WristScan

it would be my Ventura V-matic Master II. While there are watches that I have had longer, it is certainly rarer than most of my other watches and I have been through alot servicing and caring for this watch. I think we are stuck with each other. HAGWE! ...  

Hang on! Cazalea

Wanted one ! Deeply regret not getting one when they were more accessible where I live ... Nice one, Prof !

in Gene Stone's The Watch and done some research on Ventura. I was then really on the lookout for a specimen with the titanium bracelet and not the rubber strap. It took a while before bank account and the right watch came into alignment. Thanks Flamenco!... 

As a gift from my big girls via their Mum, for Father's Day/Bday in June 2006, this one will remain... Opening of the box. We're all a bit older now!! First wristshot of the watch.... Here pictured last summer on the beach, showing some scars of the past ...  

a family. Nothing else can be more precious ! Wear it proud and in good health ! Thanks for the very touching story n photos !

stories like this survives test of time even for future generations Lovely family and piece Sincerely Damjan

I bet the girls get a kick out of seeing you use something they brought for you. Great shots. Andrew

whilst window shopping over the years that have stayed the test of time. Unlikely to be sold although they don't always have that much wrist time post new year's day lunch---too much drink! a stop en route to airport resulted in this credor---simple and e...  

drinking is bad??? :) I'm impulse kind of person I never regretted my impulse decision always one that I think over and over LOL! Love the BP Cheers D

It's cliche. but I am taking care of it for the next. Best, CaliforniaJed ...  

But according to Art's rule of survivors that was accepted :) :) heirlooms doesn't count ;) So what will be Your survivor dear Jed Best regards Damjan

But, if Art must be respected, the one on my wrist here was given to me by the one at my side, and it has lasted longer than my hair! It can never be sold. All the best, Damjan! ...  

no need to accept Art's rule we already did it for you :) :) Now if your only your picture shows it will make my vacation leisure morning more perfect ;) Cordially D

...  

Now we are talking ;) Best D

and see if we can get others to post pics of important life moments where a Panerai is strapped to your wrist. I think I may have one if my memory servers me correct! Cheers, Anthony

this is my future WS idea :) Cheers D

..."aka the Ones that cannot be sold…..with reason why", then this is the [non-sentimental] watch which meets that definition and (hopefully!) it is not necessary to type 'the reason why' for this audience: Cheers, pplater. ...  

as always dear pplater spot on! Most cordially Damjan

Can't participate this week, as I am on the road. Till next week Best, Horo

You really got me I was looking forward your input...can we have it written if not in picture? ;) Safe travels! Yours Damjan

Hi Damjan, thanks for this challenging WS theme! As far as I a concerned, my keepers/survivors are those watches that I simply cannot give away for personal reasons: Oris Full Calendar - wedding gift from my wife more than 20 years ago Dugena Calendar - e...  

Well done Best D

I only moved 1 or 2 watches in my life.....the rest are all here with me...I d rather take my time ,spend more months over a watch and make sure I will like it for the long run.... more specifically......first serious watch I bought.......even if not as k...  

I was expecting nothing less from you :) now ...let us see Sonata, Red Reverso & AP QP cos They are all survivors aren't they? Best my dear friend Yours Damjan

All survivors indeed.......and....a certain DB25...definitely not going anywhere...... I love not to flip.....really do. Mo

certain DB25 in that context is sacrilege.... that certain DB25 is above surviving it is eau de vie ;) Cheers D

wise words my friend.... Mo

I didn't mention it for that reason and as Nicolas would say if that certain DB25 ever leaves your hands except to my hands LOL! we'll have to tell Darko to pay you a visit ;) Sincerely Damjan

The first is the sentimental/heirloom entry. A watch owned by my father and so priceless. Without doubt, if the wolves were at the door, this would be the very last watch left in my collection. On the other hand, if I exclude all watches that carry a sent...  

awesome is awesome :) O.K. so we have double red survivor here because according to widely accepted Art's rule heirlooms doesn't count ;) Cordially dear Joe Damjan

. . . so eloquently expressed in your last two lines, Joe. My sentiments with regards to Black Karree to a "T". Also, a more than a bit surprised that no one made the obvious cinematic reference. :-)

. . . [log-in: shipkeeper], who, I believe . . . . . . posted them separately by mistake. I invited him to post his exquisite NOS vintage Omega 33.3 earlier this week, and apparently, he wasn't aware that he had to reply to your initial post. ...  

to appear in this thread.... thank you from righting this wrong dear Art...Omega as its best no doubt Sincerely Damjan
