Wrist Scan focus on chronographs . . .
. . . is up and running! Whether we use the chrono function or not, it's impossible to ignore the attraction. Nothing signals a fascination for watchmaking more effectively than a chronograph. And I'll bet everyone on this forum has at least one. Time to ...

Haven’t sent you post the Zenith or the FM before - some true gems you have there 👌🏻👍🏻
Your correct my friend, That Zenith I didn’t post before
I think I posted the FM already a few times 😉.
Arrrgh! Why did you have to remind me about Seiko's Flightmaster?! . . .
. . . on my radar many years ago, now nearly forgotten. Never see 'em anywhere - except here, of course. Thanks for sharing, Mike.
Those ten…
What a fabulous collection, Mike! And it seems that the P15 will see several entries this weekend 😉👌🏻👍🏻
Hello dear Mike! These IWC Chronos are true killers!! Last shot shows so tempting chronos. Not easy to pick just one favorite alone. I love the funky Seiko "Alien" and the GP WT as well...
... And... the WPS Zenith of course ... and ... May I keep choosing? Lol! Keep enjoying your wonderful collection so much!! Cheers! Abel
IWC Chronograph…
I always liked the design of this watch but missed out on it for some unexplainable reason 🤷🏼♂️ Good shots Mike !
Great Theme dear Art! You start with three classics from Omega! Chronograph is my number one favorite complication. As a matter of fact I started watch collecting with some low cost (but very nice) ...
... chronographs and a few bubbebacks. I have used them very little to time some "serious" event requiring timing but I often use them to cook my boiled eggs which I like with just 3-1/2 minutes in the hot water. Anyway I find to view a chronograph workin...
May I add a few more favorite chronos? …

No end to the parade !.. Again a well chosen little series !.. Your Vintages are really quite attractive.. Despite their undoubted appeal, on a personal basis,
.. I would rather take ( again as done for myself) the WPS CP-2 Cronometro ! Best again, 🙂🙂
OK, now this is beyond cool…
You really are a chrono master, Abel! And the at least 3rd P15 this weekend 😊👍🏻
Thanks a lot for your kind comment quatrro98! Agree with you: there was a golden era of chronographs in the 1940's through 1950's when these watches were tools in several...
... professions and trades or military use. For us collectors and watch lovers they keep offering charm and joy. Cordial regards, Abel
Vintage charm …
I really like your UG Compax on the Bonklip bracelet. The photo of it against the rusting metal is excellent. Well composed photographed Abel.
Thanks a lot dear Captain for your kind compliments.
I’m happy to know you like the UG and shot! Have a nice Sunday my friend! Cheers! Abel
Amazing selection Abel. I was hoping to see your CDV this week-end! :-))
The Tin Tin and the Ed White is pretty sexy as well! Cheers!
Wow, my friend !.. What a line-up with well chosen examples, 9 different watches in this list only !.. My absol. Fav is the Daytona, Panda style 6239 , but also..
.. the 321 Ed White and the modern Breguet type XX are quite compelling !.. - Continue to enjoy your treasures in the Best of your health ! Well done !! 🙂😊
Thanks a lot my dear friend HS for your always kind comments and viewing. Glad you like the choices. The vintage Daytona is a very interesting watch indeed being a 6239 the first reference of...
... this classic chrono. The Breguet is a very special watch for me, full of memories of Paris where I bought it. Of course it lacks the charm of your vintage model, but still I love it so much. Thank you for your words and good wishes my dear friend. Hag...
Two tropical Speedies, Abel? Now, that's what I call true dedication . .
. . . to vintage collecting. One would be enough for many, but to have an opportunity for two chocolate '69s would be irresistible even for me. 👀
This collection of yours is simply epic…
And the Cornes de Vache for me tops it all 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Reporting for duty.
AMVOX II: the end game chrono IMHO. Ingenuity of activation, materials and display (all with skeletonization) and depth. Sadly, it can’t stay bc of difficulty with wearability Grönograph: the wait, the wait! Hanhart 417 BZ (Green Body) Habring2 chrono Fel...
The Amvox II is a rare thing…
Namely a concept watch having made it to full production at a reasonable price 👌🏻👍🏻 Great collection you have 👏🏻
If the Speedmaster qualifies as the most distinguished chronograph design ever, then . . .
. . . Hanhart's 417 would be prominently vying for second. Thanks for sharing, Hussam!
I didn’t realize that I had quite a few until I looked!
Quite a range of styles - and a rattrapante is on the wish list 😂 Breitling Navitimer 1959 re-edition JLC Duometre The business end! Speedmaster Professional Speedmaster ‘57 (new 2022 re-edition) Baume & Mercier Riviera Flyback Vacheron CDV The calibre 11...
Agreed
In addition to my minerva a duometre and cdv would be perfect. Duometre for it's unique movement and the cdv for my favorite version of the lemania. Additionally a ALS 1815 chrono. 👍
I see where you’re coming from here.
They’re definitely classy - and more dressy. The Duometre is a real spectacle when underway. Then again, so is the Defy 21 with the 1 second sweep. Unfortunately this has the most uncomfortable deployant clasp I’ve ever come across. I’m hunting down the c...
I agree entirely.
More of a show than a rattrapante- even though I’ve got one in my sights 😉
Your Zenith does it for me. My wrist doesn't have the real estate . . .
. . . to support yours, but thankfully there are compact models emerging now; eventually, one will find its way into my collection again. Art
The model in black ceramic wears smaller than it’s 44m would suggest.
My wrist Is not large - just over 17cm with not a lot of area on the top. The problem I have is with the deployant - which is most uncomfortable. I’m looking to get the ceramic bracelet for this which has a double deployant which is way better.
Many thanks Abel.
They all bring a smile to my face - even if I don’t have the range of your amazing collection - testament to your taste and discerning eye!
