Friday 26th of September 2014 Wrist Scan: What is on YOUR wrist?

 
 By: amanico : September 25th, 2014-07:15
Back to the Classic Wrist Scan, today. No other theme than the Watch on your wrist, while you are typing these words. Nice, ugly, tool, elegant, dressy, it doesn't matter. Show us all the Full Monthy! For me, JLC Amvox One Titanium. For you? HAGWE. Nicola...  

no surprise

 
 By: crown comfort : September 25th, 2014-08:06
it is the newly acquired Chroniometer HF However, I though the trick was to take a photo as closely as possible to 5pm Paris timezone on 25-Sep and not 6th of a month at 3 something ;) HAGWE (a little early though) CC ...  

LOL, and LOL. This is the watch I have on my wrist, but...

 
 By: amanico : September 25th, 2014-08:08
My cameras have been sent for a service.... :((( Best, Nicolas

Naah, you will laugh....

 
 By: amanico : September 25th, 2014-08:18
I have two, and I decided to send both of them ( 2 ) for a service.... Thinking that the guys at Leica would be sensible to the fact that a Moderator without a camera is not a Moderator.... It seems that I didn't convince them. ;) Best, Nicolas

Congrats on the HF...

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : September 25th, 2014-08:32
.....seems we both went down that path at roughly the same time! Very cool watch indeed...with some great history

New catch?

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 25th, 2014-08:31
Congrats! :) It would go very nice together with these....... Time to meet, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman ...  

new catch.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : September 25th, 2014-08:34
......and you know I think good things always come in 3s. Yes....i "need" a GTG..... for sure.

Three....?! :)

You have more confessions to make then?! ;) Best Blomman

Blomman.....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : September 26th, 2014-03:14
.....like you, I ALWAYS have confessions to make.

Like me? My conscience is clean...

No confessions to make! ;) But my sleeve..... that is another story! ;) Best Blomman

 By: Baron - Mr Red : September 25th, 2014-08:36
.....the start of a small foray into Omega for me. Its not perfect, but it is a joy on the wrist.

without trying to....

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : September 25th, 2014-08:39

I always say that about myself too.

Why do you all post pics of what you have on your wrist on Friday 26th since we are Thursday 25th ? Nicolas has opened another thread "Thursday 25th of September 2014, 5 PM Paris Time. What is the watch on your wrist?" which is the one appropriate now, is... 

No cameras for the moment, so I took an old picture of the watch currently on my wrist. ;)

. . . so I'm sticking with 'skeleton' hands. A shame, as the hands had their full measure of lume . . . . . . when I acquired the watch. ...  

Agreed, Nicolas. I let the watchmaker know that the external condition . . .
