WristScan

As posted yesterday the theme of this week’s WS is ‘Coloring outside the lines’. So basically watches that don’t really make a classic of your collection or otherwise if your collection is very different from the norm… Surprising uses, unusual locations, ...  

I gave it some thought, and went through my pictures to find this picture, taken last year in Canberra. Some pink cherry blossoms blooming then, which brightened the landscape. This piece is the only piece I have with an unusual complication (deadbeat sec...  

Was very positively surprised when they launched it and it’s one of my favorite complications 👍🏻

Wish I came more prepared for this theme. If I could conjure up any watch into my collection to feature into this weeks post, i would likely post the following: 1) A meistersinger 1-handed piece 2) A jump hour piece .E.g Mickey Mouse Genta biretro Tokyo d... 

Good idea cookies.

Wish I had a Romain Jerome cartoon themed piece for this weeks event.=D

… that I’m sure will bring many awesome entries along the weekend. I will come back later today with some pieces that “color outside the lines” of my collection. Best cordial regards Abel

Looking forward to what you will show us 👍🏻

I'm sure we are going to see some amazing stuff! I am very much a dive watch person through and through with flyback chronographs a distant second but this one is the most left field for me: ...  

Pocket watches are a cool touch generally and nowadays very much outside the lines and this Seiko is a spectacular demonstration of that 👏🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

and a perfect choice for the theme.

Does its job good so far when i need it but not much soul in there. ...  

And very much reality nowadays. The only reason I have not engaged so far is probably the disposable nature of the product, which bothers me 🧐😊

but very practical and unusual.

Black glossy leather strap? Then it’s a dress watch. My father’s 1983 Omega Gold DeVille Ultrathin. 32 mm. My old motorcycle boot. My most comfortable and frequently worn footwear. ...  

Especially enjoy the 21st century officer look of the last shot 👌🏻👍🏻

I like the idea !

Superb photos !

And looking forward to your entries 👍🏻

Though about 90 percent of my watches have a manual or automatic mechanic movement inside I own a few quartz watches which can be considered as timepieces which color outside the lines of my collection. And I must recognize that in spite my preference for...  

And your statements made me remember the times when one could actually walk into a watch shop and walk out with a watch 😂 The Timex also adds a wonderful dash of color!

... "normal times" were just a few years ago and how -and why- everything changed so much and in such a crazy way. Let´s enjoy what we already own and what still is possible to buy! Lol! Have a nice weekend my dear friend. Abel

That’s one reason why I also enjoy independents, where demand is not being gamed 😊👍🏻

Have a nice weekend! Abel

That’s a cool Rolex dear Abel ! The Citizen Aqualand reminds me so much of many enjoyable diving trips over the years and friends that I meet diving. For many years it was “The” divers choice. The watch I can’t see is your X-33, I assume it’s outside the ... 

Yes, the second Rolex quartz was a lucky find a few years ago. I was talking with a friend owner od an AD when I mentioned my fondness for these watches and he said: oh! You like them? I have the last one in my vault for yesrs without selling. Is it possi...  

It could only happen to you … LOL !! Good to see your X-33, a real “tool watch” for the modern world.

Cheers my friend. Have a nice Sunday. Abel

Here's a vintage Longines stop seconds. Just an unusual complication. Colouring outside the lines - these beautiful cartoons by Liz Climo (formerly cartoonist for the Simpsons) really make my day. She doesn't colour outside the lines though! ...  

The watch is lovely but the combination with the cartoons is superb 🙌🏻👌🏻

and very creative. Well played !

i'm sharing 3 watches this weekend... firstly, a regulator then, a tri-retrograde seconds hands and lastly, a wandering hours thanks for looking, everyone! have a great weekend! ...  

I like the Patek regulator because of the dial.

And all three very nice! Possibly one of my favorite modern Pateks, simply due to being fresh in its design 👌🏻👍🏻

I particularly like the shots of you regulator watch.

but they don't make such watches anymore 😔

2021 La Semaine Louis Erard x Alain Silberstein ...  

Love this collaboration a lot

Beautiful piece with floating lugs

Excellent theme for this week!

Definitely a creation from outside the lines. Good choice for the theme Sfwatchlover.

It’s a special watch.

Here some from me . Really big watches aren’t my thing but i do love this Ikepod a lot and its pretty easy to wear on the wrist imho Most of you know my love for independent brands but sometimes you regret selling a old ,,big brand,,watch and when you get...  

The Millenary still with you? Not an independent, granted, but a truly cool piece irrespective 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻

Ever time i saw my friend and this Ap on his wrist a regrets selling it so i am happy i got the chance to add it again . Not a indie but def one I truly love

That fits the theme ! Great choices and photos Watchonthewrist. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain

The most unconventional and fun watch and also the thickest in my collection I normally dislike such thickness or quirkiness to such an extreme but I love this MAD 1 ! And then the thinnest watch I have at 3.85mm thin with a very well finished and enterta...  

And both supremely cool at that! With my general preference for thinness, I guess the Piaget just edges it for me 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻

Glad you like it buddy. Read you are feeling under the weather. Hope you feel better soon

Glad you like these

So the pushers can be in a bullhead position, too, when you use it as a stopwatch 👍🏻😊

I will join with a couple. Have a good weekend! ...  

Coming from opposite sides of the spectrum - would equally appreciate either 👍🏻🙌🏻👌🏻

Such are designs that keep our passion and interest going strong😉

Cool to see other members have the same situation. All mechanical watches, and a few quartz watches. I have this paradox. Feeling good wear my quartz watch. Albeit if i have the chance to wear one of my automatics, i quickly put on the delicate and sensit...  

I don’t think we have ever seen one on WristScan before. Outside the lines of the usual watches on WristScan, so that should definitely fit the theme .

Some watches develop an special attraction to us, regardless they are mechanical or quartz. I feel you don´t need to think in giving it away to a family member. Just keep enjoying it so much yourself. Hagwe! Abel PS: Thanks a lot for your kind comments on...
