WristScan

Hello dear friends ! I have the great pleasure of hosting our WristScan theme “Style Icons” is now live ! Our theme is all about our stylish watches that for many have become iconic. Sometimes this can be the trigger that connects us with a watch and add ...  

Just to start us off for this edition of WristScan, I’m posting a couple of Style Icons … Buzz Aldrin, what more do I need to say … Johnny Hallyday, was a French rock and roll and pop singer and actor, credited for having brought rock and roll to France… ...  

...  

Your first photo is an excellent example of two iconic legends, I really like the photo. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend. Best regards Captain

For styles and icon this week ...  

Peter produced some iconic watches and yours looks superb. Thank you for joining us this weekend.

Early PSM are really something.

Beautiful.

Top of my list is Steve. While i am not influenced by style icons, Steve is from a category out of space. I think he was cool and funny too. The stories about his watches and girlfriends are mind boggling. The drive carefully inscription is legendary. The... 

I fully expect Bill to go for the Gold wearing 3 ploprofs on each arm but here's my modest attempt at honouring the master, doxa sub300 50th on shark mesh: ...  

I always love a good Doxa being shown on WristScan and yours looks very cool over a shirt. Thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend.

...  

and that’s an excellent shot for our Static Shot category. Have you had this Sub for long in your collection ? Well played and thank you for joining us on WristScan.

It’s the Sub’s big brother, the 126600. I bought it in 2017.

How did I miss that special touch of red !

… my favorite Bond. Nice shot you share here your Sub and white tux a Bond signature. Well played! Hagwe! Abel

Connery is legend. My watch is the 50th Anniv. Sea Dweller, but close enough, especially when paired with the Bond NATO!🍸

The “red” SD is an awesome timepiece. Of course the Submariner/SD family can be associated with Bond. Never seen this particular model in other thing than the original Oyster (I also own this watch) but I feel the Bond Nato is a very interesting option to... 

...  

But here are some watch shots in between 😁 And for the crazy finale 😂😂😂 ...  

We must be able to match that beautiful watch to someone 🤔

… dear friend KM!! You always share wonderful straps combos matching your well chosen clothes textiles. Fantastic!! All beautiful watches as usual. Your VC is a signature watch and I have said before how much I love that stunning dialed Raketa. And your C... 

For me, the Habring2, the Seamaster and the lovely VC plus the Mings’ straps, pls ! Best, hs

...  

From an Iconic jewellery dynasty. Fabulous !

Great shot as usual! Hagwe! Abel

I’m looking forward to seeing your style icons

… my style icons just a minutes ago. I wish you’ll approve! Cheers! Abel

Still in a perfect condition

The new Cartier Tank Must XL Tank Americaine XL GP Vintage ...  

Hits the spot, definitely an Iconic design.

the Tank Americaine. Gave it to my wife years ago.

Great examples you bring here dear Brauner. I’m specially fond of the Tank Americaine. Awesome third shot!! Love it!! Hagwe! Abel

...  

Enjoy your stay in Venice so much!! What a wonderful place! Hagwe! Abel

That’s style !

… bringing some noted style icons who inspire us. Here is my entry beginning with L’Avvocato Gianni Agnelli and his particular and well known custom of wearing his watches and his flair for choosing his outfits: My watch inspired by this recognized icon: ...  

Not only my Hero but also inspires me to wear more than one watch at same time!! (I confess I often wear a watch on each wrist though never openly) Cheers! Abel ...  

You know my feelings for the Moonshine … Pure joy !! ...  

He was so cool in The Great Escape.

I seen Papillon many times. But i wil not ignore Dustin Hofman’s great play. I set Papillon in my top 10 movies.

Un abrazo fuerte amigo mio! Abel

Excellent collection

Glad you like my selection! Hagwe!! Abel

The Rolex 5512 is a knockout ! Well played Abel !!

Glad you like that old Sub. Not in the best shape outside but its movement keeps working … as a Rolex! In spite of its 61 years of hard work. Hagwe my dear friend! Abel

...  

Rare to see this watch and I think it could possibly be the first time on WristScan. Thanks for sharing it with us on WristScan.

Thank you so much for your participation and for bringing it here and share with us your nice example! Cheers and Hagwe! Abel

... through a friend of mine. The original owner bought it in Cayman Islands in 1978 brand new then in a well known Jewelry store (though the watch was made circa 1971). The watch was in almost unworn condition when I bought it and I keep it in same condi... 

Best again,

Here a few watches that i think are really ,,independent,, icons Hagwe 🙏🏻🤗 ...  

The VH is a wonderful watch. Well played Watchonthewrist. I hope you have a great weekend.

I’m specially fond of the VH though I would be very happy with any of the three on my wrist. 😉 Keep enjoying them so much my friend! Hagwe!! Abel

this is very iconic

Growing up in the 90’s, his character in 007 was filled with flamboyance, working with women sidekicks, and style. I admired my dad too. He was a sportsman, who wore a two-tone Omega Seamaster 200. The watch is not in a good condition anymore, and I have ...  

Lighter I bought earlier this year. I was just fixing shoes at the cobbler and noticed he sold this Zippo 007 too. I’m very happy with the trimetal. Will try to put it on a rubber strap in a couple of days time. Have a good day Nico.

Surprisingly the piece is very light. I just took the bracelet off, and swapped it for the rubber strap for a swim.=D ...  

Congratulations on getting this Omega with all the memories that it brings with it. I like the watch and it definitely reminds me of the Brosnan style. The lighter looks interesting. Best regards Captain

Whenever I see your post, a song sticks in my head “No Limits”. That tune is impossible to forget.

.... how the Omega Seamaster came to be the "official" timepiece of James Bond. I was very touched with your reference to your Dad. I can fully understand your feelings and it is so nice you keep those memories of him and his favorite watch. You did well ... 

Yes, I will wear it often, in good and bad times too. They represent more than time or luxury, but concentrated totems of emotions and moments which cannot come back.

Would like to share such memories.

Thanks Brauner. How was your weekend? Mine was quite uneventful and boring - lockdown and curfews here.

Not for watches but for business reasons. I hope there will be some time for watches. On my way back I will go to Bvlgari in Neuemburg to take a watch to service. I think not that boring🥴

Have a great day Brauner.=D

............ "Karl". Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402 A-12xx Cheers, HSTE ...  

Definitely a winner here 🤗

“Karl" and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Definitely an Iconic duo.

... enjoying so much. Well played! Have a nice weekend my friend. Abel

The uber cool Santos de Cartier! ...  

The original Dandy aviator watch is the Santos

... among the first wristwatches and first worn by a pilot. Nice shots and interesting prop in the background makes that bike made with old ball bearings I guess. Have a nice week end! Best, Abel

in a little workshop in an alley off an alley in a small town in Thailand. A great theme this week btw!

Very interesting. Glad you like the theme brought by our host Captain Scarlet. Agree it’s a great Theme! Cheers!

and certainly an iconic design from Cartier. Have a great weekend !

...  

or are perhaps the threads mixed up? ...  

i've hardly worn my business shirts this past 1.5 year and even when i have to return to the office, it's the polo-t. with this theme, at least they have the opportunity to be photographed ...  

This classic Omega Bullhead definitely qualifies. The world has changed with the demise of very formal clothing in offices. Come to think of it …who needs an office 😬 Have a great weekend !

so true... my office has actually done away with formal business attire, except when there're important meetings enjoy the rest of the weekend!

... and probably everything will change in the near future in the way we will work. I wonder if the brown dial of your Omega was originally brown or it is a "tropical" change as it happens with vintage Speedmasters? In any case a very special model from o... 

my knowledge in Omega is very limited, but i believe the dial is originally brown in colour. enjoy the rest of the weekend!

i have changed the strap on this watch to a modern one and will post some pictures next time

...  

... is a wonderful example. Thank you for your participation and send my cordial regards, Abel

Always iconic and stylish. Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan this weekend.

. . . in the classical meaning of the term. Been a t-shirt 'n Lees kinda guy ever since I can remember. When I retired years ago, my suits were retired to the rubbish bin. So while I don't have a style icon in the classical sense of the term, there is one...  

... model and it has the added bonus for me of being introduced in my birth year. Love the Hamilton movement on your RGM 222! And of course absolutely agree that Charlie is a gennuine style icon. Have a nice week end my dear friend! A big hug for you! Abe... 

You have your own style and in my opinion that’s a good thing in life. Interesting to hear about Steve G and his influence on your collection. The Longines 30CH is certainly a special watch. The Omega 1894 is a stunning watch. Best regards Cap

. . . the predilection for Glashütte Original. But on a subliminal level, chronometry was the more compelling attraction. That's why I credit Steve G with having considerable influence on my collection: his site wove together a whole cloth from strands th... 

on the more contemporary side. Got my A_Cold_Wall overshirt, shorts and Nike AirForce 1 x A_Cold_Wall trainers... keeping my old school Ipod Classic in its specially designed pocket for tunes... what else but a space age Ventura V-Matic to complete the fi...  

Hi John, I see you are going for an urban style with an iconic iPod in your pocket. The Ventura V-Matic completes the look perfectly. Who influenced your look ? Best Captain

Many classic watches and landmarks have thrived the test of time and become iconic and almost instantly recognisable even by the laymen. I chose the following favourites for your Sunday viewing pleasure Enjoy! Best, Wayne Iconic watch against the most ico...

Some might say … Iconic ! Best regards Captain

and they are very hard to please 😉

… so much to add a splash of color to a formal watch like a Cartier and other brands. Have a great Sunday!!

This black Santos - a future icon? ...  

Pretty late, but maybe not too late.. Have a good remaining Sunday and a great upcoming week ! LC 3072.. A true child & icon of the 70ies All time classic TT Geophysic The Polaris to me is an iconic beast Rolex 6542.. A rather early GMT Master Two god...  

Enjoy your Sunday and have a nice week ahead my friend. Cheers! Abel

Excellent choices and many are iconic. Best regards Captain

Stingray strap works well with its 70's funkiness. Style icon for sure!
