made a fantastic catch. All the best Thomas

...  

I love this place and your wrist shot takes me back there. Well played !

Great shot enjoythemusic!! Hagwe, Abel

. . . is just across Pacific Coast Highway . . . . . . from Kanvas by Katin. 🏄🏻‍♂️ ...  

And a pic during my misspent youth. ...  

. . . this was coming. 🌊

Angular Momentum Polyphemos ...  

This is an incredible watch l, one that really gets me every time you share it with us. Superb !

But it deserves fresh air

I just love the strength of the design.

Love it!! Can’t avoid imagining this is the watch that Captain Nemo would choose to wear aboard his Nautilus. Fantastic timepiece!! Hagwe Abel

Love it . True steampunk design

Just love this crazy watch. Every time you share I instantly take to Chrono24 and elsewhere to see what else Angular Momentum made and is on offer. Yours by far is the one if I were to ever do one. Thanks so much for sharing!👏

If you look out for the Polyphemos you will see that there are slight differences not only in size (50 or 46 mm diameter), with rivets or without etc

...  

That’s a superb GMT-Master catching the rays Bill.

...  

… fast and loud! Lovely watch! Look how its dial has patinated with passing time… Sublime! Great shots to share it with us! Have a nice and relaxed weekend!! Abel

HAGWE & Best !

Is the best way to start a weekend Cheers JML ...  

Any plans for Saturday and Sunday ?

...  

Both the beer & the watch Cheers JML

May I join you dear JML? Fantastic choices as usual. Guess you know my favorite!! 😉 Hagwe! Abel

. . . other than a bit of housework and checking into Wrist Scan . . . . . . periodically. ...  

. . . likely on account of all the rain and cold weather we've been experiencing in recent weeks. There was another on the ground just a few feet away. I left the bee in the photo because its colors matched the Omega's.

Wonderful patina.

or any other day.... I pick 'em so that the point in time is effectively rendered irrelevant ........ ...  

Wonderful car and only ten made. Your JLC looks very cool in this shot. I saw this one at Goodwood a few years ago… ...  

Truly drop-dead gorgeous. The article was written for the latest iteration of the Aston Martin Heritage Trust publication........

Superb shot to honor its beauty!! Cheers! Abel

… with this beauty InHavenPro!! Hagwe!! Abel

Cheers, Filip

… as you know I’m fond of changing watches daily but the weekends invite to make more changes e.g. a watch for the morning another for afternoon and may be another for the evening. I started Friday with a playful and full of color presence on my wrist: Sp...  

Though that colourful speedy stands out for me - has great patina too. Cheers JML

Cheers! Abel

Good choices Abel and the variety is truly what our passion for collecting watches is all about. The Aquanaut really is one of the most versatile watches ever produced by Patek in my opinion and you choice of strap shows just how versatile it really is. I... 

Regret my skin doesn´t bear rubber touch for very long and I need to search for other choices in my watches so equipped. Glad you liked the last BP shot. I liked to include two Aqua Lung instruments in one shot! Have a nice weekend dear friend, Abel

They really add context and vintage charm ti your photos.

We both enjoy collecting these wonderful things.

Most of the time sunny and hot with blue skies. Drought is a big problem here specially in country for the crops and cattle. We hope that the near Fall season will bring some much needed rains. I love bright sunny days but this has been too much for our C... 

Ah yes: Sunscreen is a must here! Lol! Cheers! Abel

I also can relate to your “temptations” to swap watches several times during a given WE !- No wonder, given the broadness of your watchboxes ! I had to smile about your colorful, a bit exuberant Flightmaster and again really enjoyed your pics of your - so... 

The Omega is indeed a colorful and exuberant timepiece in spite of its reduced size. It always makes me smile too. The Blancpain has been haunting my horological soul for years and always admired the one in your collection so much. I dreamed with it! It w... 

. . . 🥰 . . .

Have a nice weekend dear Art! Best, Abel

If I rember well I had one with a black dial. But it is long ago.

My choices for this weekend are these two HAGWE ...  

Wonderful colour.

Hello dear Watchonthewrist and thank you for your kind message. You have chosen two very different watches and both would be on my list for a perfect weekend combination. The location looks particularly good in your picture. Have a great weekend 🥂 Best re... 

... has been haunting my horological soul lately. I like it so much. Very nice background on your first shot. I keep wandering where you took this lovely shot of your MAD. Enjoy your weekend so much! Best, Abel

I like a nice read and a cigar to celebrate the weekend. But there is no weekend without a watch. ...  

Good to have you joining us this weekend. Chopard have a rich history making watches associated with racing and particularly historic sports car racing as for your Breguet its always a great choice. I have many happy memories of The Monaco Historic races ...  

A special sport hero in my youth. Thank you for hosting this great theme.

Mika was good to talk with and interesting racing stories from the past.

Two superb timepieces you share here. Both chronographs are wonderful and I have an special fondness for the Breguet ones. Nice shots to share them here. Enjoy your weekend so much! Best, Abel

Your weekend plan is great.

Your new Longines is not bad either, especially with this different straps.

Will be a pretty lazy weekend, with some nice strolling in the City, and also attending some theatre piay. So, alas - let me see what to choose.. This Railmaster CK 2914, one of my fav Vintage Omegas, for seeing some friends.. For me a pretty versatile ch...  

... a fondness for changing many watches during the weekend!! I specially love your choice of JLC Quantieme for the theater. Such a classic and elegant watch is a great choice indeed. Though your Breguet could be another superb alternative. Of course the ... 

Special thx for your positive remarks about the JLC Quantieme and the Breguet, as well. As we both appreciate, our Aquanauts are real GADA pieces and render much pleasure for both of us ! It is equally charming how similiar our tastes and selections are, ... 

... we own several same models/brands and even many of hose you own but I do not have in my collection are watches I have in my wish list. We are horological brother souls indeed! And that makes me enjoy so much viewing your pictures. I wish you are enjoy... 

Great selection for your weekend ! I love the vintage charm of your Railmaster CK 2914. Congratulations on getting your JLC Reverso green dial as it looks very nice.

For diving. For flying. For running. Happy weekend to everyone. ...  

I´m specially fond of Seiko diving watches. And though I´m not fond of modern "intelligent" watches I must admit their capabilities are awesome and practical. Guess I should pay a little attention to this type. Enjoy your weekend! Abel

... not accustomed to use new gadgets. I´m glad to know you enjoy biking with your son and can put this Garmin in good use. Keep enjoying so much my friend. Best, Abel

I always like the strong design details in a Seiko and the reliability. Your Glycine also looks very good and not one that we have seen before here. Thank you for joining us this weekend. Best regards Captain

I will be walking the snoopy this weekend... 🥂 ...  

Have a nice weekend my friend. Abel

The oem strap is too stiff and I custom 2 bluish tone gator straps to match the watch dial and bezel…turned out not too bad😉 have a good sunday!

Hello dear S.F, The Snoopy is a big favourite with me and your shot is excellent. You have inspired me to get this one out 😉 Best regards Captain ...  

Delugs, a strapmaker based in Singapore.

Just enjoy wearing this to hang out with people here and there🤝 i would describe it as my verison of "Skx"🍻 ...  

Thank you for joining is and sharing your Citizen Diver with us, it looks very cool. Have you had this one for long ? Best regards Captain

Actually my most recent acquisition for about 6 months, but already has developed a "connection" with it😁, your Hulk looks sharp as always🍻🥃

The Hulk is an interesting Rolex for sure. I like your second shot with the two watches together.

Glad that you like it🤝

Not always we view same watch in two different wrists! I´m very fond of Seiko diving watches: tough and reliable and with a lot of character in their designs. Have a nice weekend! Abel

Also think that photo is fun too, its nice to have friends who share similar taste. Could not argue that Japanese always use their soul to create something, their 3 hand dress watches (GS) are also alluring 🌝

Agree with your comments: always nice to share our passion for watches with friends with similar taste for them. And also that Japanese and Seiko makes some very fine watches. Specially in their GS line which are among my favorite. Best cordial regards, A... 

This Seiko is my favourite weekend watch. Very comfortable and reliable. I was early for the LE WPS H1, but this one has become lately my most frequently used watch. Power reserve is spartan, but I find it comfortable, elegant and understated. Enjoy the w...  

Hello J, I like the way that Seiko make good looking and easy to enjoy watches. As for your Hentschel, I like the shade of blue they used for this dial. Best regards Captain

I agree the Hentschel’s dial has a nice slate / blueish tone to it, depending on the light. Have a good week

Thank you and I hope you have a great week ahead.

...  

How are you enjoying this one ?

I love it! It’s got something special that sets it apart and yet has that Rolex familiarity. Just couldn’t be happier to get to own and wear it.

Good to hear your thoughts.

Go Wolves ...  

Nice shot of your Tudor Harrods Edition 👍

...  

Have a good weekend! ...  

Hello Ruffian, Good to see your very interesting selection of military watches. I particularly like your LeMania chronograph. Which is your personal favourite ?

Hello Capn , great theme this … weekend 🙂. For the weekend , usually mine are the more modest watches in my collection, either microbrands , or occasionally a tool like Sinn or a “ fun “ one like the Azimuth , or Visconti . And yes, plenty of Quartz too 😬...  

That’s quite a lineup you’re sharing with us on WristScan this weekend, excellent collection of watches for maximum weekend pleasure. Your Sinn is particularly cool. Best regards Captain

Usually try to keep it as casual and low key as possible on the weekend ( watches ) 🙂

No responsibility 😉

Great theme Sometimes I wear dress during the week Sometimes it is divers Sometimes Chronographs So the weekend watch - if any - is often something different Last week was a pure diver week (modern watch) so weekend watch for yesterdays dining out was a d...  

Looks like you are enjoying something tasty this weekend. Your classic Zenith looks very cool with your very stylish shirt, I love the combination. Best regards Captain

. . . a few weeks ago. No need to be out and about to wear gold - chillin' at home is occasion enough! ...  

First weekend in March and Spring is round the corner. Saturday I enjoyed a row followed by a few drinks to recover. Nice walk with the dog this morning and now about to get the roast going. My choice of watch? The same for every weekend since I acquired ...  

And your choice of the Tudor is definitely a good one. I noticed the name on the boat, did you ever read the book … ...  

Watched the film, years ago though.

Hope you enjoyed your weekend.

...  

This strap really gives a cool vintage feel.

...  

I love the texture.

The last two weekends were or are marked by two watches: Firstly there is my Moser Perpetual Purity, a watch that I appreciate and love immensely. On the one hand for its enchanting beauty and clarity, on the other hand for its complexity. The date change...  

Hello Thomas, Good to have you joining us again this weekend. Your choices would definitely be on my list of pleasures for any weekend. By coincidence I went for an Aquanaut today. Best regards Captain ...  

Change of watch and pace today with a relaxed Sunday lunch… ...  

Some hetic day on Sunday for me made me stay out of internet till very late due to some undexpected activity for a Sunday. Fortunately everything ok today. Have a nice week ahead my friend. Abel

Lunch was good 😊

Any Panerai always make for a perfect weekend watches! ...  

Always a good choice 👍 ...
