Thank you Thomas! It was a very lucky find in year 2017 when my favorite local watch store brought a brand new full set box and papers example to their store.
This is a very close re issue of Panerai or their original Big Egiziano introduced in 2009 in a 500 watches edition.
Its 60 mm big case makes it a crazy choice to wear on any wrist (except Schwarzenegger´s)
Of course it was thought to be used over the thick rubber dry suits used in the 1950´s and I could wear it over a pullover or jacket - Lol! - but I prefer avoid questions or jokes about my unusual watch. Lol!!
Hagwe my friend, Abel

WristScan Live !💥….
Hello dear friends ! We are now live with our WristScan theme .. “Things that make you go Boom !”. You know that moment when you see something that gives you that “Boom” moment. It could be a special watch in your collection, perhaps something you didn’t ...
Hello dear Captain!! This grand opening poster makes my heart go boom and inspire me to think about the several things that can make my heart run faster. Will return later ...

Hello dear Abel …
Thank you for your kind words and I look forward to seeing your choices. Best Captain
Always my big pleasure dear Captain!
Arrived home too late today Friday. Will post tomorrow with much pleasure! Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend!
This is my "boom" watch.
Went to a watch fair at my AD long ago, was not planning on buying anything. Walked in and saw the Bell & Ross rep with his display, saw this one and "BOOM". I knew right then that I had to have it, the rest is history. It needs more wrist time, maybe nex...
Hello Thomas 👋…
I like your choice and it’s good to see you enjoying it. How long ago did you get it ?
Well done dear Thomas!! I can well understand that this piece made you go Boom. Unexpected finds can became a big motif of pleasure and joy as this watch clearly shows.
Keep enjoying and loving it so much! Hagwe! Abel
Hey Captain, I might have taken this theme TOO literally.
My wife and I love hot sauce, so this “ Boom “ has a delayed effect. The AP Royal Oak has been a long time sweetheart and the VC Overseas is fast approaching that depth of feeling. the connection of the Monaco to racing is undeniable. Two very fine instru...
Fantastic group of Boom! Makers you share here Larry!
Not easy to choose just one watch among these you show here. But the Deep Sea Alarm makes me go Boom each time I view mine! Beautiful shot gun by the way!! Firearms are another thing which make me go Boom! Hagwe! Abel.
Thank you Abel, I appreciate the comments.
I liked how the shotgun pic turned out , but not so much with the JLC DSA. I hope your weekend is awesome!
The Montblanc Orbis Terrarum
Boom watch for me, had to have it, my best friend/bro heard and got it for me, the love is strong even though it's been over 8 years since I got it. ...
Wonderful watch 🙌🏻👍🏻
Of a mysterious variety - for a long time Montblanc didn’t seem to be sure if it existed 😉 Surprised by the Volvo, though 😉 How about some of your Maranello bombs? 💣🤞🏻
Yes it was a Mystery 😁
I was curious as to why it wasn't part of the Unicef initiative, we've been a Volvo Family since 1986 😊, always had one or two in the fleet, the Cavalinos had long bolted from the stables by the time this beauty arrived 😀 🙏👍
Used to be a Volvo family from 95…
The only one that remained is the 850T-5R 🦾 Need to reactivate it at some point 🧐🤞🏻
Boom Salman 😬…
After eight years you know you made a great choice. I particularly like the last photo 👍 Best Captain
What a beautiful World Timer dear Salman!
It looks more impressive with that beautiful bracelet I feel. Great shots to share it! Well played! Hagwe Abel
Great theme 🙌🏻👌🏻
And the beauty of it is that many things can have that effect. Sometimes it’s small stuff that rekindles a memory or something that one has strived towards for many years. Here are some of mine… Getting the VC1972 was truly a bomb feeling 💣 As was the Cho...
So many “boom” moments 😮…
Your first choice is also one of my boom moments with the exceptional Vacheron. Good food is always a good choice for maximum enjoyment and I would love to have a drive in the legendary LFA 👍
You and me both 😁👍🏻
Been a great Dan of Lexus over a long time. Unfortunately the model lineup in Europe is really dire in the meantime 🤷🏻♂️ I imagined you would like the 1972 😉 Was yours a bomb moment, too? 😊💣
Boom moment 😍 …
When I saw the Vacheron it was a very memorable and happy moment in time. I had to have it 💥💥💥
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If the theme reappears in 3 years, the Hunza Valley roadtrip will be one of the booms 🦾🦾🦾
Woo-hoo 🤠 Hunza and Khunjerab Pass here we come 😁
Would you like to do some Hunting? 🫣😁
Drive hunt with something like this?
Maybe the Captain will then come, too 😁 Picture from: Toyota ...
Not quite the thing…
Even if most likely the more sensible choice 😊🤷🏻♂️ We could always ask Vlad for an Alpine - in a nomen est omen sense 😉🤞🏻
Just not in the rear boot next to the engine bay…
Or it would be mulled wine in half an hour 😂
Hello dear friend KM! That VC 1972 was surely a Big Boom and it became your signature timepiece I feel. You share some beautiful watches from your fine collection but I think...
... this VC is a very special watch among all your beauties. As you show here, fine watches, fine cars and beautiful roads and places to drive them make you go Boom as well as good food and sailing. That´s wonderful!! Also wonderful to share these things ...
Thanks so much for the kind words and wishes Abel 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Much obliged. And hopefully there will be a chance to explore your homeland with a car at some point for an additional boom. Already have the watch / strap combination for it 😁🇦🇷 ...
You well deserve them dear KM!
You always share some wonderful watches and cool strap choices. I think it would be wonderful if you decide to visit my country some day. It surely offers some breathtaking places to visit by car and offering great opportunities of driving. I wish you wil...
Great varied selection !
Your Prestige de la France is a big boom watch for me too (as you know), but the patterned dial of the GS Special is also wonderful! And of course, the none-watch things are quite tasty too! 😉 Cheers, Emmanuel
Thanks a lot Emmanuel 👍🏻🙏🏻
The GS was quite the thing for me back in the day - and I still thoroughly enjoy it. As for food, when I yearn for something tasty these days, it’s either your home town from your youth or something else in Alsace - can hardly go wrong there from a culina...
When it comes to percussion, a nice BIG GONG should do the trick :)
BOOM Behold, the immensely powerful sound of a Paiste Accent Gong. A song can have the gong at the very beginning.... Or, perhaps, somewhere amid all the chaos... Or the end of the song. ...
I’m sure the boom is resonant with this one 😊💣
And great watch integration into the picture 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think I have the perfect Not Boom watch!
The French Navy has an elite commando group called the Commando Hubert (there are many), they currently are the main anti-piracy and anti-terrorist group of commandos that do some incredible rescues and other black ops activities. The watch you see is in ...
Now that’s a proper boom watch 💣💣💣
Thanks for sharing this interesting bit of history 👍🏻🙏🏻
