WristScan 11/13/2015 starts now. Theme: Anything but Swiss
This Habring2 has been my daily wear for the past month. Made in Austria. I think Richard and Maria are even more "independent" today than they were when the watch was first purchased in 2013. It is as good, if not better, than any Swiss watch I own in te...
No Senator Navigator?! . . .
. . . I was certain that was going to be your entry, Nicolas . . .
I was somehow certain
That it would be a Made in France Jaeger with you, Nico Lovely piece. A Valjoux 72 movement?
That is an awesome "one and done".
Indeed this was a surprise one. I really thought you would have gone "German" HAGWE, Mike
Aahhh !.. The Panda dial, Love that black on white !.. Clean but pretty cool ! ..
So you by chance know The Ref of this one ? Thx for sharing - I love these Jaegee Chronos ! Best & HAGWE ! hs
Another gem in your collection.
Never noticed the small writing before. Very appropriately chosen!

Saturday night I will ne in NYC to see "Lulu" at the Metropolitan Opera House. This seems to be an appropriately Teutonic watch to wear. Have a great weekend, all! ...
Saxonian, more like
With a hint of German baroque and lots of Saxonian warmth. Where a Zeitwerk would be pure Prussia, this is definitely much more representative of where it comes from
There is definitely some warmth, and even richness, to it.
So Baroque...perhaps. Now then, is it appropriate for "Lulu"? The opera is rich, but harsh.
There's only one Lulu . . .
. . . that I know of . . . Lulu is no lemon . . . and she's more pop than opera ;-) . . .
Classically German and easily takes down 99% of its Swiss counterparts
Have a good time at the Opera House and thanks for sharing, Mike
Hey MKT, I'm Going To Have To Go Ahead And...
... Agree with you. My H2 Foudroyante is just as wonderful as the day I got it. Have a great day! ...
And you took it back home
At least in the digital sense Great combination with the blue strap, and a very appealing complication!
Will go there soon ;)
But needs to be next year - cannot justify another watch this year and returning from there without at least having ordered one is neigh on impossible
Oh, I was sooo close to purchasing the Foudroyante
then my wife reminded me that I'm always at a loss without a "date" function. Next time I will have to travel to Volkermarkt directly Thanks for sharing, Mike
Two complications in one
Foudroyante and jumping seconds...a gem that flies under the radar.
Of course
What I meant but my daughter and the predictive text conspired against the plural
This was my first...
... Independent. A great piece. Then Richard fixed it with blue'd hands. Tres magnifique. - scott
Breakfast in America* . . .
. . . with my latest GS on tap for today. * apologies to Supertramp ...
That's new! I don't know how you can do such a light California breakfast :-)
We had a Hunter's breakfast this am. Bacon, Sausage, eggs, potato hash, OJ, pancakes! Hope to be in Cali in a few months. Perhaps we can get together in LA Best, Mike
Home for the holidays? Try to clear a whole Wednesday for Maggie . . .
. . . and the 3-ball tournament at Turc's. We'll have . . . First ace . . . a blast!
This is very nice
The dial color and texture as well as the case shape just gels perfectly.
This is .....
my entrance for this week's wristScan. My baby- Sinn 657 Thank you for looking HAGWE Edward ...
Odd
A Sinn, a crane, tissues and fruit. More like the ingredients for a haiku than a German novel Great pic, as always!
My humble attempt at haiku in English.....
I dance says the crane The background is not a game Sinn is my watches name Edward
Note to Static judge: it's ok to grant extra points . . .
. . . for linguistic lyricism!
If you insist Dr No:).....
....a wristshot of my Sinn 657 a German made watch. This photo has better sharpness Best Edward ...
I wish the stork would bring me "babies" like yours!
Love the composition Thanks for participating
Let me play ...
Great theme that should remind us that there are great watches outside Swiss. 1) German made, Sinn U1 Classic near indestructible diver. Oh, the Germans also have "some" nice cars. I'm more addicted to Audi than any other (car or not) brand. Love to play ...
The Athaya is really special
Never even knew that there were watches made in Indonesia - and interesting ones at that. Thanks for sharing! Btw are they only available in Indonesia?
They are available ...
Worldwide. Got mine thru Internet, after seeing a review elsewhere. Google "Athaya Vintage" and ... bingo. Cheers, Nilo
Interesting, I never knew there were vintage seiko homage watches!
Thanks for showing me something new. Best, Mike
Lovely Habring2
Having seen them live for the first time recently I can attest to them being even more appealing in reality than on pictures
And a Leo2? ;)
You just reminded me that I have a similar one somewhere. Unworn for a long time, would need to look for it first. Likewise a Poljot Kamov KA-50 hand wound one that needs a watchmaker\'s attention...
2A5 or 2A6 if I am not mistaken
But a German rebuild rather than brand new, as it appears that it still has the old main gun - 44 calibre, IIRC as opposed to the longer ones for new production.
nice entry. I did not expect to see a russian contestant. Thanks for keeping WristScan surprising!
Have a great weekend, Mike
Another Russian to join yours
Hi As most of the alternative countries seem to be either Japan or Germany, thought I'd lend yours support with my Poljot alarm. Cheers JML ...
So three Russians, then :)
Never so many in one PuristSPro thread, I recon. Nice shot!
Need to take mine to the spa
It was quite good fun (posted lower down in this week\'s WS) but definitely needs some TLC
