Been a good year!
Two acquired, none let go. The most recent this afternoon as my good lady had an unexpected phone call this week after 8 months wait!
Love the fact she chose the OP as her own choice. Such a classic watch IMO. BBB my addition this year is an unexpected gem and stalwart Explorer 2 and classic Seiko chronograph.
All the very best to you all.
Cheers 🍻 Kurt.

WristScan “2022 In Review” Now Live ! …
Hello dear friends ! This weekend starting on Friday, our theme for WristScan is all about the watches that entered our collections and some that possibly left during 2022. Feel free to include any accessories that also joined your collections. Hopefully,...
Hello dear Captain! Exciting Theme! It´s interesting to make a balance of our own horological year and also to know how 2022 was for our friends here.
Hopefuly 2022 has been a very prosperous year for everyone here and allowed the arrival of some pieces kept in our respective wish lists. I will return later with my entry and will also share the one which went to a very nice new home. I wish we will be e...
Year of consolidation
It’s been a busy year; In my parting act for 2022, I recently did a 3 for 1 swap. And am quite pleased with the result Below is an account of what went out and what came in Look forward to hearing about everyone else’s 2022 journey ! Thanks Friends, for r...
Interesting “out” selection ….
It must have been a difficult decision to trade the Omega Seamaster and the other three.
It was
Difficult to part with the 2254, although I still have one Seamaster left in rotation, the blue aqua terra which is a very versatile daily
The BB58 blue
Was also charming and difficult to part with, however I still have the Sub to scratch that itch! It was easy to move the RG JLC when I knew the 1815 is it’s replacement 😎
Consolidation…
Is a skill I have yet to develop 😉 But knowing what is going in on your end I definitely understand your choice 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
For my rotation, I am left with Sub, Aqua Terra and Lange! My tantalizing trio 😂
Huge congratulations on your incomings 🎉🎊🎈
The Lange is sublime of course but the Seamaster also has a very appealing understated element to it 👌🏻👍🏻
Festive shots 🎅…
I see a space still available… what could be on your list fir 2023 ?
Let this one go …
Really enjoyed this Rolex for a while, but decided to let someone else. Was not the size as I like and can wear larger watches (like the Panerai 127 I own now), but the weight was getting to be a bit much. Looking to replace with Pepsi model. ...
Interesting to know your thoughts on this watch Ted. I bought one of them a little after it was announced (black dial) and never could really fall in love with it. I presented it to my son (it still had the plastic stickers on!) for his...
... birthday. A few years after that, I was offered a Cameron version and I decided to give it another opportunity as I fell in love with it. I´m happy I did. The dial is fantastic and I think that when we really fall in love with the watch we can bear it...
I love the dial …
But I feel that full titanium was the way to go, as its a better option for a superlative dive watch of this size.
Looks like you had a very productive hunting this year dear friend KM! The Laine is such a gorgeous watch! Same for the WPS Hentschel of course.
All beautiful timepieces which I´m sure you are giving you much pleasure to wear on your wrist. Hagwe, Abel
It’s been a weird year…
And not just watch wise 😉 All the additions came in the first half and to be honest I had a bit of ‘horofatigue’ for the rest of the year. Not even sure if there’s anything tugging at my heartstrings sufficiently for me to go for it in 2023 🤷🏻♂️ One inde...
Horofatigue …
It’s definitely something that we all get from time to time as our collection reaches a certain point.
Hello, dear KM !.. Lovely line–up here, whereby the Hentschel, of course the Laine and that „made–to–measure Habring2 are my favs !!.. My Chapeau on these !
Continue to enjoy all of them in the Best of your health ! Happy Festive Season & all the Best ! hs.
I really like your choices…
I’ve always believed that variety in a watch collection is important. The Laine is a watch that I would like to add one day.
F@#!K
Is my expression after typing this up on my phone and accidently dragging my hand and resetting the page This was a great year. When I started learning about horology (apx 2008), one of the first watches I was drawn to were Montblanc Minerva (collection V...
Hello Teutonic!! You had a breathtaking watch hunting journey…
… along 2022! The two MB chronograph are marvelous pieces. You did well not letting pass the opportunity of getting these covered watches. The Prosi Ceramic GMt is a watch I love and which I also got past year after a long long hunt. And the Captain Cook ...
Your Minerva additions are sublime…
Probably the two favorites of mine 👌🏻🙌🏻 The GMT and Cpt Cook are fantastic pieces, too - congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Interesting journey TeutonicCarFan …
The collecting journey is the part I really enjoy and hearing about your experiences in 2022 will strike a chord with many of us here. As for the LF leaving your collection, we have to have a certain bond with a watch, if it doesn’t happen you just don’t ...
Hola aWtchslvr! Great shot to share your catch …
… for this year! A sturdy watch ready for any job which will bring you much satisfaction and pleasure on your wrist. Buen fin de semana amigo! Cheers! Abel
Always an interesting moment adding a G-Shock 🦾
Very unique and in many ways huge fun 👌🏻
I think it is a good option
for moments like summer holidays. Resistant and without risk of theft. Cheers.
Sublime addition to your collection Fram!!
An exquisite WT by Patek which always makes the Kings of World Timer watches!! Enjoy and love it so much!! Hagwe! Abel
What an exceptional piece …
Congratulations on adding this one to your collection 👏👏👏
Hello dear Captain and friends!! I join the event with …
… some of the few pieces which fell in my nets during 2022 and sharing also the only one who went to another home. The first watch is a humble one which reinforces my feeling that it’s not needed to spend lots of money to get a watch which makes us smile ...
A pilot watch for a pilot- perfect!
I always thought this omega was interesting, never seen one. For myself, Breguet is high on the wish list these days. - Kevin
What a year, Abel!
From the KonTiki to the Tradition - a fantastic haul 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻 And the one that left - it did so for a great cause 👍🏻
Like them … I love them !
Interesting and diverse selection and I’m so pleased that you finally netted the Breguet that you wanted, a watch that I feel will suit you very well. Your generous gift to your son is a wonderful gesture and creating a memorable moment for him. The Etern...
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments on my end of 2022 horological balance. Agree with you about the Williard Seiko. It has been in my sights for a long time and ...
... guess it is impossible to avoid connecting it with that wonderful film and of course with the confirmed use by US troops deployed in the War. Have a great weekend dear friend! Cheers! Abel
Wahooo, my friend - what a superb line–Up, you brought to the table !. Really some exquisite add–ons, where one can feel your pride having got them !
From these fine series, my personal favs are the first Kon–Tiki in burgundy, but even more so your stunning RG Breguet 7027 La Tradition ( in fact a watch I sometimes think of, a real temptation for me ! Anyhow a splendid rose–gold ! – Bravo ! And Well do...
Hello dear friend HS! Thanks a lot for your always so kind comments on my posts. I had been wishing the La Tradition for so many years!! I touched the sky when I finally could bag it...
... and I´m very happy to have it in my collection. Guess you should handle it in the metal... probably you will be tempted to add it too to your wonderful collection. No other watches went out this year. Yes, it is very difficult for me to let go pieces....
I am still jazzed
about the latest. A Weiss field watch with an awesome small sweep seconds. 42mm of pure fun from a watch made in Nashville, Tennessee!! Enjoy ...
This is the sort of thing that I really enjoy about WristScan …
A watch made in Nashville, Tennessee, not something that I thought we would see. Can you tell us anything more about it ?
Great post
