WristScan

I like your Minerva pics very, very much. In fact, I like the watch a lot! Blued hands are so touching. And, did you say Kawasaki? Is it the name of the rose? Sounds Japanese, but shamefully, I didn't know such rose.... You learn something everyday! Thank... 

The Kawasaki rose is named after its inventor, Toshikazu Kawasaki, an origami designer and math teacher from Japan. Kawasaki invented an unique curling technique that creates the illusion of overlapping rose petals. It's quite difficult to fold, I use abo... 

.. "other" beautiful things.... Thank you, sir! Ken

.. The first , the DSA - Europe in a mild late summer , with the right ambiance behind.. Reflecting calmly.. On a nice day The second, one of my favorites with a play of light and shadow with my beloved Polaris A sunny day - just before Christmas..on a Ch...  

.. It makes 5 , as of today in my box.. ;) About to send you a PM, with some details - but thanks really again, for caring so much ! Best, hs

.. was assuming it was in relation to the Rolex - little saga, again . ;)) So, apologies, for having been superficial ! ( you may ignore most of my PM, therefore) Now to the mainpoint: Yes, yes, and 3- times Yes - I would need & LOVE another special favor... 

I think it fits naturally to the watch.... Best. Iceman ...  

I'm jealous. Regard Tyler

Eitan's reference to the WS thread on HOME reminded me. Here are some siblings of that great ref. 765, early 1940s to 1965. some shots from Mahe last week and a wristie from today ...  

WOW! Just WOW! Thanks for catching up, my friend. Nicoals

.. because I would love to see more pics of your collection! Thank you for coming back! Ken

Bought once, sold once ... let´s see what the future will bring :-) Ken, aka Mr. Trilogy ... at least in the early days. The picture above is for you. HAGWE to all, Oliver ...  

.. when you posted about the trilogy acquisition happened..... Not all the same day, but two of them on the same day, if my memory serves me right. It feels like yesterday.... I would LOVE the black 1815..... Do you still have it? Thank you for reminding ... 

No, the "Langeitis" was bad but not that bad ;-) It was just close, but not on the same day :-) None is left, but the black dial 1815 was a huge mistake to sell. It was probably the best price : value ratio ever and a pleasure to wear - especially for bus... 

... it was so close that you drove to somewhere and bought some - this is my version, but obviously confused :-) It is always sad to see any watches go..... Well, that's life. Meeting and saying good bye. Hope you will meet great watches going forward. Th... 

Have a great weekend. Bill ...  

It is always a pleasure to share. HAGWE Bill

.. why people, including you and a few others, start tempting me into the Rolex world at the same time, especially 5512, 5513..... Nice, just nice! Ken

And then there is no returning. HAGWE Bill

I instantly fell in love since I tried it on my wrist last summer!...you know that thing that hits you in the face and that we call "un coup de foudre"!... Matt

Here are a few I like. And since I haven't been here since New Years Eve, ¡¡¡HAVE A GREAT YEAR EVERYBODY!!! My best wishes to all of you, dear friends. ...  

... and judges this week will be certainly having a BIG trouble.... Sorry guys..... to be announced in time.... Thank you for sharing! Ken

Thank you Ken for your kind words... I'm honored. As you might remember I just started coming back here after losing my previous nametag so it would really be something to win so early in relation of my presence in the website. But the real and true prize... 

I'll definitely play on this one: Voutilainen Masterpiece Chronograph II with unique "Chronos" engraving by Eddy Jaquet. Best, Gary G ...  

.. nice taste, Gary, nice taste... as always. Congrats for your new piece and wear it in the best of your health! I hope to visit you guys again this year, I hope.... You can come to Tokyo, instead, too :-) Thank you, Gary! Ken

That last visit was great fun! I'm not getting to Asia with much regularity these days but if I do will definitely advise -- and you are of course always welcome here... Best, Gary

...the writing on back say, Gary??? ;-) Cheers, pplater.

...the Australian translation was "Mwoaaaah haaah haah hah!" Greetings from both Chronos and myself, Gary

It is (I hope) now in "final" form with a small few tweaks since the original delivery -- one visible to the eye, others behind the scenes to improve the operations of the calendar and moon phase. Almost four years in the making, from inception to final e... 

Sublime as always, Gary! The warmth in your shots always comes thru. Presumably with the 85 PCE .... must get me one of those .... And oh ! What a watch ! Top fog for me this week , in more ways than one !

Enamel & Gold Perfection From the master of understated elegance ! ...  

Must be so nice on your wrist! Ken

Am quite taken with enamel dials .... And PSM makes arguably one of the best ! Thank you my friend !

The watch is a sight to behold, feels fantastic on the wrist, imparts a sense of occasion in a very understated manner. An extremely dignified yet strong timepiece, quite simply the most elegant watch I have seen in a long time ! Thank you, Nico !

Tried to capture the essence and spirit of Peter's design as best I can. A very handsome watch makes my job easy ! Thanks you !

An extremely sunny day at the coast ... i will never get rid of this LLD ... it sticks to my wrist like a Pirelli P Zero to the black tarmac of Spa-Francorchamps (sorry, couldn't think of anything else) ... . And i just remember i have this Wittnauer ... ...  

... it certainly looks cold, but the wrist doesn't look old, Bim :-) I take it you like F1? That was (still is?) one of the most famous circuit in the F1 circus..... Stopped seeing F1 quite some time ago... Thank you, Bim! Ken

The wrist is getting older ... and so is the owner :-) ... but i'm not complaining ... a couple of weeks ago i still felt like i was 20 (i think that was due to the people around me :-) ...) ... I also realized that when i will buy another serious watch t... 

Mon ami ! Greetings from Woody :-) Bim ...  

But Louie ate him ;-)

.. he failed ;-) ...  

Love how your photos always takes us away ... Louie needs Cesare Milan .... LOL

.. i take a million bad ones :-) Lucky i have Louie to help a bit :-)

.. Just wanted to say, how much I liked your WS which captures this moment: the sea, mellow sunlight, blue sky, long shadows .. and your super Wittnauer ! A real pleasure to look at ! :) Have a great Sunday ! My best, hs PS: only allowed to comment on the... 

That Wittnauer is a great watch indeed, all thanks to a fellow vampire who told me to get it ... after receiving it i was very grateful :-) .. did cost me a liter of blood though ... Bim

.. It always generates new love(s), doesn't it ? Again, congrats to that piece !! We always enjoy these pieces, coming with the help or advice from our friend (.."you-know-who-he-is); Again, enjoyed your pic ( the one I am "allowed" to comment); Have a gr...

very cool watches this week. I should be up to speed on my new camera soon, will then have some new shots of new watches! It is my year coming up, 5 cycles and still galloping! Best to all, Tim

... 5 cycles... horse? I am snake, but at least 1 cycle fewer than you :-) Hope to visit No Cal again soon one day! Ken

.

Wonderful idea to return "to the roots" of weekly wrist scan dear Ken Open theme gives me opportunity to pay tribute to my dear friend and his legendary chessboard shot Friend that never let me down but also never let me have satisfaction when I break his...  

As for the chessboard shot, I cn only approve! :) All the best, my friend. Nico

and it turned out veeery good for me It was a female judge though ;) Best D

.. very nice vintage watch.... Just beautiful! Thank you! Ken

very flattered coming from such connoisseur Thank you Best regards Damjan

Your picture is amazing and so is the vintage chronograph! My favourite for this week although my verdict does not count. Best regards anaesdoc

Thank you very much dear anaesdoc I appreciate your kind words very much Sincerely yours D

Hi Damjan, as our verdicts here have almost no significance at all apart from being pleasant if you are selected and mentioned, even a trial in real life can be most disturbing if you are innocent. So we should save our bit of good judges for these occasi...
