Just back from an intense week of traveling I have the nice surprise of my nomination!


I clearly have to work too much to be able to afford these watches...

But with photographs like this, where you cannot even see which watch it is...maybe I could save some money wink

For watch of the week my vote(s)

 
 By: Bill : March 2nd, 2014-12:15
This is always super hard to judge. At least for me I look at watch of the week and can close my eye on all the wrist shots and find just watch picks. Never easy so I picked these three. But in the end I went for the the picture that matches the the...  

Great choice, Bill! :)

Thank you, Bill ! A few years back I was playing arround in the kitchen and guess what.... JLC Year book + Master Memovox Copressor + Lemons....! :) Best Blomman

I could have swore the picture was live in California on route 66

 
 By: Bill : March 2nd, 2014-16:24
But your kitchen is second best. I love it. Best Bill

LOL! Got you! ;) [nt]

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 3rd, 2014-01:26

You got me as well ;)

I could swear that you were kneeling on the Route 66 with tangerines and JLC in front of you trying to make the best out of the Sun in Arizona :) That's one hell of mirage picture my friend Sincerely D

Hej, Blomman ! - you know how much I enjoy "The Lemon shot" and the MCM, we share ! :))

 
 By: hs111 : March 3rd, 2014-08:24
.. at some point, we should try a MCM Duo shot, also with the little dial differences between your 1st generation and my 2nd generation. Meanwhile the MCM, as peculiar its dial is for some ( fixed alarm arrow, semi-arc alarm dial), is a appreciated member... 

Absolute, my friend!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 3rd, 2014-13:30
We should do a pair shot next time! :) Spring in Paris....? Best Blomman

Thank You

. . . respo! "Hi Art, Lots of really cool Wristshots, but not many Static photos this week. The shot of the famous Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Memovox by blomman . . . . . . was very creative, and I like the location he selected. Very colourful and...  

Thanks, Nicolas

No mystery how it landed on my wrist ,is there? ;-)

Yes, a winner in my book! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 2nd, 2014-14:17
Respo's pic is just perfect for this theme and yes, beautiful and mysterious watch! Congrats! :) Best Blomman

Clever pun . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 2nd, 2014-15:08
. . . literally! :-)

LOL! Na, no pun intended...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 3rd, 2014-01:24
I think that Respo's photo is the one best suited for the theme! :) Best Blomman

Well deserved, my friend!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : March 3rd, 2014-01:26
You know that only the week before you got yours I was on one but in the end my bid was too low... Best Blomman

I know you will land a VC soon enough

 
 By: respo : March 3rd, 2014-06:04
...and once that happens...watch out! ;-) Best my friend, respo

Thank you very much!

 
 By: respo : March 2nd, 2014-15:07
I am honored and especially grateful for the kind words from GEO and. Art. GEO, that was a great guess on this mysterious watch. It is in fact a V&C Prestige de la France from the early 70s, first created in 1972, which I maintain was a milestone year... 

Fun challenge this week.

 
 By: jporos : March 2nd, 2014-17:19
Congrats in order to everyone who participated!

Perfect choice for the theme. Congrats Respo ...

And on the watch as well. Love it as well as the current masthead image. Andrew

Thanks, Andrew

I feel very lucky to have found this watch after an exciting hunt. Best, respo

Huge congratulations to respo

 
 By: stromer : March 3rd, 2014-09:36
The picture of his Vacheron Constantin is really a worthy winner. It is really mysterious. I knew the subject of this weeks wristscan when I first saw this picture and still asked myself: What the heck is that? First I thought of a cufflink. Please don't ... 

Well, Martin, you were not far off...

 
 By: respo : March 4th, 2014-07:15
These cuff links came with the watch (Prestige de la France) in the Wristscan photo. Thanks for the kind words. respo ...  

Aarghh! Big time screw-up, folks . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 2nd, 2014-15:24
. . . I asked Ian to judge Wrist Scan, but then switched categories when I posted the judge's dockets. My apologies to Ian for the error; I've asked him to re-review the thread and make a decision for Wrist Scan.

We only wind-up on PPro, Art. ;-)

 
 By: AndrewD : March 2nd, 2014-18:28
Although the 'time' part is correct. A

. . . and finally, the decision for Wrist Scan . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 4th, 2014-13:12
. . . goes to Ken! "Art, Here are my picks. In third place, fernando's Daytona. Cool pic of the not so mysterious Daytona with the mysterious Merlion in the background. In second place, sanro's PAM. Great wrist shot. Awesome location. In first place, Ken'...  

Congrats to the winners ....

 
 By: bimbeano : March 4th, 2014-14:31
Ken's Speedy was my favorite too ... as far as i remember (ooch, that hurts .... ) ... Bim

. . . and a hearty "Thank you" for the inspiration . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 4th, 2014-15:07
. . . and input, Bim - this thread wouldn't have been possible without you. Art

And ..

 
 By: bimbeano : March 4th, 2014-15:26

Ken picture has it It's certain melancholic serene panache in that shot that makes it outstanding Greatly executed no doubt Looking forward another 48 HRS ;) Best Damjan

Oh, my! Thank you so much! It's getting harder and harder to be even nominated these days and this is surprising! Again, thank you so much, Ian, and all! Ken

Thank you, Art! Better late than never!

It was the exotic location . . .

 
 By: Dr No : March 7th, 2014-09:33
. . . that added to the element of mystery, Juan. Next time I'm in Big Sur, I'll take a few wrist shots amongst giant redwoods just in case we have a repeat of Bim's theme. Cordially, Art
