WristScan for the 6th of July - Travel Time - starts now!
As mentioned in the earlier thread, this week’s WS theme is Travel Time. So any kind of watch you regularly travel with, for work, for fun... Be it a world timer, GMT, diver or elegant two hand dress piece. So let’s see what one will be able to see at the...
Only one legit travel watch in my collection . . .
. . . but not much of a traveler. Unless there's a Purists gathering or a Stones show, of course - then I'm all in! Art ...
Now that’s a truly fantastic one!
Definitely an Omega high on my to get list. Any watch with a DC-8 on the back is cool
Truly obscure trivia: . . .
. . . It's Only Rock 'n Roll (but I like it) is the only Stones studio track that Charlie doesn't play on. Kenny Jones handled percussion. Stoned, Art
A good portion of . . .
. . . Exile on Main Street has never been performed live by the Stones. Soul Survivor , Casino Boogie , and most depressingly, I Just Want to See His Face , have never been performed on stage. Mick Taylor had a hand in all of them, so it's not likely they...
Your watch can be a superb travel watch dear Art: tough, accurate and reliable ... And it is an Omega! ;) I wouldn't doubt to take it...
... In a travel trip anywhere! Have a nice week end my friend! Abel
Ok, here we are...
Rolex GMT MASTERS: Patek World Time 5110P: Ulysse Nardin Sonata, yes, yes, it is also a GMT watch! And now, in my dreams: Jaeger Lecoultre Duometre UTT: Or / and Geophysic Universal Time: Girard Perregaux WW TC: Audemars Piguet Metropolis: Well... The lis...
Wow!
Didn’t know you owned a platinum Metropolis - truly thoroughly superb! Not that any of the others are anything than great Happy travels!
You know!
Just unfair. You're trying to beat Joe before he even doesn't enter. Put those watches back in the box!
Ahh Nicolas! A Superb post! A fabulous way of celebrating your 170K record my friend! Congrats!...
... I knew these superb watches were coming from you! All in fabulous pictures!! No doubt are some winners here!! All inspiring shots! Hagwe my dear friend! Abrazos desde las Pampas! Abel
Don’t shoot me
This is probably my worst entry ever. But it’s true, when I travel, this Apple ‘Wrist Device’, is what I am wearing and my watch is in my bag. I find it very usable and fun to use, it even hold my boarding cards. Have a great weekend gents and don’t kick ...
No watches on your other wrist, either?
Can certainly understand the practicality aspect, plus it makes one less conspicuous, too
Your Seiko is such a fine watch.
I love that dial. And that's a pretty cool MB. Hadn't seen it before.
Thanks a lot, Padj!
It is indeed - was my grail GS, and the love is certainly not diminished since I got it
Where’s the mule picture?
The watch is great, as are the Swedish stones but what I really want to see is the watch worn on top of a mule
I wasn't actually looking for a mule.
But if I was then your mule would do just fine.
This is almost an instant win in the static category :)
And an honorable mention for finding it
Wow dear Padj! What a beauty! PP makes the best WT watches! This beauty you show is an ideal travel watch for sure! No matter...
... How you travel: plane, train, car... Or mule! Enjoy it so much my friend and Hagwe! Abel
Well.. Let me see, how to play this week..
Ok, so here are some few: GP GMT, Gde Date, Moonphase - a great cool companion The Reverso GMT is a versatile choice I often take with me.. JLC Geophysic Universal Time - a superb World Time but almost a bit too fancy.. & this one just is a real GADA ...
Superb travel collection, HS111!
And great pictures of it too. Cannot agree more on the GADA nature of the ABR, too.
Thanks a lot, HS!
Holidays just about to begin tomorrow and both my wife and I really need them
Not seen that GP GMT before - very nice!
And both JLC’s are top travel watches too. Best, Giles.
Great post dear friend HS! The only problem with your selection of travel watches is...
... How you do to chose just one of them to wear on the wrist when you actually go traveling! Any of them is most suitable and attractive. A tough choice to make... Unless you take a watch roll with you! Lol! Have a beautiful week end my friend! Abel
Thx for kind looking, dear Abel !.. Well, in fact normally I always take 3-4 watches with me !
.. Only when it’s just 1 day, just One gets the nod : Mostly the Batman Rolex GMT, or the GP Gde Date, GMT, Moonphase. Best, hs
Always my pleasure to view your posts my dear friend! All the watches you mention make fantastic travel watches. And carrying several is the most...
... Enjoyable solution to the dilemma of which to wear ina trip. Keep enjoying my friend! All the best! Abel
Owning only a single Travel Time watch...
.. but I also kinda need only one as it can dress down or up (not as good though), can handle every kind of weather fairly well and can keep time quite accurately. So no surprise that that my trusty 5164A did a good job during a leisure trip throughout Ja...
Second one in a row...
But then again it would make for a fine travel companion, so no surprises here Great baseball game shot, too!

1 old and 1 new travel watch, plus a few that came along for the ride.... Favourite ferry journey to.... Maroc: Karnataka: Paris: Memories du Mali: Today from the beach: This one still has some traveling to do.... And those that came along for the ride......
Very true, my friend.
I also like this “Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” By Ibn Battuta - a 15C traveller from Tangier. Worth checking out esp a travelogue by a more modern follower in his footsteps ‘Travels with a Tangerine’ Cheers, Gi...
Spectacular travelogue.
You know, there's something about that first Zodiac that seems so appropriate for traveling in Afrique. It has an aura about it, and it looked perfect in your Morocco shots. To me it was made for that trip; that or for doing naughty things in the Bay Area...
