WristScan

Let’s call it a slightly late Midnight Singapore time but then even if the chronometer is METAS certified, if the meeting overruns... Free theme as announced earlier. Looking forward to many exciting pictures and wishing you all a fantastic weekend ahead!...  

.....a former love.......my HF (non-Observatory) ...  

Looks cool.

...  

. . . and your Hamilton isn't helping. ;-)

Great piece

No message body

Will definitely do so. So far just like I imagined it

...  

And two great shots, too

And the right time of the year is coming.

Matches perfectly the lume. Have a nice weekend Nicolas Stefan

...  

Great shot

For me, I'll go green, Green Lantern! HAGWE, CC ...  

But I haven’t seen him over here for ages?! Does anyone know where he is? Something wrong?

He’s become a myth.

Mr Greeeeen

. . . about this legendary Purist. And Hugh Jackman will star. Yours truly has a minor role in the script. They're casting Jon Lovitz, . . . . . . naturally. ...  

Not heard from him in a while...

And what a great Green Lantern shot

He better check his collection!

There will be an investigation.

. . . but now you need to add a vintage Omega to the collection. No pressure, K. Take your time. It's a broad field, and deep, too. I'll be wearing these . . . ['58 ref 2852 top, '43 ref 2242 middle, '40 ref 2099 bottom] . . . over the holiday weekend. Ar...  

I am glad to have finally fulfilled my end of the bargain. There may well be more modern and vintage Omegas in due course judging by my first And yours really are enticing! Have a great weekend!

. . . in honor of yours, K. Welcome to the club! ...  

. . . albeit one convincing enough to lure me into acquiring it. Notice how the hands line up correctly with the minute track. I'll have to check with a Geiger counter to be sure. Of the three, though, my personal favorite is the ref 2099. Those delicate ... 

Looks to be in great shape.

. . . I briefly entertained the idea of parting with this Connie. "Who needs two '58 cal 505s?", thought I. It took only two seconds after retrieving it from the safe deposit box to realize White Connie was here to stay. ;-)

...  

Big congrats 👍👏👏👏

I’m really loving it!

Congrats again, wear it in the best of health !

Hope you’re doing well Maybe Trieste this summer? As for the watch, looking forward to checking accuracy tomorrow

Getting harder each morning Will try and plan the holidays soon and let you know 👍🏻

...  

What year is this Reverso? Fantastic shot, btw.

Quite small by today’s standards but I wanted my first to be as near as possible to the original in size. Still love it and it’s an elegant dress watch.

...  

Such a rich blue.

The blue is truly sublime.

I've been experimenting with using some backdrops for pictures, and I tried with a few: A Seiko Worldtimer from 1964 A jumbo Doxa that arrived this week, which I bought for the delightful 'Creme Brulee' like patina And this one came back from servicing at...  

The watches to start with - hard for me to choose a favourite - and the pictures likewise. And thanks for the idea to source tiles

... Experiment with background materials and textures and it is another way to play and enjoy our watches! Hagwe! Abel

Hi All Wearing this for the commute this morning - seems appropriate as in preparation for the bank holiday it's pouring down. The only upside is a virtually empty train! Cheers JML ...  

Your Prospex will remain unfazed Have a great bank holiday, JML!

Had several already and the next one is the coming Thursday

A great comparison between new and old.... ...  

...  

. . . good un', Cap ;-) . . .

Both pieces are great and the contrast between the two is truly interesting!

Huge Congrats and wear it in best of health 🙏🏻 So if its a free theme i will go for my DB How i love these blue hands 👌🏻👍🏻 ...  

As you know I am a big fan I am very happy with the Railmaster so far and quite satisfied with the choice made. Have a great weekend!

HAGW 2u2 🙏🏻🤗

Now all I need is some rest

...sublime salmon dial. You know my soft spot for this one my friend 😉

From outside the office today: The road less travelled And attending / playing at a World Music festival at the weekend, so the Zodiac WT seems apropos: HAGWE all G. ...  

No message body

The dial has definitely been one of the main attractions optically. But the rest of the watch really gels, too

And to be seen fleetingly in Paris next week ;-)

I’m enjoying it a lot - regularly turning the bezel to UK / red hand alignment and seeing what other time it is around the globe. Seems India has had its half hour for 45+ years.

And it was great seeing both of them live. Looking forward to hearing more about the world music festival! Hagwe!

Pics of fest when I resurface ;-) Hope all is well again at home & an enjoyable weekend ensues! Cheers G. ...  

My sleep deprived brain playing tricks on me

Looks great and a super photo!

I owed it to Nilo to get one and finally decided on this one. Certainly not a resale value decision as it is a regular production piece without historical roots but then it really appealed to me and it sits nicely on the wrist

...  

and the Vintage 45 is a shared love.

The 45 has a lot of love here!

It's a beauty.

And hoping for a return as well Two great GP chronographs there, Padj!

And my sentiments as well.

It's number 2 of a LE of 8 pieces, that I was trying on at the Van Cleef boutique in Milan earlier this week. Hope you'll enjoy it too! ...  

Here’s crossing fingers that it soon will be yours

...  

And a great picture to boot! Have been looking at this one as well when making my choice but then again the first Omega will most certainly not be the only one

No wonder, you like that spell .. Cheers ! hs

Maybe not the conventional choice but I like it irrespective Have a great weekend!

... our Independence Day on Friday 25th so it’s fitting a freedom theme for us! We are having a long week end here so I have chosen several watches to enjoy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Including a vintage Gigandet chrono similar to that shown by Stefa...  

And the others ain't bad either!

. . . and after a brief search, discovered a link - tenuous, admittedly - to Breitling and Wakmann. Fascinating stuff, but as you probably guessed, my heart belongs to your Seamaster. ;-) Felicitations on Argentina's Independence Day, Abel - it's Memorial... 

Don’t think I will manage Indy but if I get a couple of rounds on GTS I will be happy already

. . . than watching the greatest spectacle in racing ;-) . . . ...  

. . . there's only one Maggie ;-) . . .

. . . in So Cal. Attended the first four California 500 races at Ontario Motor Speedway between '70 and '73. That first race was the last time a front-engine Offy won. Didn't know it at the time, of course, but Jim McElreath's victory over Art Pollard was... 

Definitely jealous...

though I only had chance to reach them through car magazine photos and newspaper news! Glad you were able to enjoy that gone era! All the best! Abel

. . . you'll see a '65 Dodge Dart front and center, with a British sports car to its right. I'll bet that's ours!

But I hear you, Art

... Had connections with Breitling and Walkman and even with Swiss Army brand, The present Gigandet watches have movements from Seiko and Miyota and of course they have nothing in connection with the original brand. Yes, I imagine the Seamaster would be y... 

... And as a matter of fact I was expecting you, Blomman or other experts here could throw some light on it. I promise a new post showing this watch this week end ! Abrazos mi amigo! Buen fin de semana! Abel

It is really nice and the dial has a bit more contrast than mine. The blue strap on the Omega is s fantastic match. I can’t remember having seen such a textile strap. Last but not least: congratulations on Independence Day! Best Stefan

... Straps of the Omega are made by Morelatto of Italy which is the only quality brand which we can find here in my land. It' s some kind of nylon canvas with leather lining. Very nice, sporty and comfortable. Thank you for your congrats on our National D... 

Have a nice weekend Stefan

Looking like a truly fantastic weekend is ahead of you First of all I hope you have a great celebration of your Independence Day! And with watches like these how could you not? And thanks for the kind words - I think Omega really nailed it with this one.

Agree that Omega did a great job with their new versions of their classic watch! My best wishes for you too! Cheers! Abel

... Worn it with the original Oyster which I changed for these straps same day I bought this watch. I guess some day I will have to try the Oyster! Lol! Hagwe! Abel

.. and I also like your (70ies styles ?) Omega Chronos. For the Millgauss GV we are brothers in arms, as I also appreciate mine !! Best, hs

... of course we share the love for the LV Milgauss!! Thank you for viewing and kind commenting!! Hagwe my friend!! Abel

I hope Blomman has something on that one! Un abrazo, Nicolas

... let’s see if my watchmaker can safely open it!! Cheers! Abel

...and Happy Independance Day ! 🍾🥂

Love the details on this aged dial, which probably used to be black when new. This is a 1958 Jean Richard Aquastar. Have a nice weekend Stefan ...  

Did not know that JR went that far back... Great shots!

When I acquired the watch , l learned the following (text from Mathis time) When Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh descended in the submarine Trieste to the 10.000 meter/35.000 ft depth at the Mariana Trench in 1960 they had a Rolex strapped to the outside of...  

. . . with vintage Jean Richard, which is an even bigger surprise as I was aware of JR but thought of them as a relatively recent brand tied to G-P. This has been an instructive session of Wrist Scan! Art

... Collection and view them in my watch box! Cheers! Abel

One of the most hideous iterations IMO. Looks like a carnival watch. But the price tag is actually quite steep! Now on a more serious note; the Rolex newbies: The waiting game has begun... ...  

That jubilee bracelet felt way to comfortable on the wrist to ignore

but is that first one legit?

Sinful.

And I hope the wait is short and pain free. Have a great weekend!

. . . an orange guitar? (Hollywood Bowl, Wednesday night.) Diamonds, indeed ;-) . . .

Memovoxes are a key focus of my stable, as many here may know.. Thus this time a JLC weekend: A Static bunch of MMVs: Middle: From left: E855 black & 855 white, E 875 blue/blue, white/ blue & all white; Far Right: E 861 Top (cross lies) : LC 3072, E 872; ...  

..how this came into existence . Many thanks also for the always so positive encouragements, in addition to guard the Framboise !.. LoLoL !! Best, dear Nico to you & your lovely family ! hs.

... on the wrist! Hagwe my friend! Abel

The collection in one shot, almost sinful Have a great weekend!

. . . Memovox collection, my attention is on Mrs h's simple time-only. My kinda watch, to a 't' . . .

1. Most recent acquisition, IMO the best watch of 2017: 2. A fun watch that also arrived until this year: Two completely different pieces that show my love for independents and their efforts. Have a great weekend! ...  

The Chaykin is so cool.

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thanks!

Both very different as you say but perfectly displaying the creativity of independent watchmaking! Have a great weekend!

Thanks 🙏🏼

The FPJ is such a amazing watch . I would love to own one in the near future 🙏🏻. And the Joker is a very cool watch , cant wait to get mine later this year . Thanks for sharing 🤗

Congratulations in advance!

Was to late with the steel version so when they came with the Titanium one i pulled the trigger . Now the long wait 😬

Really looking forward to seeing your pictures

Its that long wait now😔

This will be a perfect occasion for celebration 🍾🥂

Hope to get the mail within a few months so i can plan a pickup at the factory . Would be cool to visit it .

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I may be too late but as I'm waiting for the Monaco F1 Grand Prix, here are wrist and static shots of a watch in the service of charity. Regards, MTF ...  

The lyre shaped lugs and the notes around the minute track - always liked the details of this one. Reminding me - Monaco GP!

♪ Shaped lugs.... Regards, MTF

In the eye of the beholder I guess but you are right of course

😘
