If there is a Purist with the most special story and connection to a watch, than it has to be you dear Art.
Very happy for you that this perfect watch has found its way to you.
Same birth year and manufacturing year and that with such a rare Omega is not coincidence but fate.
Or in other words: a soul watch.

Here it is: WrstScan 03.06. - 05.06.2022 "Body and Soul"
Dear friends, thank you all for looking into the teasers to this round of WristScan and I must say, some nearly got the theme right! In this theme I am asking you beautiful people to show me your body watch and your soul watch. Body watch in the sense of ...
This weekend...
For our Body and Soul theme... I give you the humble Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso. I have been coveting the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso ever since I was a teenager. Although the first watch I ever bought for myself after a year or two of working was a Patek Phil...
One of my early memory of a haute horology watch is also a Reverso 👍.
That is an interesting connection, we both have here. My Reverso was a rose gold Reverso, that I still don't own yet, for a reason I don't know 🤔. Thank you for playing and a good Subday to you, dear friend.
Yes! I'm still very fond of the Revereso indeed!
And I really enjoy my first watch too - my Patek Philippe. But I could never get the Reverso out of my mind. One day I had the opportunity to acquire one and so I finally did.
When Ken posted an article about vintage Grand Seikos several years ago . . .
. . . one of the photos was of a 56GAC 25 064. I was so taken by that one image I had to have one. A year or so later, Ken handed me . . . . . . the GS I've been wearing since yesterday. I like the way it looks on my wrist, too. Art ...
A philosophical entry, dear Art.
A watch that is a soul and body watch at the same time. Very masculine and yet so delicate Seko here.
One of the most enticing vintage GS I am yet to get 😁
If you ever get tired of yours, Art, you know who to get in touch with 😁😉🤞🏻
Very interesting ...
I see your body watch as my soul piece, this lovely Octo. Amd your MB&F would look spectular on my wrist too. Well played!
Another philosophical entry tonight ...
first entry is actually both, body and soul. Great looking shot of harmony. Another Patek representing soul, I like that! Have a great weekend too, dear Stoikos and thank you for your kind words.
"Smooth . . .
. . . as silk." It's hard to argue against the proposition that Frank's the G.O.A.T. Art
The big reveal ! …
Well played dear Count ! This has been an intriguing start to WristScan this weekend. Two interesting choices, I love both of your watches. Back soon with my choices !
thanks Count for hosting this weekend's Wristscan!
body... 5196R that i think looks good on my wrist soul... Breguet La Tradition that presents the internal workings of the watch have a great weekend everyone! ...
Ahhh ... a La Tradition
I was also thinking to pick my La Tradition, but as a body watch, as it is quite a technical looking watch, hence masculine. But you are right: a La Tradition is a superb soul watch. Your 5116R has got good wrist presence, no doubt. Nice entries, dear ter...
A Great elegant pair!
I am surprised that the Breguet doesn’t get more bodily attention / compliments 😊
thanks KMII!
i was in a shop once wearing my Breguet La Tradition and the salesperson commented that her colleague told her that my watch was very nice
Dear Count,
Lovely body and soul combo to start this week's WS 🥂 My body watch - A Pam in the right size which to me is Luminor at 44mm or a Radiomir of 45-47mm. Soul Watch - Rolex GMTM, esp in something one could just pop by a store and pick one from a display. ...
A PAM is the archetype of body watch 💪
Very strong Luminor on your wridt there. Your lovely GMT Master is soul food to go 😍. Thank you for your top entries, dear S F 🥃🥃
Really, love your attractive PAM input, with its so attractive dial.. The GMT will merge in anywhere !
HAGWE & Bravo !! PS: One Q be allowed: - Is this attractive dial pattern (on the PAM) a Honeycomb type or a reflection of a light effect ?
Dear hs, thks for the kind comments!
This is carbon fibre dial on a PAM140. Pattern is clearer under lights
Thks dear Abel!
You have many in that category and your 5508 is not surprising for a Subexplorer 😁.
Emotional theme …
Hello dear Count and friends, I love the concept of this theme and considering the different ways that we all choose to play with it. Body…The “Beast” that is the Zenith … The Montre d'Aeronef Type 20, with a diameter of 57.5mm ! Titanium case and vintage...
That Roger Dubuis is my one of my firm favourites of your outstanding collection 👌
What a display, case and shape and movement, too. Your Zenith "Beast" suits your langer than life lifestyle very well. Enjoy your weekend, dearest Captain 🥃🥃.
Wow, dear Captain - what choices, what pictures !.. That RD is a real treasure with a compelling attraction..
Well done, and Chapeau my friend ! HAGWE & Best, hs.
Hmmhh.. Thx for the stumulating “teaser-theme” this time, dear Count.. Let me see what to chip in, now to play this week..
Well, this was a contemp dream for me.. true Body watch, GADA type ( Go Anywhere, Do Anything).. Another Body type, a bit fancy - from casual to dressing up And this GMT 6542 ( from IV 1958 !) came along after a long hunt.. real Soul -type for me.. Finall...
Stunning Breguet ! …
A collectors dream as is your GMT 6542. I also agree with you about the Aquanaut, a sublime watch.
That Breguet Type XX is sooo you! 👍
Great body watches, dear HS, would to call them mine too. Outstanding specimen of a 6542, a dream soul watch for many of us here. Have a great weekend, dear HS.
Hello, dear Count !.. Thx a lot for your kind interest & the nice words; I am glad you like some of the choices - really appreciated !
And Yes, both the GMT 6542 & specifically the Breguet XX Rattrapante, are truly near to my heart, and real keepers for me, as you well have commented. Wishing you all the Best and HAGWE, to you & yours ! hs.
Great choices dear friend HS! You always make me drool when viewing your 6542 and your Breguet (so truly you my friend)! I share with you the love for the Aquanaut. Such a versatile timepiece!
Lovely JLC Alarm. A charming practical timepiece. Have a beautiful weekend my dear friend. Cheers! Abel
Hello, dear Abel ! Thx for your kind comment, although..
..you have seen my „Soul“-examples, ie the 6542 & the Type XX, already quite a number of times ! - Anyway, it is always a pleasure for me to wear these, as these are vintages with enough functional aspects to make them very wearable ! Wishing you a gr...
Hi dear friend HS! Yes, I have seen before but they are always a joy to view. Two adorable watches which I see them "so you" and well chosen as your Soul Watches.
I can feel how enjoyable they are to wear on the wrist. Thank you for you kind words and good wishes my dear friend. Same to you! Best cordial regards, Abel
Hello, dear Abel !.. How kind that you again liked my choices and the selected tic-tacs..
.. always rewarding to know, my friend. - And also likewise to be curious, what our respective friends have under their sleeves but are willing to share.. It’s one of the nice things here at WPS, that picture - and thoughts - exchange is one of the goals ...
Dear hs, I am 100% with you on the 6542 followed by the TypeXX.
Soul food for vintage fanatics!
Dear SF, Thx for your kind looking & the nice comment !
Glad you like these pieces ! Cheers !!
a superb choice of a watch for your Aquanaut! 👍
I'm still waiting for my AD's grace to be upon me to let the watch choose me 😅
Thx for your nice words and I am..
wishing you luck for yours ! Can only say, it’s one of my mostly worn pieces; also a bit under the radar and really unobtrusive ! Sure, you would like it !! Cheers,
Two bodies, two souls…
Four choices that describe you really well - great choices 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thx a lot, dear K !.. Glad you liked the choices & pics..
Hope all is well with you & yours, Best.
Dear Count !.. Thx for this stimulating theme, which makes one “look inside Yours Truly”.. Both your choices well picked !
Apart from the convincing Sea Dweller ( such type of Rolex almost a “Must” for a collection), I liked your PP a lot, with also this casual attire a great match ! HAGWE & Best, hs
My soul watch would be . . .
. . . Black Connie. I first saw Black Connie on TimeZone when Phil C (whose log-in is Hockey) owned her. Here's his photo posted 17+ years ago. I sat staring at this image for minutes on end. Imagine my state of mind when seeing a WTB from Phil on TZ for ...
If there is a Purist with the most special story and connection to a watch, than it has to be you dear Art.
Very happy for you that this perfect watch has found its way to you. Same birth year and manufacturing year and that with such a rare Omega is not coincidence but fate. Or in other words: a soul watch.
Beautiful Connie dear Art. The honeycomb black dial and the indexes add so much to the charm of this watch. Not to mention the deep connection with you tied to the dates of birth of you...
... and watch!! A soul watch no doubt! Hagwe my dear friend. Abel
Aahhh, dear Art !.. What a great Connie, what great stories.
I have always enjoyed seeing your Soul mate ! Cheers, hs
Now that’s a story to end all stories, Art!
Especially since it turned to be your birth year watch, too 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for inspiring me Count,
These two have both body and soul but the second one is a bit fragile, especially the glass that often refuses to stay in place... Great theme by the way! ...
How sweet! 😃 "is a bit fragile, especially the glass that often refuses to stay in place..."
Being so fragile it makes it even a "psyche watch", connecting body and soul! Nicely played, dear Mary Anny 👍.
A similar Omega in my collection . . .
. . . has a replacement crystal . . . . . . that was cemented in place by the watchmaker that serviced it last. I'm not suggesting cementing as a fix because that would make future replacements more difficult, but it's an option for less valuable watches....
