Hello dear friend Art! Some stylish watches you share here! The 1894 model always keeps me drooling whenever you show it here. I also own a centenary model which I feel is a superb ...
... model and it has the added bonus for me of being introduced in my birth year.
Love the Hamilton movement on your RGM 222! And of course absolutely agree that Charlie is a gennuine style icon.
Have a nice week end my dear friend! A big hug for you! Abel

Thanks Captain
Whenever I see your post, a song sticks in my head “No Limits”. That tune is impossible to forget.
Great post Cookies! Agree with you about the Bond of Brosnan. Horologicaly speaking he introduced the Omega in the franchise. There is an interesting video interview to Jean Claude Biver explaining...
.... how the Omega Seamaster came to be the "official" timepiece of James Bond. I was very touched with your reference to your Dad. I can fully understand your feelings and it is so nice you keep those memories of him and his favorite watch. You did well ...
Thanks Abel
Yes, I will wear it often, in good and bad times too. They represent more than time or luxury, but concentrated totems of emotions and moments which cannot come back.
=D
Thanks Brauner. How was your weekend? Mine was quite uneventful and boring - lockdown and curfews here.
Everything ok here. I am on my way to Geneva right away
Not for watches but for business reasons. I hope there will be some time for watches. On my way back I will go to Bvlgari in Neuemburg to take a watch to service. I think not that boring🥴
Well, on this topic, there's one that jumps at my mind.......
............ "Karl". Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402 A-12xx Cheers, HSTE ...
It simply had to be …
“Karl" and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. Definitely an Iconic duo.
Great HSTE! No doubt Karl was a cool character and with a great style and you own a piece of history with the "Black Karl". A unique piece of collection which I wish you will keep...
... enjoying so much. Well played! Have a nice weekend my friend. Abel
Monsieur Cartier for the first ever wrist/sports/pilot watch, all in one
The uber cool Santos de Cartier! ...
Hello Wover! Welcome to WS and thank you for your participation. True, the Santos is an iconic and stylish timepiece. Present versions honor the original model which is recognized...
... among the first wristwatches and first worn by a pilot. Nice shots and interesting prop in the background makes that bike made with old ball bearings I guess. Have a nice week end! Best, Abel
"bike made with old ball bearings I guess", indeed, bought over 25 years ago, before 'everyone' started making them,
in a little workshop in an alley off an alley in a small town in Thailand. A great theme this week btw!
Thank you so much for the clarification about the bike!
Very interesting. Glad you like the theme brought by our host Captain Scarlet. Agree it’s a great Theme! Cheers!
The Santos is a classic ….
and certainly an iconic design from Cartier. Have a great weekend !
Wait a minute! Are you saying you didn't know this one
or are perhaps the threads mixed up? ...
thanks for the stylish theme, Captain! and i hope my vintage Omega Bullhead from 1970 qualifies :)
i've hardly worn my business shirts this past 1.5 year and even when i have to return to the office, it's the polo-t. with this theme, at least they have the opportunity to be photographed ...
Welcome terbaboom …
This classic Omega Bullhead definitely qualifies. The world has changed with the demise of very formal clothing in offices. Come to think of it …who needs an office 😬 Have a great weekend !
thanks, Captain!
so true... my office has actually done away with formal business attire, except when there're important meetings enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Helllo dear Terbabom. Your vintage Bullhead surely qualifies. Regarding formal shirts and suits... guess many of us haven´t worn them to office for a long time since the beginning of pandemic...
... and probably everything will change in the near future in the way we will work. I wonder if the brown dial of your Omega was originally brown or it is a "tropical" change as it happens with vintage Speedmasters? In any case a very special model from o...
thanks, Abel!
my knowledge in Omega is very limited, but i believe the dial is originally brown in colour. enjoy the rest of the weekend!
thanks, Nico!
i have changed the strap on this watch to a modern one and will post some pictures next time
Hello oyster case! I have always been fond of tt versions of DJ and even Submariners and GMT models. The Datejust is truly an icon and a stylish watch in any configuration and yours...
... is a wonderful example. Thank you for your participation and send my cordial regards, Abel
Rolex style …
Always iconic and stylish. Thank you for sharing this with us on WristScan this weekend.
Yours truly has no sense of style . . .
. . . in the classical meaning of the term. Been a t-shirt 'n Lees kinda guy ever since I can remember. When I retired years ago, my suits were retired to the rubbish bin. So while I don't have a style icon in the classical sense of the term, there is one...

Hi Art …
You have your own style and in my opinion that’s a good thing in life. Interesting to hear about Steve G and his influence on your collection. The Longines 30CH is certainly a special watch. The Omega 1894 is a stunning watch. Best regards Cap
When I started collecting my interest was mainly in complications, hence . . .
. . . the predilection for Glashütte Original. But on a subliminal level, chronometry was the more compelling attraction. That's why I credit Steve G with having considerable influence on my collection: his site wove together a whole cloth from strands th...
Styling a watch to an outfit...
on the more contemporary side. Got my A_Cold_Wall overshirt, shorts and Nike AirForce 1 x A_Cold_Wall trainers... keeping my old school Ipod Classic in its specially designed pocket for tunes... what else but a space age Ventura V-Matic to complete the fi...
Going urban….
Hi John, I see you are going for an urban style with an iconic iPod in your pocket. The Ventura V-Matic completes the look perfectly. Who influenced your look ? Best Captain
This is fun! Sharing a few photos with iconic watch and background...
Many classic watches and landmarks have thrived the test of time and become iconic and almost instantly recognisable even by the laymen. I chose the following favourites for your Sunday viewing pleasure Enjoy! Best, Wayne Iconic watch against the most ico...
Hi Wayne …
Firstly thank you for joining us for WristScan this weekend and sharing your great photos. The shot of your Reverso is excellent as are several of the others. Best regards Captain
My pleasure Bobbe! That’s great! I also like…
… so much to add a splash of color to a formal watch like a Cartier and other brands. Have a great Sunday!!
Hmmhh.. So let me see, if I still can play..
Pretty late, but maybe not too late.. Have a good remaining Sunday and a great upcoming week ! LC 3072.. A true child & icon of the 70ies All time classic TT Geophysic The Polaris to me is an iconic beast Rolex 6542.. A rather early GMT Master Two god...
Never too late my dear friend HS!! As usual you share some stylish and iconic timepieces today. I´m specially fond of your Rolex GMT 6542. Truly iconic!
Enjoy your Sunday and have a nice week ahead my friend. Cheers! Abel
Never to late for you our dear friend !
Excellent choices and many are iconic. Best regards Captain
LeCoultre 3072 is something else!
Stingray strap works well with its 70's funkiness. Style icon for sure!
