Now… That's just a great watch—and a marvelous picture, by the way. I've always wished that it didn't have all that text on the chapter ring, though. But as I
am wont to say, "If that appeared in my Christmas stocking…." Great post. Thanks! FH

April 24-26 2020 WRISTSCAN: We've got Whales!
Let's see those giant watches! Please post on this thread, with photos, dimensions and weight, starting NOW! Best of luck to you all, mates! Cazalea Here's an Antoine Preziuso Tourbillon 65mm to give you inspiration (not my watch, not my photo, not a cont...
Vs the inspiration a tiny one...
the new Panerai Submersible Luna Rossa Carbothec, PAM 1039, 47 mm, not so heavy due to the case material... But rocking a heavy link to sea 👍🇮🇹👍 By far the biggest watch in my humble collection and the one which is on my wrist during this long period of h...
Dear Cazalea, thanks!!! 🙏🙏🙏 unfortunately I don’t have the right
weight, but later I should have a Zoom call with a Paneari friend to go through their novelties to be presented @watches
Dear Abel, you as usual so kind, thank you for your words... all the pics made only for fun with my phone and despite my wife looking at me every time like a UFO... 😂😂😂 not easy to explain to her...
always safe, healthy and happy!!! I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend Ciao Luca
My big pleasure dear Luca!! We all take these shots for the fun of it and our love for our timepieces. Of course those who view us making all sorts of strange things trying...
... to get the best angle or capture an unusual background for them think we are a bit crazy. After several years doing watch photography everybody in my family are already acustomed to my excentricity with this matter but of course it is not the same whe...
This guy is big...
44mm and 15.65mm thick... its plenty watch But allow me to go all Crocodile Dundee for a moment.. "That's not a watch... "THIS is a watch!!!" 55mm of big-piloty-goodness💪🙂. HAGWE Everyone ...
Big - bold - heavy. A real whale

Not many HUGE watches in my collection anymore
Had a big LindeWerdelin but you all know that story My two biggest watches are : A big Seiko . And a huge Tudor 🤷🏻♂️ HAGWE 🤗 ...
Size is 42 mm but it wears bigger .
Not able to weight the watch , sorry but it isn’t light
Thanks , that Seiko is one great watch . I have a collection of Seiko watches and when i saw this one for sale i just had to have it .
I bought it also on a bracelet but wanted it to be a more summer watch so I tryed it on a rubber strap . Have a great weekend
It's Not a Tumor!
With my 6.5" wrist, I can totally pull off the right 34mm watch. Vintage Tudor Small Rose, vintage Omega Sea Master, a vintage Zodiac Kingline. Sure, 36mm to 39mm is probably my sweet spot, and we can all wear a 42mm Omega Speedmaster Professional perfect...
Here's my heaviest...
Fortis B42 42mm x 15mm and 216 grams, almost half a pound. The heaviest and thickest I own, although not largest diameter. It's probably more of a tank than a whale and I treat it like one. It takes a lot of abuse as you can see by the wear. ...
we all have our own whale
most of you will likely say that i'm crazy but to me yes!!!!! the nautilus is a whale....that's the reason why i let my 5711 & 5712 go . have a good week end & stay safe ...
Whales can be beautiful too!
even though some of them can be a bit scabby on the surface ...
Dear Emil… Just what we have come to expect from you—a marvelous eye for color and contrasting materials. Wonderful pic! And a Fortis I had not seen,
blue bezel and all. Many thanks for weighing-in! FH
Not my biggest but my heaviest watch
Size 39,5 Weight; On my way to the cabin with my privat driver at the wheel 😂 (my wife): ...
Love the second shot, that what I call riding in style!!
I’m going to guess that your very comfortable ride is a long wheelbase Range Rover with the executive seats in the back that almost go lay-flat. Oh, and you’re watching Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek) on the television. You’ll have to let me know how I did 😀 ...
A blue whale - courtesy of Seiko
Hi All Here's mine - by my standards it's a bit of a brute. Seiko diver ( sorry I forget the reference) , but it was the reinterpretation of the SLA017 a few years back. Just glad I didn't get it on a bracelet! Final shot shows it as close as it ever gets...
Oh! By all means you should get it wet! It's so much fun to read the time under water!
And if my humble SARB can take it, then surely your lovely piece will laugh at the depths. Nice pics. Thanks so much for playing along! FH ...
Weighing In !...
Great challenge for WristScan this weekend Mike ! Size can be deceptive especially when cased in titanium ... Weighing in at 202 Grams... Let’s try some “Moonshine” .... Weighing in at 210 Grams... Have a great weekend friends and stay safe ! ...
Hi Nicolas...
It surprised me as I’ve never weighed any of my watches. I think in future I will take a set of scales with me the next time I visit a boutique ;-))
Two big weights you share here my dear Captain!! The Pilot Zenith is superb. I wonder which is its size case: 48 mm perhaps? No need to tell you...
... my feelings about the Moonshine: that´s a most adorable weight to have on the wrist! Have a nice week end my dear friend. Stay safe! Abel
Thank you Abel...
It was good fun weighing the watches. The Moonshine is an epic watch. Keep well and enjoy your weekend.
“Oh my God, you actually bought that?!”
Was my wife’s initial reaction. But I digress. I humbly submit for your viewing pleasure my positively whalian HD3 Idalgo XT-2 which measures in at a portly 62mm by 52mm. This is 3.2 times larger than a 36mm Calatrava, thus proving if there was ever a par...
Wow, just...WOW
And yet, I like it! I've considered a Devon Tread 1 many times over the past few years but I'm worried about serviceability. Photo credit Feldmar Watch Company website ...
Here's a real TREAD ON ME
Cazalea (my wife ready to take it off my wrist and toss it back to the salesperson with "NO, HE WON'T BUY THAT!" The political flag is unrelated to the Tread watch (I think) ...
There's a gold one for sale on eBay right now
It's not Amazonium, but still ... www.ebay.com
Wow NickO!! That´s an awesome watch with an amazing history behind. You had good reasons to buy it...
... very similar good reasons as in my case when I bought my Big Egiziano: "just because we like it so much" and even if we wear them little ... and in my case only within the walls of my home. My Big Panerai gives me much pleasure to own it, when I view ...
I heard the Elves of Rivendell took a job at the Hodinkee shop
In all seriousness, that's the best writeup I've read easily all year!👏👊
Holy Balaena, Batman! How I wish I had a Face2Face or at least a Millenary to set alongside! Gosh, I've never…. But I'm such a relative newcomer here...
As has been seen, Mike and Emil were all over this! And I'm honored to be in your company. Wonderfully entertaining writer you are, as well. Many thanks! FH
