Re: SCAN WEEKEND - my choices
In Response To: SCAN WEEKEND - Start :-) ()

Morning folks,

that wasn´t an easy decision, the task to show the 3 most weared watches would be much more easier.
Every watch got an own flavour and charm for different situations. And there are a lot of nice watches out there...

But in the end, these are the current 3 all-time high of feelings:

1. Heuer Skipper

There have to be one Skipper in my selection, of course. Not easy to decide, which Skipper is the coolest, I love them all. But - I think from the proportions of the dial and the colors it´s the 73464 to me.

2. Omega Speedmaster Pre Moon

Maybe the most classical Chrono ever and this was my first chrono. The "pre moon" (was build 1966/1967) is the nicest for me with the not printed Omega-Sign (is it "appliqué logo" in english?) and the stepdial. The size, comfort of the case on the wrist is like it should be - fantastic. If possible on the 1039 bracelet - make noise but looks cool.

3. Abercrombie & Fitch Seafarer

The 3rd was quite difficult, against the „normal“ black 2446 this sister is the winner. One of the most beautiful dials ever, cool 2446c case, 3 compax, charming colors, rare. And hey - it shows the tide for fishermans and skippers! ;)

I am very curios about the next selections… till now not even a suprise just John - never thought you are in pocketwatches so deep! But the history make them worth enough - very nice to read.

Darren - very cool, dude! Olaf - near my taste! and Ben - you made it too easy with 2 choices ;) Peter - the field of diver is large, but your choice is fine. Stewart - the 2446C is full ack, it is similar to the milestones like the Daytona or Speedmaster. But your Carrera will cry the whole day in the backpocket ;) Paul - stunning like expected! But I thought to see the Yachting Carrera... maybe its Nr. 4. And I always wish I had your photographers skills!

All the other - thanks for showing, its a pleasure to explore your most loving gems.
