WristScan

Hi Kent ...

 

I’m sorry to hear the news that your church was broken into and vandalised, you can’t believe what some people will do. Thank you for making time to join us and share the photos of your great Speedmaster. I almost put one on today as it’s a firm favourite.
Hope that you can join us again tomorrow.
Best regards
The Captain

The Rolex GMT-Master II It’s an incredibly versatile watch and crosses over to cover any eventuality. Formal or informal, no problem ... Exceptionally comfortable for a sports model due to the tapered and smooth bracelet. Quick set date and GMT function a...

Welcome dear Abel ...

It’s interesting that you chose the Ed White 321 as I almost went for the same watch !. The Rolex GMT-Master II is a very flexible choice and I’m sure that you will receive yours soon 🙏 Remember the journey is all part of the joy. Looking forward to seein... 

Thank you so much dear Captain! We share similar ...

Tastes in watches and I wouldn’t be surprised if you hsd chose. Your EW as well. I also know your love for that watch. Agree with you with your thoughts about the GMT. I have been collecting and wearing several of its previous references and this is a nee... 

That is a nice Speedy, Abel.

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : February 5th, 2021-10:00
What I like a lot is that it looks so dark, so black on your pictures. Not only the dial, the whole watch looks dark, bracelet including. Have not seen it in real (how could these tines?). Do you find it also extra dark looking?

Hello my dear Count!! Glad you like this watch and it is very interesting what you comment about it. Actually I feel that this is an effect of the watch being high polished and pictures...

 
By: Subexplorer : February 6th, 2021-04:49
... taken under a very bright clear and sunny day which has rendered the watch darker. The bracelet is polished on it external links and brushed in the center ones. The dial is truly black and the polished ceramic bezel deep black too and this contributes... 

Hello dear friend HS! Thank you so much for your kind comments around my Ed White which is the latest catch for my collection.

 
By: Subexplorer : February 6th, 2021-04:42
It is a wonderful modern variant which Omega offers in their catalog for our delight. Appreciate your kind comments so much my dear friend. Have a nice week end you too! Best. Abel

Good choice Captain!

Wearing my GMT 16750 which came back from servicing last week. Making sure it is running fine. Cheers🥂 ...  

Looking good S F ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-07:40
Especially with that shirt combo. Don’t forget to join us again tomorrow. Best regards The Captain

Awesome patina on your 16750 dear S F!!

 
By: Subexplorer : February 5th, 2021-08:45
You can’t never go wrong with a GMT in any reference. So nice to have yours back from the spa. We always miss our watches so much when they are receiving their service. I wish you’ll keep enjoying it so much! Hagwe! Abel

Really great looking 16750 !.. It is such a versatile and attractive tic-tac !.. on these (& mine) I also like the feature, to have a fast set option for the date !

 
By: hs111 : February 6th, 2021-06:11
PS: BTW, also a great combo, the 16750 and your shirt !.. Well done, Sir and Looking forward to your entry for Sunday ! Best for your remaining WE, hs

Friday was the LLD Espana Edicion

And today a Tudor Tiger since I’m watching golf 🏌️‍♀️ on TV! ...  

Great theme dear Captain.

 
By: Watchonthewrist : February 5th, 2021-05:41
My Choice for today ( Friday) is my ,,new,, Staudt that I picked up from Yvo Staudt last week . We had a nice idea last year to do another special watch with a new guilloche dial made by Jochem Benzinger and to finish it with Arabic Written numbers. I hav...  

What a beautiful watch dear Watchonthewrist!!

 
By: Subexplorer : February 5th, 2021-05:47
I love salmon dials in contrast with a “white metal” case so much! This dial adds the Arab numerals making for an stunning and cool presence on the wrist. Lovely watch! Enjoy it so much and keep looking forward to that special Saturday watch. Hagwe! Abel ... 

Thanks for the kind words dear Abel .

 
By: Watchonthewrist : February 5th, 2021-07:51
The watch turned out exactly like I hoped. I really enjoy wearing it .

Congratulations, definitely one for today ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-06:27
That dial by Jochem Benzinger looks superb and the bracelet is bang on trend. Best regards The Captain

Its a watch from a fellow collector and also old member here .

 
By: Watchonthewrist : February 5th, 2021-09:45
He was so kind to let me wear it for a while and its something I really want to add one day .

A quick wrist shot

 
By: quattro98 : February 5th, 2021-08:16
I usually wear an Apple Watch most days, but wanted a change of pace today so I happen to be wearing a Seiko SBDB009. The titanium case, bezel, and shroud make for a fun watch. The dial is excellent with a matte finish and strong lume. I especially like t...  

Good to see this Seiko ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-09:53
The titanium case, bezel are very cool on this one. Thanks for joining us today and hope to see what you have on tomorrow. Kind regards The Captain

Hmmh.. Let me see how to play..

 
By: hs111 : February 5th, 2021-09:44
My Friday chip-in: For today as a start, I chose an “under-the-Radar” watch, which however exhibits a lot of appeal, IMHO. It really wears comfy on the wrist, just the right size and not to much “ Bling”.. Explorer I, Ref 6610 -gilt; a real Classic with c...  

Beautiful Explorer ! ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-10:05
I particularly like the history that goes with the Rolex Explorer of this era. Very cool. Hope to see what’s happening n your wrist tomorrow. Best regards The Captain

Thx Count Moritz , for your kind interest and the nice words !

 
By: hs111 : February 6th, 2021-05:31
And yes, often it’s really these well -aged Vintages, and especially from Rolex, which can offer real also “ GADA” properties (GADA=Go Anywhere, Do Anything). IMO, a nice Explorer sample, a very nice one, as I was lucky to find it, already several years ... 

Hello, dear Abel - in kind return !.. Another kind looking from your side, and again thx a real lot !.. it’s always nice and gratifying if a good friend likes the choice(s), !

 
By: hs111 : February 6th, 2021-05:09
As mentioned quite often, already, I truly appreciate your nice sentiment ! Again your cute setup for your Ed White 321, really causes a smile, when I look at the pics. - It’s one of these little things, if we combine our watch displays with some fun and ... 

It is always my pleasure to view and comment dear HS. The Explorer has always been one of my favorite Rolex models in any of its references but specially in the early ones I find them...

 
By: Subexplorer : February 7th, 2021-05:31
... so charming. Your 6610 is truly a great example of this reference. Regarding my pictures, taking them is part of the fun and enjoyment of our watches and it is always very nice to add some additional interest and humor to them if possible playing with...

Hi Memomatic again for the last working day of the week. Been enjoying wearing it again over the last few weeks. And a few from when not chained to the desk! Enjoy the start of the weekend everyone 😀 Cheers JML ...  

Hello JML ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-10:07
That’s a very stylish Omega Memomatic and in beautiful condition. Hope to see what you have for us tomorrow. Best regards The Captain

Very well thought theme, dear Captain.

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : February 5th, 2021-09:53
My choice for a market like a pond sea this Friday: If the market is boring, well the watch is still thrilling ! ...  

Your winning at life ! ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-10:21
With that special Breguet on your wrist my friend. I have to say it looks rather splendid. 🥂 Looking forward to seeing what you choose for tomorrow. Best regards The Captain

Thank you Captain 🥃🥃

 
By: COUNT DE MONET : February 5th, 2021-13:19
Tomorrow I will show a watch gift from my brother: it is so inexpensive but with a movement that is a cornerstone in horology!

Welcome Jporos ! ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-10:25
That’s a watch that I don’t anticipate seeing today on WristScan. I always enjoy seeing something different and interesting. Have you had this one for long ? Best regards The Captain

Super Idea!

 
By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : February 5th, 2021-10:16
First day, first watch: Because it fits so well for my shirt - at least I think sooo. Yours, Adam ...  

Hello Adam ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-10:29
That’s a very cool combo of shirt and watch. Is that a new strap ? Thanks for joining us Best regards The Captain

Dear Captain,

 
By: Speedie74 aka Mr. Torquise : February 5th, 2021-11:15
many thanks for your kind words! Well, it is an original Jlc calf leather strap, I bought it around 6 Months ago.. Yours, Adam

Here are my 3. I'll post all 3 today

 
By: Thomas_3 : February 5th, 2021-10:57
since I may not be able to post tomorrow and/or Sunday. The TAG Twin-Time I'm wearing today, tomorrow will be the vintage G-P Gyromatic and the B&R for Sunday. ...  

Thanks for joining us Thomas...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-11:01
Good to see that you are changing your watch regularly this weekend. Which one is your favourite ? Best regards The Captain

Of all the watches that I currently have

 
By: Thomas_3 : February 5th, 2021-11:45
I would have to say the B&R ranks near the top. I have a Sub and a DateJust also, but the B&R always gets my eye to look down at it. And people to say "nice watch", just something about it.

Interesting ...,

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-12:10
I think you could have some fun playing with different straps on the B&R.

Hi Bill ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-12:15
The Benrus looks very cool and is a legend in the military. Perfect for your mission with the El Camino. Swing by again tomorrow to show us your Saturday choice. Best The Captain

Day 1 of the weekend (Yes, mine starts on Friday) 😂

 
By: Daandeluxe : February 5th, 2021-12:03
Not really a specific reason why I wore this today, perhaps because I don’t wear it often... It’s weird, I really love all of my watches and adore them but during COVID I don’t feel that I appreciate them as before. Nowadays I wear my Garmin running watch...  

Welcome to WristScan 🥂...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-12:22
Good to have you joining us. You make some good points about how the pandemic has changed our habits with our watches. Everything has become more casual. It’s still good fun to make time to enjoy our favourite watches with a bottle of wine at the weekend.... 

Welcome to WristScan ! ...

 
By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-14:31
That’s the first Cartier we have seen this weekend, very nice. Hope you can join us again tomorrow with another watch. Best regards The Captain

By: Cpt Scarlet : February 5th, 2021-14:32
I was hoping that you would show us three beautiful Omega watches. I love the patina on this one. Best regards The Captain

All three will be oh so similar . . .

 
By: Dr No : February 5th, 2021-14:37
