Wow !.. Apart from the others, (all lovely) in the line-up, these PPs are simply superb! !
Also like the Double shot with the Aquanaut; low key & unobtrusive. - This one
keeps the head down, just for the cognoscenti, in a way..
Thx for your share, enjoyed your tic-tacs & the pics !
Best, hs

Wristscan - “Time To Enjoy” - LIVE ! ...
Welcome to WristScan dear friends, This weekend our theme is “Time to enjoy”... The theme was inspired by my conversation with a member of our community when discussing the balance between preserving and enjoying our special watches. A big part of the sat...
Hmm, so I think I will start 😁
One of my first watches, when I joined the watch forum in 2005, was Seiko SKZ209 - I was really impressed by the quality/price ratio. Then I discovered vintage pieces and I owned many Lord Matics, flyback chrono, Grand Seiko and King Seiko. Especially las...
That’s a superb King Seiko Filip ....
It deserves to be celebrated on Wristscan. I would love to see a few more shots over the weekend of this one if you have the time. Thanks for joining us Best regards The Captain
Superb KS Filip!! I can feel and understand your...
... excitement with this new catch! Agree with our Captain that it deserves some additional shots if you have the time! Enjoy it so much! Hagwe! Abel
Keeping my eye on KS . . .
. . . and hoping for a black dial without calendar function. Had my fair share of Seikos and Grand Seikos over the years, but itching for a King. Art
I've been looking at vintage on eBay, Cap, but . . .
. . . in a curious twist would prefer NIB. If any watch deserves to be considered a bargain, KS is it. They deserve our affection and attention for crafting excellence at an affordable price.
Nice shot indeed...
And a reissue I also decided to go for (picture lower down). That one definitely benefits from natural light and time to appreciate fully 😊👍🏻
Switching it up for summer
Just received a new strap for the summer! Would have been easy to label this as a dress watch but this “funs it up” ...
Definitely “Time to enjoy” this beautiful watch ...
I think the new strap works well and changes the look. Have a great weekend 🥂
What a beauty Timeup!! Love these straps!
They really add to the charm of this awesome timepiece!! Hagwe!! Abel
Wow.. What an eye-catcher !.. I simply love that Voutilainen craftmanship & design codes !.. The visual effects of the various Guilloché fields are extraordinary ! :))
In addition, that strap selection is a bit exuberant, but really lifts the spirits of the dial with a “ Bang”, IMO ! Congrats to such a fine piece and continue to wear it in the very Best of your health ! Superbly chosen and great pics, as well, almost ne...
What I've been wearing since '83...
...the Sub is a great beater as it was meant to be...the very definition of a tool watch. ...
I stumbled upon this one 15 years ago
and only realized much later what I had gotten into: Then this one came along and now I have a contest which one to favor... Both are about the same age and the geiger counter records a similar radiation for both of them... So sometimes, the flip of a coi...
Wow Richard ...
That lollipop seconds hand has blown me away.. Please tell us more about how you came to own this classic 2998.
Thanks Captain!
It's a very basic story on the 2998: I stumbled upon it on the auction platform in the old days when we hardly knew anything about these and the seller description was very vague. My main reason for me to buy it was the bracelet - of all things! How "illi...
That’s a good story....
Those were the days ! I was going to mention the Heuer, it looks superb with a perfect bezel. I would love to hear how you came by this one.
Acted fast and paid dearly
It was on a German dealer website and I nailed it within the blink of an eye after it popped up. Just lucks to be at my computer at the right time. Been told that there were several others just a bit slower than I was... Cheers RIchard
Vintage week
Hi All I've been mostly wearing my Bellmatic this week Shot from today on something else that relys on springs and gears. Finally everything is better with cake 😋 Cheers JML ...
Hi JML ....
Your black and white Seiko wrist shot is superb. Thank you for joining us this weekend. Best regards The Captain
Our cake dish is empty - thank goodness for . . .
. . . farm-fresh loquats! Delivered last night from Uncle Jake's orchards. You haven't lived 'til you've had fresh loquats and coffee for breakfast ;-) . . . ...
Now I am looking forward to discovering this life 😁
I have coffee very rarely but the other thing...
Come to So Cal in late April or May . . .
. . . to discover the pleasure of feasting on loquats right off the branch. Uncle Jake has several trees . . .
Hello dear Art! A Connie is always a great choice...
... specially with a dial with those awesome hour markers of yours! Have a nice weekend my dear friend! Cheers! Abel
That Bell-Matic is a wonderful piece 🙌🏻
And the cake a wonderful, if very ‘temporary’ companion 😉
That’s a marvelous vintage Seiko dear JML!
I feel equally enjoyable with or without cake! Lol! Hagwe my friend! Abel
I enjoy my new watch, Nivada Chronomaster reedition
Got it a few days ago. No thoughts about preserving at the moment. ...
No Switzerland since 2019, eh?
Great shots and would like to hear some impressions on the Nivada, once you’ve had it for a while 😊🤞🏻
I still remember one night in Dresden, six years ago.
The lounge in the hotel which I stayed in allowed guests to smoke after 1100 pm. I was sitting there alone, staring at my watch, just waiting for the moment to come. Around a quarter to eleven, all those good gentlemen began to knock their tables using th...
I have no idea what that was all about ...
but I like it ! ... Wow that’s a great story to go with your photo Joffre, can you tell us any more ? Best regards The Captain
Thank you, dear sir. People may call us tobacconist, but I used to call myself “aquoiboniste”.
p.s. I think Serge Gainsbourg must be sipping a cigarette when he wrote that song.
Out of some..
Out of many watches, these 2 are the only ones I have actually bought from members of this community Best and have a great weekend Hans ...
Hans ! ...
Welcome to Wristscan with your superb Omega 300M, one of my favourite watches from Omega. It looks very good. How long have you had this one ?
I'll join you with a third Omega, Hans . . .
. . . that just came back from my watchmaker's shop today. This '58 ref 2852 was my third Omega, acquired over ten years ago to complement Black Connie. It was serviced by my then-current watchmaker in 2010. Mr B (his first initial really is 'B', but it m...
Black Connie's sleeping in the safe deposit box, so it'll be awhile . . .
. . . before I can get a side-by-side for you, Nicolas. But it will happen soon . . .
I treat a freshly serviced vintage as though it were a special occasion . . .
. . . with undivided attention for at least a week, sometimes two. So far, White Connie appears to be performing quite well, a second or two ahead after eighteen hours on my wrist. If this level of performance pans out, it will be the first time it's perf...
Definitely one for the collection Art ...
It looks jut the way I like them. Gently enjoyed by a caring owner. The balance staff is a common problem for us collectors, many incorrect ones used over the years.
The roller table was also an issue according to Mr K . . .
. . . but he was able to correct it with 'massage'. If timing results aren't to my liking, we may revisit that part (#1324) in the near future.
Absolutely great Connie, with a cool elegance yet some sporty tints.. Thx also for the tale of the watchmakers !..
Great, that meanwhile all has been in hands caring with excellence, it appears. HAGWE & Best, hs.
I always say there's three specialists a guy's gotta have: a dentist, a mechanic, and . . .
. . . a watchmaker. And not necessarily in that order ;-) . . .
Beautiful Connie and a cool story...
Although I can imagine it being a lot less fun between B and F for you 😉
Two beauties indeed!
And a great example of the other wonderful aspect of our community 👍🏻
I try to enjoy them all and give them all the same amount of love (which is difficult sometimes)
This weekend on my wrist one of my latest arrival The new BB58 silver. ...
