Great Theme my dear Captain and a Grand Opening you made…
… bringing some noted style icons who inspire us.
Here is my entry beginning with L’Avvocato Gianni Agnelli and his particular and well known custom of wearing his watches and his flair for choosing his outfits:
My watch inspired by this recognized icon:
You know my fondness for James Bond character and specially for Sean Connery interpretation.
This man surely oozed distinction and style:
My watches inspired by Connery/Bond:
Daniel Craig is my second favorite Bond and he also brings a high style:
My watches inspired by Craig’s Bond:
Another inspiring icon with a more sporty and informal style is King of Cool Mc Queen:
Interesting to note he liked to wear his signature ref 5512 Submariner (and his other watches as well) on his right wrist.
My watch inspired by this icon is my Tiger dialed 5512 two liner from 1960 which I always felt it had a lot of stories to tell about its past adventures.
I wish you and all our friends here will like this selection!!
Have a nice and relaxed weekend my dear Captain and all friends!!

May I add another icon who inspires me?
Not only my Hero but also inspires me to wear more than one watch at same time!!
(I confess I often wear a watch on each wrist though never openly)
Cheers! Abel
True! Even in the candid shot showing him in T shirt shot drinking coffee during the filming of "Papillon" shows that coolness was part of his DNA. Best, Abel
What a great movie
I seen Papillon many times.
But i wil not ignore Dustin Hofman’s great play.
I set Papillon in my top 10 movies.

Hello Weems! Agree with you about Hofman´s play in that picture. Memorable movie and actors. Cheers, Abel
Agree with you my dear Nicolas. Not easy to wear three watches like Buzz does! Charisma and coolness are needed to do it with such natural attitude.
Un abrazo fuerte amigo mio! Abel
Thanks a lot for your kind compliments dear Watchonthewrist!
Glad you like my selection!

Thank you so much for your kind comments dear Captain.
Glad you like that old Sub. Not in the best shape outside but its movement keeps working … as a Rolex! In spite of its 61 years of hard work.

Gruen …
Rare to see this watch and I think it could possibly be the first time on WristScan.
Thanks for sharing it with us on WristScan.

You are right Shemmir. That is really the first Connery/Bond watch. Not easy to identify during the first scenes of Dr No but there it was before his Submariner was evident later.
Thank you so much for your participation and for bringing it here and share with us your nice example! Cheers and Hagwe! Abel
Agnelli, Connery, and Steve Mac Queen. You cannot beat them. I didn't remember you had such a beautiful PloProf!
Absolutely agree with you dear Nicolas. All of them had the cool attitude in their DNA. The PloProf: I had shown a few times here. I got is several years ago from the wife of original owner...
... through a friend of mine. The original owner bought it in Cayman Islands in 1978 brand new then in a well known Jewelry store (though the watch was made circa 1971). The watch was in almost unworn condition when I bought it and I keep it in same condition as I only wear it occasionally.
Un abrazo fuerte amigo mio! Buen fin de semana! Abel

What a line-up of icons, both for the tic-tacs and their respective uber-cool wearers !.. Well done, my friend !
Best again,
Thank you so much my dear friend HS for viewing and commenting. Real life and fiction offers some inspiring icons indeed. Glad you like my entry! Best cordial regards, Abel.

Each one an Iconic independent …
The VH is a wonderful watch. Well played Watchonthewrist.
I hope you have a great weekend.
You share three iconic Independents dear Watchonthewrist!
I’m specially fond of the VH though I would be very happy with any of the three on my wrist. 😉
Keep enjoying them so much my friend!
