You too Abel!
I loved the photo of your Omega with the family bible. The timeless presence of real books - and in particular family bibles - allows for connection across time and generations that e-readers will never replace.

Books and Authors Wrist Scan is now closed . . .
. . . with yours truly working on judgements presently. Thanks to all who participated; I hope we've all learned a little from one another. Art ...
Wrist Shot honors were a bit strained this month . . .
. . . as there weren't that many that adhered to the theme. Wrist shots aplenty, but not with books in the background. Kurt posted this reverse wrist shot of his Rolex . . . . . . Cap shared his Speedy taking in a speed theme . . . . . . Abel got into the...
The book is well worn. Once again I am thrilled and humbled to be in such esteemed company.
Thank you Dr! And I wish everyone here Happy Grilling and Bon Appétit!
Judging Static Photo, on the other hand, was . . .
. . . a major strain. So many candidates to consider; here are most of them. Mary Anny's Rolex . . . . . . Cap's Big Three icons . . . . . . K's sophisticated yet subtle UG . . . . . . jml's Genève flanked by incomprehensible text(!) . . . . . . followed ...

Several interesting candidates in our new Classic Category . . .
. . . starting with Cap's Bulova . . . . . . K's UG . . . . . . and Minerva (movement is vintage even if the watch isn't) . . . . . . jml's ca '66 Genève . . . . . . Abel's Rolexes . . . . . . and NOS Omega Constellation . . . . . . and Greg's Croton. Thi...
Thank you Art ! …
The “Classic” category came up with some really interesting timepieces for this edition. Congratulations to Abel and JML.
Thanks for the place & congratulations to all the other winners
As for the text in the background, it's a phylogenetic tree for wagtails - and I don't understand either! Cheers & thanks to everyone for a great Wristscan JML
Watch of the Month seemed the most difficult category . . .
. . . to judge. Several personally compelling entries such as Myles' Planet Ocean chrono . . . . . . and Goodfellow's Ploprof . . . . . . enjoythemusic's uncommon CW . . . . . . K's Chopard technical tour de force . . . . . . Watchslvr's refreshing NOMOS ...
