Hello, my dear friend Abel !.. Great theme you chose for this edition of WS and your own choices are perfect examples for very special watches !
I really love your golden 145.022–69 „Astronaut“ – Speedy and it is indeed a rare and special specimen !.. Sincere congrats you were able to include it into your collection of Speedies, which is great anyway, AFAIK !
Well, the 1680 is such a Rolex– classic, that one can praise oneself happy and lucky; and you already own it
since 1977; what a nice achievement.
– Last but not least, your Breguet La Tradition is one of the watches, I love most of the ones, I have come
across in Breguet‘s portfolio. – Indeed a fine watch, a very fine watch – Not more, no less !
I enjoyed looking at your Trio and you are always of the forefront of great examples, where one
can feel your enjoyment and pleasure to covet these samples.
Pls take my best wishes for a great weekend and
All my personal Best, hs
😊😊

The Special One …
Hello dear Abel and friends ! This is a great theme for WristScan and one that certainly made give thought on to how best to answer. The difficulty as a collector is that I can honestly say that I only have watches that are special to me. My first watch i...

In my opinion it’s the Newman Daytona of the Patek world. I’ve had this watch for more than ten years.

Thank you my friend …
This watch has been to many places and special moments with me. I know it’s “just” an object to some people but it’s special to me 🤷🏼♂️
Dear Abel, your choices are top notch. For me, the super special piece is ...
the 1675 gilt - This has always given me immense satisfaction and joy since the moment it landed in my hands.. A couple of special mention which are core to my collection... ...
Special 6175 …
I completely understand your passion for this special Rolex and I have almost pulled the trigger on a Urwerk but for various reasons it just hasn’t happened…. Yet 😉
The Urwerk was not love at first sight....but totally blew me away when I had the chance to handle them.
Am sure you will find the "feel" when the time comes😁
Hello dear S F! Thank you so much for your kind compliment. And thank you for your entry. The GMT 1675 is a wonderful "Special" for sure. An early example with minute track...
... pointed crown guards, and of course gilt inscriptions makes for my favorite variant for this reference. The UN Freak and the Urwerk are two great companions to your GMT. Keep enjoying and loving so much your Special timepices my friend! Abel
Thks my friend...I was late into the vintage game and I have been focusing on Rolex GMTMs ever since.
In the Freak and Urwerk, I was looking for different presentation of time telling
Loved your choices, wheteby the gilt 1675 would also be my first „Go To“ !.. The UN is also truly a very attractuve piece !
Alltogether, very well done, Best !
This watch will always have a special place in my heart
Stowa Partitio (numbered 23 which match my age at the time is a bonus!) - bought to celebrate my graduation and getting my first job. The watch itself is very versatile hence I have a couple of additional nato straps for different occasions. Happy Friday ...

The Tourbillon with three gold bridges is a cool piece. How long have you had this one ?
I simply admire this GP. with Tourbillon & three golden bridges !.. What a piece !.. Chapeau !! 👍👏🏻
Continue to wear & enjoy it in the very Best of your health ! Cheers !!
Thanks so much, hs111!
For your pleasure guys and to continue on the GP tourbillon note: ...
Some terrific watches and great shots here! I'll throw my hat in with three:
If it had to be only one: LE of 500 in 1996 (the year my daughter was conceived); part of the Reverso revival, with one of the only shaped integrated chrono movements I've heard about, and possible the first post-quartz integrated manual-wind chrono, to b...
Hello Modernahab! What a wonderful trio you share here! Your Reverso is to die for and the connection with your daughter makes it so Special...
... and of course... why choose if you got those two other superb timepieces to enjoy too? Lol! Both the RD and Lange are so beautiful... Thank you for your entry and keep loving and enjoying your Special watches. Best, Abel
Three beautiful choices …
I particularly like the Roger Dubuis from an era that I remember and enjoyed collecting watches.
Now we’re talking!
Shaped watches are not that common or popular but your trio certainly shows the pinnacle of the art 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
I definitely like all of your Threesome, the JLC Reverso Chrono being really special !
But I understand as well your other two choices – again, a great Trio of fine watches, Not more, no less ! Cheers & Best, 😊😊
Also an admirer of shaped watches . . .
. . . and owned a fair share of Glashüttes back when they made some exquisite pieces. Thanks for sharing yours! Art
Hello hora12! ... I know, I know... It´s not easy to choose. The theme this weekend is very challenging. Not easy to choose only one among these three beauties. Fortunately...
... this is just an enjoyable game which we play this weekend. I usually can´t avoid drooling when I view a dial with Breguet numerals or a watch with salmon dials in white metal case... but here you make it very difficult to choose among these three piec...
Three very nice choices …
I particularly love the Patek chronograph. Best regards Captain
Three superb specimen there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
All very elegant and I can definitely see why you would choose these 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dear Abel, i really love your theme this month but i must admit it is also really hard to only pick 3. That being said it is also a great way to reflect on our collection !
I am sure some of my selection will not be a surprise to many! The Maritime AE chrono for me is the ultimate chic weekend watch, the AE XPS is my ultimate office versatile watch and the Lange Up Down, well, it’s the up/down! ) ...
Hello dear friend Yacomino! I knew that the theme was a challenging one when I thought about it as it was not easy for me either to make a choice. We buy watches which make our hearts...
... tick very fast and though we know they are just objects we can´t resist falling in love with them. So... how to make a very narrow choice? You share here three superb pieces. I was sure you would include at least one of your recently bought Chopards. ...
It’s certainly difficult …
Especially when you have show us these three special watches. I always thought the salmon dial would be my choice but the aqua blue really hits the spot for me. Best regards Captain
Great shots, and…
A huge endorsement for the Alpine Eagle 🦅👏🏻 The trio is superb 🙌🏻👌🏻
