WristScan

Can it be that I'm starting off this week's festivities? I am coming by it honestly, as it's around 1130 Friday here in Seoul (even though back at home where I will be finishing Friday after flying back, it's only 1930 on Thursday). Enough about time zone...  

. . . and nice wrist shot, too! You've definitely got the right watch for the occasion . . . cordially, Art

The Geo is one of my very favorites -- and as you say it is appropriate to the need! Best, Gary

It wants to go home... it better forget about that, I am keeping it right here ;-) Today I am kicking off to the Hacker Series, and guess what I am one of the pilot ;-) I wish you all a great weekend. Yves This message has been edited by PoyFR on 2010-04-...  

POY has 2 very big dogs...Please refer to the former Friday wear to appreciate the nice " Monster ". So, if you want to save your bones... Seriously, That is a serious competitor for the wrist shot of the day. Best, Nicolas

After that, may God saves those Judges' bones Mind you it is a lose lose situation, Deepsea is still in shock... LOL Thanks for making this a fun and fruitful Friday contest.

A very cool photo, Yves! HAGWE Blomman

its probably one i've seen often, but taken from a different angle i dont recognise it. best Graham

Apollo X - "Snoopy & Charlie Brown" May 18-26, 1969 Altitude: 190 km x 184 km Duration: 8 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes, 23 seconds CREW Thomas P.Stafford, Commander John W.Young, Command Module Pilot Eugene A.Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot THE PATCH "The Apollo 1...  

thanks Poy, its one i've not seen before, but i've never really delved into the mission patches. i've seen the complete missions sets, but could never understand why someone would want 20 or more watches which are essentially the same except for a patch. ... 

That Omega full case was beautiful, but you right, too many and too much of the same. I like some of them, so of the patched versions, I have Apollo X, Apollo XI and the one I had to have Apollo XIII I hope to one day find the Apollo XIII white dial. The ...  

That's crazy, POY... Now, your love for the Speedy seems to start again. Strange for a non Chrono Guy... Watches...They will drive us all crazy! Best, Nicolas

You are right, I am not passionate about chronographs, I had many but I did let go. Now I am back on the speedy, something I cannot really explain because it is a chronograph, but I love its birth, history and evolutions. Actually I will also get the late... 

I'm trying to avoid it for many years, but it seems I will fall in a very close future... Damn..Never say never! Best, Nicolas

We all appear to be travelling again; Wandering Purists sums it up. I am over in Perth for a quick trip. Sorry, no cityscapes, but these are what I am wearing ... Two Nineteen-sixties icons:...  

I have alway liked the vintage Omega's....had some..sold it...will have em again ...for sure ! Great Double wristshot !

A dressy watch for the night, an elegant toolwatch for the day...That's the way to go! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Great shot, Andrew! Do you often wear two watches at once? I notice that some people do enjoy that. Cheers, Daos

Ying and Yang, Black and White, Dress and Sport. It's fun to wear two watches occasionally, but I don't do it often. It's a little embarrassing trying to explain why to the 99.9999% of the world that don't 'get it'. However, in the absence of a GMT or Wor... 

Hi Andrew, two lovely oldies you´ve got there - and sort of a proof that the really perfect things cannot be improved any more! A question: Do you really both watches at the same time? (I would be too much of a coward to do so) Or was it just an arrangeme... 

Hi Doc, I can promise that any wristshots I post reflect the watches I have on that day, even if the photos are from the 'archive'. So, yes, I did wear both. It's not something I do regularly because, like you, I feel uncomfortable about explaining why. B... 

Pair, Andrew! Love the patina on the sub HAGWE Blomman

. . . the Fabulous Fifties, naturally ;-) . . . . . . cordially, Art...  

N-i-i-i-c-e pickup for a 'matched pair'. Congratulations! Cheers, pplater.

. . . I've had my eye on this particular Connie for awhile, with it's white gold hands and markers set against the rose gold highlights of her black dialed sister . . . cordially, Art

Congratulations, Art. This is the perfect pair. Similar but opposites. And with those wonderful arrow indexes. You now have the right choice for any mood or occasion. Hope to see them both one day. Andrew

Excellent, Gary! Superb picture, too. HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

Still working on my wrist hair, though Best, Gary

HAGWEE all Emilio PS: Gary, impressive pic, my friend!...  

I didn't plan to wear a Fifty today, but I may change my mind.... Your fault, my friend. Best, Nicolas

You can´t go wrong with some of your Ff beauties in your wrist, amigo! Un fuerte abrazo y buen fin de semana (HAGWEE!) Very best emilio

A small teasing is in order... Best, Nicolas

This is an impressive picture, my friend! I love it! Have a great weekend! Cheers, Daos

Really thanks for your nice words, my dear Daos! HAGWEE, sister Best Emilio

Always fun seeing what Purist friends will come up with for Friday! Best, Gary

For your nice words! HAGWEE my friend! Best Emilio PS: did you see your post account, my Devil friend!

Of the bezel and doomed crystal are really great! HAGWE Blomman

Certanlly, this domed plexy is one of the most awesome I´ve see. It´s like an UFO! HAGWEE, my friend Best Emilio

that dome Cheers Oliver

Thanks for your kind words, my friend! This dome is awesome, indeed. HAGWEE, my friend Best Emilio

HAGWE! -- Richard.

That's hello in Korean! It's pretty much the only Korean word I've learned that's not a food item (I love Korean food!). One of my good friends is Korean, so I guess there's still hope that I'll learn more Korean. I like your watch! Safe travels home! Whe...  

Is this the start of Nilo's call to arms for LLD owners? I can't wait. Regards, Richard.

...please do! The water's great! Happy Friday to all -- and especially to you, Richard, for the nice hello! Cheers, Daos This message has been edited by dxboon on 2010-04-30 10:40:10

Only the friendliest of rivalry, of course! A

It seems so! Brilliant picture, Daos. HAGWE. Nicolas

I was thinking perhaps all the LLD owners would be posting their wristscans today. Besides, I just love the watch. One day I will pick up a Polaris to go with it! HAGWE, brother! Cheers, Daos

A taste of Heaven... Are you hunting one? Best, Nicolas

...but there are several pieces to obtain first from JLC, GO, AP, UN, and an independent too, etc., etc.! I've made a comprehensive five-year plan! LOL! I spend more time financially planning for my collection than my retirement! Of course, priorities may... 

Hi Daos -- for a second there I thought you were calling me "annoying" just as all of my other friends do! Have been eating lots of Korean food of various types -- as well as the huge array of Western foods available here. Gorgeous photo! Your work starte... 

I met one of your fellow NorCal Observatoire owners this week, Jeff K. He was wearing his lovely KV when I saw him. What a spectacular piece. I do envy you, and wonder what's next on your horological shopping list. What do you think about the new UN El To... 

The ElToro is a bit too much UN meets Pamigiani for me with the striped face. I like and own both but not sure that a tweener is for me. Thanks for thinking of me! I think that you may have seen Jeff at the Event I was invited to, as he was the one who in... 

When the Vyskocil arrives, I'm sure you will be so overwhelmingly excited. I can't wait for those pictures. You've got a wonderful collection of indie pieces. I am envious! Cheers, Daos

... which perfectly captures the essence of the Longines Diver. Nicely done. Andrew

It really makes me happy! HAGWE! Daos

Hi Daos, very mysterious photo of yours and only the more advanced watch WIS will solve the riddle. BTW, another very nice of your shots! Best regards, anaesdoc

I thought perhaps some of the other owners would wear their Longines today. What about you, Anaesdoc? Is this a watch that speaks to you? Cheers, Daos

(A quotation from "Notting Hill", when Julia Roberts (as Anna Smith) declines a shoplifter´s request for her telephone number) I checked out the LD in a shop a while ago, being curious about it due to your and bimbeano´s repetetive posts. I found it too b...

On that one – love them! HAGWE Blomman

It's not as nice as your JLCs, of course, but a fun alternative! You have a wonderful collection. I always enjoy your posts. HAGWE too! Daos

For your kind words – happy you like them! Hopefully I will have time to write something soon… HAGWE Blomman

Impressive pic! You know how to take pics how these beauties deserve. Great weekend, my sister! Emilio

Every once in awhile I am happy with my pictures! Sending you warm wishes from LA! Daos

Can't seem to take this one off...Can't take my eyes off of it....almost caused an accident on the freeway. Details of the dial, hand, indexes and movement under a 10x loupe ..flawless, looked under a 20x loupe still flawless. This thing amazing !!! Havin...  

. . . sometime soon in the GS club. Wouldn't a GS forum here be, umm, grand? Cordially, Art

Sorry Art, i left the GS club last month to pay some bills. both gone to good homes, hopefully one will surface soon on another wrist. best Graham

Changed my mind after looking at Emilio's pic: HAGWE, All. Nicolas...  

Whats the case ? Lookin good on your wrist ! Best Drew

One of my favourite Vintage Diving watch, indeed. Thanks, my friend. Nicolas

Really speaks to me! Maybe I should start to pay more attention to “the white bread”… HAGWE Blomman

The FFs are very addictive Vintage watches, my friend. At the beginning, I just wanted one or 2, maximum, and I ended with 8! Now, I still have 6 Vintage and a Modern. You see? Best, Nicolas

Thanks for the warning; soon I will have to stop reading your posts! With every new watch, there is a new pit to fall in to… HAGWE Blomman

Since no Manufacture let me plays with Nr 666... Best, Nicolas...  

Well 666 would be a problem with LE’s in low numbers… Best Blomman

the manufacturer will not let you play with 666 Nicolas. You already make enough trouble ;-) LOLOLOL Nice piece! HAGWE my friend, -- Richard.

That's one of my deepest regret.... Best, my friend. Nicolas

This is a PLEASURE watch, my friend. Try it, and you will be convinced. Best;, my friend. Nicolas

Fifty F Power at it best, amigo mio!. You see, any day is a real pleasue with these Ff in the wrist. Hope you and yours a great and nice Weekend! Un abrazo, Nicolas Emilio

I'm loosing my mind with these watches, but you laready know that... Best, Emilio. Nicolas

for my Sea Dweller HAGWE Richard....  

These B and W pics are really charming... Nice watch, too! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Cool pic, Richard! The Sea-Dweller was my first “real watch”, love it! HAGWE Blomman
