WristScan

The title says it all for this week's theme. This is the one for me. More than 40 years old, but it is never "classic" look. Can wear for very wide range of occasion - from business to casual. Very thin, could be stealthy, but with polo shirt it doesn't s...  

Here's an old friend, my first JLC, and guaranteed to elicit smiles. Of all the JLCs I've added since this first, none attracts quite as much sincere interest and compliments. It's big, colorful, cheerful, and playful. While other watches I've owned draw ...  

Understandably fun one for anyone! Thanks for sharing! Ken

Great watch - and summer combo! :) Best Blomman

Time to write soemthing about it? Best, Tim. Nicolas

... both for colour matching with the blue dial accents and for comfort with the thick JLC case. No wonder you get so many compliments. Nicely done. Andrew

older JLC is also a fun watch that I travel with and really enjoy. It is always well received by fellow travelers and the vibrating alarm has done its job of waking me before landing, getting off on the right train stop in Japan and catching a quick nap b...  

Nicely worn and that must be pleasure for the watch, too. Thanks for sharing! Ken

Here in the forum! :) Wonderful, Tim! Best Blomman

That Grand Reveil is a very cool watch. I think that if I had to pick just a handful of watches to introduce a newcomer to JLC, this one would be be in the mix. The combination of a steel case, dual-mode alarm, comprehensive perpetual calendar (years and ...

sent to me. It is my watch but cannot be considered for judging. Best, Tim

This simple watch is the watch that I wear most and like the best, because it is so versatile and ideal during travel. It goes with any outfit and it gives me the least problems. HAGWE gents! GEO ...  

I have to see this model with different eyes from now on! Thanks for sharing! Ken

sublime shot so fresh ;) Best D

Wonderful watch - would love to add one, one day...! :) Best Blomman

This one! Why you might ask... Because it's a tool watch... ;) And I think Girard-Perregaux really nailed it with this one.... ;) On the wrist it's all sunshine... ;) And for me it's pure LOVE! ;) HAGWE Blomman ...  

And a lot of fun on the wrist! ;) HAGWE Blomman

Thank you for your kind words! :) Best Blomman

You see this one in the metal! :) Best Blomman

ask myself same thing as Joker in the end Yours D

Workshop as the other B-man! ;) Best Blomman

... really set off a great watch. Love the photos, and the GP. Thanks Blomman. Andrew

It puts a smile on my face every time I get her out.... Great theme Ken, Andy. ...  

.. I have had that in mind, too..... if I had one! Ken

Your original is also a stunner and in beautiful condition. Yours, Andy.

I sometimes can't believe how lucky I was to be offered this piece which is a complete dream piece for me. Yours my friend, Andy.

Makes me smile as well! :) Best Blomman

to post a picture of a watch you cannot wait to own, one that you know you will be proud to own? Because surely the CHopard LUC 1963 Chronograph PuristS Edition fits the bill! If it has to be one I own, it would surely be this one: I knew from the instant...  

... that's fine, too :-) Wish you could have taken your own pic, though :-) Hope it get to you as soon as possible, my friend! Ken

is connected with fun even subconsciously :) I had such a great fun these few day with friends in Paris when I received it from land far far away... land that A.R.Wallace described best ;) Best & HAGWE Damjan ...  

Thanks to you, my friend, I have realized this model. A very nice fun watch! Ken

most of them Langes you helped me realize this is least I could do Thankfully Damjan

that I'm very kind ;) yours my friend D

I found out that my Nokia Lumia 920 makes perfect "light tent" :) Yours truly D

but you adjusted it to my wrist in blink of an eye ;) Gratefully D

Wouldn't mind owning myself! Best, Ken

As I'm biased...HeHe

I was not aware of this version of the GS. Looks great! Interesting hands on this watch. The seconds hand has the luminous dot on the short end. Not often seen! Best Blomman

Its true it is interesting to see the luminous dot on the short end, why do you think that is? S

For me this Nautilus...not the PP...the Longines... Matt ...  

Thanks for sharing, Matt! Ken

. ....as there are times when ONLY a Panerai will do.... ...  

.. understandably fun watch, I agree. Thanks! Ken

Anyhow, a watch for many seasons.. Best & HAGWE ! hs

We do not see these ones very often! Stunning watch of the first/second commercial launch right? GEO

Have owned it for 4-5 years now. There are days when ONLY this watch will do.

.....it is calling to me now!!!

....rather than change daily, i change weekly now. Enjoying that process more.

Mickey has been blessed over the years to have worn some of the very best: PP, VC, AP and Lange. However his first love has always been Omega. As we know you love the one you lost the most ;-( Mickey has owned and traded away 2 of these in the past. He re...  

This is one of the Lange's I should have acquired..... Maybe some day... Nice one. Ken Any story behind this?

The wrong sign in the background! ;) Great watch! Best Blomman

Often fun and subsequently pride for a collector is not only possessing a watch but is for me also the process of desiring a watch, searching for it, wrestling with oneself, finding it, acquiring it and then taking possession. So I want to show one piece ...  

When it was unveiled I wad not impressed at all, then I started to appreciate its outdated look, very charming! Best, CC. Nicolas

In white gold, manual wind, no date window, I think that hits all your buttons?

... congratulations for having the foresight to pick up such a piece. Uncommon as you say. The date position is very rarely used in watch design and the curved case and long flowing lines are beautiful. I wish GP would put a solid case back on these recta... 

Thanks for sharing! Ken

Congratulation on getting this one! :) Personally I prefer your Vintage 94... But, you did the right thing here and got both! :) Best Blomman

It's always a pleasure to wind this watch, feeling the gears and seeing it to "pulse". Add to this, the fact that is a gorgeous watch (IMHO). Team, here is my IWC Portuguese 5454: The beauty of the movement: And finally a "Blomman's styled" wrist shot: A ...  

.. Elegant but also black Top Gear.. Guess, also quite vesatile.. Great choice, Best ! hs

I'm very attracted by the IWC Portuguese line. The clean style, the big size, coupled with a relative thin case of the 5454 makes a very nice watch, IMHO. Cheers, Nilo

with touch of Nilo (B&W touch) that is indeed superb IWC A keeper I hope Best D

Strict keepers. Cheers, Nilo

... just yesterday on a wrist across a crowded restaurant at lunchtime! Very characteristic and it looked fantastic even fro several meters away. Great choice. Andrew

Here and all my trips, I never bumped on one. Cheers, Nilo

.. wonderful! Ken

And I love your last shot! ;) Best Blomman

I believe that my accountant already paid the Blomman's copyright fees. Cheers, Nilo

.. as we all probably have several candidates, But this one has a special place in my heart Because she is indeed a fine watch, I had been hoping for when our paths crossed. Also, as she came in a complete set, whereby as well part of the first owner's st...  

And, what I like is even my contemporary XX version has the same DNA as your vintage. The hands, etc. hats off to Breguet. Best, Joe

Has a lot of personality and character, love it :-) S

You know all that so well.. These hilarious days, maybe to be relived again Best, my friend hs

Vive La Framboise Libre! :)

- Vive la vie "fluide" :)) Best & Thx, my dear friend ! hs

vintage XX. GEO

... would be great to own this one! Ken

First, is my VC. I had wanted a dato perp for many years. And I kept on vacillating between the features I wanted and the look. I finally went with the one that combined the majority of the ingredients I wanted. Nd what a winner to me. I use it in all app...  

Well, the 1815 EL is in my collection for almost 4 years, now ,and it is a big love affair. As for the QP Chrono from VC, this is a Watch which always made me dream. This Watch has all, and is a serious competitor to the Patek Brother. Bette,r I think I p... 

... very nice moonphase sky and yes of course Lange 1815MP Original.... :-) Both good! Ken

This one. There is a lot behind this Watch. Best, Nicolas ...  

But I still thought your might choose the MR Yes, Monsieur JLC, Polaris is you. Hagwe Joe

For me ... easy as always ;-) Bim ...  

.. that's the secret to my succes ... Okay, you can send the ambulance now ;-) Bim

Amazing how a simple watch does the trick Hagwe Joe

I would loose... But I would love to have us three in the same room! :) Best, my friend Blomman

. . . 'em! :-) . . .

. . . I'm more proud of than others, and others that are more enjoyable than the rest, but I've never really thought about the one that covers both until just now. It's a tossup between my first Karrée perpetual . . . [image from 2013] . . . and Black Con...  

. . . that haven't heard, Black Connie is less than a fortnight older than myself. We were both 'released' at roughly the same time! Little wonder I'm so attached . . .

Both are great, want-to-have watches.... Nice treasure. Ken

HAGWE! -- Richard. ...  

. Speedy is eternally the one! Ken

I love this piece! HAGWE, -- Richard.

Looks great, Richard! :) Best Blomman

The 1957 is one of my favorite warm weather pieces. Best! -- Richard.

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

.. and I LOVE it! Ken

... much fun from wearing! I got much pleasure of owning and wearing my watches, and it is difficult to chose just one. Anyway, for this W/S I chose one which always makes me smile when wearing it, I´m very happy and proud of having the chance to get it, ...  

I will cross my fingers for both teams! Ken

I hope it wishes you and the Argentinian team luck Best, Matt

Let's hope tomorrow will be fun! :) Best Blomman

Benzinger "Flower power" watch HAGWE! ...  

.. I wouldn't get tired of looking at it whole day! Great catch and congrats! Ken

This piece is just been overhauled.

Hello Ken, this watch is nothing particular or special in terms of "haute horlogerie", but it best fits my taste of a classic men´s wrist watch: It was nicely refurbished in Biel and I am sure it will not leave me without a very profound reason that I can...  

.. oops, yes, I know the seven deadly sins.... Let me rephrase, "the watch you have most fun owning and wearing" :-) Great watch, indeed. Ken

Reminds me of a good line I once overheard in theatre (surgeon to nurse): "You shall not not do what I say, but what I mean!" Best regards anaesdoc

I will try to live up to my watch´s attributes :-)

Your vintage Memovox is a stunning piece, both classic and sporty in style - a great watch! Kind regards anaesdoc

Thanks for your compliment, blomman! In my opinion Omega was at its best in the 50´s and 60´s of the last century concerning the quality of their movements and cases - and all that reasonably priced. Well, I must be a true nostalgic :-) Best regards anaes... 

Ken, the RO is a must have that I'm always thinking about... As for myself, the one I'm most proud about is the DB25. Because it's an Indy, because I love the spirit behind the manuf. and because its style and mechanics are particularly appealing to me. H...  

.. blue hands, and touch of red.... Gorgeous watch..... Thank you! Ken

They are indeed perfectly crafted and designed. I must say I prefer them with white metal, not that much with red gold for instance. Thanks Ken! Cheers, Mark

... but was not sure from the pic it was white metal :-) Completely in agreement! Ken

Thanks for the nice words hs and have a GWE too! Cheers, Mark

Time and curiosity help us find something that suits to our emotions. Have a great we ;) Mark

Love the way the lugs and hands has been integrated in the same design! Best Blomman

...congrats Mark, i love it! ciao, chris

It's an easy choice for Ti,so fun to change the look from formal to casual to fun just by changing it's shoes This message has been edited by William M on 2014-07-12 10:37:39 ...
