Hello dear Captain!! Great Theme and awesome shot to open …
… the thread for this weekend!
I can easily understand your deep love for this recent addition to your collection which I know you have been hunting for a long time.
As you know I have added a few pieces to my collection after a
several months pause of watch hunting.
These are the watches I’m presently honeymooning with though of course there are many watches bought long ago which I still love so much as in the first day I received them.
Here the recently arrived:
Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe steel case… an unplanned purchase which I couldn’t resist.:
A divers watch that has been haunting me for a long time. Nothing exotic but an interesting piece for my collection of diving watches as it is the same model issued to Royal Navy divers since some time:
Ref 126500 LN Daytona: this is a watch I liked so much but had thought I would never get considering the present panorama with Rolex.
But I found an unexpected good opportunity and took the plunge!!
Last but not least…
I thought my Tudor Submariner was reasonably “complete” but I was offered this 79090 from 1993 completely minty with its box and warranty looking as if never been worn and couldn’t resist bringing it home.
As I said above there are many watches I’m still deeply in love with them after a long time in my collection.
I would like to share one of them: my FF Aqua Lung a watch I’ve been desiring for many years till I found it at beginning of past year:
In the first shot it is shown with a modern Limited edition of same watch which I keep loving so much too.
Have a nice weekend my dear Captain and all friends here!!

For me I am most in love with this montblanc minerva beauty
I wanted one since it was released and being able to find a NOS at montblanc boutique a few years back was just perfect. I love the 39mm dimensions, cal 13.21 minerva monopusher movement, the case shape, enamel dial, and pulso scale. Top finishing IMO My ...
Wow …
Just look at that minerva monopusher movement 💕… beautiful ! Any Vacheron gets my attention !
Love that Minerva movement!
An iconic design with the Devil’s Tail on the column wheel lever 😊

... stunning Minerva movement. The VC Chronometre Royal a true classic beauty to love so much as well. Thank you for sharing! Enjoy a nice weekend. Abel
First time doing this- is this where I post
The simplest of Reversos But in my opinion the best. It carries the true DNA of the brand. The polo watch. A gift from my wife who has great taste. I got it engraved so it will never leave the collection. The bracelet was keeping me from wearing it (addin...
Welcome ! …
It’s good to have you joining us this weekend for WristScan. Your Reverso is a wonderful gift of love from your wife and looks perfect on your wrist.

... the engraving add to the charm of this watch. It is not usual to view a Reverso with a metalic bracelet and I like it so much and agree that the cordovan straps is a practical option specially if it helps you to enjoy it better. Keep enjoying and lovi...
A wonderful piece…
And you did everything right 😁 Moving bracelet onto a strap can definitely rekindle the love - happened to me several times 😊👍🏻

Yes I am dear friend Yacomino!! I love them!!
I was lucky to find this Tudor to add to my collection. Im glad you like it. Thanks for your kind comments!! Hagwe! Abel
Incredible lineup of love and desire 🤩
How could I possibly choose between them…. The ceramic Daytona is a legendary watch even by Rolex standards as is your superb Blancpain FF Aqua Lung. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments on…
… my choices to answer the Theme for this weekend!! Agree it’s not easy to choose just one. We are lucky to be able to love many watches at same time. Watches are not jealous l… fortunately! Lol! Have a great weekend my dear friend!! Cheers! Abel
A great lineup as always Abel.
The Bathyscaphe is a great daily wear and the Daytona a true icon in its latest iteration!
Hello Timeout! Thanks a lot for your kind comments on my choices. Agree with your thoughts on these two pieces. The Bathyscaphe is a low profile watch which I like to wear with certain...
... confidence in our very unsafe city. The Daytona is a real icon among watches. I like so much this latest version which introduced some subtle cosmetic changes which I loved so much, specially the steel ring around its ceramic bezel which gives a nod t...
Thanks for sharing the photos of your 79090, Abel!
I miss mine, sold in 1999! And, great theme Captain! Simone
Thanks Captain!
Things are getting better, and, of course, I'm always enjoyng life! Happy spring, I'm looking forward to seeing you here soon! I love the watch and the human being that comes with the whole pachage! ;-) ...

... months without hunting activities. As you can see I added some watches you also own so we keep being "horological twins" as usual. Lol! I´m happy you like the FF shots. The vintage Aqua Lung was a very desired version I could catch at beginnings of pa...
Simply wow!
Looking like the recent months have been full of cool additions to your spectacular collection - huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Fully understand…
When the time is right one needs to grab the opportunity - they don’t always come twice 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
Thanks!
About 2 years. I’m a sucker for blue dials and sector dials and I love the case design and how versatile it is - equally at home with a T shirt or suit.
Hello Lurker! Welcome to our WS event! Thank you so much for sharing this spectacular VC beauty! An stunning presence on your wrist and agree with you that you can enjoy wearing...
... both with formal or sport clothes. Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel
Two more current loves …
The new white dial Speedmaster is a current love but my wife refers to the Porsche as my mistress 😉 🤷🏼♂️ ...
That Omega is a stunner!
Tried one on in the Bond Street boutique and awaiting it to land at my local AD. Can honestly say that I prefer it to the latest white dial Daytona.
Thank you …
Excellent build quality and sublime engineering add up to a great package.
Significantly better range …
The order books are open now, and Porsche says the 2025 model year Taycans (both sedan and Cross Turismo variants) will arrive at dealers in the summer of 2024.
I agree! I don’t get why they can’t or won’t break that 300 miles barrier (same for many manufacturer) compared to some good range from lucent and Tesla for example
I ordered the Volvo EX90 electric which I should get this summer and it’s 500km range max…in the summer!
I imagined this one would be present in your list dear Captain! How not to love it? I was told mine would finally arrive before end of this month. Now regarding your...
... for wheeled mistress... I can understand your feelings for it. Keep enjoying both my dear friend. Hagwe! Abel
Really love that shot !.. And your wife appears..
.. to have great taste as well ! Best, 😊😊
Both wonderful…
But as you can imagine I have a special weakness for the watch in your opening shot 😁👍🏻👏🏻
One you might expect and one you might not!
I love this one x1000! Just picked up this one today as a reward for making it through the first stage of aggressive chemo! This is such a lovely, un-camera-able watch! It's more green blue, deep teal with a wonderful depth to the dial, almost like a holo...
The fabulous Frodsham 🤩
That’s a love affair that I’m looking forward to enjoying very soon 😉 Stay strong and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Best regards Captain
Hello dear Spangles! You did well to get this stunning Citizen perpetual calendar with the solar powered movement as a personal reward. I wish the best for you going through your ...
... treatment and recovering very soon. Marvelous shot of your lovely Frodsham watch. The violet reflex on the Roman indexes coming from the flowers is a superb detail of your shot. Keep enjoying and loving so much! Stay strong dear friend!! Abel
A fabulous pair!
And very much hoping that the remaining treatment goes as well as can be expected 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
That’s a cool Blancpain 😎
Can you tell us a little more about how you are enjoying it ?
A truly cool watch, even if it might need some time…
To reach the legendary status and spread of the FF - but it’s got the right elements 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you for hosting this WS dear Captain.
I still love them all but these are in rotation right now and get the most love for this moment Hagwe 🤗🙏🏻 ...
