For me I am most in love with this montblanc minerva beauty
By: TeutonicCarFan : May 3rd, 2024-18:21
I wanted one since it was released and being able to find a NOS at montblanc boutique a few years back was just perfect. I love the 39mm dimensions, cal 13.21 minerva monopusher movement, the case shape, enamel dial, and pulso scale. Top finishing IMO My ...
Wow …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 3rd, 2024-18:27
Just look at that minerva monopusher movement 💕… beautiful ! Any Vacheron gets my attention !
First time doing this- is this where I post
By: E in PA : May 3rd, 2024-19:43
The simplest of Reversos But in my opinion the best. It carries the true DNA of the brand. The polo watch. A gift from my wife who has great taste. I got it engraved so it will never leave the collection. The bracelet was keeping me from wearing it (addin...
Welcome ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 3rd, 2024-22:57
It’s good to have you joining us this weekend for WristScan. Your Reverso is a wonderful gift of love from your wife and looks perfect on your wrist.
A wonderful piece…
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-11:45
And you did everything right 😁 Moving bracelet onto a strap can definitely rekindle the love - happened to me several times 😊👍🏻
Hello dear Captain!! Great Theme and awesome shot to open …
By: Subexplorer : May 3rd, 2024-22:04
… the thread for this weekend! I can easily understand your deep love for this recent addition to your collection which I know you have been hunting for a long time. As you know I have added a few pieces to my collection after a several months pause of wa...
Incredible lineup of love and desire 🤩
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 3rd, 2024-23:03
How could I possibly choose between them…. The ceramic Daytona is a legendary watch even by Rolex standards as is your superb Blancpain FF Aqua Lung. Best regards Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain for your kind comments on…
By: Subexplorer : May 4th, 2024-04:08

The Bathyscaphe is a great daily wear and the Daytona a true icon in its latest iteration!
Thank you Simone …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 6th, 2024-09:10
Hope you are keeping well and enjoying life.
Thanks Captain!
By: Mary Anny : May 6th, 2024-10:20

Simply wow!

Looking like the recent months have been full of cool additions to your spectacular collection - huge congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
Fully understand…
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-15:55
When the time is right one needs to grab the opportunity - they don’t always come twice 🤷🏻♂️👍🏻
So true ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 6th, 2024-13:48
I can still remember them all 🤦♂️
Thanks!
By: Lurker : May 3rd, 2024-23:14
About 2 years. I’m a sucker for blue dials and sector dials and I love the case design and how versatile it is - equally at home with a T shirt or suit.
Two more current loves …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 3rd, 2024-23:09
The new white dial Speedmaster is a current love but my wife refers to the Porsche as my mistress 😉 🤷🏼♂️ ...
That Omega is a stunner!
By: Timeout : May 4th, 2024-07:04
Tried one on in the Bond Street boutique and awaiting it to land at my local AD. Can honestly say that I prefer it to the latest white dial Daytona.
Only this one 😉
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 6th, 2024-09:14
More to come as I get some more miles on her … ...
Thank you …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 6th, 2024-12:00
Excellent build quality and sublime engineering add up to a great package.
Significantly better range …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 6th, 2024-12:58
The order books are open now, and Porsche says the 2025 model year Taycans (both sedan and Cross Turismo variants) will arrive at dealers in the summer of 2024.
Both wonderful…
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-11:54
But as you can imagine I have a special weakness for the watch in your opening shot 😁👍🏻👏🏻
One you might expect and one you might not!
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : May 4th, 2024-01:28
I love this one x1000! Just picked up this one today as a reward for making it through the first stage of aggressive chemo! This is such a lovely, un-camera-able watch! It's more green blue, deep teal with a wonderful depth to the dial, almost like a holo...
The fabulous Frodsham 🤩
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-07:27
That’s a love affair that I’m looking forward to enjoying very soon 😉 Stay strong and my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Best regards Captain
Thank you!
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : May 4th, 2024-18:00
Much appreciated!

By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-11:55
Looking amazing, this one 👏🏻👌🏻
A fabulous pair!
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-11:55
And very much hoping that the remaining treatment goes as well as can be expected 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Superb dial ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-07:33
Is this a new love affair ?
Love that 1942 Remontoire.
By: Timeout : May 4th, 2024-07:05
And the Ostrich strap choice is spot on - great texture and color match!
Hello dear friend …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-07:42
I feel the love for every single watch in your photos. The textured dial finish on your CVDK looks particularly good in the photo. Best regards Captain
This one!!
By: KURT_DAVID : May 4th, 2024-06:45
Hello Cpt, thank you for hosting this month. Here is my current love. Very, very comfortable, a bit of a looker (to me) and relatively affordable!! Regards ...
That's an easy watch to love!
By: Spangles - Dr. Tabby : May 4th, 2024-11:59
My wife and I did the his and hers thing with the ice blue dial version and love them! ...

By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-17:12
The blue dial and strap combo looks so good. Is this a recent addition ? My pleasure to host this edition of WristScan for our community.
Thanks Captain!
By: KURT_DAVID : May 4th, 2024-18:29
Yes it is a great combination. It was a present from my good lady with zero input and knowledge from me. Life is full of good surprises!
Good morning Captain.
By: Timeout : May 4th, 2024-07:09
Thanks for hosting this month. I just have one watch with me for the next two weeks on vacation so I guess this qualifies🤣 ...
Thanks Captain.
By: Timeout : May 5th, 2024-10:17
So many interesting things going on with this movement - not the least of which is the slightly off-center rotor. So much attention to detail - and the use of RG 😳
Thanks Abel.
By: Timeout : May 5th, 2024-10:19
This is definitely my perpetual which is easiest on the eyes. I’ll happily forgo the Moonphase for all data being available in windows!
Is it enough to be in love with a watch for 35+ years?
By: fmc000 : May 4th, 2024-12:01
My father bought this watch new in 1977. It was given to me when I graduated from the High School in 1988. It was on my wrist when I graduated from the University, when i got married and when my first daughter was born. Got it back from service yesterday ...
Great to hear your story …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-17:23
It gives context to this modern classic. I have fond memories of owning an identical one for many years, finally trading it for a new blue dial Submariner. In many ways I wish I still owned it 🤷🏼♂️
That’s a nice Longines..
By: KURT_DAVID : May 4th, 2024-16:27
However, there is one watch in your collection that is slowly, quietly seducing me. I am growing towards a Ranger but I need to try. I was hoping/wishing for a white or cream dial variant to be released this year, maybe next, I live in hope lol! It’s a gl...
That looks great!
By: TeutonicCarFan : May 4th, 2024-17:04
Sometimes I think moser has gone too extreme with nothing on the dial at all. This is peak for me, nice clean organized dial 👍
Fabulous ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-17:34
I always love a Moser 🤩
Wow …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-17:38
I would gladly own that one in a heartbeat.
I seem to recall…
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-12:04
That this one is loved more frequently 😁😉👍🏻👌🏻
🤣🤣
By: S F : May 5th, 2024-14:59
Classy choice of a Cartier …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 4th, 2024-17:41
Easy to fall in love with this one and your photos really show it at its finest.
Thank you Cpt.
By: Jtl : May 4th, 2024-18:11
Still smitten with its dial design after almost 20 years..

Thanks :) 🥃

Still enjoying wearing it but a whole lot less frequently
By: jml_watches : May 5th, 2024-14:42
Was & still is a great watch - the dial is stunning Probably need to wear it again, but you're right the days of it almost being permanently welded to a wrist are over. Wore it solidly, but COVID did for it in the end - as we weren't going anywhere much f...
Wow Thomas …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 5th, 2024-08:40
Your Hautlence Linear Series 2 looks fantastic ! … especially when paired with your leather jacket. Great style.
Thank you so much,

I highly appreciate your comment, dear KMII.
Thank you so much, dear Abel! 🙏☺️
By: MTR : May 6th, 2024-09:10
Yes, I think it’s a good combination. ☺️ It was “an unplanned purchase which I couldn’t resist” - like your Bathyscaphe… LOLLL Your Aqua Lung is out of this world. All the best Thomas ...
My Nord and my Cartier.
By: brauner : May 5th, 2024-06:14
Two totally different watches. I love both. Like it is possible in life. See the movie "Les Choses de la Vie" with Michel Piccoli. When you have to decide. ...
Both look superb …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 5th, 2024-08:42
Excellent wrist shots and both are very different but equally as beautiful in their own ways.

Some real gems…

But where’s the Type XX? Thought that one would have definitely made the list? 😊🤷🏻♂️
I love all of your watches…

The DateJust Mint Green Riffled dial looks very nice in your photos. Best regards Captain
Red …
By: Cpt Scarlet : May 5th, 2024-08:57
The romance of the Ferrari name and the legendary cars from the past have an undeniable attraction. The Speedmaster is a current love and the red tip on the chronograph hand could easily be a tribute to the prancing horse, il Cavallino … ...
These are truly elegant!
By: KMII : May 5th, 2024-12:13
Not heard much from the brand since KV took them over but the watches are truly up my alley and yours is a perfect specimen 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Here’s my wrist shot for the day.

My Fave Is The One **Not Yet** Acquired
By: enjoythemusic : May 5th, 2024-12:00

The spice of life, eh? 😁

Thanks a lot!

Which of the two Habrings? 😁
The orange details 👏🏻👌🏻
