WristScan

Can it be that I'm starting off this week's festivities?  I am coming by it honestly, as it's around 1130 Friday here in Seoul (even though back at home where I will be finishing Friday after flying back, it's only 1930 on Thursday).

Enough about time zones -- how about a picture?

This photo gives a sense of the diversity of Seoul, with the temple in the foreground, part of the sprawling modern city in the background, and river and mountains in the distance.  I've really been enjoying doing business here, and will be returning in another week for a 3-week stay.  No watch shopping yet, but it's only a matter of (ahem) time!

Hope that everyone is well.  Happy Friday!

Best,

. . . and nice wrist shot, too! You've definitely got the right watch for the occasion . . . cordially, Art

The Geo is one of my very favorites -- and as you say it is appropriate to the need!

Best,

Gary

It wants to go home... it better forget about that, I am keeping it right here ;-)

Today I am kicking off to the Hacker Series, and guess what I am one of the pilot ;-)

I wish you all a great weekend.

POY has 2 very big dogs...Please refer to the former Friday wear to appreciate the nice " Monster ".

So, if you want to save your bones...



Seriously, That is a serious competitor for the wrist shot of the day.

Best,

Nicolas

After that, may God saves those Judges' bones
Mind you it is a lose lose situation, Deepsea is still in shock... LOL

Thanks for making this a fun and fruitful Friday contest.

A very cool photo, Yves!

Apollo X - "Snoopy & Charlie Brown"

May 18-26, 1969

Altitude: 190 km x 184 km
Duration: 8 days, 0 hours, 3 minutes, 23 seconds  

CREW
Thomas P.Stafford, Commander
John W.Young, Command Module Pilot
Eugene A.Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot  

THE PATCH
"The Apollo 10 patch was based more on the mechanics and goals of the mission than the philosophy of the space program or of the astronauts flying this mission. It showed a big
Roman numeral X supposed to give the three dimensional effect of sitting on the surface of the Moon..."

Gene Cernan, Lunar Module Pilot.

That Omega full case was beautiful, but you right, too many and too much of the same.
I like some of them, so of the patched versions, I have Apollo X, Apollo XI and the one I had to have Apollo XIII
I hope to one day find the Apollo XIII white dial.

That's crazy, POY...

Now, your love for the Speedy seems to start again.

Strange for a non Chrono Guy...

Watches...They will drive us all crazy!

Best,

Nicolas

You are right, I am not passionate about chronographs, I had many but I did let go.  Now I am back on the speedy, something I cannot really explain because it is a chronograph, but I love its birth, history and evolutions.  Actually I will also get the latest one we saw... that one is to me a must have too.  But my current attraction for the speedy is more concentrated in neo-vintage and vintage.

I'm trying to avoid it for many years, but it seems I will fall in a very close future...

Damn..Never say never!

We all appear to be travelling again; Wandering Purists sums it up. I am over in Perth for a quick trip. Sorry, no cityscapes, but these are what I am wearing ...

I have alway liked the vintage Omega's....had some..sold it...will have em again ...for sure !

Great Double wristshot !

A dressy watch for the night, an elegant toolwatch for the day...That's the way to go!

Best, my friend.

Great shot, Andrew!  Do you often wear two watches at once?    I notice that some people do enjoy that.

It's fun to wear two watches occasionally, but I don't do it often. It's a little embarrassing trying to explain why to the 99.9999% of the world that don't 'get it'.

However, in the absence of a GMT or World Time complication, one can be set to local and the other to home time. And of course, if you can find the 0.0001% of people who do understand, even better!

Hi Andrew,

two lovely oldies you´ve got there - and sort of a proof that the really perfect things cannot be improved any more!

A question: Do you really both watches at the same time? (I would be too much of a coward to do so) Or was it just an arrangement for the WS thread?

Best regards and a good time in the West,

Hi Doc,

I can promise that any wristshots I post reflect the watches I have on that day, even if the photos are from the 'archive'. So, yes, I did wear both. It's not something I do regularly because, like you, I feel uncomfortable about explaining why. But for certain occasions I do. It's also easier to cover them under a cuff or jacket; I would think differently in summer.

Pleased you liked the watches.

Regards

Andrew
