WristScan

Team, Here we go. Now should be Friday 00:06 in Singapore. This week the theme is " Your favorite 'off-time' watch (could be sporty, could be social etc) that gets lots of wrist time " (thanks Ken). Here are my current favorites, let's see yours: Glasshut...  

...  

.....no regret buying this one this year. May even extend the range next year!!

.....i like several, but the trouble is with the Amvox range, you really need to see it on the wrist.... funny as it is why i am really looking forward to your amvox thread. The tribe to DSA is on my list too... but its one of the 'many" 2014 ideas.

Or the TT DSA... Which is another great choice. Or better... Both! ;) Best, Nicolas

Now, if you go outside the Amvox line, and if you think about getting another JLC, oooh, yes, the choice is dramatically wide! Best, Nicolas

....i am starting to make my list of watches to have on my wrist in 2014..... a very good game

So to speak? Cazalea

.....but never say never.... Too many in the list

....of peeking into Pandora's box!

But kind thanks for the encouragement ! :) - several topics' boxes are open already, therefore : ".. to peek or not to peek, that's the question here" But we both know the answer, at least deep down.. All The best for your WE, hs

I miss my Amvox I (on a certain time I had two) that I need to trade for a grail. Cheers, Nilo

.....right now I need a watch with an alarm function.... and also need one that doesn't bling or shout Rolex..... The Amvox 1 is just perfect.....really useful function and my wife loves it....my two JLC she loves the most Polaris 65 (TT) and Amvox 1!!

I should get mine out for some air! But, it will have to wait until after me "White week".... HAGWE Blomman

....so pleased to have bought this one

Each of my Ulysse Nardin qualify, here... My RO jumbo, too. A lot of Vintage JLCs, as ell. What to say about the Salmon Type XX, the Reverso Septantième or the Patek WT? I think that most of my collection is very versatile... Yes, too hard to choose! HAG...  

You walk protected by a bunch of thugs! Joking aside, what a plethora of great watches you have. This UN Sonata is to die for. Fine tastes, for sure. Cheers, Nilo

One amusing thing... I think it is safer to have a walk in any street with any of these, rather than wearing a Rolex, even a simple one. The good thing with thugs us that they have no culture. ;) Best, Nicolas

Our thugs are increasing their horological education. Other day, a friend was robed, on a street, wearing a IWC. Cheers, Nilo

. . . about you! :-)

Sublime selection my friend Happy to be able to see them all on flesh :) HAGWE D

...the rest of the World needs protection from Vlad!! ;) Your collection is incredible and classy, Nico. Congrats!

is searing my brain. Please wear to SIHH so I can try and talk you out of it!! Great post, Tim

And also because I love it, of course, but I can bet that it will be the favourite, amng all those I posted, here... ;) Yes, I will bring it with me, at the SIHH. Ciao, my dear friend. Nicolas

.

.

Another stunning display, my friend! :) Have a happy trip for the weekend! Best Blomman

This week end will be a blast! Best, Nicolas

I can't wait to see your choice for "Fall", "Winter", "Spring", "Spring", "Chronograph", "Family" watch theme. I can imagine seeing a catalogue. LOL Regard Tyler

Great pieces, specifically when I see the 70ieme, the Patek World time, and the AP, and the Salmon Breguet, and.. And.. , - UN I did not have the opportunity to see in real Thnx of giving us Vladish joys, which are sweet pains, I trust best & HAGWE, hs <

... and I wonder how you get to a final decision every time you are ready "to go"! Beautiful examples of your wonderful collection, enhanced by your usual great photographic eye my friend! (You know I have a favorite among these you show here: the PP Heur... 

. . . this one. As much as the attributes of the Senator Sixties contribute towards making this my casual go-to watch, it's the quality of the strap, a hand-stiched doubled layer of shell cordovan, that makes it both snug and comfortable. It feels as secu...  

Art, Your GO is a wonder. Clean, simple and with one of the greatest movements that I know. Cheers, Nilo

. . . sans complications, chrono and calendar. G O's cal 39 isn't especially advanced technically, but it has two rare qualities for an entry level automatic movement: the characteristically German 3/4 plate architecture, and exceptionally fine finishing ...  

Only now I learn that yours uses the same base movement. I consider the cal 39 as "Germanic" as a great German car. Sort of no more no less design principle. Cheers, Nilo

to admire the fantastic work put in by GO ! Bar the Panoinverse of course !

BUT this is much better than a second choice! Best, my dear friend! Nicolas

. . . to set one of my perpetuals, Nico. This one, with hacking seconds and without any calendar functions, is a breeze by comparison - much more in keeping with Nilo's theme, no?

of your wrist shots dear Art delights my hearth and soul Sincerely Damjan

This one would fit great in my watch box! :) To confess, after seeing yours I have on several occations tried it on my wrist... But yet to pull the trigger! HAGWE Blomman

...  

. . . for an OP to make an appearance in this thread. Weekends were made for watches like this! Best, Art

I think so too. It goes well with any kind of clothes in any kind of places... For me it`s a perfect off-time watch....

I bet that was a hard task to balance this watch on the neck of the Iron Man. Cheers, Nilo

It's a heavy watch for this little statue.... But, after some safety tests... I got the shot... Tks..

...wear this.... :) So, what's your plan for tomorrow? Best Blomman ...  

for this week end! Best, Nicolas

This I have to try .... Will I make it? Don't know... ;) Best Blomman

A Geophysic emotionally and "horologically" for me is in a special league :) :) with joy, every time I see her, on pics or even better, in the real Thnx therefore, Geophysic owners for your shares.. - here and everywhere.. Best, hs

Trying to find time to make a post about the theme... Best, my friend Blomman

I took some fresh pictures, in Belgium, with the Geophysic on the wrist... You will see, they are quite good. A holy watch, for us. Best, Nicolas

also is to conquer the world? :) Best my dear friend fountain of pieces extraordinaire Yours D

Na, I will settle for much less, dear friend! ;) Thank you for your kind words, looking forward to the B-day! ;) Best Blomman

very impatient for B day ;) kids more than us :) :) 4 more months Best D

But the hands keeping attracting my eyes. Cheers, Nilo

Is the difficulty to close this theme...! But it is a true pleasure while trying... :) Best Blomman

..to a classic choice. She is a sober, clean piece, but with enough appeal to do well.. here you go: A very pleasant conrade.. Works for casual & more formal BTW, your beautiful Geophysic is not to beat anyway ( except Nicolas and some lucky ones here) - ...  

Thank you for following me during my "White week" dear friend! :) So, for tomorrow another JLC? All the best for the WE! Blomman

Yes, I'm happily following your "white footsteps ! I do like this thread. - as to number 4 in my Series : Yep, it will be JLC again - hope you'll like it.. - until then, dear friend :) Best, hs BTW: did you maybe check a PM from me, yesterday ?

Finally Friday! :) Hope you all will have a great day! Best Blomman ...  

HAGWE

:) Best Blomman ...  

...wear this... :) And as always when it comes to the Geomatic... I can't help myself, but admire the case back...! :) So, what's your plan for tomorrow? Best Blomman ...  

Hope you all will have a great Saturday! :) Best Blomman ...  

.. to firstly compliment you on your SS- Geomatic ! A real classic and nice pics, of course.. To somehow spin along here is my choice, which is fitting nicely: As well to yours, but also for our theater plan of this evening.. The Cousine sends greetings.....  

I wonuld not hesitate to double up on the Geomatic if I get the chance! Honestly, I have more and more started to look closer on 50's and 60's JLC in RG... They have a very special appeal! :) Thank you for following me through the "White week", my friend!... 

Yes, the Vintage JLC's ( and some others , likely) from the 60ies have a captivating spell and appeal. For tomorrow, I am happy to rejoin you on your white week, I guess to know which you might choose. So I guess I will select another type and category ..... 

Next time arround you have to join, my friend! A lot of fun! :) As for tomorrow, I just posted... Best Blomman

Also one of my personal real favourites, definitely a keeper . Pls see below my Choice for Nov.2 Best, hs

Time to put this one back in the box... :) And make new plans for tomorrow... But more on that in a separate post! Best Blomman ...  

...wear this... :) What's your plan for Sunday? Best Blomman ...  

.. so I decided to change the type into another direction: You went from round to rectangular / Reverso I will -- change to another type A Jaeger Vintage Chronograph & good coffee Will be a good way to start Sunday, also for some travelling But as you men...  

Hope you had a great one, my friend! :) Best Blomman

PS : my day6 - which was today - had another JLC classic - I showed it over in the JLC forum but for you, my friend another shot ( was travelling all day long..) with the best for a good start into the new week My Master Moon TD - a classic for me since 2...  

Today you find me over at the HoMe forum! ;) Please join in with your beautiful Triple date! :) Best, my friend Blomman

Blomman, You have the best watches that JLC produced, ever. Now is the time to have a 36000 humming on your wrist. Cheers, Nilo

I think I will approach in 18000 or 28800... That is more my speed...! ;) Best Blomman

I would think that pretty much all my watches could qualify!!!...but to choose just one!...off time... Matt ...  

A little more recent than mine? Cheers, Nilo

Mine is a MKII, 1969 Matt

The watch ain't bad either !

glad you like them! Matt

Tool watch , sports watch ... Weekend companions ! And this in particular .... On African Tribal Art ..... Now that is "off time" How I miss Cape Town ! HAGWE ! ...  

Outstanding composition. Congrats, Nilo

Do you have an / any OP ? Me being nosy ! Thank you and HAGWE !

Eons ago but they "dress" way too big on my skinny wrist. Tried the 40mm but it looks out of proportions. Chasing a 42mm. Need to stop by the Boutique. Any watch admirer needs an OP, for sure. Cheers, Nilo

Wasn't sure if I was more worried breaking the scuplture or scratching the watches .. LOL

Sorry no white dial ;)

When I just want relax and not think about what watch to wear or match my outfit. I always come back to this. HAGWE Tyler ...  

I had me one of this as well ! HAGWE !

It can be a weekend and every other day watch for me

Continuing the pleasure with this F.A.Lange Anniv. MP for the week-end. :) HAGWE Fernando ...  

And why not ! When u have such a beauty.

Still a long way to go to improving my photographic skills. Best fernando

No message body

Love the moon phase on this one.

one of these three at weekends HAGWE ...  

What can be better than a mix of Tudor and Omega? The Black Bay is gorgeous. Cheers, Nilo

Maybe time to get one. But for now i tend to wear this one on weekends. ...  

..."and otherwise only on days ending with the letter Y" :-) Impossible to trump, Iceman! Cheers, pplater.

Yes its a pc i am pleasantly surprised everytime its on my wrist. I have been travelling alot lately, thats why can only wear this went i am back home. When will u come to Sing again, we sd meet up. Regards Iceman

Everywhere, with style! Best, Nicolas

.. as on a personal level, they are - well true friendship pieces, remnding storytellers and thus, keepers anyhow.. :) :) Thank you for your kind words, My best from house to house, and HAGWE, <=a> hsbr> PS: - your selection was pure pleasure, BTW sweet p... 

40 years is amazing ! Dun know if I can live with a same piece quater that time ... LOL Have a simliar datejust, Been in the family, 37years, since my Grand dad, and from my Dad (who has since moved with a Day-Date affair) Now I really just want that Day-... 

trusty old beater! :) Best, my friend Blomman

This is my off-time watch for on the go situations. Sturdy, yet a gorgeous looking, great companion for those unplanned moments of the week. I love it so much. Cheers my friends. -Leon ...  

I love the perfect four sub dials distribution. Cheers, Nilo

with my Speedmaster. Your GO combines very well a sporty-creamy dial with a high standards finishing Nilo. Very nice pictures ;) Have a nice WE everyone. Mark ...  

Very hard to find on the conditions of yours. Cheers, Nilo

... a lot on weekends, I might surprise you by posting the F.P.Journe DS Tourbillon for this weeks thread. I love nothing more than to dress it down, take it grocery shopping, off to cafe's for breakfast and out for a drive. ...  

You may put a shabby NATO on this Journe and it will continue to scream luxury. Beautiful representation of high horological product. Cheers, Nilo

Thanks Nilo for your kind comments. I did try to dress it down by puting it on a more casual dark blue strap. I haven't tried a NATO, but probably should. Your words gave me pause to consider. I'm not sure I ever thought of the DS as a luxury watch. I gue... 

Like your Lange with luxury for the lack of a better word. Cheers, Nilo

I would not take that into the kitchen, though. :-) Sam

.... but am careful not to splash - just as much for the alligator strap than the watch itself. The DS, like most Journe's, is water resistant to 30m. Andrew

Sunny off time always deserves this one I'm actually wearing today for the end of the vacations Best, Laurent ...  

combination of colours! Love it!

Laurent, Starting with the amazing orchids (?) on the background, passing for the white strap (that's a match by my book) and, of course, the "funky" 70's Heuer Montreal. Cheers, Nilo

Obviously yes ;-) but at the end, I would tend to associate this one with some contemporary design furniture instead well done for the orchids and many thanks for your sweet comment Nilo L ...  

Deserves an special prize. I also agree about your design comments, Thanks, Nilo

Very cool, Laurent ! Nice watch, btw ...LOL

is my wrist scan winner of week What a shot, what a composition, what a piece! Most masculine white whatch that I know of. All the best Damjan

For some reasons, white dials vintage watches are not as sought after as black ones, but this "oddity" shows a snow white color I've never crossed with any other at this stage, its ability to capture light is very special hence I believe it deserves your ... 

Love the combo! :) Best Blomman

For social, this one is getting most wrist time these days. This watch seems to provoke complimentary comments from complete strangers on a regular basis. Happy weekend my friends. Dean ...  

Dean, This is a Santoni strap? Matches the watch with perfection. Cheers, Nilo

Of the best of British, Swiss and Italian, with both the gorgeous Santoni, and the moonphase dial fashioned in Murano, Venice. Thanks for looking. Dean

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

What an amazing combo (tri compax and shirt). Great photo. Cheers, Nilo

The Incursion sees daily action almost without exception. My two faithful companions. Best, respo ...  

The dog or the watch. Thanking better, the two. Cheers, Nilo

Thank you for the reminder, my friend! Next "Black week" this one needs to see some action! Best Blomman

You have both the wrist n companion for a seal ! LOL !

...  

This Seiko much more than that. Great composition. The judges go to face a hard time this week. Cheers, Nilo

Been on my wrist for much leisure time lately, but I was actually hoping from something different this weekend... Still in transit, that one, so this will do another weekend. HAGWE! Sam. ...  

Forever. How I love this watch. Someday ... One will show up on my wrist. Cheers, Nilo

Problem with the RO´s, in my opinion, is that they are not as volatible as I´d wish. First: Where I live, in the dark north, the RO lumination is not strong enough. I often cannot read the time from it... Secondly, the "splash proof" 50 meters is not enou...  

But, giving my OCD, I prefer the one with running seconds. I don't think that the ONE watch was invented yet. There are tasks (or places here where I live) that you need a basic Casio or a simple Seiko. Sort of a 'no worries if lost" watch. My problem is ... 

Off time go to watch is always this one free time is always with family but time that I have only for myself and my friends is off time ;) Cheers D ...  

with the new strap, it is much easier to put on and going up "my wrist time" ranking! I love this watch, too! Ken

and of course still very anxious to see it on NATO...think that you are the only one who managed to put it that way Sincerely D

most cordially yours D

... love this one so much and want to give lots of wrist time - but a bit too colorful for business use, so I found myself wear this mostly off-time..... Fun to wear - maybe I could do something about the strap for off-time... HAGWE! Ken ...  

that would be my all time watch not just off time :) Best D

This is my baby.... :-)

Ken, You and Andrew have Lange as off-time watches! Beautiful and fine taste. Thank you for suggesting this great theme. Cheers, Nilo

... on off-time, I thought! That's why we "collect", I think... :-) Ken

That's the reason that I'm "dating" a non usual watch "as we speak". The challenge is, following my rules, is that something must go before something enters and, at this very moment, I don't have any watch that I will not regret if I let it go. Cheers, Ni... 

... well, there are some who don't have to, so most people's "agony", myself included.... :-( I would really like one of your vintage Zenith.... hehehe. Ken

Possibly leave that anywhere else but on the wrist ! Superb , Ken ! In best health and congrats ! So did get a "7" Blanc ? LOL

.. with deep counsel with my wallet... hehehe.

Dun take too long ... It's a LE !

I'm not sure why, compared to its brother (or are they sister?) Habrings, but with the Hirsch band and in the titanium, this watch is so comfortable that it has been getting primary weekend play time. Also, because I'm rough, it takes plenty of knocks wit...  

Habring watches are always welcome here. Cheers, Nilo

Wow.... Yes, super cool Habring2!

I love this one for the simplicity and ruggedness in that simplicity! Beautiful!

although I wear it plenty during the week as well. Fall is finally here in Mississippi. HAGWE! ...  

That I envy. I was, last two weeks in US (Chicago, St Louis and NYC, and I cannot stop to admire the fantastic colors that the Fall brings. Here, all seasons, always the boring green. Your Ventura is one of the few integrated bracelet watches (bar the cla... 

I'm just a sucker for an integrated bracelet.

The watch contrasts the natural surroundings very well. Love it ! HAGWE!

...of great taste, and your keen 'eye' for the aesthetic clearly extends beyond your professional calling into your personal life. Chapeau! Cheers, pplater.

For me the tough tool watches have become my every day ON-time watches and any remaining dress watches see infrequent use at parties and such (and their ranks are dwindling as I trade them off for lack of use). Neither probably fit the "off-time" category...  

Silver dial and pumpkin. Cool watch. Cheers, Nilo

.. is mostly the same as all the others ... :-) This pictures doesn't tell alot about the watch i'm wearing but it tells alot about the company i'm in right now :-) Double wristshot in Gent in front of the Castle of the counts in Gent. Bim ...  

I only see you reflecting of the pentaprism mirror ! LOL

... that picture in my black-room once again :-)

Mr. Bim, Our Count looks shy. Garlic? Cheers, Nilo

... i'll keep those pictures for a post to come shortly, gnarrr gnarrrr :-) And there still is tomorrow :-) Bim

a) car b) watch c) boose d) girls e) airplane f) all of above ;) Best

Maybe the meaning of life ? :-) :-) :-) 2 old men with a scarf in a vintage 911 ... hmmmmm .... :-) ...  

No, they didn't kick us out of the restaurant but we had to wait an eternity for our food ... Bim ...  

Darkness is on my side too :-) Though i think this is the maximum lighting he can take :-) Bim ...  

This has been my go to offtime watch for the last couple of weeks ...  

Seen this once and it has haunted me since ! Great watch for the weekends ! Nice !

Is that I can take it off on Sunday nights and it is usually still running on Friday evenings when I put it back on. Time to fix those hauntings already and make it reality ;-)

Haunts me too ! And that only having seen photos ! Gotta see that in the flesh ! Gotta !

I need to see one "in metal". Great wrist shot. I love unusual angles. Cheers, Nilo

At the time, it was the only angle that I had minimal reflections. As with seeing one in the metal, that's how all unplanned purchases start, though it almost always ends up in a very good way ;-)

two have been my weekends choice... Have a nice weekend. Cheers Francois from nice Down Under ...  

In rotation for weekends. Not too shabby Francois ... ;) Love the blue strap ! Very nice !

Just simple and practical:) The blue strap gives the Daytona a new life. Thank you Flamenco. Cheers Francois

.. contributes to the exuberance of the Daytona, I think, without letting her loose the genetics.. AP always a great choice, Best for the remainder of the day and/or your Sunday ! hs

the blue strap, I am amazed to see what a different strap colour can do to a watch, same face different clothes, just like a new person:) Cheers Francois

Francois, The theme is "off time" and not iconic watches. ... He he. This AP seems to be a favorite here and the Daytona is ... A Daytona. Cheers, Nilo

I am a lucky guy:) and the Daytona has your favourite mouvement at its heart! Um abraco, Francois from warm Down Under:)

... a timepiece I love and is always ready to be worn in some special occasions. A watch I desired a lot to own, which makes me smile everytime I wear on my wrist. Have a great week end my dear friends!! Kind regards, Abel. ...  

Abel, You are lucky that Nicolas is visiting Mr. Bim in Belgium (?). By any definition a Reverso Rouge is far, very far to be humble. A classic on the making, for sure. Add to that, the Eiffel Tower. Paris. Congratulations, Nilo

... some of his own beauties!! Thanks for your comments and have a nice week end my dear friend! Abel.

...  

The dial color and the perfect balance on the dial. If it had running seconds (my OCD prevents me to have a watch that I cannot see it "moving"). Saludos, Nilo

of that lovely watch. GEO
