WristScan

So true, so very true. To this day, I regret . . .

 

. . . not being able to pull the trigger on that perfect eBay CK2914-2 several years ago.  At the time, I simply didn't have the wherewithal to follow, much less win, the auction.  A year (or was it two?) later, Omega announced the limited edition I now own for almost exactly the same price that Hawaiian Rail ultimately went for.  


I thought I'd be happy.  Turns out I still long for the vintage.

WS for the 12th of April is live - the theme is ‘Hands’

 
By: KMII : April 11th, 2019-22:59
The theme for this week’s WS is ‘Hands’. What I mean by that is any and all watches that have more than three. So let’s see chronographs, calendars, multiple time zones, alarms... Looking forward to seeing your multi-handed entries and have a great weeken...  

Easy for me... Four of them...

And this one, because if you add mine, that makes 4 hands. ...  

You’re going for the win in all three categories, Nico 👌🏻

Some fantastic shots and it’s hard to say which one I like most. Very, very nice selection! 😊

Funny theme my friend .

I have found a few and some of them have very cool hands imho ...  

I see Nico is your legal counsel 😉

Adding your own hand, every watch has four or more 😂 On a more serious note, you have shown some real beauties, with truly special hand designs 👌🏻

What a great theme, my friend! I'll sure play...

... starting with a photo that shows quite a few hands over the guilloche dial of the Blancpain Villeret GMT Reveil... ... followed by the tritium filled hands of the Breguet Type XX Aeronavale 3800BR: Have a great weekend everyone! Cheers Henrik (Post ed...  

If it’s a wristshot...

And a three hander, our esteemed legal counsel from Paris says it’s OK 😉 The BP is a shot to die for. And the XX is so charming with the tritium 👌🏻

Thanks, you honor! So here are two additional wristshots...

... and one watch even has more than three hands 😎 The Blancpain Villeret Quantieme Complet... ... and a watch that actually has my favorite hands on it, the Hentschel H2 Sport: Cheers Henrik ...  

Truly beautiful Henrik!

I so regret not having been able to attend Paris last time and to see the Henschels live 🤷🏻‍♂️

I love two types of hands...

 
By: NT931 : April 12th, 2019-02:19
Blued hands (especially when there are 6 of them!) And patinated hands that highlight the charms of vintage. ...  

Wonderful, NT931 👌🏻

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-02:31
The blued ones on your GP chronograph are wonderful indeed! And the patinated ones, too 😊

M.o.D hands ...

 
By: Ludi : April 12th, 2019-03:16
... yet still the real deal ... vs the next to come (seller pic), original hands... except... ... Oh boy ! M.o.D dial this time. It seems I can’t get the CK2444 the right way :/ Well, I can’t help being happy anyway Hagwe ^^ - Fred ...  

My kidneys for a Grana ...

 
By: Ludi : April 12th, 2019-03:21
... and maybe I might have a slight chance to get those dirty twelves Thanks

ROFL 🤣

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-03:24
Maybe third time lucky? 😉 Cool pieces either way 👌🏻

The alarms have it, the alarms have it

Hi Sorry, been watching far too much of BBC parliament of late! 🙄 Cheers JML ...  

ROFL 🤣 Good one!

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-03:58
While I cannot comment on BBC Parliament (the kids ended my TV days five years ago), the alarms really do have it! And you have such a great collection of them, too 👌🏻

Great Theme dear KM!! Hands set are an important feature of our beloved wacthes, not only they are needed to be able to read time of course but they also add...

 
By: Subexplorer : April 12th, 2019-06:06
... character, beauty and charm to the watch. I feel we will view many great entries this week end answering to your call!! Will search my HD to add some pictures to the thread! Cheers! Abel

What superb shots, FabR!

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-13:10
And three excellent specimen of different complications 👌🏻

What does it mean when all my watches have stick hands?

 
By: jporos : April 12th, 2019-08:21
Even the new watch that I have pre-ordered from the Basel 2019 novelties has stick hands. Do I need a watch with cathedral hands? Help! HAGWE! ...  

I think you do...

 
By: KMII : April 12th, 2019-13:11
A nice Minerva Pythagore Aviation, for instance 😉 On the other hand (pun intended) the ones you show are great 👌🏻
