WristScan

Team, (Later than never - Internet issues) The watch(es) that we love. They can be in different forms, shapes, metals, brands etc. What matter is that we love and continue looking for new loves (no monogamy is needed!!!) At the end, we always find ... ano...

I passed one, that was before the time where I had a 42mm limit. Cheers, Nilo

. . . "44 is the new 42". :-)

Is never wrong! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman

. . . for your viewing pleasure, my friend! ...  

Too tempting and beautiful. Alas, work is required to fund the love. Beautiful watches and pictures to match, Art.

. . . it must be Sunset Beach ;-) . . .

. . . you'll appreciate, Geo. Just our style, no? Nothing special; neither a chronometer, nor a noteworthy reference. Just a plain Jane model from the mid-'40s, probably issued by the tens of thousands. Out of all my watches, though, it's the one that rec...  

.. in the background - your Omega shots to me always a revelation ! Thx for the share and Best, hs

Ok, let's play with these three. Best, Nicolas ...  

. . . more than others? :-) I love all of mine, too, especially now that the cursed IWC is gone, but yes, I do love some more than others.

" If you had to keep only 10, which ones would they be "? I now feel the need to restrain the collection. To fund those I miss a lot. And to enjoy all of them. But, at the same time, it is very painful to even think about letting some go.... Best, my frie... 

I think that asking him which one is like asking which one of your children you love most One thing in this universe that is impossible to answer Yours as always D

Are, as we say here, "killer watches". You choose your "lovers" very well. Cheers, Nilo

Coolness. Cheers, Nilo

We must live our passion ;)

HAGWE Blomman

Looking at the beautiful Omega Speedies you attached, I thought about the Apollo-Soyuz mission and the old nixie tubes of this watch are from the same era... if not before a few years! Best, massi ...  

Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo

It's like asking me which of my kids I love the most-Shame on you :-)

As I stated, you may have more than one "love". Cheers, Nilo

Blue on the central second hand, my friend! :) Best Blomman

This watch is so classy that reminds me of: Cheers, Nilo Note: With the new love, you need to go to the post office and ...

The Post office is closed! ;) Thank you, Nilo. Audrey Hepburn is one of two all time favorites (the other being Ingrid Bergman)! Best Blomman

This can only be admired with nothing said...nothing needs to be said.

Enjoy & HAGWE! -- Richard.

Thank you, Richard! :) HAGWE, my friend Best Blomman

The IWC 3706 with a perfect size, beautiful hand and, in your case, gorgeous patina is a wonder. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo

Glad you liked it, I am obsessed with this watch, I wear it all the time now, my other pieces feel so neglected. Its so funny, I always ignored IWC and then this comes along and changes everything, trying to learn about Pre-Richemont IWCs, they made some ... 

Its a bad luck that they are very hard to find, here where I live. Cheers, Nilo

of simplicity & elegance .... So easy to fall in love with .... Extremely hard to part with .... A piece that will stay in the collection for a long long time ! ...  

Logic. The design of this watch is, let's say, complete. It exudates ... Nobility. Cheers, Nilo

(Stephen Stills) :) HAGWE fernando ...  

Fernando, Your Blancpain deserves all love, IMHO. Love also your matching jacket. Cheers, Nilo

Easy to love this one, especially framed so well. Very nice!

So colorful So Warm SO HANDSOME Best Iceman ...  

The "panda" .... Gorgeous! Cheers, Nilo

HAGWE! -- Richard. ...  

Beautiful. It makes my single pocket watch blush with envy. Cheers, Nilo

My true formal watch ! :-) Best, -- Richard.

is this Tank Cintrée, but it is not the one that I wear the most. Great topic this week! HAGWE guys, GEO ...  

Outstanding. Educate us: What means "Cintrée" and why the hour marks has those symbols? Cheers, Nilo

Hi Nilo, the numbers are in Hindu/Arabic. The piece was special order made for a gentleman in the Middle East. The Tank Cintreé has one of the most curved watch cases Cartier did. GEO

As the bird seems to be quite rare.... Best, Geo, and thanks. Each time I see this one, you make my day. ;) Nicolas

...  

A perfect fit for your wrist. Cheers, Nilo

.. Nilo & friends ! What a nice theme, this week - sounding easy, but the choice from the bunch of loved tic-tacs, can be difficult.. Thus, I would like to share a bit more, than one, : - one for a Tribute to a legend , starting much here, for me.. - one ...  

Disturbes my sleep. That's a watch that will be great for the next millennium. Cheers, Nilo

Have a good weekend ! ...  

What is more gorgeous, the watch or the nails. Wonderful. Cheers, Nilo

Especially the Rolex and the Breguet, such sublime dials, warm and beautiful. S

The embarass of the choice.... ;) Best, Nicolas

.. you with your phenomenal spectrum, are for sure already even beyond that point .. Pleasure & pain are pretty close, sometimes ! Best, my friend ! hs

Love the Breguet!...congrats on the Geophysic Matt

HAGWE Tyler ...  

It's the Collectors one? I was offered this one but since I have the Spitfire, I decided that it was too close. On yours, I love the lume color. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo ...  

...well, unrequited until recently, that is. I have been chasing platinum ever since I foolishly gave up the opportunity to make this one mine several years ago. I guess the chase has made the conquest all the sweeter. Yes, I am in love. HAGWE all! respo ...  

Amazing understated beauty. Cheers, Nilo

But today I'm "old school".... And I love it!!! Tks.... ...  

Drowning in beer. About the "old style" ... Love for a quartz watch!!! Darko must pay to you a visit. Cheers, Nilo

... all watches in my collection. Each one is different that has special features or details that stand out. So without neglecting any, I just picked one for this Friday's Wristscan. However, before I show you this, here is a very special GP Vintage 45 th...  

But, of course, the Vintage 94 is a wonder. Shame on me that I don't do well with square/rectangular watches, Cheers, Nilo

I have a really hard time picking the watch that I love, because if I didn't love them all it wouldn't be in my collection...however, some watches carry more significant meanings and stories behind it, so for me, it's this Reverso GT. ...  

and your picture shows all. The beauty of the Reverso associated with a great shot. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo

regards Stephan ...  

It's what? 3 weeks, now, that you are offering us some superb pictures of some not less sublime vintage Breitlings? You're not only " Only 5402 ", definitely. ;) Best, Nicolas

... compressed by the "only 5402"-love, but of course this special love will not die Stephan

Hi All As I couldn't decide - here's a group shot. a JLC Jumble HAGWE Cheers JML ...  

This Black Memovox is killing me. ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas

A nice polygamous relationship with JLC. Cheers, Nilo

......can I love anything that is inanimate? Probably not. But I can love something because it reminds me of someone I love....yes....psychologists might call this displacement.....but I love these ones..... ...  

Joe, I was expecting something related with "the other brand" but JLC (Nico's put a spell on us) seems to be a common disease. Love the first shot. Cheers, Nilo

Hi Baron, I fully consent your statement. If you look at my post a bit further downwards you may read it. As far as I am concerned a watch I got from my father (his engagement gift from my mum) and another one from my wife shortly after we were married ar... 

most loved but may be the start of a new love :).. ...  

my first and surely not the better ones around. It will not be an easy love endeavor.....originality, condition, completeness, a reliable source, etc. Hopefully will get closer after a few trial and error. Cheers!

Add to that, this wonder of patina. Cheers, Nilo

Matt ...  

MattS, Your "bag of tricks" is deep and full of fine watches. Wonderful. Cheers, Nilo

...  

The background ain't bad, either.... This Alpine! ;) Best, Fred. Nicolas

Unfortunately no Volvo P1800 in our club ;)

Ludi, You must tell us more about this outstanding chronograph. Cheers, Nilo

Hello Nilo, It's a French Air Force issued chronograph, 2000 made between 1954 & 1955 The watch is powered by caliber Lemania 15TL including the flyback function and therefore called Lemania 2040, the only one with the bridge signed "type 20" (pics fr...  

Ludi, Envy, on the good sense. That's a true classic. Beautiful movement and watch. Congratulations, Nilo

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

Not free of my deep envy. I want mine and they say "Only in November". Cheers, Nilo

.. that's the case, on and off the wrist !.. Some subtle play of colors, case/ polished vs brushed, but also dial vs slightly orange hands, and crosshair on my ss-version, plus some reflexes from light, generate a certain mesmerizing appeal .. - Well, gue... 

Hi Nilo, thank you for your challenging topic of this week´s wrist shot! I look at it like Baron in his post: to feel love for inanimate things may be a problem or soon become one. In history, art und literature people who fall in love for material things...  

Comes handy. My local language (Portuguese) or some others (French, Italian etc.) have many ways to express what in English is summarized with "Love". Anyway, the English "love" works fine, because of the contextual nature of the language. We understand t... 

Too true, Nilo

Obviously we do not only share our taste in watches! BTW, your selection of JLC, Breguet and Rolex watches is quite attractive for me as well. Best regards anaesdoc

For your kind comment, this vintage piece is very special for me:-) Regards, Ronald

... As a matter of fact... isn´t watch collecting about a permanent discovering of a new love in the following piece we catch? An endless search for a definitive & unique love which we never get to find? I can´t sincerely chose just one. Most of them ...  

... a 5513 gloss gilt dial underline. Great patina indeed! I got my first Submariner, a 5513 in 1966 (regretably not this one, but a very similar one) and a Sub has been my permanent (and almost only watch) for around forty years. And old faithful compani... 

.. I really can relate to your long standing love for 4 decades ! Continue to wear her in the best of your health !! Thx again & Best, hs

I believe that the Breguet is your beloved one. Cheers, Nilo

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Best, Javier ...  

The design of this watch is outstanding. One of the finest designs of Gerald Genta. Cheers, Nilo
