WristScan

Now this is a funky beast, Rafal. A specimen in excellent condition.

 

I noticed that several of them come, nowadays, in almost NOS condition.

Like quite a lot of watches from the 70ies, by the way.

Which is a great thing for us!

Best,

Nicolas.

29 July, The Happy Watch.

 
By: TdotBean : July 28th, 2011-08:36
The one that make you smile when you put it on. Doesn't have to be intense but just a sweet pleasant joy. Like meeting up with an old friend. Here is mine, the mermaid has surfaced This time I went all out and got help to make this photo. HAGWE Tyler This...  

In that case . . .

 
By: Dr No : July 28th, 2011-10:31
. . . I'll get an early start on happy hour . . .

Huge congrats, T Bomb! :)

Great to see this one on your wrist! Still waiting for my call… Until then – this one makes me smile! Like a wet dream! Best Blomman PS. Very early start this week – maybe I will have to post another watch tomorrow…...  

That first photo is outstanding! I can tell . . .

 
By: Dr No : July 28th, 2011-10:37
. . . this is going to be a very good session for wrist shots. I've decided to wear my regal Glashütte Original today . . . hopefully, the usual seaside location will be conducive to producing a worthy entry this week.

You where right, Art!

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 31st, 2011-02:22
This week a lot of great WS! Thank you for your nice words. Best Blomman

Me too!

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 31st, 2011-02:24
Guess it will be a very big one! Even bigger then the Polaris roll call?! Thank you, Tyler! Best Blomman

Hey, some of that photo is mine alone...

 
By: mrsnak : July 29th, 2011-18:24
... I leave it to you to guess. Hint, I've been trying to lose a little weight lately...

I would be happier…

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 31st, 2011-02:25
If you showed the rest of the girl in the photo..! Best Blomman

I hang on with an "early Friday"

A Longines Conquest 1961, 18 carat, which I rarely use but I really like it when I wear it. URL=http://forumbilder.se] [/URL] HAGWE Anders...  

Beautiful, Anders!

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 31st, 2011-02:31
Here is an almost matching ad from 1960 (December 9). Best Blomman...  

Thanks Blomman

 
By: . Anders : July 31st, 2011-04:33
This ad, I have not seen before. A Swedish ad. Interesting to see what they cost 1960. They had movement 290-294. 291 was probably the most common and that is it with dates. Sometimes the date is placed at 3. But I prefer at 12 Regards Anders

Thank you!

 
By: . Anders : July 30th, 2011-13:56
Tyler, Matt and Art. I try my best to get a harmony in the pictures, although I not always succeed, I must admit. The watch is quite a rare model with a date at 12. Regards Anders

I don't know if this is a happy watch but I'm happy with it

 
By: nilomis : July 28th, 2011-12:40
Two pics of my Seamaster NZL-32: Now I only need a yacht and, of course, an ocean to navigate. Cheers and a great weekend to all...  

A very nice Omega Nilomis

 
By: Mark in Paris : July 30th, 2011-08:08
I really like Omegas from the 70's / 80's, I find your watch beautiful as it make me think of the beauty of a 1970's dial with a touch of modernity. A really good balance I think. Best, Mark

Shared pleasure, Geo!

 
By: amanico : July 28th, 2011-13:09
Aaah, by the way, where is this superb Tank you showed me? Next tile you come to Paris, let me know! Best, my friend. Nicolas.

It's been a while, Geo ...

 
By: AndrewD : July 29th, 2011-16:25
... but I still love this Urwerk. Like the Antiqua it is aging very well. Thanks for the great picture. Andrew

Lady bug makes me smile!...

 
By: MattS : July 28th, 2011-12:48
Especially the last picture makes me smile, I hope it makes you smile too!!! Have a happy friday and a great WE! Matt...  

Spectacular photographs, Matt!

"The beetle has landed" came to my mind in slight alteration of the famous line. Thanks for sharing, anaesdoc

Thanks Tyler!

 
By: MattS : July 29th, 2011-07:06
this is a very flattering compliment! Matt

Perhaps the ladybug . . .

 
By: Dr No : July 29th, 2011-09:42
. . . saw her reflection in the second frame, and took off in fright!

I suspect it to be in collusion with you in exchange of polen

The Community Watch

 
By: AndrewD : July 28th, 2011-17:55
I've been smiling with this one all week ......  

That Gerber looks swell on your wrist Andrew

 
By: dreamer8 : July 28th, 2011-18:30
That dial is truly mesmerising.The dial really pops with the dark out of focus background.HAGWE cheers,dreamer

Thanks. Taken with ...

... diffuse afternoon light filtering through Venetian blinds, which you can just see reflected in the crystal. I liked the moody effect as well. Regards Andrew

Just as yours is ...

 
By: AndrewD : July 29th, 2011-16:35
The DSA looks great. Perhaps thanks to Nico, but the TT Polari, Reverso's and DSA's seem to have become community watches as well! Enjoy it. Andrew

Happy for you Tyler!

 
By: fernando : July 28th, 2011-18:08
Looks like you got 'professional' help with that WS - excellent! Love the texture on the dial. cheers & congrats fernando

Not mine but on my wrist

 
By: ArthurSG : July 28th, 2011-18:52
actually, not taken on a friday as well but close enough.. Again... NOT MINE. Just a prototype actually......  

Even if it's not yours, Arthur . . .

 
By: Dr No : July 29th, 2011-13:03
. . . the few moments you were able to wear it created memories that will last for a very long time.

A good moment for sure !

 
By: Mark in Paris : July 29th, 2011-15:00
Is it not to heavy ? (yes I know I have only one quesition about this beauty and it concerns the weight :p ) Best, Mark

It is Mark

 
By: ArthurSG : July 29th, 2011-20:20
a very heavy watch and for the small wristed, I will say not the most comfortable by a long shot BUT.... for those few minutes, I guess comfort is not on the mind

Exactly

 
By: Mark in Paris : July 30th, 2011-08:02
I read quite much about this watch and if I have the opportunity to study it for 2 minutes I know I would it would be from every angle. Happy you had this opportunity !

The Beast!

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : July 31st, 2011-02:39
I tried the proto (maybe same as you?) and it was huge on my wrist! But it’s a stunning watch! Best Blomman...  

My happy watch

 
By: Davo : July 28th, 2011-19:10
Yeah, you know the one... Have a good one, guys!...  

Grinning . . .

 
By: Dr No : July 29th, 2011-13:07
. . . from ear to ear with that one, Fernando! If ever a watch could be said to have a "happy face", the Papillon would be it.

Happy watch, not so happy owner ..

 
By: bimbeano : July 28th, 2011-21:27
... today ... got up at 02,30 .... Hagwe Purists !!!! Bim...  

Something like that ...

 
By: bimbeano : July 29th, 2011-13:54
... had to pick up my daughter from the airport ... in Liège , 80 miles up and back, then drove to Antwerp, Courtrai and back home, later on the day to Ghent ... you could call it "Tour de Belgique) ... did some 300 miles today ... oh yes and some 30 mile... 

Stop complaining!

 
By: AndrewD : July 29th, 2011-16:38
You love it! Any excuse for a drive /ride. Right? A

So true ...

 
By: bimbeano : July 30th, 2011-05:24
But this afternoon i think i'm going to stay at home watching some DVD's ... about bikes and cars ... Filip

I wasn't quite happy ...

 
By: bimbeano : July 29th, 2011-13:55
.. with the result, looks a bit treble to me ... but then my view was also treble since i'm not used of getting out of bed that early Filip

A smile for this one...

 
By: tempusfugit : July 28th, 2011-21:49
And it is Friday here... A Burger tempusfugit...

By: TdotBean : July 29th, 2011-06:09
