WristScan

. . . one assumes an acquisition was at least contemplated, and possibly consummated! :-)

GO Chronometer + Veuve = Congratulations. I hope. But I am sure the experience was a good one, Mike. Andrew

Fifty Fathoms on wood for me too. http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/alain2701/Blancpain%20Fifty%20fathoms%20Milspec%20civile/DSC04505.jpg ...  

. . . that makes two objects of desire in one photo ;-) . . .

From Corsica. The knife is named "Vendetta"... http://i814.photobucket.com/albums/zz66/alain2701/Blancpain%20Fifty%20fathoms%20Milspec%20civile/DSC04509.jpg ...  

My shot of the week so far. Wow! Andrew

Summer sky ;) http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b207/marv_fr_77/Tissot/d1eaebfd331ae24fc8b74e186636ea22.jpg ...  

. . . that's a very handsome Tissot, Marv. Cordially, Art

...  

. . . that's the understatement of the week ;-) . . .

OK Heres one ... Watch on Wood ...  

. . . that qualifies in both categories, and matched a theme to boot!

I thought that it would be a good background. Putting the watch on the "wrist" was an after thought. Thanks Julian

... and, where applicable, their unusual names. Patek would figure prominently. Watch designers, particularly in the mainstream companies, seem to be less adventurous these days. Nice wristshot, Andrew

Wishing all a nice weekend and feeling much for the ones ending their holiday season! Cheers, from Down Under. Francois ...  

Cool Geographique, Francois, with a real twist. Andrew

Yes indeed unexpected and wonderful twist. The dial of this watch gives an amazing 3 dimensional feel, its very beautiful. Have a good weekend. Cheers, Francois

Love this one so much, as you know. Dressy, elegant, and, as far as I know, UNIQUE. ;) Best, my D.U friend. Nicolas

I surely know you love it and as you say, it is UNIQUE, Kind regards from Down Under, Francois

it will stay forever young. Enjoy it. Stefan

Thank you for appreciating it. Kind regards, Francois

you say dear Art! I have dirty mind indeed ;) Here I come Donkeys hand made out of olive tree log by my father in law for his grandchildren for Xmas. Watch is my wife gift for one special occasion (she had complete control over watch choice .. :) ) Best r...  

Interesting combination of strap and case, and always lovely to receive a gift like this. Andrew

for your kind words dear Andrew. She claims that that combo looks so sexy on me.... who am I to oppose woman excitement :) Best D

some spilt milk. But that would have had DT rolling in his grave. :) Love that IWC Art. Fernando ...  

. . . that would've made my day!

I really like you string of thinking ;) Best from up here :) Damjan

to string the Split? Perhaps, hopefully we will have a beautiful encounter in Split, a nice cafe, wine and dinner and ........laughs! Yes, I forget. Watch talk as well. Dobar Dan, from Down Under. Your new mate, Francois

obvious that next IGOTT should be in Croatia :) Best Damjan P.S. Just one question did pplater gave you lectures of Croatian language or there is another string in question :)

He and I, I believe are in different ligue when it comes to horology. I am a complete novice and at the same time I am a complete enthusiast in mechanical horology, I have been since I was about 8 years old and dismembering my watches to see how they work... 

for the very same reason not playing in the same league as he and also due to a reason than nuns rarely go out in public from convent :) After all they don't take bloke as me into Premiership where our nun is playing blue chip game. :) So dear Francois lo... 

Surprisingly, the Legacy is quite wearable! The strap is very comfortable and the size pretty manageable due to the dark colored case... The Big Egyptian on the other hand... =X PAM341 and AP ROO Legacy HAGWE! C ...  

The Egyptian is really a collectors piece. You have some wearable history though not the most practical wrist art. Great pieces to enjoy the weekend. Bill

That is, the area of the Bay tree in my back yard! And as long as we're on a wood/Bay Area theme, here's another: Mighty Double Split meets MIghty Redwood... HAGWE, everyone! Best, Gary G highlightGlossaryTerms(); ...

As a rule, I only post Friday wrist shots taken on the day -- and that is the case here. The strap is the IWC Santoni one, by the way. I agree that the color match is pretty good! Thanks, Gary

The warmth of the wood, brown strap and RG case all work beiautifully together. Nicely done. Andrew

. . . without reliable connection to the internet, but didn't want to miss a session of Wrist Scan. He sent these photos of his temporary digs . . . . . . and GP for us to enjoy. Quite a trouper, our Andrew! ...  

Enjoy Waiting to see that PG in real life Julian

... but it's nice to have an oasis away from work. This is a grand country residence built from gold rush money in the 1850's. And it is the perfect backdrop for the 1966 Chronograph. I look forward to showing you this elegant beauty next time we meet. Re...
