So spring has officially began, but not in....
this part of North America. It is freezing here; minus 8 degrees celsius with windchill. Despite the coldness my SINN 657 is warming up for the longer and nicer days!
Here are a few photos with my new strap.

Change of seasons - WristScan starts now!
Friends, Around our globe the seasons have started to change... Will that affect which watch(es) you wear or your strap choice? For me, Spring means more sports watches and lighter colors on the straps! HAGWE Blomman This message has been edited by blomma...
As soon as I get this one back home, I swear I will wear it...
And I will not change the strap! ;) HAGWE. Nicolas ...
Ah, you mean NEXT seasons change...?! ;)
But I think you will prefer the new strap...! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
To help me to wait, I will wear this one, and for several days.
It's been a too long time I didn't wear it. HAGWE, Nicolas ...
You got a nice muletto while waiting for your other timepiece! Lol!...
... I love this old Sub my friend, I can well understand your love for this one! Will help to make the waiting for your JLC sweeter! Un abrazo afectuoso, Abel.
Think that the pain in waiting will add to the enjoyment...
... once you recover it soon! beautiful watch my friend! I wish you´ll keep enjoying so much on your wrist! Un abrazo desde las otoñales pampas! Abel.
Change of seasons: A Bye to winter.. And friendly Welcome to spring !.. :))
Friends, yes these days skiing is almost over, daylight savings-time resetting for this weekend, and the days are longer already.. Skis go back to their boxes, out with bikes and Golf gear - everybody enjoying outside sunny hours, relaxing also in Cafés a...
Wonderful collage, dear HS! :)
And very match - love the shirt/watch combo with the 1675! :) HAGWE to the both of you! Best Blomman
Thx for kind looking, dear friend !..
.. And yes, it's often good fun, to match mood & ambiance, with the timekeeper chosen.. Am always happy, if Dr Mamadu is approving these choices.. HAGWE to you & yours, Best, hs
Beautiful and colorful collages my friend HS! Spring brings back...
... colors to nature and we follow suit with our watches (and clothing)! Regrettably here in the Southern Hemisfere things are reversed and we are beginning with Autum wich brings a bit of yellow and red to trees and leaves, but for a very short time, whi...

Voices of Spring
Tears from the Sun Hear the voices of spring blossoming :) Wish you all a wonderful season ahead... Cheers, Dogu ...
Again, love the first shot!! :)
The tears are located perfectly to enhance the crown! :) HAGWE Blomman
Same watch ...
.. was able to buy a 'i love Stockholm' wristband .. a NATO was too expensive .. but i got that black one from a dear friend ;-) Bim ...
Wonderful combo, dear friend! :)
I especially like the "I love Stockholm" band! :) HAGWE Blomman
As you know i am a member ...
.. of the Stockholm gtg club ... only problem is ... that damn Parisian fool stays in Paris all the time ;-) Bim
What happens in Paris ...
... doesnt necessarily has to stay in Paris mon ami ;-) Gustav Bimboö
You can NEVER go wrong with the LLD !
That's the true power of this watch, a real joy for a 'poor' mane like me :-) Bim
Well ....
If you want krisprolls we can always take a plane .... ;-) Stockholm is just two hour away. Gustaf ...
This watch never gets old!
I just put mine on a tan leather NATO. I like the look very much. Cheers, Daos
Unfortunately i'm getting older ...
.. and unfortunately it shows :-) .... But fortunately i never get bored with my LLD ! I have a few straps too but i do prefer the leather one i had made in Paris by ABP . Filip
LLD always spells "Bimbeano" everytime I see it! I love this watch...
... and you show a great picture with it! ... Always a pleasure to read you Bim! Cheers from a cooler Buenos Aires entering in Autum! Cordial regards, Abel.
Indeed a true Bimbeano-watch ...
Should buy another watch one of these days .. but i have to wait until i'm not 'poor' any'moor' ;-) Poor Bim
I'll do same as Bim
to chase cloud's away stop the rain and let the sun in Yours D ...
Yes and what's important
it is without the date ;) :) Have a great weekend my friend Sincerely Damjan
Today
It is raining all day :( but for tomorrow they say it'll be sunny So I guess I'll stay on the Yours D
Damain !!!!
Your LLD looks like it's never been worn ... i have been wearing it the past year probably some 350 days .. travel; work; leisure .... it's pretty beaten up by now if you have a close look .. and i think it's in need for a service :-) Bim
How about a change of . . .
. . . tires? :-) Time for a tire rotation today, which entailed driving into mrsnak's neighborhood. We met for lunch . . . [grilled fish tacos on corn tortillas] . . . and a few pints of ale in the middle of the afternoon. Unfortunately, all my pics of hi...
Fresh avocado, shredded cabbage . . .
. . . salsa, and grilled rock cod - how can you beat that combo? :-)
Ah, but there's the rub, Nicolas - this place . . .
. . . is a brewery! They craft their own ales on the premises. For fish tacos and Mexican beer, we'll have to go to the Ventura pier - they've got both!
Then we have a deal. Sounds like heaven, for a parisian.
Change beer for Maggarita, and we are in paradise. Best, Nicolas
. . . and if Seikos and fish tacos don't do it for you . . .
. . . perhaps a Grand Seiko and baba ganuj will ;-) . . . ...
The restaurant is in Pasadena, and one of the best . . .
. . . of its kind, Bill. There's a few Mediterranean places I know of all around town: Sherman Oaks, Glendale, Simi Valley, even Anaheim Hills. 'Sahara' in Pasadena is my favorite; out of the way, but worth the drive for not only the cuisine but also the ...
I like your way of...
Changing tires! Much better then when I do it..... Looks like you had a great time! :) HAGWE Blomman
You'd be even more impressed . . .
. . . with snak's vintage models. His early '70s King Seiko day-date is to die for . . .
This grilled fish looks delicious Art! As delicious is your Seiko!...

The 'Seasonometer'...
There is a vine under the upstairs balcony which, unwittingly, has proved to be a ‘seasonometer’ in the background of watch photographs. As it is the one spot on the property where there is little or nothing above it to ‘reflect’, it has subconsciously be...
It's the 'Maxi', of course...
...surely one of the most legible watches on Earth. It was bought as a complement to the 1846 Marine Chronometer, but this has since gone to live in Spain: The only complaint? The bracelet (which has a fantastic deployant ) is just a little too 'shiny' f...
The maxi is ...
probably the one watch I miss the most. As you mentioned, eminently legible and comfortable to wear with 200m water resistance and a rock solid reliable 2892 chronometer movement. I will probably end up with another someday.
With such rainbow on wrist
even Mozart wouldn't dare to argue Great selection mate but to tell you the truth although Kari is for sure the heaviest hitter among them one that knocked me out is your black dial zenith El Primero Chronometer One of best zeniths out there for me sincer...
Impressive display mate!....
Taking away the KV of course, which is playing in a different ligue, I love the MIH. You're a Duke, full of surprises;) Cheers Francois
Wonderful array of season changes! :)
My wristshot spot is also on the balkony! :) My neigbours must really wonder what I am doing reaching for the sky.... ;) HAGWE Blomman
Yes...
We have to be careful when we sneak out to take our shots, don't we? ;-) Cheers, pplater.
Beautiful scans
The light is the most important when dealing with pictures. Yours are fantastic and very nice to oberve. Hagwe :) Cheers, Mark
Changing of opposites
I rotate my watches very frequently, so a change of season is no special reason for me. However, here is a change over of quite a number of opposites: Changing from a Laureato 4266 TA to a Vintage 94, Ref 2550 means: From Bracelet - to - Strap From Octago...
We are convinced, your stable has many horses.. Liked the opposites as rotating pattern..
.. so although no changing pattern because of spring ( or whatever your season currently will turn into) - enjoyed your pic of opposites, and are wishing a relaxed WE ! Cheers, hs
A lot of changes....
But the most important remains the same! :) Great pair, my friend HAGWE Blomman
You are truly most
loyal GP fan around BRAVO! Thank you for reminding me about that awful clock change Sincerely Damjan

Green for the spring growth season
All watches out for new sunny season should be the word :) Nice choice Blomman. After a long period wearing the 5712 I was really willing to get my Speed back on the wrist. Have a great week-end everyone. Cheers, Mark ...
This version of the Speedy. ...
Is a great sports watch for the spring! :) HAGWE Blomman
Static shot
Couldn't find any proper seasonal wrist-shot, so instead I will share a 'Seasonal' story if the judges will allow it! Below you will find four pictures I took of a large Oak tree standing behind the house I grew up in. Even though I only see this view whe...
This is just amazing!
Wow what a nice series Well done National Geographic should hire you Cordially Damjan
Thank you!
Your words are all very much appreciated, hope this weekend finds you well! Best, Colton
Straps
There is no distinct seasons this part of the world north of the equator. Nonetheless I do play around with straps on my PAMs. 140 on Simona.... 87 and 268 on some reptile and stingray. Best SF ...
With this combo, the 87 has such a brutal look! I love a lot.
Cool to see an " Ingot ", too! Best, Nicolas
You have great selection of straps.
Looks like we have another strapOholic among us. Great choices. Love the sting ray. Bill
Very nice PAM - pics & cool straps.. Pls take greetings from a stingray cousin !.. ;))

we're just coming out of winter into Spring
and I can tell because despite getting less than 10 inches of rain each of the last 4 years, our "drought-tolerant" euphorbias are now over my head... in fact they are higher than I can reach and the roses are in bloom again Cheers, Cazalea (I've had the ...
Funky alarm
Very cool watch Mike So 70ies Lovely indeed Have a great weekend Damjan P.S. First portrait photo is another anthological picture
anthological picture?
I'm not sure what this means ... or did you mean anthropological? for which I am also not sure what that would mean, unless it implies we need to trim the garden .... as we have lost the picnic table and are about to lose the fountain. Mrs C is working on...
Anthological as in.....
a collection of selected (writings) cool pictures by one author anthropologically original ;) Yours D

Soon to be changed to a light blue strap when summer knocks on the door... or maybe orange! Cheers Andrew ...
Yup that's it folks we can close this weeks wristscan thread
Watch of the week Wrist scan of week and I'm sure that judges will explain sanely in detail why this is also static of the week :) In word of my favorite TV presenter... We have the bombshell!!!! Truly amazed Damjan P.S. I hope one day you'll tell us the ...
Hahaha Damjan!!
Thanks for your compliments and the writing, it has really made me laugh out loud!! May good entries... I am just satisfied on having the watch on my wrist. Cheers Andrew

I have to admit the Rolex 1675 gilt is never far behind.

No real season watch
Hi blomman, Spring tries its best here, but we still only see faint signs of it. The trees are leafless, the meadows still brownish, only some flowers indicate the upcoming season. But we habe a bit of sun though not really warming much yet. My associatio...
You are in good company, my friend! :)
Both Baron and Bill already suggested that Rolex is an "all seasons" watch! :) HAGWE Blomman
For sure a nice & matching choice !.. Wishing us all here in middle Europe that spring is gaining strength.. :))
Until then, just kind weekend greetings ! A nice GMT 1675 is always a color option.. Best & greetings to you & yours, hs ...
Thank you for your colourful shots and good wishes!
Hi hs, the Pepsi bezel adds a lot of colour to the watch, no doubt about that. I like it whenever I spot it on someones´s wrist, but I do not have the courage to wear it myself, so I stick to the black "stealth" bezel :-). My best regards anaesdoc
Thx for your nice words.. Can only say, I am pretty convinced..
.. Once on the wrist, you indeed might like it, - As the 1675 always is a joyous, almost exuberant choice, quite appropriate for daytime wear and colorful ambiance.. Thx again, for kind looking, Best, hs
We are entering Autum in this part of the world so...
... we are heading to gray skies, rainy clouds and cold in a few more weeks. In the meantime we are enjoying the warm and sunny days of first days of Autum, the change of color on leaves and trees, a very nice weather in this time of the year. I take adva...
Thank you Nicolas! Glad you like the shot! Black dial and brown sub dials...
... is a nice combo for sure! HAGWE my dear Nicolas! Un abrazo, Abel.
Great fall season watch, dear Abel! :)
Hope you will have a long fall before winter come... HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Thank you my dear Blomman! Glad you like this "Fall Watch"!...
... And yes, I also wish we can enjoy some good weather weeks before cold and rainy days arrive! Have a nice week end my friend! Cordial regards, Abel
Spring is on the doorstep
Not many blossoms can be found in Southern Germany so far, but winter definitely has lost the battle. Spring announced itself with a partial solar eclipse in Central and Northern Europe. What better way to celebrate that rare event than to use its soft li...
Great pair for the spring/summer, Martin! :)
Really like the sporty combo! :) HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Finally found a strap
that fully matches the quality, gestalt and the character of the Sport Evo. A great alternative to the perfect bracelet. Thank you, Martin
Yes, the polished and brushed portions
are finely balanced which adds to the elegant touch the Sport Evo has in spite of being designed as a sports watch. I swear next time I go diving I will take it with me so that it finally gets rid of the quotes :-) Best, my friend, Martin
