I have of course already shown this, but the first watch I thought of for this week's WristScan is without doubt my latest Patek...
Ref. 5177G-010, produced last year with an enamel dial that represents the borough of Boccadasse, in my hometown of Genova. Here it is -- looking forward to seeing them (the watch and the town) again in a couple of weeks!
Cheers.

Wrist Scan for May 9th is open now!! Theme: "Watches which make us smile"
Hello dear Watch Loving Friends! It is my pleasure to Host this week end our classic Wrist Scan contest. As I said in my previous announcement the watches in our collections give us lots of enjoyment and satisfaction, but I´m sure all of us own some timep...
The watch that makes me smile the most?
The one that’s incoming!! This is such a sickness..... 😀 NickO
Lol!! Thank you NickO !! This is always true... But I invite you to show a picture of a watch you already own and STILL makes you smile every time you wear it! I´m sure you...
... own at least one which fits this category!! Look forward to your shots! Hagwe! Abel.
They all do! The day a watch fails to make me smile is the day I wave it goodbye from the collection :)
But this one will always be special. It introduced me to De Bethune, to the Independents, and started my love for "crazy" watches. In two years time, it will be the first and only watch I've ever owned for a decade. So, yeah, big smile here NickO p.s. I l...
Thank you so much for your awesome entry NickO! That´s the watch I wished to see: its an special piece which provoques an special feeling: a Big Smile on you. And it is easy to...
... understand why! I agree with your policy of letting go those pieces which doesn´t provoques smiles anymore! Great shot as well! ... even if it took eleven minutes to get it! Lol! Hagwe! Abel
Alas, nothing incoming at this precise moment, was just speaking in general terms
But ask me again next week and the answer may be different 😀
The watch that restarted my collecting again after a 20 year hiatus...
it's also the watch that caused me to find the PuristS forums! ...
The Millenary deserved much more success IMHO 😊
Definitely one of the watches on my list for the first serious chronograph, which brought me to this forum 5 years ago 😉 The race was won by the Chopard LUC Chrono One but I still regularly check out Millenarys. Sadly never had one on the wrist yet 🤷🏻♂️ ...
Actually most (if not all) of my watches make me smile...
But I am not a impulse buyer... For today its my Omega SpeedyTuesday... 😍 ...
Thank you so much Markus for your wonderful entry!! Superb and cool shots and a very special Speedy! I also own this one and I must confess that it brings me big smiles as well!
I love these canvas straps you added in suit with your pants! Great outfitt! Have a nice week end Markus! Cheers! Abel
shadow or light..
it makes me smile. i love this watch well balanced, simple, a touch of red, under the radar... ...
Hello Psfparis!! How avoid smiling with this beauty on the wrist !!! This is one of the references I miss in my colection. Your description is perfect... under the radar but...
... a balanced, classic design and the touch of red is the little Devilish detail which adds to its charm. Great shots! Keep enjoying and smiling with it my friend! Hagwe! Abel
Of all my watches, this one makes me smile the most.
First off, I know this is not original. This watch started out many years ago as a 1981 16014 datejust with a fluted bezel and yellow Buckley dial. That I kept in my collection mainly due to it being my birth year. Then 3 Christmases or so ago, my wife wa...
A charming watch with a most charming story behind Rob!! How nice of you sharing with us!! ... I absolutely understand your feelings...
... about this piece notwithstanding it has a non original dial. A fun piece with a lovely gesture of your wife and a good reason to smile when viewing it on your wrist. As a matter of fact I tell you I have been looking after an Oyster Perpetual or Datej...
True words, Abel...
Sometimes taking things less seriously goes a long way towards making life enjoyable 😉👍🏻
Love this theme Abel
These 2 watches for me My 16660 patina makes me smille each time I wear it And this Air King I find funny Best Christian ...
Simply fantastic, Tyo!
I wish I started with this hobby a couple of years earlier 😉👍🏻
Fantastic Tyo!! I was tempted to include this one too in my opening of the thread!! It is another watch which gives me such a high pleasure and smiles every time I wear it.
Nice shot to share it with us!! Hagwe my friend! Abel
I was pretty sure it would 😉👍🏻
It’s in a way so unlikely and yet so charming 😊 Thanks a lot, Watchonthewrist 🙏🏻
Marvelous timepieces my dear friend KM!! Eclectic selection with some wonderful formal pieces such as the VC, to funny whimsical like the Play boy watch.
Charming fun shot with our Zenith Chrono, and an spacial looking digital Amida. It shows that horological smiles can be found by different approaches of enjoying watches. Have a nice week end my dear friend! Abel
Likewise to you, Abel!
And I certainly agree with you - fun can be had at all ends of the spectrum 😉 Even the whimsical Seiko 2220-0630 Playboy branded watch came with quite surprising features, such as a hand wound hi-beat movement and for the time a very rare palladium plated...
A small, eclectic selection 😉
But in this point I am with several others here - when a watch fails to make you smile, it’s probably time for a new home 😊 Thanks Keks!
Certainly both 😂
This and others of the kind (not necessarily giraffes but LEGO animals) are now frequent companions 😉
These are two fantastic watches, Abel!
And no wonder they make you smile 😊 Some superb shots, like always, too 👍🏻
This is my only colored gold watch
the warmth of the gold is like sunshine and makes me smile ...
Love the combo of gold case and blue strap!
And that is a beautiful vintage patek indeed
Well... I was expecting this!! So I went for my pills before opening your post! ;) Wonderful timepieces and stunning shots and backgrounds. How not to smile?
Have a beautiful week end my dear friend!! Abrazos pampeanos!! Abel.
