The color balance of the photo might be off, Count . . .
. . . as my recollection is the moonphase disc is green. Thanks very much for finding it! The Nebra is one of those watches that if photographic evidence didn't exist, it would be hard to say it exists at all.
Cazalea finally found an image of the blue gold dial Omega central . . .
. . . that I caught a glimpse of once in Watchtime magazine twenty years ago, but was unable to find on the 'net. After several years of searching I'd come to think maybe my imagination was playing tricks on my memory.
We should keep searching for a better image of the Nebra. It's quite striking!
Best,
Art

Wristscan - Watches & Props - Now Live !
Hello dear friends ! We are now Live for Wristscan ! This weekend our theme is “Watches & Props”. This should be an easy theme for us to enjoy as we can be creative with our watches and all kinds of props shown in your photos from cars, family, pets, spor...
Hello dear Captain! Nice to know Justin/Holdemchamp is our …
… Guest Host this weekend and with a great Theme which I feel will bring an enthusiastic answer from our members. Props are a very important part of our watch photography as it adds moods, impact or just its share of humor to the picture of our beloved wa...
Yes, I agree...
It’s going to interesting to see the photos and hopefully some great watches.
Sounds like a fun theme
It’s a nice picture with the AP openwork on the golfing lawns. The pic is almost like a watch poster/advertisement. I’ll try to take a nice photo this week.
A pair of odd species
One is mechanical, but may be mistaken for digital; the other is a synapsid, but often gets mistaken for a dinosaur. One originated in 2011; the other 280 million years ago. One thing in common however, both examples have been found in Germany! Best, Colt...
Welcome to Wristscan Colton ...
That’s a great shot and your Lange looks very good. It’s a powerful watch. Have a great weekend and thanks for joining us.
Great shot Colton! You share a beautiful and interesting timepeice and an awesome prop! Well played! Welcome to WS and thank you so much...
... for your participation! Hagwe! Abel
What a fantastic shot 👌🏻🙌🏻
Of my favorite German watch on the one hand, and an animal family we have loads off at home on the other 😁👌🏻
Yes yes yes Cpt. Looking forward to this week's WS as I find the subject to be great fun. I am one to always use props to bring a bit of life and fun to our watch photos...
So since I am hosting and cannot win anything LOL, I will post some fun shots I have taken over the past year or 2. Enjoy and have fun everyone 😜😁😉👍🙏 Et voilà. I probably went overboard but it was a lot of fun to go over these photos and post them again. ...
Well, it would be bad form to select yourself if you were judging a category, Justin, but merely . . .
. . . hosting? You're entirely eligible!
Wow that quite a line up ! ...
Some excellent prop shots Justin and Yokozuna always looks great in your photos.
What a collection of watches and props you share here dear Justin! Not easy to choose just one watch ... But easy to choose my favorite ...
... And more charming prop: Yokozuna wins! Well... If I need to choose just one watch among your selection... You know: the AP openwork drives me crazy! Now, being host you still keep being elegible in the categories you don' t judge yourself. And you hav...
Wow dude that’s a lot of photos !
I must say I approve the cat. It’s the best prop! LOL
Your cat…
Seems to be an unbelievably docile creature on the one hand, and your collection mind blowing on the other. But the Breguet carried by the Omega astronaut is pure perfection 😁👌🏻🙌🏻
Props away ! ...
Hello dear friends, I hope that everyone is looking forward to a great weekend. Just a few Props & Watches to share you ... Powerful props ... Dependable props ... Super lightweight props ... Happy hour props ;-)) Have a great weekend friends ! Best regar...
As we like to say Stateside, "Have a fifth . . .
. . . on the Fourth!" And ~ 4:00 o'clock - even better. 👍🏻 ...
I love your props dear Captain! And your beautiful watches you choose for this week end as well of course.
I'm specially fond of props used in pictures 1 and 2. Guess it is no surprise for you! Lol! Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Abel
Definitely partial to your mechanical props…
And wasn’t aware Kylie has a second (or third) career 😁👌🏻
Thank you for sharing your Rolex timepieces and a great selection of props to enhance your shots Oyster case!
Beautiful watches and well chosen props or backgrounds make a delight for the eyes! Hagwe! Abel
The watch and prop I'd love to see but never will would be . . .
. . . the GO Panomatic Lunar Nebra limited edition set alongside the actual Nebra disc. For those who aren't aware, in '07 GO produced a limited edition of ten PMLs for an Austrian AD with moonphase discs that mimicked the Nebra disc. And what, you might ...
I’m always wide eyed....
when I see this beautiful Omega Art. Your shot with an 8-ball and your rosewood cue is superb. I can just imagine Paul Newman standing to the side of your shot as in film, The Colour Of Money.
Newman would be wide-eyed if he were around . . .
. . . when I made this shot. Better lucky than good ...
Hope you can make it to Maggie's on a Wednesday when . . .
. . . you visit So Cal, Cap. Pool is some of the best entertainment . . . . . . money can buy. 🎱
I remember reading that post about the Nebra disk and the GO limited edition you mention dear Art. Agree that a shot with the watch and the Nebra disk as prop...
... Would make for a winning stunning shot! Your black dial Connie is such a beautiful piece. I specially like the mood of your rosewood cue and 8 ball. Great shot! Guess they are some kind of sgnature props for you! Have a nice week end my dear Art! Chee...
The cue butt framing Black Connie is the same cue . . .
. . . I used to make that three-rail kick shot into a side pocket. Not sure which I treasure more, Connie or the cue ;-) . . .
Here is s photo of the Nebra GO
Not the best picture of it, but if you enlarge it, you can see the mp disc looking like the Nebra. In the papers of this watch it is saying 2005? ...
The color balance of the photo might be off, Count . . .
. . . as my recollection is the moonphase disc is green. Thanks very much for finding it! The Nebra is one of those watches that if photographic evidence didn't exist, it would be hard to say it exists at all. Cazalea finally found an image of the blue go...
If you ever see it I'd recommend Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout - brewed in God's own county.
On another note I once read a definition of quaffing - where you spilt more than you drank! Courtesy of Terry Pratchett in one of the Discworld series. Cheers & enjoy the beer! JML
Samuel Smith is not only available here, it has been . . .
. . . for decades. I've had it a few times. Will have to wait for a visit to Scotland, though, to taste it on tap. 🏴
The days…
When there was a bit more novelty than just a different dial color… Now I am truly curious about the watch 😁 Great shots, Art 👍🏻
Black Connie seems to be . . .
. . . everyone's favorite. It's one of two in my collection that periodically receives unsolicited offers. My reply is always, "Why do you think they call me Dr No?"
I see they’re asking wrongly…
The question should simply be if you have anything against parting with it 😂😂😂
Porsche make great props for Wristscan ;-)) ...
Good choices for matching with this theme.
Great shots dear Yacomino! Well chosen props and backgrounds matching colors. Superb watches as well! I love the Pam 422, as you know.
Lovely Rolex OP with colorful dials. Very nice! The Porsch is always a great prop... And a joy to drive of course! Thank you for sharing these great shots my friend! Hagwe! Abel
I’ll try black and white
Juxtaposed with a Wollemi Pine, known as a collector’s pine tree. It is a very strange and rare plant, which was thought to be extinct, but rediscovered in a small area in the Blue Mountains. Then, scientists didn’t believe this plant would still exist. ...
Thanks Captain
Oh yes, rmb your no-limits theme a few weeks ago? The No Limits song is on my favourite playlist now.
That song really sticks in your head ...
We used to sing “ There’s no lyrics” back in the day ;-))
A pair of Delma watches…
The black dial one was a gift I received almost 20 years ago and the white dial one is a new old stock I bought online very recently, to make them a pair. 35mm unisex model. For the white dial watch, the hour marks show 13 to 24, and today is 18, so the d...
