Hmmhh.. Let me see, what to chip in..
i‘ve identified a couple of tic-tacs, which in part were resting in some watchbox, but
practically were not reaching my level of attention to again choose them in my rotation..
Several are children of the 60ies, others just not looked at for a whole while, and one a
precious heirloom in my family.. Thus, several reasons..
Glad, this week‘s WristScan had me look and think a bit..
A GP Alarm
Another cute GP: a Another GP: SeaHawk with embossed numbers
JLC 159 on my wife‘s wrist
She loves that sublime but charming face, so the watch is hers meanwhile..
Rolex 6556, Cal 1040 (Tru Beat=Dead Second) from 1956
The red, hacking seconds hand, a little splash of color
One tic-tac Omega Seamaster Dresswatch, a heirloom from my father-in-law
Puristic Crosshair Universal Geneve - elegant but cool, IMHO.
Hope you liked the little line-up a bit !
Best & HAGWE to all,

The Forgotten wristscan for 9 - 11 October now open
Hi All It's a pleasure to say this week's wristscan - The Forgotten - is now open ! So a few from me My Omega Genève from 1966 - inherited from my great uncle. Doesn't get a lot of wrist time, but definitely a keeper. Was inspired by Art's post on the Ome...
Pity!
Would have loved to travel the 1500 Km that separate me from my safe in Rome... Several forgotten stuff in there! Next year hopefully!
Good to see your forgotten watches ...
Especially the Omega from your great uncle. I just need to remember where I put my forgotten watches 🤔

Seiko 5 bought in Changi village, Singapore 1969
A slightly sad theme here really. My Seiko was a very accurate watch at that time. Now in the back of a drawer for many years. Box and papers in archive. Worth nothing now but takes up little space, so why throw away? Just part of my history. The Avia was...
Two watches which are not used but ...
... bring memories Clive. They well deserve to be kept and loved. Thank you for sharing with us!
Two great pieces of history 👌🏻👍🏻
Maybe time again to visit the jeweler to see if a surprise is in store 🤞🏻
Forgotten... Too many, sadly.
But a renewed pleasure each time I wear them. Best, Nicolas ...
Hello Nicolas! Beautiful watches which deserve to be remembered...
... I’m happy to know you enjoy them with much pleasure when you wear them again! Have a nice week end my dear friend!! Abrazos mi amigo!! Abel
Aahh, Really love that Military quintet !.. Each of them with its special pedigree, pleasures by all I trust..
BTW: still searching for a JLC Mark XI ( just have got an IWC one), never materialized so far ( the others: Mark VII, Mark VII Weems and WWW already in my stables). - So, still some homework to do, some hunt to follow.. Thx for this stimulating share, Bes...
Rarely worn 1930 Rolex ref 1936.
Saw this many years ago in a shop window and naively liked the art-deco dial. Complete with contemporary jeweller's box. Recently serviced and going well although not very accurate. Clive For the youngsters among us, UK 7gns=£7.35 ...
Very cool looking Rolex
You purchasing decision sounds perfect! I've more than once gone past a jewellers and stopped dead - only to come out slightly poorer shortly after. Thanks for sharing Cheers JML
Charming Rolex Clive. It’s testimony of...
... early years of the brand and models which helped to build the reputation of Rolex. Very nice! Cheers! Abel
That’s a pretty cool Rolex 👌🏻👍🏻
Like the times when there was a bit more variety to their offering, going beyond dial color 😉
It’s funny that JML has chosen “forgotten watches “ for this week’s theme as...
...recently, whilst having a bit of a clear out, I unearthed a watch that I had completely forgotten about. I found it in an old jewellery box that had survived three house moves unopened. It is an English made Smith’s Imperial dating from the late 1950s ...
Wow - that almost counts as watch archeology!
Amazing that it survived so many house moves & is still working. Cheers JML
What a nice sensation it had been I’m sure, to discover this ...
... forgotten charming watch Kev. It deserves some wrist time indeed. Thank you so much for sharing!! Hagwe! Abel
A superb find, Kev 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
And a story to match - I wonder what my final unpacking of all the boxes in storage through our moves will unveil 😁
My Tag Heuer 2000 bought in 1994. Had not seen it for more than 10 years, until a few weeks ago. My son's SKX009-J sort of gave up.
So I gave him my Tag Heuer. I changed the strap for the original bracelet, which was a little to big. I gave him the address of of a jeweler and told him, tell the owner I bought this watch from his father. The owner liked the story. ...
Great watch and story Bobbe!! It is wonderful...
... that your son will proudly enjoy it. Thank you so much for sharing with us! Hagwe! Abel
That’s a great story!
And looking like the story will pass on to another generation 👍🏻
Back when two-tone was in
My dad bought this in the mid-80's when twotone watches were popular, and this Datejust is quite a reflection of it's time. He didn't wear it much, reserving wearing it to weddings and special events. He gifted it to me some years ago when he saw me getti...
Hello NT931!! Nice watch with a great provenance.
I like tapestry dials so much. I also inherited a two tone DJ from my dad. I don’t wear it often because I am afraid it could be robbed as it has a strong nostalgic value for me. Otherwise I wouldn’t hesitate to wear a two tone watch. They got its chsrm a...
Tastes sometimes change...
But the gesture and the story will remain - and fully with you on the dial 👌🏻👍🏻
Great theme and thanks for being this week’s host.
Here a watch i own for more then 20 years . I bought it after I purchased my Rolls Royce, though it would be a great couple . Tbh I don’t give it that much love that it deserves . I have more watches that I almost never wear but i also can’t part from the...
Great pairing of watch and car 👍🙂
Looks very cool draped over Spirit of Ecstasy. I understand not being able to part with a watch despite not wearing it much. Never sold one of mine on. Cheers JML
That’s an appropriate watch to wear while...
... riding your Rolls Watchonthewrist!! Great shots with the csr as background! Hagwe. Abel
