WristScan

As every hunter worth their weight in stuffed boar will know, starting early is essential to hunting success 😉 The theme for the WS this week, as announced, is hunting. I believe most of you will have stories of prolonged stalking of a specific ‚prey‘, of...  

... We usually say that every watch in our collection has an story behind and you demonstrate here that this is absolutely true. The hunting and capture experiences of certain pieces are specially thrilling as you tell us here. I´m sure we will be viewing... 

And definitely looking forward to your stories 👍🏻

I just posted this one and the story behind: The 6542 is another one which took me a loooong time before getting it. There are some others which have a special story, such as this one, which I bought in 2008 or 2009, Which I traded in order to get that on...  

There are great hunting stories here, Nico! And the pictures are great as always 👌🏻

But the DSA is without a doubt my favorite. WOW 🤩

I think you can remove impossible 😉

They are impossible to find. I have been looking for some years now.

Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I Will definitely keep looking. One day it must happen.

The Minerva with its classic beauty and movement, the Doxa I completely understand, what collection would be complete without one to rely on and finally your superb Vacheron 1972 Prestige de la France, simply gorgeous ! Good hunting for your next piece 🥂 ... 

The list remains long, as usually, so there will be many a hunt to come 😊

This subject immediately makes me think of the ones that got away !... I can however share some of the ones that I stalked and then bagged over the years... The Hublot “All Black” produced less than 250 as Hublot had difficulties with production at the st...  

Especially like the Navitimer - here goes me thinking beads of rice were for bracelets only 😉 Thanks for joining 👍🏻

I have some other great ones to share with you one day 😉

Amazing dial and patina on your navitimer 👌

I’ve had it for over ten years, my personal patina is almost as good ;-)) ... Hope that you are having a great weekend. Kind regards The Captain

Stuck at work procrastinating a bit 😉 Best C

... for our collections is a big part of the fun of our “sport”! Patience and perseverance are needed to bag a Big Game trophy as those you show. And an steady hand to oull the trigger when the right moment arrives of course!! Hagwe! Abel

About two weeks to go till the next catch and then there’s another in December 😉

... stories to tell but wouldn´t like to bore my friends with all of them. I will show three watches which are among my most beloved ones: First my Panerai 587 Marina Militare a watch which was not very easy to find in 2014, the year it was unveiled. I wa...

Really looking forward to seeing your Flightmaster finally on your wrist! Art seems to be behind stories with so many of us - and always in a great way 😊 Thanks for sharing your stories and the great pictures 👍🏻

I will post my own pictures as soon as it arrives. Cheers! Abel

All very different but a happy ending for all of them. Congratulations 🥂

... say that even the best of hunters sometimes miss their targets ... and I’m not exception! You know : the only thing a collector regrets are those pieces he missed catching! Lol! Cheers! Abel

Not Normally my thing, but is has a very captivating “something” about it. Very cool Flightmaster. It is really a special and interesting design that I like a lot.

... gold watches myself. But this Moonshine edition was really something!! It didn’t let me sleep till I was assured that one was asigned to me. The Flightmaster is truly a cool watch. I feel collectors still don’t pay this model the attention it deserves... 

And especially your collaboration with that Bond villain!

but this one was especially hard to get, because of that specific version of the dial and especially the bracelet. Best Andreas ...  

Your Lange looks superb, it’s a strong look on the bracelet and seldom seen on WristScan. Thanks for joining us this weekend.

This watch is well worth the wait and I´m sure you are enjoying and loving so much. All the best, Abel.

And right you are, very, very rarely seen 👍🏻

sometimes its a waiting game Saw this in London a few years ago and went to try it on, but it was one where I wanted to think about it. I was due to go down again in a few weeks and had the idea, that if it wasn't sold I'd get it. sometimes a watch choose...  

And clearly meant for you 👍🏻

It’s funny how this happens sometimes. Looks good on your wrist 👌

I envy you. This is a superb catch. I always loved this watch

It's so good I've been able to resist any other Memovoxes so far. Cheers JML

... the watch that chooses us !! They just wait for the guy they wish to belong. In any case hunting and collecting require a big dose of waiting, patience and perseverance to find and catch our trophies. Beautiful watch! Hagwe my friend! Abel

. . . half a dozen times by now. The short version is: found on Craigslist early one January morning three years ago, and acquired three days later . . . . . . after meeting the original owner in a bank lobby. Four hundred miles away in Glendale, Arizona ...  

The Flightmaster story is so you, Art 👍🏻 Btw. if you happen to spot another Flightmaster... 🤞🏻

... I missed that post! I’m happy to read it now! Art is a great Hunter... and a great gentleman and friend!! Thank you for sharing dear KM!! Abel

Art, as so often, is the hero 😊

Calling in Abel made this a precision strike.... Abel, (licensed to kill) 007 ;-))

... all the merits go to Art! Cheers! Abel

. . . really goes to you, Abel. I was just the spotter and beater ;-) . . .

I especially love the colors in the design. Almost a modernist painting. A very cool piece for the knowledgeable collector 👌

. . . for its era. There's really nothing like it from its place and time during the late '60s. Art

I think it will keep grow in popularity. It is such a significant and great design.

. . . is a gun. Politics . . . . . . is knowing when to pull the trigger." The same lesson applies to watch hunting ;-) . . .

... Master of Flightmasters Hunter!! You bagged two great trophys for sure!! I can’t thank you enough for my FM !! Hagwe my friend! Abel

. . . a 911. Not in perfect shape, but not bad, either. And yellow hands! If anyone's interested, give me a holler. ;-)

PAM140 - Got stuck in my head big time when I saw one during a gtg. Not many going around, took some time to find one. GMTM1675 PCG gilt chapter ring. A lot of patience required and many anxious moments when looking for one. ...  

And the pictures to match 😊

Locating a good one would be a major hunting trip for any of us. It’s a great watch to bag SF 👌
