That’s a cool Rolex dear Abel !
The Citizen Aqualand reminds me so much of many enjoyable diving trips over the years and friends that I meet diving. For many years it was “The” divers choice.
The watch I can’t see is your X-33, I assume it’s outside the lines ;-))
Superb photos as always.
Best regards

The WS for the 17th of September - ‘Coloring outside the lines’ - is live
As posted yesterday the theme of this week’s WS is ‘Coloring outside the lines’. So basically watches that don’t really make a classic of your collection or otherwise if your collection is very different from the norm… Surprising uses, unusual locations, ...
Nice theme
I gave it some thought, and went through my pictures to find this picture, taken last year in Canberra. Some pink cherry blossoms blooming then, which brightened the landscape. This piece is the only piece I have with an unusual complication (deadbeat sec...
This is a most unusual and yet very fantastic piece 👌🏻
Was very positively surprised when they launched it and it’s one of my favorite complications 👍🏻
Thanks KMII
Wish I came more prepared for this theme. If I could conjure up any watch into my collection to feature into this weeks post, i would likely post the following: 1) A meistersinger 1-handed piece 2) A jump hour piece .E.g Mickey Mouse Genta biretro Tokyo d...
Nice to have you hosting dear KM! And a very interesting and challenging Theme…
… that I’m sure will bring many awesome entries along the weekend. I will come back later today with some pieces that “color outside the lines” of my collection. Best cordial regards Abel
Great theme
I'm sure we are going to see some amazing stuff! I am very much a dive watch person through and through with flyback chronographs a distant second but this one is the most left field for me: ...
This is a pretty funky piece indeed!
Pocket watches are a cool touch generally and nowadays very much outside the lines and this Seiko is a spectacular demonstration of that 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻
On ocasions i sinn and test out the smart side
Does its job good so far when i need it but not much soul in there. ...
That’s an interesting outside the lines I didn’t think about!
And very much reality nowadays. The only reason I have not engaged so far is probably the disposable nature of the product, which bothers me 🧐😊
The weird zone…. Have a nice day 🙂
Black glossy leather strap? Then it’s a dress watch. My father’s 1983 Omega Gold DeVille Ultrathin. 32 mm. My old motorcycle boot. My most comfortable and frequently worn footwear. ...
These are all very cool combinations!
Especially enjoy the 21st century officer look of the last shot 👌🏻👍🏻
Hello dear KM! Here some shots to answer your Theme.
Though about 90 percent of my watches have a manual or automatic mechanic movement inside I own a few quartz watches which can be considered as timepieces which color outside the lines of my collection. And I must recognize that in spite my preference for...
These are wonderful pieces indeed!
And your statements made me remember the times when one could actually walk into a watch shop and walk out with a watch 😂 The Timex also adds a wonderful dash of color!
Thank you so much dear KM for your kind comments. Agree with you about walking into a watch shop and being able to get what you were looking for. It´s amusing to think that those...
... "normal times" were just a few years ago and how -and why- everything changed so much and in such a crazy way. Let´s enjoy what we already own and what still is possible to buy! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel
Could not agree more 👍🏻👏🏻
That’s one reason why I also enjoy independents, where demand is not being gamed 😊👍🏻

Hello dear Captain! Thanks a lot for your kind comments!
Yes, the second Rolex quartz was a lucky find a few years ago. I was talking with a friend owner od an AD when I mentioned my fondness for these watches and he said: oh! You like them? I have the last one in my vault for yesrs without selling. Is it possi...
I love the story about the Rolex ! ..,
It could only happen to you … LOL !! Good to see your X-33, a real “tool watch” for the modern world.
Love the Playboy watch, and the UG.
Here's a vintage Longines stop seconds. Just an unusual complication. Colouring outside the lines - these beautiful cartoons by Liz Climo (formerly cartoonist for the Simpsons) really make my day. She doesn't colour outside the lines though! ...
What a post 👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻
The watch is lovely but the combination with the cartoons is superb 🙌🏻👌🏻
thanks, KMII for this weekend's Wristscan theme! i shall spare everyone from my Omega bullhead this weekend :)
i'm sharing 3 watches this weekend... firstly, a regulator then, a tri-retrograde seconds hands and lastly, a wandering hours thanks for looking, everyone! have a great weekend! ...
Different ways of displaying time indeed!
And all three very nice! Possibly one of my favorite modern Pateks, simply due to being fresh in its design 👌🏻👍🏻
yeah... i still enjoy staring at its second hands passing the "relay" every 20s
but they don't make such watches anymore 😔
This colorful watch of mine is a good match for this week’s theme :)
2021 La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein ...
Thanks a lot KMII! I enjoy very much having this different and unique watch in my collection
Excellent theme for this week!
The Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein ..
Definitely a creation from outside the lines. Good choice for the theme Sfwatchlover.
Great theme my friend.
Here some from me . Really big watches aren’t my thing but i do love this Ikepod a lot and its pretty easy to wear on the wrist imho Most of you know my love for independent brands but sometimes you regret selling a old ,,big brand,,watch and when you get...
The breadth of your collection is astounding 🙌🏻
The Millenary still with you? Not an independent, granted, but a truly cool piece irrespective 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻
. Sold it to a friend a few years ago but glad its back in my collection after I bought it back a few weeks ago
Ever time i saw my friend and this Ap on his wrist a regrets selling it so i am happy i got the chance to add it again . Not a indie but def one I truly love
Quirky Tudor …
That fits the theme ! Great choices and photos Watchonthewrist. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
I think I will pick these 2 amongst my collection
The most unconventional and fun watch and also the thickest in my collection I normally dislike such thickness or quirkiness to such an extreme but I love this MAD 1 ! And then the thinnest watch I have at 3.85mm thin with a very well finished and enterta...
These really are two extreme ends of the spectrum 👌🏻
And both supremely cool at that! With my general preference for thinness, I guess the Piaget just edges it for me 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
The Piaget is super under appreciated
Glad you like it buddy. Read you are feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon
Ah, that one has a fully rotatable case…
So the pushers can be in a bullhead position, too, when you use it as a stopwatch 👍🏻😊
Two perfect demonstrations of the concept…
Coming from opposite sides of the spectrum - would equally appreciate either 👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Great theme
Cool to see other members have the same situation. All mechanical watches, and a few quartz watches. I have this paradox. Feeling good wear my quartz watch. Albeit if i have the chance to wear one of my automatics, i quickly put on the delicate and sensit...
Good to see this Longines …
I don’t think we have ever seen one on WristScan before. Outside the lines of the usual watches on WristScan, so that should definitely fit the theme .
I can well understand your hunger for your beautiful quartz Longines Weems! The set off function to save battery is a very interesting feature. Similar to that in my X-33 I guess.
Some watches develop an special attraction to us, regardless they are mechanical or quartz. I feel you don´t need to think in giving it away to a family member. Just keep enjoying it so much yourself. Hagwe! Abel PS: Thanks a lot for your kind comments on...
