Thank you so much Larry.
I had the perfect moment that morning, not sure if I’ll get another opportunity like that for a while. My favourite is the 3rd, I really enjoy taking watch photos when on holiday, more relaxed I suppose and plenty of time on my hands (pun intended lol)!
Regards Kurt.

Our First WS event for New Year 2026 is Open Now! The Theme is "End of the Year Balances (And Dreams for 2026)"
Hello dear Friends! Happy New Year 2026! I have the pleasure to host this first event of WS for this year. You may begin posting in this same thread now and the event will be open till next Sunday 4th at night. Our Theme is asking our participants to tell...
Thanks for taking on the role of hosting the event just after the New Year’s celebration, Abel 👍🏻🙏🏻
And a great theme it is, too! I have been a good boy, with no new incomings between April 2024 and December 2025. Then this happened… First the Habring2 Aurora with the moonphase, tide and top seconds complications 🌊 The Seagull 1963 a couple of days late...
Thank you for your fantastic entry dear friend KM! Happy New Year!!
It is my big pleasure to open the year hosting this First edition of our WS events. Well no new additions... till December! And what a marvelous late additions you share here! I specially love the Habring2 with those interesting complications to boot. Thi...
Thanks so much for the kind words, Abel 👍🏻🙏🏻
A PM is in your inbox 😉 What I forgot to answer is 2026. The only thing immediately on the horizon is the P25, for the rest, let’s see what the year brings 🤞🏻
My big pleasure to do the hosting this weekend dear KM! I received your kind PM and already answered it. The P 25 is the one for this year 2026 as well!!
And as you well say... for the rest we will see what the year brings! Lol! Best, Abel
I have the feeling…
That if we were to ask at the end of 2026 there would be more watches than there will be explicitly expressed wishes in this thread 😂
Great trio, congratulations !
The Aurora is particularly appealing, of course, but the Seagull and the Gagarin have a lot of charm too! Cheers, Emmanuel
Thanks so much Emmanuel 👍🏻🙏🏻
Need to take some first pictures of the Gagarin - was a surprise finding a 24 year old NOS reissue 😁
Wonderful shots KMII.
The Habring2 Aurora makes me smile, I love the tide complication. Great wristshot of your Seagull 1963. 👌🏻
Thanks so much 👍🏻🙏🏻
The tide complication would be very much up your alley, I can imagine 🌊
Now that's what I call an eclectic acquisition!
Beautiful shots and gorgeous timepieces!
Thanks a lot…
Actually my entry was looking to be zero until late November, when it became clear that the Aurora is coming this year and not next 😂🤷🏻♂️
Hi again friends! Here some of my shots for the Theme…
I was very lucky to add several watches this year, some of them I’ve been hunting for years. Here some of them. Will be posting more later. This is a very nice addition to my Speedmaster collection which I’ve been hunting for several years. It’s a referen...
Congratulations on finding one of these 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
Looking great and a cool addition to your collection 😊👍🏻
Thank you so much for your kind message dear Captain!! I´m very happy this watch finally fell in my net past year! I remember you have shared a CB in a superb condition some time ago.
It is a very desirable variant for a Speedmaster lover I feel Best cordial regards, Abel
Thank you Captain for your kind comments on my CB. It is in a very good condition considering age and use, but if I remember well yours was in a superb condition.
I really like this reference and variant so much as it was the watch of Armstrong though I can´t remember the year of his historical watch and if it also had a CB case. May be you can refresh me those details. Cheers! Abel
Congratulations on this addition to your Speedmaster collection !
A rare and precious bird which looks wonderful. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much for your kind compliments dear Emmanuel!
Yes, it is a rare bird and a very interesting variant for my Speedy collection that I was hunting for several years. Glad you like it! Hagwe! Abel
Beautiful Speedmaster.
It looks amazing! Such an iconic watch. Congratulations dear Abel. Regards Kurt.
Thanks a lot dear Kurt for your kind compliments!
Agree the Speedmaster is an iconic watch and this particular variant a very special one. Hagwe! Abel
Feliz Año Nuevo, querido Abel!
Espero que lo hayan pasado muy bien! Que excelente e impresionante adquisición mi querido amigo! Siempre he considerado el Speedmaster con caja CB un grail. Por favor, más fotos! René
Muchas gracias René!! Feliz Año!
Me alegro mucho que te guste el CB tanto como para considerarlo un grail. Ciertamente estuve varios años buscándolo y valió la pena. He publicado un post hace unos meses cuando hacía poco tiempo de recibirlo. Te invito a buscar mi post en el buscador para...
More shots of pieces caught during 2025
I begun the year with two pieces which have been haunting my horological mind for some time: A MAD 1 Red (which really is a very Mad timepiece I feel) which I found in a NOS condition… And a WPS ABR 2008 which I thought never would be able to own but disc...
Quite a lineup …
The thing I really love is the diversity of your choices. Variety is the spice of life !
Thanks again dear Captain! Ha ha ha! Yes variety is the spice of life... and you know that though my fondness is around Rolex, Omega and Panerai brands my...
... collection is very eclectic and beyond those beloved brands. Lol!
Such a varied and distinctive quintet!
Congratulations, dear Abel! Each watch has a very unique personality and charm. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you again dear Emmanuel for your kind viewing and comments!
Agree it is a very eclectic bunch with different personalities. Cheers! Abel
What a selection in 2025!
All beautiful, and I particularly like your IWC - kudos to the brand for its design and style! Your SM is very vintage-007-cool as well! Your MAD watch is very mad indeed, and love your Panerai! Ruggedly cool!!!
Hello dear KCLQMULKU! Thank you so much for your kind comments.
I’m glad you like the IWC Portuguese Salmon dial. I think it’s a very attractive variant to this classic model. Agree with your comments on the vintage SM, the MAD 1 and Panerai. Cool watches indeed! Hagwe! Abel
Wow!!! More congrats my friend!
Speedmaster and Seamaster!!! It even looks like the Seamaster 300 has also a CB case! Is that so? Huuuuge congrats amigo mío! René
Hello again dear Rene! Thank you for viewing and commenting!
No, it’s the HF case. CB cases were only made for the Speedmaster during 1966 though those cases were used to assemble the chronos during 1966 and 67 and perhaps 68 as well. Glad you like it! Abrazos! Abel Probably the shadows in my pictures give the idea...
Well, thanks for clarifying, amigo mío!
Una belleza de cualquier manera! Disfrútalo! René
Hi Abel, great to have you hosting the 1st WS of 2026!
You scored some beauties esp the 2 charming vintage Omega and the Pam 05218 which brought us back to the good old days of Panerai. I also managed to win the MAD1raffle n 2025, what a fun watch! So here are my 2025 incoming. There are 3 on the way in 2026 ...
Hello dear friend S F! Thank you for your impressive entry and your kind comments on my watches. It looks like you also had a wonderful hunting year.
I´m happy to know we share the love for the MAD1 watch and that you could win the raffle. It´s such a fun and playful timepiece! Agree with you about the Pam05218. Panerai has announced some other interesting models in the last month of 2025 at least for ...
Congratulations on these five beautiful pieces, S F !
Five very different and interesting modern designs! Best, Emmanuel
Impressive additions SF. 👌🏻
I’m quite taken with the Mido which surprised me. HNY Regards Kurt.
Thks Kurt! As the crown is flushed with the case….
It is !?@&$ difficult to wind lol….
What a catch in 2025 👌🏻👍🏻
The MAD editions are fun and the Tellurium and Commander look quite spacey, too 🪐👌🏻 And two heavy hitters to complete the lineup 🦾🙌🏻
🙏🏻 Spaceone is really doing great stuff…
The 3rd launch is a GMT which should be interesting too.
Superb selection of watches …
Good to see you included the Spaceone Tellurium ! Best regards Captain
Hello hora12reborn! Great arrivals for your collection. Agree with our friend Salman: the PC is sublime!! Love those Breguet indexes and hand set!
The Blancpain is a very ellegant and classic watch as well. I´m sure you are enjoying so much these additions to your collection. Thanks for sharing! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks. Hagwe. Sometimes the simpler looking
Is the watch, the greater is the pleasure enjoying it.
Thank You for hosting the Inaugural WristScan of 2026 👍🙏😊
My Horological Dream for 2026 is to finally receive the watch which I have been waiting for six years www.watchprosite.com / I was very happy to find this unexpectedly NOS 5 years after it was released The Watch I wore the most this year was the W...
Thank you so much dear Salman for your kind comments and your entry. It´s my big pleasure to host this first WS edition of 2026.
A six years project may feel a monumental wait but I imagine it will be a very rewarding wait and a very special piece in your fine collection when you finally receive it this year. I look forward to view your report after its arrival and I wish you a lot...
You are very welcome dear Salman!
Once you start enjoying your new watch the pain of a long wait is forgotten in my personal experience. And the waiting enhances the pleasure of receiving the watch, and the joy of wearing it. I wish you’ll feel as I did in those long waits I spent with so...
Congratulations on this Regulator, Salman!
A wonderful timepiece! I wish you the best for your bespoke journey with C. Johner, hoping that you will finally get your watch. Best, Emmanuel
Very nice catch, the VH / Erard 👌🏻👍🏻
And a proper tool watch for the most worn 🦾 The RW sector dial was 2024 already?
Thanks so much for hosting!
So many fantastic entries for the New Year - wow! I was well-behaved for most of the year, then indulged in a flurry of activity right at year's end: Hermès Arceau Le Temps Voyageur JLC Duomètre Unique Travel Time White Gold LE Grand Seiko SLGW003 Evoluti...
