WristScan

Hello dear friends! I have the pleasure to be your host this weekend. As announced past Wednesday the Theme for the present edition requests our participants to share with us their favorite watch shots treasured in their archives. Those who enjoy both tak...  

Simple, comfy, quirky, unusual, always ready to get dirty or wet, unbreakable just like its humble owner ...  

A great wrist shot of one of my favorite watches in my collection too. You describe it so well and I can well understand why this is a favorite shot of yours. Hagwe!! Abel

Looks great on your wrist.

As I am relatively new to taking watch photographs this week was easy for me. My Explorer from my most recent holiday and my Bronze just being in the right spot at the right time. Bring on the weekend. 🍻 Regards Kurt ...  

I particularly like the shot of your Explorer, both are excellent.

… with two great shots. You say you are new to watch photography but it looks like you already got the knack of it when viewing these two great shots here. It’s always nice to add interest to a shot with some props like in the first one and you captured t... 

The watch you would take if you had to survive on an inhabited island for example. May congrats. All the best Thomas

Thanks Thomas! 🙏🏼 BTW love your post as always particularly the Hublot, one of the nicest I’ve seen. Kind regards, Kurt.

...  

… Speedy. A great strap choice and the right lightning make for an special favorite shot. Hagwe! Abel

Enjoy your time ...  

It shows the beautiful movement of your Czapek in all its glory!! A beautiful watch you share in your intriguing wrist shot with those pink flamingos behind. Those “birds” in the out of focus background help to add interest and intrigue to a shot as the v... 

This shot was taken a few years ago in Miami Beach. The sky suddenly turned darker and darker and a few minutes after this picture was taken a thick rain poured over this part of the city provoking a flooding. This shot I titled “Frogs Love!” And the idea...  

We viewed many objects from neighbour buildings flying and we prayed the storm would end soon to allow our flight departure to bring us back home. Fortunately we could finally fly though it was not easy for our taxi to the airport to sort through partally... 

Specifically like the first dark–sky and PAM shot, very well caught ambiance & mood – truly a great pic ! Next to that the Kermit shot is a bit funny but well done and I always like your Coke & Pepsi pics; that multi–colored Pepsi & reflection... 

Enjoy your weekend so much! Best, Abel

The Panerai pool shot is amazing… 🙏

So much fun !

This is one of my best attempts at watch photography. DHL delivered the Corrigia strap about ten minutes after Fedex dropped off the Panerai. I just happened to have the jacket on that nicely complimented the strap stitching and lume color. ...  

Big congrats on your new Panerai and straps!! Love that white dial Pam and the matching color jacket!! Nice shot to share your new commer to your collection!! Enjoy it so much! Hagwe Abel

...  

These are favorite shots of yours which deserve to be shared here as the Theme required!! Beautiful watches (specially love your JD!!) and that red car (MG I presume) Hagwe Abel

Sebring style !

. . . for most of my life since age 17 (+6 weeks). Thanks for the opportunity to share again. Clive PS: WP964 (GHDAE) sadly does not belong to me but I am very privileged fly it. The photo of the me in formation was taken by its owner from his other aerop...  

Wonderful British Military Omega on your wrist very appropriate for piloting a vintage plane like this superb DH Chipmunk. I would love to be seated in that cockpit!! Lucky you to be able to start piloting airplanes at that early age! Big congrats and I w... 

If so, let me join you (stuck on the ground, sadly): ...  

not many of us are able to make. It’s a fascinating passion you have, chippyfly. All the best Thomas

...  

The big domed plexi of yhis model makes a big difference!! Great wrist shot! Hagwe Abel

I am happy you like it so much. Cheers Thomas

I had to stop at one point because I just had too many )). For me two attributes will make a wrist shot standout. Most often it is the lighting of the picture and its ability to reveal nuances in the watch dial or depth for example. This represent the maj...  

Now the Judges will have a tough job to award the winning shots among so many wonderful pictures from you and other participants! Lol! Great watches and shots! Thank you! Hagwe Abel

Some outstanding shots, dear yacomino: VC CV green strap, Hentschel brown strap and the first glowing Explorer shot!

Sublime watches and excellent wrist shots.

Here are some of the faves from my collection: The early days of Covid was scary as 🤬 but Quarantine was one of the best times of my life which I could spend with my son. Who knew not working and just skateboarding (no surfing - ocean was closed🤣) all day...  

Pandemia years were scary, dangerous and a drama for Humankind. But it offered some unique opportunities for us at same time. Your experience with your little cute son is a good example and shows in your adorable shot skating together and capturing the th... 

My personal Fav of yours is the second shot of the Breguet La Tradition, superb ! – Also liked the one from Indie Habring2, great design, which I have never seen before. Next to that, the Omega Railmaster with the sublime reflections ! – Chapeau ! HAGWE &... 

Cheers all! ...  

I specially love the impressive setting for your Explorer picture! Hagwe Abel

Many great shots here, as usual. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

I am enjoying my weeken so much and hope same are doing you. Cheers! Abel

Some more recent ones: ...  

Specially love your second Nautilus shot and your interesting Seamaster/Ranchero dial and that lovely Mido chronograph. HAGWE, Abel

Have a good weekend!

… as I hove not added any new watches for a while, and I am away on a trip ...  

And some superb watches to enjoy viewing in them. Thanks a lot for sharing! Hagwe! Abel

you have shared many nice photos and my favourite would be the 5th one with the water splashing. i have only one style when taking photos of my watches and thus, my favourites would mostly be photos of my favourite watches at the moment. so here goes some...  

I feel it's very important to develop a personal style in photography and it's clear you have your own with high quality close approaches to your new arrivals showing details of dials or movements. New arrivals always inspire us to shoot them and discover... 

indeed, it's always exciting when a new watch arrives and i can't wait to photograph it every time.

Cheers!! Abel

My contribution would be this photo from my swim in the ocean on a rainy day. You c an see the raindrops on the surface of the water. My Tudor BB 58 in its right element. Enjoy! ...  

You also have captured your watch with a dramatic light of dark clouded sky and water adding to the mood of this picture. Well done! Thanks a lot for your participation. Hagwe, Abel

Let me start in style with an innocent and unspoiled shot ... ... later the evening some more to come! ...  

... With satisfactory results as composition and lightning are difficult to control. You did a great job here to share your elegant Patek in a cool setting with a casual outfit. I love that! HagweAbel

Some of you may have seen one or another pic, but that‘s more or less expectable & I hope you‘ll bear with me.. An autumnal shot in the City – Curves, curves from the 70ies.. A cool shot on a hot day on the Piazza della Pantheon/ Roma Just chilling in...  

... backgrounds make for great photographs to enjoy later viewing and remembering nice people met and places visited. I specially love your first shot of your curvaceous 70's Le Coultre Alarm, your GADA Aquanaut and your stunning JLC Triple Date, just to ... 

Hello dear Abel and friends, It’s all about the passion, the people and WristScan brings the two together. A few favourites from a long list of memories… When the sea and stars align … The Zenith of Rock, this shot is a true retrospective of two of my old...  

Absolutely agree with your words my dear friend. You have just contributed to make the job of judges so hard this weekend Captain with these great shots you share. Not easy to declare just one favorite. I deeply love your Moonshine shot for your choice of... 

It was difficult for me choose which ones to post 🤔

… I can well imagine it was not an easy task choosing them. Cheers! Abel

It was both fun and nerve wracking, trying to get the angle and not damaging the watch 😱

My personal favs are the Daytona/Zenith shot, and your both PP pics with Calendrier & Nautilus are sublime ! And yes, I can relate to the difficulty of choice we all may have faced among our stable marvels.. – Have a good remaining Sunday and a great upco... 

I hope you have enjoyed your weekend.

My fav watch pix are those I take during my travels......Cheers! 😁 ...  

... Which I'm also very fond of. Discovering new places or visiting our faborites give great oportunitiies of wonderful backgrounds and getting great shots which bring many memories later when viewing them at home. Great examples you share here : intrigui... 

Cpt Cook was at the Pinnacles desert in West Aust .

I'm specially fond of the first one showing your Blancpain in water and your UN with ceramic background. Hagwe! Abel

Very cool !
