Gentlemen, press your shutters, July 16-18 WristScan is underway
We are looking for images of a watch where the time is shown using BOTH digital and analog displays, on one or more dials; movements can be mechanical, quartz or a combination. See the preceeding posts here for examples of these analog (hands) and digital (jumping/changing numerals).
We have some new Judges this week, enthusiastically waiting for your entries!
Alfaleh= WRIST (watches shown on an real live arm)
Eklektic= STATIC (watches with props, no wrist)
and Echi= WATCH OF THE WEEK (wild card pick, chosen from them all)
Let's have some fun with this!
Go

Didn't want to be the first, but...
Here go a couple of hybrid dive watches, with great stories to tell from a great friend of mine who's both an amazing diver and naturalist.
While the watches aren't, the photographs are mine.
Hope you'll like them.
Really interesting theme, thanks Cazalea.
Yes,
Both are Aqualand models from different ages but the first one is THE Aqualand, a mith!
Cool Citizen diver ! ...
I had one of these years ago. Excellent watch, very reliable.
Always good to see a well used watch 😉👍
Been used as a tool as intended - really adds to the character of a watch.

I could not miss this opportunity
Great choice Vinnie! First version of X33 is present issue of astronauts at the International Space Station. You can´t go wrong with it. Hagwe! Abel
Retro hand mechanisms are fragile too
At least I felt that way on my Gerber watch — I was never quite sure that it would make that return journey.
You’re right. I’m waiting to take a trip to London to get this serviced. The stress from the jumping hour and retro hands has finally taken its toll on the movement - hopefully I’ll get there later this year.
Thanks …. this was a bit of an impulse purchase and is way different from all the other watches in my collection but fun to wear on occasion.
