Three perfect shots.. Pleasure to look at.. My fav is the "Tile"..Then the dark blue sea !
9/11 - yes, horror for the world for quite a long time to come..
Interesting, but deeply human, that most people know exactly, what they did, where they were..
.. Burned in ..
Bending our heads with compassion & memories..
Best, hs

Wristscan - starting 11th September: Your STEALTH watch
This week’s Wristscan is about “stealth”. Nilo tells me that in certain parts of the world, if you walk around with a Rolex on your wrist, you are inviting trouble. Similarly, I know of one guy who wears a Patek because in his workplace, a Patek just isn'...
When I read 9 / 11, I shiver. Nobody can forget.
But Life has to go on.... So, here is my vision of Stealth.... Best, Nicolas ...
I've looked your Jaeger over a few times . . .
. . . and still having a hard time understanding how it qualifies as stealthy. That's an especially handsome watch, Nicolas.
Yes, but the intriguing shaped case, compressor crowns . . .
. . . and handsome black dial - these characteristics are so prominent. There has to be a stealthier watch in your collection. MUT, perhaps?
Compressor case as well... I have a doubt about stealth...
A Geophysic is more " stealth "... But it is much more famous than this MM Deep Sea... Which I feel a bit paradoxal.... Maybe my Girard Perregaux Gyromatic? But its inverse Arrow indexes could not be perceived as " Stealth ". Best, my friend. Nicolas
How good can it get !.. Guess,meanwhile many eyes focused.. For this juwel.. Super shots !
.. needless to say & three of absolute fav-shots ! Hmmh.. Funny also, the Geophysic always leaves me reflecting.. Special, very much so ! Best, hs
yes....but....
.....with a 1019, 2914 and 3417 in my bag already......maybe you can see that this one might hurt slightly more than normal?
One shot specially made for you, dear friend! :)
Don't thank me....! Best Blomman ...

Yes, I think that many of us still remember where they were and what...
They were doing at that time, 13 years back... As for the tile shot... My fav, too. ;) Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
They often know the pen...
..but usually not the watch. From the hardest working co. in the business, here's my submission for stealth. Macro shot. ...
The absence of a seconds hand . . .
. . . correlates with stealthiness. That's partly why I prefer 910 over 911 Flightmasters, and Karrée perpetuals over Senators. Art
Stealth is Relative: Entry #1
What you don't see with PuristS is sometimes more interesting than what you can see.... My 1st entry is the most stealthy wrist-shot. Can you identify the watch with invisibility cloak activated? Hint: It's Anthony Tsai and the case back markings are in r...
I am having problems viewing the second scan watch....
......but mainly because of the first scan
This one definitely slips under the radar
No one recognises it as a pretty special watch. I love it and wear it a lot. GEO ...
The blue stitching on the strap . . .
. . . complements the stitching on your sleeve, Geo. Another compositional masterpiece, as we've come to expect.
Stealth is Relative: Entry #2
The quintessential PuristS' stealth watch must be the St Gallen PuristSPro All-Black RESCUE. See how the real carbon fibre dial changes stealthily with the changes in light? Also the shaded black SuperLuminova for the PuristSPro logo at 6 o'clock that is ...
Stealth features inded.. And nice pics to illustrate.. HAGWE !!
.. and you have also brought my own ABR to the " surface" of awareness again, for more wristtime ! Thx for the Stealth reminder ! Best, hs
Stealth is Relative: Entry #3
My final entry is actually not on-the-wrist. Does that make it an entry for WotW? Photo shows a watch crafted with meticulous detail by a gentleman and true PuristS. He even rejected the first set of dials and date discs because they were the "wrong" shad...
Most of my new watches - each and every . . .
. . . G O, as well as the Zenith - have drawn comment from people who aren't watch-conscious. (The GS hasn't yet, but I've only had it for a year.) On the other hand, none of my vintage pieces seem to elicit any interest at all - not even Black Connie. So...
Actually, Nicolas, it was originally gifted to him . . .
. . . by his eldest brother, who acquired this plus two more nearly identical Conquests (the others had yellow gold hands and markers) in July '56. The other two have both been lost, in separate burglaries.
There was a little . . .
. . . screaming after that shot, and I'm not embarrassed to admit it, either!
Love the Longines Conquest!
I should take some photos of mine... HAGWE, my friend Blomman
One shot especially for you, dear Art!
As I know you appreciate the Longines Conquest. Best Blomman ...
What a great vintage Longines !.. Afficionado's choice.. Love the clasp & bracelet !
- and as a heirloom it is and will be a very precious piece, I trust .. Thx for this share with family history !.. Best, hs
If only I could take photos . . .
. . . half as well as Anders. His Conquest pics are, as Nicolas would say, sublime.
Here are two "Stealths".. They excel but often unnoticed.. ;))
Thus, pls accept my little chip(s) - well more a Collage, also in festive surroundings.. Upper: E855 black Memo, middle: GP & festive staircase., Bottom : GP Time Zone Alarm Truly like it, to stay under the Radar Still enjoyable , Best & HAGWE !! hs ...
Hey HS! :)
Congrats & welcome to the GP club! :) Please, when you have time present your new lady over at the GP forum! HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Weelll.. You've got eagle eyes.. With pleasure, when I find some time.. ;))
Just saying, was a real coincidence : - actually, as you know, a more modern piece and no Vintage.. - but nice & cool to look at, a real "sub-radar" companion For a possible Vintage, I'll take my time, as suggested by the aficionado(s). ;)) BTW: getting e...
Lovely Traveller II and a prime example of wearing a watch
that makes the owner happy while others may be clueless about its complications and value. As a bonus, it has the most useful complications a traveller could need. CC
CC: Thx for your nice words & kind looking !.. You described it perfectly ..:) [nt]
almost trivial, but useful ! This GP Traveller / Time Zone Alarm is, how to also put it, maybe: ".. a watch for oneself", not for Bling or for others !! Thanks again, for your kind interest ! Best & HAGWE , hs
Since when do you own the GP Traveller II, my friend???
WOW! Great catch!!! Best, Nicolas
Humbly .. Since Monday .. And you have eagle eyes, of course .. ! ;))
Yes, she complements my Alarm theme, a bit- - is sort of " old class Modern", - secondly, she joins the Black Knights & Ladies !! Thx for your kind looking, Best, my dear friend ! hs
That is one you will have to show me in the real.
It has been a very long time I didn't see one in the flesh... Funnily, I was most than one tempted to buy one... Best, Nicolas
With pleasure, dear friend !.. +1 on my list for N.. Actually..
She has a sort of " sinker"- appeal, something, which takes a bit, but then may foster some strong bonds?. Was attracted also by her calm presence, a sort of " think twice"- feature, nothing to immediately " jump" on; but something quite nice to experienc...
Stealth for some is an eye catcher for another....
In this case this beauty would catch my eyes much faster than a Sub or GMT! :) HAGWE Blomman
Stealth is my middle name ...
Considering that I live on a place that is truly impossible to wear a Rolex (now AP/Hublot are also being targets), here we have: 1) The one that survived a robbery. It's my go to watch when I "walk on the wild side" (and we have many places here). A dear...
I prefer the mechanical one! :)
The other one has too many buttons for me to understand! ;) HAGWE Blomman
But since we don't have ...
Kurt Wallander here, in some places a Casio comes handy. Cheers, Nilo
so happy to see this Chronometer HF
I now can appreciate it with relaxation because soon I can play along with you in the vintage Chronometer HF world ;)
You got one?! :)
That is great new, CC! Congrats! :) Now you can join me in a game I call "poke the Vlad"! ;) HAGWE Blomman
The Inquisition took place . . .
. . . behind closed doors. :-) Just call him Torquemada. Or Tomás, for short ;-) . . .
Great choice.. Superb shot(s),great WS, with shades of blue & still some light on it !
.. Great choice as well - love this Chrono ! - One day you've got to show me this one in the real !! Best, & HAGWE ! hs
True! You need to know ....
Otherwise you will not know what you are looking at... :) Best Blomman
the greatest discretion...
only 36 brand is unknown by 99.9% of the population complication is unknown by 99% of the population my please is 100% ...
Simple,discreet and unassuming...
