Hello dear friend HS. Thank you so much for your kind commenting on my shots. Your comments always thorough and precise.
I´m so happy to know you like the choices and shots I shared. How comes that you don´t own a Doxa?? Remember we are birds of same feather!! Lol!!
I´m glad you like the Submariner and glasses so much and consider it my signature shot. As a matter of fact is a favorite of mine but it was a very lucky shot, because I tried to reproduce later with other watches I own and in the same place but never obtained the same results with the mirror image of palm trees. Sometimes it is a mix of light, time of the day and angle which combine with a dosis of good luck or stars alignment to get the image we desire.
Thank you again dear friend! Best, Abel

The WS for August - ‘Holiday Travel Edition’ is live 🌞
As announced on Wednesday the WS theme for August will be ‘Holiday Travel Edition’ - whether you are in the process of packing, enjoying your holidays as we speak or recently returned, likewise if you dream of the holiday to come - travel and watches in a...
Wonderful diversified collection!
I wish you a great summer break when it will eventually come. Best, Emmanuel
Thanks a lot - likewise to you!
Anything you would like to contribute from your travels, current or intended?
Hello dear friend KM! Thank you for your hosting this weekend. You start the event with a breathtaking array of watches putting the bar so high.
I will return later today with my entry and as I said before with the help of my HD as we are in the middle of our Winter and had no middle year vacations in the present year. I feel we will have a very interesting and fun event to enjoy this weekend. Bes...
I am certain we will 😊👍🏻
And knowing a small part of your fabulous archive I am sure that you will rock this even outside the active holiday season 🦾👍🏻
Hello, my friend !.. What a superb kick-off 👌
Specifically like your first shot of the Chopard Chrono (cute blue-pattern strap, BTW !) and also the Seiko Hi-Beat. - Also the Ming-blue effects are lovely ! - Hope you also will have some nice holidays soon ! Cheers ‼️😎
Move first, holidays a bit later 😊👍🏻🤞🏻
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏻 Meed to obviously add to the holiday archive after the move - everyone is looking forward to that!
Thanks for reminding me of a great trip!
My wife and I spent 10 magnificent days in Portugal. An old Bugatti we saw at a vineyard. It was the owner’s grandfather’s car. Lisbon. Douro Valley; and of course, some Port. ...
Thanks
I highly recommend a trip to Portugal. While not often advertised, the bezel on that watch can be adjusted to show a second time zone (just without the typical 24 hour marker).
It is indeed one of the few European countries that have eluded me thus far 🤷🏻♂️
Hopefully to be corrected soon 🤞🏻
Many thanks, KMII, for hosting this very appropriately themed August WristScan !
Here are some shots of both recent and past holidays away from home... The landscape shots were taken same day and location as the watch shots. Best, Emmanuel July 2025: the Chronometro Gondolo by the sea October 2024: the Galet micro-rotor in Sevilla Feb...
Superb selection!
I really like how also your dressier pieces are a full part of your daily life (or holiday life for that matter). And the accompanying location shots are truly superb! I have to say the first shot with the Gondolo is probably my favorite, though - even if...
Thank you so much.
My dressier pieces are the ones I care about the most, which is why I wear them as often as possible. And I’ve indeed tried to choose shots that are as close as possible to daily life. Best, Emmanuel
Worn as they should be 🙌🏻👌🏻👍🏻
And like they used to be maybe 30 years ago, before the trend of specific watch for the occasion was as widespread as it is today 😊
Wow Emmanuel! Some stunning shots of the places you visited during your vacations and also stunning timepieces you choose for making company on your wrist during your trips.
We usually associate vacation watches with sportier types but I can see you keep wearing these so fine watches even in your holidays same ones as in your daily life. And that´s great indeed. Keep enjoying these superb watches so much dear Emmanuel!! And t...
Thank you so much for your kind words, dear Abel.
I love these watches so much, especially the dressier ones, that I wear them as much as is possible and feels safe. And I enjoy them tremendously. I hope you are having a great weekend too. Sincerely, Emmanuel
You are very welcome dear Emmanuel. How not to love those beautiful and so fine watches! I can well understand your love and willingness to wear as much as possible.
I´m happy for you reading that you enjoy them so much. Wearing our watches is the best way to fully enjoy them. I´ve been enjoying my weekend so much and I hope you too. Thank you! Keep enjoying and loving your beauties so much my friend. Best Abel.
Your Gondolo is really something VERY special!
Such a beautiful and extraordinary watch for an evolved taste. Best Thomas
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play..
Team, Just returned from holidays - were wonderful 3 weeks.. One of my most loved stretches of Italian coastline - Costiera Amalfitana and the ABP Pro 2 Rolli- Companions this year Specifically like my 116710 BLNR , Batman Pretty much all you need for man...
Like and some does not at all do justice to the shots!
A fantastic collage of summer / travel athmosphere shots and while the Tod's shot might be your classic, it's the DSA shot that I found the most striking this time around - superbly done! Hope there's more fun travel ahead, after the relaxing three weeks ...
Wonderful collection and pictorial!
I have a personal soft spot for the Breguet Marine. Best, Emmanuel
Superb collage and photos.
I especially like your Breguet Marine, a handsome timepiece.
Thx for your kind looking and the nice words !
Glad you liked those ! HAGWE & Best ! 😎
Wonderful places and wonderful watches to enjoy while vacationing dear friend HS!! Love your iconic "Postal Shots" you share with us.
As usual you share several lovely watches and it is impossible to choose just one favorite. And as you know well, we share the ownership of many of them so the love is also shared for them. So I would pick in this occassion your wonderful Breguet Big Date...
Hello, my dear friend Abel !.. Thx so much for your kind comments !.. Needless to say, I am glad you liked the shots ‼️
Yes, indeed - again, as on other occasions we both realize that we share common watches and their respective pleasure, these exhibit to us. Thx specifically that this time you liked the Breguet 5817 Big Date and the VC Overseas. - And also yes, The Bregue...
Hello dear friend HS. It is always a big pleasure for me to view and comment your fine posts and enjoy viewing those superb watches in your collection.
It is true we share the ownership of several watches but there are others (many others regret to say) that I don´t own and are in my wish list. Your Breguet is one of them. But you know: there are priorities and also budget restrictions which do not allow...
A range of great destinations…
And watches to go with them 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻 Thanks for joining in!
The Eska is a good and reasonable watch. The places are in France, the South and Paris.
I like France very much.
South of France …
I have wonderful memories of the beach life and the people. Nice shots !
I have taken too many...
here are a few from this year: - Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong: - Paris, France: - Hallstatt, Austria: - Mirabell Palace, Austria: - National Theatre, Zagreb, Croatia: - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: ...
Truly wonderful and nicely diverse selection for the theme 👍🏻👌🏻🌍

Another 20 or so would definitely still be ok as far as I am concerned 😁👍🏻🤞🏻
They’re really great so feel free to add more 👍🏻
OK.
A few more then, limiting them to 20. - Lange at Sydney Harbour Bridge, Australia: - Lange at Tower Bridge, UK: - Lange at The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt: - Lange with The Gahn at Darwin, Australia: - Lange in front of Brandenburg Gate, Germany: - Lange...
I could keep watching these all day long…
20 was just an approximate ball park 😊😉 So if you have more easily accessible, by all means do not feel limited 🤞🏻
Wow Goh!! That´s a breathtaking parade of superb watches shot in some awesome exotic locations I dream to visit some day. Your shots are truly stunning.
Thanks for sharing them here! Best, Abel
