my first contribution of 2015
hello Blomman, and my friends, although hardly put up post here lately, i won't forget this place where my watch knowledge and friendships have grown up. here is my first contribution of this year and this watch was my last purchase in 2014 btw. stefan ...
Hi Stefan. A real beauty and future Classic IMHO.
What is the diameter on yours? Really like the touch of red. Best, Tim
Ah, Stefan! :)
Welcome to the club! :) Wonderful to see you have found this gem! A must have in any Memovox collection! Huge congratulation, my friend. Best Blomman
thanks for warm welcome...
... i am very glad to find this one to join my memovox collection. as you said this is a must in the memo collection. in fact i have been looking for it for quite some time, but just timing wise has been not right. anyway, this is a beautiful memovox, ver...
Welcome to the club
Hi Welcome to the black dialled Memovox club! The one the surprise on the case back. I'm luck enough to have one too and its a fab watch. The black dial is sublime and view the view through the crystal back just as nice. Enjoy Cheers JML
black dial and see-through case back...
... these two main features are exactly the thing i am looking for, have managed to get it to join memo family. stefan
yea, need to use a suitcase to carry them all.
... btw, are you attending sihh. if yes, safe travel, my friend and keep us posted. stefan
With yours we'll need a truck. :)
Thanks for your kind words, Stefan. Yes, I am taking the plane tomorrow night for Geneva. All the best, Nicolas
Congratulations
An old photo but a lovely watch nonetheless. Great to see more is found among our community :) HAGWE Tyler ...
Tyler, i didn't know you have this one too.
... this is very sublime memovox. i am glad to join the community. stefan
Omega Seamaster NZL-32
I believe that's the only one here: Sold it and got it (not the same) again: A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
Of course ...
Otherwise, how I go to time my yacht racings? Cheers, Nilo Note: Disclaimer - I love the ocean, in pictures.
This one is very nice
I've not seen it before, but I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing this one!
It's an uncommon one ...
The chronograph module is reversed, along with the five minutes counter making a unusual watch. Cheers, Nilo
I wouldn't complain, either....
...ahhhhh! I wish!!!! A very nice one. Congrats! Happy new year. Ken
Just because
Hi everyone This one, as not only watch great - but its a half decent picture of it There's a lot to like about a Futurematic. HAGWE Cheers JML ...
The patina on the dial is great
Hi Looks great the dial is wonderful - the patina is fantastic. Its hard to go wrong with a Futurematic Cheers JML
Another one?! :)
How many weeks past without we saw one.... And now there are two in the same WS! :) HAGWE Blomman
Fair enough!
Had I know that this was going to be Futurematic week, though, I would have waited :) Best, Gary
Yes, you are correct, Gary!
My bad, I registered yours as a JLC entry in my mind.... Must be because I commented it also on the JLC forum! Hm, getting slow after the Holiday's! ;) Best Blomman
Beautiful case profile
Timeless and not having the crown on the side makes for a very balanced profile too. Superb!
Pheeeww !.. Love that one.. And now an even more compelling marvel !
.. happens to be the one type , I am still n search of... Wonderful piece, great on the wrist, as well ! One of these JLC timeless beauties.. HAGWE & Best, my friend ! hs My Porthole sends kind greetings from house to house ! Lovely vista !.. Famous build...
That porthole model is great
Hi If I were to get another Futurematic - thats the model I want! Really lives up to the watches name. Cheers JML
Thx for your nice words & kind looking.. Yes, it was directed into the future..:)
.. the Porthole is a very special, with her 2 round little "bull-eyes", one ( left) indicating the Power Reserve, the right other with a small second hand Finally, maybe a bit interesting to know, it's Cal 817/1, Ref E502, 37 mm diameter, screw-back; (min...
From this past week...
...in the lovely breakfast room at Le Bristol, Paris. Best, Gary G ...
A very nice surprise, Tyler! :)
Would look even better on a Sunny day! :) Best Blomman
Definitely appropriate!
We need a lot more daylight here this rainy season. Too gloomy and wet all the time.
Ah, nice pair with Darth.....
... I would like one, if I find one..... :-) Happy new year, fernando! Ken
Well that sentence could be...
finished in many ways :) but your Lange is one and only piece of perfection HAGWE Damjan
At traffic lights...
it's good to capture and treasure these fleeting moments for our enjoyment. :) Best fernando
Some watches that kept them years ago
This is the first time i share in Wristscan,Thank you very much my friend :) My first watch Longines in 1995 ...
Simple, yet full of the advanced technology back then...
... and important vintage example.... Very nicely maintained. Happy new year! Ken
Such a great watch! :)
Love the combo - looks very nice with the stitchless strap! :) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
I keep changing
the straps on this watch. Still not yet perfect, I want something more vintage looking but then it also needs to be 18/14 so it fits the correct buckle...
Nope, but growing
managed to get 2 in 14mm, Steel, 1 in 14mm Gold-plated and 1 in 16mm Steel all from the 60ties, but I need at least 3 more...
Wearing a Seamaster 300 ...
.. while driving the Traction ? WOW ... i'm jealous !! Great shot, great watch, great car ... Filip
Sorry for the wrong impression...
... unfortunately, I'm not driving that fancy traction, but an other - far more classic - old timer instead My current daily car... except on rainy day Thank you all for your kind answers BTW, very much appreciated as always ;) Best - Fred ...
Nope...
... something smaller ... ... some may say "minuscule" :D ... ... made in Italy of course \0/ ...
I was also thinking Citroen ....
... never been in an old Fiat 500 ... what a beauty my friend !!! Enjoy it to the max ! Filip
Thank you, I sure do...
... not to mention the cherry on top: this car is a real smile magnet, very comforting in these adverse times... Best regards - Fred
Excellent. Lovely" pot de yoghourt ". My wife's dream car.
But she is italian. ;) Best, Nicolas
Mine is spanish...
... but loves the italian style nonetheless Well, on second thought, who don't ?!? Have a great day - Fred Edit: No wonder, I will happily exchange it for your P1800 if it may please your wife ;)
Home office Friday
which more often than not means that I pull the good ol' Speedmaster out of the box. So it is on my wrist right now: Have a great weekend everybody! Martin ...
I knew you would ask. Just waited for that ;-) Here you are:
But I put it back into box after taking these pictures for you. It was indeed the Speedy who was with me today. Have a great weekend, mon ami, Martin ...
Glad to see a brother . . .
. . . in arms this weekend! Once again, congratulations, Martin. May you find many years of happiness with the Chronometer; this March will mark my twelfth year with the Karrée perpetual. Best, Art ...
Thank you so much, Art
though I have seen it only in pictures up to now I can understand well how that Karrée Perpetual was able to make sure of your appreciation and affection for such a long time. 12 years, that puts it into 2003 that you acquired this beauty. I memory serves...
Snow has gone here ...
.. but this has been stuck on my wrist for weeks now ... as usual ;-) Bim ...
The Snow are gone here as well....
But still cold.... Keep warm, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
Blue Monaco for the weekend
Takes me back to my early days of this hobby and this is one of the two that I've kept after all these years...with some new shoes :-) ...
I feel very happy this week having on my wrist a very special watch...
... that had been haunting my soul for several years. A true grail for me wich finally came to me last Tuesday (and as you may understand has been on my wrist since that day, and I suspect will remain there for the next weeks). I´m working in a little pre...
Aaah, Abel, welcome in the WT gang, my friend.
I am so happy for you. There are few watches which can move you like this one... Un fuerte abrazo. Nicolas
Hola Nicolas! Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes...
... this is just a sublime timepiece! I almost can´t believe it is mine! It makes me smile when viewing it on my wrist! It has soul... it has Magic! I love it! Un abrazo afectuoso, y muy buen fin de semana mi querido amigo! Abel.
Huge congratulation, dear friend! :)
That is a stunning watch! :) No wonder you wear it since you got it! HAGWE Blomman
Thank you for your words my dear Blomman! Yes I feel it will remain...
... on my wrist for many days to come! It is a new feeling for me! A Magical timepiece! Have a great week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel.
Sublime beauty
Hi SF, this is a lovely IWC Portuguese of yours. The applied indices and numbers are stunning and add a third dimension to the well balanced dial. If this watch were a good deal smaller, I might be tempted myself, but luckily (for my purse) it isn´t :-)! ...
Thanks everyone...
anaesdoc, do give it another chance :). At 42mm, it is not "small" but neither is it overwhelming. The design sits well on my wrist with a good heft. I changed out the deployment buckle to a pin buckle as the deploy isn't the best for folks like me withou...
That's a really nice Portuguese
One of the nicest of the collection, IMO, and the gold brings out a lot of warmth
Pure beauty
When everything is on the table, the simple and beautiful ones like this just stands out!
Well, let me see.. What I can chip in, here.. I can tell you..
.. there are several, during the last 2,5 weeks.. Once Xmas was over, I'd share this Vintage one : Rolex 1675 (1960).. Gilt, CR, PCR, exclam mrk.. Nice ! You have asked for my last watch - well it's not my "last" one, ( pun intended) but the latest acquis...
All the best....
To you and yours, my friend! Great trio to companion your through the weekend! :) Best Blomman
Kindred spirits
Hi Blomman, this was a very special day for me as I finally found a vintage Omega chronograph that I am hunting for a while. It strongly ressembles your GP specimen. This cal. 321 chronograph is in excellent condition and just that type of watch which I v...
Thanks, Nicolas for your comment!
I sincerely hope the worst is over in Paris and around. Although I do not particularly like the cartoons and the style of the magazine that was attacked, the crime is horrendous and my sympathy is with all those who were injured or lost some loved ones. K...
A compliment from you is a nice extra treat!
Hi hs111, thanks a lot for your kind words. Yes, I feel the same way about this watch, a long time desire of mine! Besides, your vintage Rolex 1675 and the brand new TT Geophysic are gorgeous! anaesdoc
since I had to go to the hospital today
for some small surgery the only thing on my wrist I can offer is this + Hope to have something nicer next week! Andreas ...
Happy recovery, Andreas!
Hope you will have a great weekend, even if in the hospital. Best Blomman
We really should have . . .
. . . a special award for those who post on Wrist Scan from their hospital bed. Nilo was the first; now you're our second Knight Hospitaller. Grazi, Andreas.

Taking the plunge with vintage V&C
My wife agreed to let me post her first vintage V&C wrist watch: Ref. 4108 from 1953 ...
Great watch and shoes combination!
Strap and shoe colour do match nicely. I also try to select matching colours for strap, belt and shoes. Are we exaggerating or are we sophisticated :-) ? Kind regards anaesdoc
Sometimes I think we are all nuts...
to match everything up, but it is fun. Thanks, Anaesdoc!
I feel the same way at some times about my watch business, ...
but al least it is a folly that does not harm others (if we do not a go beyond our limits). With concern to the matching colours (socks, trousers, shoes, belt ...), I believe like you it is much fun and simply looks better. Kind regards from a fellow nut ...
Watching the finals...
of Australia's Hopman cup with my faithful companion SINN 657 pilots watch. Regards Edward ...
This is a mixed pair...
effort and today USA plays against Poland for the trophy! Three matches total, one win for Poland one for the USA, one match to go. Very engaging. Regards Edward
My Lange-wannabe ...nothing fancy :))
quite surpried Citizen made such a nice looking watch, bought on a cruise ship. No batteries, no need to wind, just light sourceand it's a Pertertual Calendar! If this was released in the 80s Quartz era, I'm afraid Swiss watches will take longer to recove...
Interesting design....
A little bit of everything - both dressy and sporty... Best Blomman

:-) Thank you, Damjan!
It has been a fun weekend for me for sure. I've been waiting for a long time for this one. Best, CaliforniaJed
Triple beauty.
In particular, I love the lugs on these. They look like they could dance away with the watches! Best, CaliforniaJed
Thank you for your comment
I love these lug shapes ,too! Square, but nicely designd, I think.
GREAT! You will have to try to find the good hands for the gold Geophysic.
But for the rest, RESPECT! Best, Nicolas
Many thanks guys,
I am quite happy to add a new one to family. Very good watch for daily use. But yes, I have to find gold genuine hands....
Following wristscan's....
entries for a while, I must say that the photographs are mostly superb quality. And competing with such a personalities like Nilomis whose Catalog like entries are hard to match is not easy. Nonetheless there are my two attempts to present the beauty of m...
To compete with Nilo's photograph skills......
Is impossible! ;) But we all try each week anyway... Best Blomman
Thank you blomman....
some excellent photography on this forum congratulations. I am only an aspiring picture taker with a lot of room for improvement:) Regards Edward
Thank you very much for your kind words hs111....
I finally figured out my camera for macro shots! I hope to contribute more with time. Regards Edward
