WristScan

. . . is live from So Cal and locales around the globe! Our alphabet-soup gang gathering will be held Saturday afternoon. Most attendees share several watches, but I typically bring only the latest additions to my collection. I'll have two new additions t...  

I will follow your lead, and bring only my latest acquisition... my Holthinrichs Raw Ornament which I'm still honeymoon-ing with after 2 months. I love it! And while I'm sure there will be lots of food pictures, I'll go with what I like to end my meals wi...  

Enjoy the GTG and the weekend so much and big congrats on this wonderful addition to your collection. Best, Abel

3D printing to produce case is certainly an interesting and different concept. Looks very good.

. . . as I was only vaguely familiar with them. Cool stuff! Several of the guys at our Saturday g-t-g are indie collectors, so chances are fair one will make an appearance here, too. Oh, and as far as today's breakfast is concerned, so far I've had two cu... 

Beautiful Holtinrich 👌🏻😘

First a quick coffee and then on my way. Will hopefully post some pics later for our virtual party 🙏🏻🤗 ...  

Holthinrichs has a lovely atelier in Delft . I’ve never been there, but the pics look lovely.

then I’ll be joining the WristScan GTG … ...  

Will return later with my watch roll! Cheers! Abel ...  

. . . before picking up Timerider from the airport. The café is on the beach . . . should have pics up later today. 🍳

It was all Abel’s fault ;-)) .., ...  

. . . at a café not fifty yards from where I took the photo posted in my reply to Kevster. Forgot to take a pic of brunch, though ;-) . . . ...  

Beautiful Doxa

Hope your weekend has started 🥂

I'll be sporting this one tomorrow. It may be leaving my collection shortly so here is a good chance to spin it up. K ...  

. . . but we've got . . . . . . the grey sides! ...  

. . . to my requested shade. Dornblüth prepared three samples, out of which . . . . . . this one - RAL 7037 - was chosen. Art ...  

… some day soon. I’m happy for you imagining how much you are enjoying Timerider visit and tomorrow GTG. I surely would love to be able to join you and your friends. Here I bring my watch rolls to participate in our virtual GTG! Have a nice weekend dear A...  

Wow !

Your incredible Tribute to the astronauts. Wonderful !

. . . it's peppers! Especially the hot kind . . . a jalapeño a day keeps the doctor away. 🌶

I need to try it dear Art!! Lol!! Best! Abel

I love hot peppers, and medium; and mild as well. and how about NM hatch chilies! 🌶 Yum

… peppers so much!! Cheers! Abel

. . . on my menu, and now that Uncle Jake has dozens of pepper plants in his garden, mostly home-grown, too.

and a nice Bronzo 🥂

… my selection!! Enjoy your weekend my dear friend! Abel

Looks very cool 😎

Its a fun piece

And that what watch collecting should be. 👍

. . . and intrigued the model name isn't printed on the dial. Vintage 'Powerwind' Midos are collectible . . . is there a reason why the homage doesn't pay tribute? Curious, Art

The re issue has a cool name too, but let me take a deep breath first: Mido ocean star decompression timmer limited edition 😁

This is a beautiful and colorful edition indeed. Keep enjoying them so much!! Cheers! Abel

Cheers! Abel

Pics from my recent trip to visit the homeland of it's birth ;-) Finally, one for Art and the beer lovers... HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...  

. . . available on tap when Arnie owned a restaurant in Santa Monica; only made it there once a zillion years ago. Kudos on getting to enjoy it properly in the homeland, Tim! Best, Art

Amazing and beautiful pics too

Hope you are keeping well and enjoying life Tim 🥂

Really enjoyed your picture line-up ! - Well done !! Best, hs

It was trip to remember, fortunately I took many pics. The watch is a 41mm Grand Erwin that i commissioned a couple of years ago. One of my watches that’s gets a lot of wrist time! Cheers, Tim

Wasn’t aware that Richard & Maria also take special commissions for other dimensions, than eg usual for Erwin “regular”.. Either way, indeed a very attractive watch, the dial & indices/numbers playing with different lighting conditions, I like a lot !... 

To clarify, this wasn't a one off piece. Rather a series of 10 pieces I commissioned. Maria & Richard will entertain one off pieces for a fee, however I have worked with them since 2005, so we've done few special editions over the years ;-) Thanks for the... 

Either way, I also appreciate the two pieces I got from them. I always find their pragmatic, yet attractive approaches and the way they have meanwhile established their Manufacture really successfully in the group of Independents. Cheers, hs.

- Panerai Passport, Strap bag and watch travel bag from corrigia, as much straps as I can put in the straps bag, tools,… As soon as we meet it’s time for the table shoots ...  

and I love the Panerai passport ;-))

. . . that the more, the merrier!

Breathtaking table shots you are sharing here!! I´m sure you have spent a great time and in great company!! Thanks a lot for sharing my friend! Hagwe! Abel

But happy i could join this great virtual event to today so I brought my two latest additions Hagwe 🤗 ...  

Looks stunning 🤩

. . . actuated solely by the crown? Had dinner earlier this evening with Timerider, but again forgot to take pics. Fish 'n chips just yards from the Pacific in Malibu . . . and coincidentally two indies present, his Grönefeld and my Dornblüth. Quite possi... 

Two beauties you share. I´m specially in love with your Habring chrono, sector dial and color are superb! Lovely watch. Thank you for sharing here! Enjoy them so much and have a nice and relaxed weekend my friend. Abel

Cooling by the pool ...  

... collection through your posts! Best cordial regards, Abel
