See these recent WristScan posts: Picture 1 ... Picture 2 ... So, instead, I will give you one last shot from Hong Kong of the 5513 overlooking the Happy Valley Racecourse. Don't worry, my ‘better half’ is never far away … ... someone has to keep an eye o...  

... so you were staying near Happy Valley? you know the houses there have fantastic view, great location as well. stefan

Hi All Well one half of me has been kinda retro this week & inspired by all the Grand Seikos, I'm wearing my Bellmatic Funky Alarm HAGWE JML Ps sorry for old photo...  

Hi All - Again! Well the other half - or rather, I should say my other wrist has had the Master Moon on all week JLC MM So with with Bellmatic on the other wrist I've had both age and beauty. Cheers JML...  

this new aquisition is an Enicar Sherpa Super-Dive super compressor from 1964. i've only worn it for 2 days, but it is very very nice. its the full size 40mm case and with the bracelet it suits my wrist perfectly. its also remarkably accurate. i've tried ...  

for full details check on the omega forum...

Another nice one in the " '64 stable "! You will never cease to amaze me. Enjoy, my friend. All the best. Nicolas

its just a good job that it was for sale in a place you dont frequent or i might have gone to join its friends in the super compressor stable. best graham

And I lost some fatal concentration. I'm happy, really very happy that you got this one. Best, my dear friend. Nicolas

very nice Graham, enjoy. Matt

best Graham

Big fan of Enicars, great history, inhouse movements, great styling. It's interesting to note that in the 1958 Experimental diving report, that alongside the Blancpain and Rolex, Enicar was also tested. So it was seen as a serious tool watch back then. Re... 

they have a lot of history in the diving world with the bonus of in house movements. and yes, it is an original Enicar bracelet although i'm not sure it was made for this watch. best Graham

I've been keeping an eye on them for several years now and I can say that by the prices they realise the collectors in the know value them.

i'm hoping that most of my 1964 theme are collectors watches. speedies, sm300's, connies, UG polerouter single crown super compressor, Benrus military pilots, even a gold cased Smiths Everest(classic british engineering). i plan very soon to do another up... 

I am destined not to find a '64 that tells the time, so I am pleased that one of us has! Nice diver. Andrew

a lot of it is having time to search and luck, a lot of luck. best Graham

So let me just show you what's on my wrist.... Can't get this beauty of my wrist.. Can't stop starring at it.... Have a great weekend! Sam...  

Cheers, Eddy...  

I saw both the R/G as well as the Platinum this week while I was at an evening event, being held by my AD. And I have to say, that I very much prefer the R/G over the Platinum, fot it's much better contrast of colours.

as I also enjoying your new catch : ) HAGWE, Eddy

A marvel! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

... you are one of very few friends here who can understand me yes, indeed it is marvel because this was my very first Memovox. i still remember after consulting you and Blomman, i bought it next day, then my Memovox collection has started growing from th... 

Like the Blue strap combo.

... they are perfectly matched. stefan

... this time, this was just casually taken in office today, the effect is turned out quite nice. sometimes, i purposely intend to take a so-called great pic, but unfortunately the quality was very bad. this is the one i like so far. thanks, Andrew. stefa... 

An uncommon Lip Nautic supercompressor - 36mm handwind from approximately 1966. Perfect size for my wrist. 2nd and 3rd photos credited to Tony C. and used by permission. Ginger...  

I have these Lip in my mind, too, nut most often I find electric versions... Superb catch! Best, Nicolas.

do you know what th engraving on the bak is? Matt

i've seen a lot of Lip divers, but as Nicolas has found they are all electronic so a handwind is that bit more special. enjoy it Graham

... very nice condition, the logo engraved one the caseback looks so cool. stefan

So it has to be one of these Silbersteins Lume shot of the Smileday and his pals As requested, better half modeling for the camera at exactly top of the minute!...  

for some reason i thought that as they are designed with humour the essentials like lume would take a back seat. any of them are perfect for the silly season Graham

I saw many in Italy this summer, and found that it was realy beautiful to see this Chrono on a lady's wrist. It was something like " a cool insouciance ", really reallly cool. Best, Mon Cher Confrère. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 201... 

And I know exactly what you mean about "cool insouciance". She does not "revere" the watch, or any that she wears. She appreciates it, but she simply "wears" it, as she does any watch or jewelry. Its beauty is but a sparkle. Hers is the real deal! Best, C... 

Have a good weekend, Stewart...  

G One of many old pieces found in his safe... Julian...  

Do you have more information on this watch?

It is known as a Lordmatic.(seiko ref 5606) Auto day date from the 1970's Very wearable. Other pieces in the safe were Oris, Lanco and a few brands I had never heard of Julian

modelled for a wrist shot three weeks ago with this one: As a concidence, another NOMOS is sitting on my wrist today: Have a great weekend everybody! Martin...  

Collected it from my AD on Wednesday. One happy collector! The new 5205G Annual Calendar. I would have put some smiley faces on.............................If I knew how too!! LOL Regards Tony This message has been edited by Topcat30093 on 2010-11-19 02:3...  

I look forward to seeing more shots of this one. I find it a striking modern dial with great use of silver and grey tones. People I have asked seem polarised about this Patek. It seems to be either love or dislike. That's good; I don't like bland watches.... 

... how to make a face. It's easy. Just put : and - and ) together and you will have a face smiling back at you. A

i think i should rejoin the plod and get a job like yours. then i can buy a Patek best Graham

you already got this Tony, big congrats, one of my favorite among 2010 collection. please post more pics if you have time. HAGWE, Eddy

I have now posted some on the Patek forum Regards Tony

Nomi? Nomoses? We need a grammar expert here.

that I never asked myself up to now. NOMOS claims that they chose the name from the greek word "nomos" which translates appoximately to "law" or "order". The plural of this word is "nomoi". Gosh, what beautiful problems we have! Best, Martin

. . . gathers NOMOS" ;-) . . .

is really fun!

Slipping on an old favourite this morning and will be slipping into what my kids call "Daddy's sleepy chair" tonight. AOPA Navitimer Oh did I mention it's from 1964. On occasion - she who must be obeyed - wears this vintage GP. This message has been edite...  

lovely Navitimer Ubik. i knew it was from 1964 due to the gold coloured AOPA symbol on the dial. gold was only used from dec 63- dec 64. a bit of valuable info i found out recently which will pay dividends when i have the money to look for one myself. i w... 

But this very nice AOPA has something more... Go figure why... You definitely have a splendid collection, my friend. HAGWE in your " Daddy Sleepy chair "! Nicolas

The gold wings with AOPA were used much earlier Graham, right back to the first ones in the Fifties. It is believed that that where they appear on the dial like mine, without the words Breitling and with AOPA inscribed on the wings that these were sold di... 

thats interesting Ubik. was it possible that i was looking at a cosmonaute with AOPA wings? either that or the information was totally incorrect. it was on a posting of a watch for sale so that might explain the 'over description'. the serial number was c...  

i must get my research correct before i post lots of us '64 baby boomer here including at least 3 moderators. best Graham

That might right for the Cosmo. You're always so generous with your info in your posts Graham, it's always a pleasure reading them.

we're all here to share our knowledge Ubik and i often think that posting a watch without any info is a tiny bit selfish. we all want the info to go with the watch. i have a lot more info on the Enicar, but i'll post it only when someone asks for more inf...

On my wrist this Friday HAGWE Best Patrice...  

What a greedy friend you are! I'm happy to see you with a 1675. HAGWE, Nicolas

He he.. couldn't resist. It's just my E855 in the first snow fall this year and not the real Snowdrop E877... I will try and get hold of my better half's wrist later today Have a great Friday all! Nikolaj...  

No message body

... i was hoping to see the real Snowdrop when clicking your post... however, your E855 Snowdrop is still surprising me stefan

Hi Stefan, Sorry to let you down, but I just couldn't resist the play of words when I saw the snow outside this morning. I agree with you though that the E877 is an impressive watch - but the E855 is not bad either Yours is a mesmerizing memo as well and ... 

Not my watch, but a good friend et me play with it for some days. Will post something about it on the VC forum soon. HAGWE, All! Nicolas...  

Like your expression "VC Calatrava" - that really sums it up nicely. I simply fall for these small vintage classics, although more in the Omega realm for reasons of affordability . Mes compliments á toi, anaesdoc

I can't wait to see more of this one. What is it with VC and the placement of their crowns???? Hurry up, Vlad, post some more on this one....please! Best, respo

A nice marvel, which is not without reminding me a PP, unless the PP reminded us the VC? Best, Nicolas

... have not seen this piece before. the crown at 12 o'clock ís quite interesting, it looks like pocket watch style?! look forward to see your post on VC forum soon. thanks, stefan

I love these style of dials. May I know more about this watch? Tyler

So, please be indulgent, as I'under the charm, and didn't get serious informations about it. Best, Nicolas

comes to my mind Looking forward to read/see more ... Oliver

.

Now, the problem is to know if I will add it in my collection, as it is an unexpected one... Best, Nicolas

. . . and if it's not yours yet, Nico, I'll bet it will be!

It wouldn't be reasonnable to add this one. But is Life made to be lived in a reasonnable way? ( Il Consigliere ).

HAGWE everyone! -- Richard....  

We will never grow up! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

Very special bear BTW...My friiend has her eye on him but, I come with the package! ;-) -- Richard.

I thought you will show us something from Hermes: Birkin bag==> Bearkin bag Yours is not from Dresden as well, even it reminds me some old pic´s ... Nice picture, anyway. Oliver

Bearkin and I wish you a great weekend! -- Richard.

i thought this would bring out some shots from the ladies...where are those wrist shots? i was hoping to get some ideas, but it seems the men just saw this as another occasion for providing pictures of what they've got.... chris

My better half (or better: the other part of the team) has been wearing this watch ever since I gave it to her (after studying catalogues in advance ). So she really practiced the "One watch, one year" trial successfully! Thanks for the permission to post...  

...and I really like it ;-) HAGWE...  

another excellent Heuer Jeff, congratulations. Graham

I particularly like the depth of the sub dials! Nikolaj

but SHE is not in and therefore I have to use stock pictures ... Her almost 24/7 watch: ... and sometimes she asks for even more chronograph: If she has to choose between a nice chronograph or diamonds, she would go for the chronograph HAGWE Oliver...  

but never get tired of it! Dirk
