Friday, 20th of February Wristscan. Free theme.
Please do share with us what YOU have on YOUR wrist, for the week end to come.
For me, the same Watch than from the beginning of this week.
Amvox II Platinum.
Among all the watches I have, this is one of those which has most of the wrist time. Once on the wrist, I just cannot take it off...
Up to you, guys and gales.
Have a superb week end.

That second shot of your is..........
......just superb Dogu! It makes me want to buy one:) Cheers Francois
Dogu, That GMT Makes Me...
... Sad that I let mine go. Jubilee bracelet makes this piece. Very nice. - Scott
Don't know about the rest of this week . . .
. . . but today will be . . . . . . the chronometer's turn to get a little exercise. ...
It's the beauty of my vintage collection, Nicolas . . .
. . . I can gaze at it for moments on end just for the sheer pleasure of its company.
Normally not one for skeletons . . .
. . . but Reversos are one of very few exceptions. There's an ineffable quality to them; almost as though that's the form they were meant to be. Art
Stunning watch!
You are lucky you have such a lovely wife that let you play with this one! :) HAGWE Blomman
Love the mystery aura of the 1st shot !.. Although I'm not really a skeleton lover,..
.. your wife has a very special marvel ! And you some compelling loan.. My Best to you and yours ! Best, hs
My single "rusty" ...
Team, Go figure. I love this GP: It may be because of the perfect dial balance or ... The weird case shape. A great weekend to all, Nilo ...
Very similar to . . .
. . . a Speedmaster Mk II. If I were a betting man, I'd wager the case manufacturers for Omega and GP were one and the same.
Funny that you mention....
The similarities between my GP and the Omega Mark II, because I don't have any attraction for the Mark II, because it dresses high on my wrist. The GP, on other hand sits flat on my underdeveloped wrist. Cheers, Nilo
GP have been masters of making comfortable watches for a long time....
And they still are! No matter which size, their watches always sits great on the wrist! :) Best Blomman
Good to see this one still with you, my friend! :)
It is a super cool watch! :) Best Blomman
Don't see any rust there......
..I only see a very attractive and pleasant watch with a beautiful dial. The good thing with this type of case design is that it is not too hard to figure out in which epoch the watch was produced;) Happy carnaval:) Cheers Francois
Is just my way ....
To tease a few friends that are vintage lovers, by calling their precious watches as "rusty". No offense intend, for sure and now I got my "rusty". Cheers, Nilo
Vintage GP today, tomorrow??
Maybe. Here are some fresh shots, now with new shoes and proper buckle. CC ...

Well, for this weekend, I'll go for KIS.. Keep it Simple.. ;))
.. Somehow felt, that one (special to me) of my Chronos should get some wrist-time, And for the two evenings, I chose 2 JLC classics.. Thus now, without further ado, here my chips : For daytime: Breguet Type XX.. One of my true loves For Sat. evening, thi...
Sounds like a packed weekend, h . . .

Yes, this is the famous Magritte's quote. Replace montre by Pipe. ;)
Thank you so much for your kind words, my friend. Nicolas
Yellow is the New Black...
After owning a copy of this watch for a weekend and having to return it because it did not work properly, I finally obtained a new/old stock Ikepod Manatee. Been wearing it constantly this week and probably for a while. Here is my new Manatee with my othe...
It's been a long time I didn't see a Manatee, even in picture.
Veeeery nice Watch, and original world time. Bravo, John. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas!
Its been a struggle for the last ten months to get this watch so I am really happy about it. Thanks again!
This is an unusual watch....
Ikepod Manatee! I had never heard of this brand, (I must be half deaf);) This really put into perspective.... "the canary in the coal mine"..:) Cheers Francois
Most intriguing, j - that strap doubling . . .
. . . as a case gasket is a first. Hopefully you've stocked a few away, as replacements from independent strap-makers are likely nil. Now, all you need is . . . . . . this. :-) ...
Art, you are absolutely right...
that integrated strap while essential to the design is the Achilles heel as well. I like my straps tight too, so we will see whether I have erred in length this summer. There are replacements available and definitely on my radar. I'm afraid that this car ...
They really hit the nail on the head....
with this model, it is a beauty! Wear it in good health. Regards Edward
She has been glued to my wrist...
and the other pieces are objecting! HAGWE! -- Richard.
Heading out to.....
HK this weekend and will be bringing these 2 with me. Have a great weekend! SF ...
Very nice Maitre.....
I definitely need to try one of these, the more I see it the more I like it. There is definitely something "intriguing" perhaps even "magical" about this Amvox which grows on me little by little. This is very dangerous indeed, unlike a "coup de foudre" wh...
Yes, you have to try it! A bit big, though, but you will be surprised to see...
That, despite its 2 extra mm, it doesn't wear bigger than the Duometre à Chronographe... This Amvox II has character, youth, originality...Released 9 years ago, it ages very well! Best, amigo. Nicolas
Ahaha! I have to come out of closet sooner or later;)....
You wear it very well my friend:)
Cool GMT shot !., 1 Q be allowed: Is this the black/ blue version (116710 BLNR)?.. Or any
.. other special edition with the grey colored (faded??) insert ?.. Best & HAGWE, hs
Vintage JLC Day and Date
I always find it difficult to imaging because of the light :) Have a great weekend my Friend Nicolas ...
I owned this watch..
I owned this watch for years and I like this model, but frankly you are the first person to give notice on the color of Dial ,I thank you so much my dear friend.
Thank you very much
I really did not notice the colour of the dial in the beginning. But after that I began to notice it. it is because I thing in vintage watches the colour of dial are merely by luck. It is possible that I find a watch with excellent condition but the dial ...
Sobriety for me this weekend........
A lovely watch, very comfortable and a nicely designed case. We haven't been together much lately, so I think that it's time for us get a little closer. This is a little too close though....................................;) Cheers Francois ...
Nice yellow, psfparis!
Never noticed the yellow minutes indicators around the dial before. Enjoy that watch!
Well, I just posted this elsewhere, so why not here - I will wear this tomorrow anyway..
... for a Lange event :-) Am I sarcastic? Nooooo :-) HAGWE! Ken ...
Hey, I am just speaking my honest feeling :-)
I will tell more when I see the actual one and compare with this! Ken

Aaah, R, you have excellent taste. This Double Date from JLC is a jewel.
Lucky you to have such a generous padawan as your husband. Time for you to come to Paris! Kisses, Nicolas
Have forwarded your kind words & greetings.. Coming to Paris.. Hmmmh.. ;))
.. Guess I will have to think about it quite carefully, - as otherwise it will not be easy to come up with 5 w's/5 days or stick to ".. Never leave with empty hands.. " :) :) Best, hs
Thanks for the participation Mrs. rws:
let me say that I find particularly elegant the stones on the braid of the mabè. About the JLC double date... a feast for the eyes and for the heart! Warmest regards, massi

We had an all too brief meeting . . .
