this retrospective is a brilliant idea Art and its an honour to be on it more than once
i notice that there are a number of multiple winners which just shows that they have a slight edge on their photography skills and an excellent imagination which is also important to make the pics interesting. roll on 2014 as i'm already on this years ret...
Thanks Art
for the nice work putting up this nice Flashback of 2012, may be you should who are the top 3 repeat offenders. Cheers,
There were more than a few . . .
. . . recidivists in our ranks, Quan. Right off the top of my head, Anders and Livius come to mind, as do Nilo and ArthurSG. Next time I'm at the Post Office, I'm going to check the FBI's Most Wanted list to see if any of them have their photos on the wal...
That is heck of a watch selection. Great pieces and some stunning photos
I suspect just a small selection of our wonderful hobby Thanks again for letting me play with like minded "obsessionalists" Julian
Shoot! (this is embarrassing) I totally missed that I had won on 23 December...

Great selection for scan of the year.
And what a fun retrospective. Thanks for putting all this together Art. JerryW
WOW !! I enjoyed this thread !
And a clear winner as i still remember this picture very well ... great watch, great atmosphere. What better location to do a wristshot than a trainstation where time is what matters most ... Bim
Geo, bravo. If you want to do me a favor...
Please bring it with you next time we meet. This one and the famous Cartier! ;) I would love to organize a photo session of these two marvels of yours. All the best, Nicolas

2012 year awards
are just cherry on a very big beer cake in pool hall ;) Splendid year behind us let's this one provide as much pleasure as last one Sail away Captain! Sincerely Damjan
How did you know . . .
. . . I was just on my way to the pool hall, Damjan? ;-) Today's "Happy Harry's" birthday . . . I hope he wins a frame or three! Best, Art
Just found this honor!
Many thanks to the judges, and of course to all of the participants who make this weekly get-together both beautiful and fun. 100 percent credit, naturally, must go to the Gentleman Purist who permitted me to photograph this watch and even encouraged me t...
Thank you for summarizing 2012 wrist scan...
... time flies! And good work, everyone. Thank you, Art for your hard work putting the masterpiece pics together. Best, Ken
Thank you for making the effort . . .
. . . to be here every week, Ken - it's truly appreciated! Art
Thank you, Art!
For this walk down "memory lane 2012"! :) A year full of wonderful watches, hope 2013 will be even better! Best Blomman
Thanks Art for making 2012 look so enjoyable.......
And to ALL the 2012 finalists, may I add my personal congratulations. But a special mention to Sam, for his stunning photo of the IWC :) When I saw it again just now, I had to marvel and the clarity and beauty of the photo :) Thanks HAGWE Tony
I only compiled the results, Tony. The hard part . . .
. . . was performed by the community in creating the images, and let's not forget the truly difficult task of judging the results. My hat's off to those judges who deliberate over several equally worthy contenders and still manage to come to a decision.
Jewel in the crown
Or cherry on the PuristS cake. Thanks so much for bringing these images together in the one place, Art. I will reproduce here what I wrote on the HoMe link: "For many of us the highlight of the week is the Friday 'wrist scan' thread. We have been running ...
I might not make . . .
. . . the weekly 3-ball tournament for one reason or another, but the Stones would have to be playing LA from Thursday till Sunday to miss Wrist Scan. :-)
Superb roundup Art
It's quite a breathtaking line-up when you see it all in one big thread. Alway fun to participate and thanks to to you for keeping order and making sure the right people get the money. If only people knew what went on behind the scenes. <iframe width="...
LOL!! . . .
. . . yeah, assassination, revenge, and watch widows - The Long Good Friday Wrist Scan would be a great sequel!
You've been cast . . .
. . . to reprise Hoskins' role. Damjan will be the courier ;-) . . .
I'm being cast . . .
. . . in Jackie Gleason's role . . . . . . . for the re-make of The Hustler ;-) . . .
The Long Good Friday is such a classic
British crime film. It's not as hyped up as this US aimed trailer makes it - but I thought it was very funny. It's one of those English films that holds a strong place in many British filmgoers hearts. "For more than ten years there's been peace - everyon...
Funny thing is, I remember seeing the film . . .
. . . during its initial release, but recall practically nothing of it. On the other hand, Robbery , which I also saw during its initial release many years prior to the making of The Long Good Friday , is still etched in my memory, and I would've been abo...
