The love of my life caught me looking at a watch on line and as usual asked if I liked it and given a suitable response she has purchased it and hopefully here in a few days, what a girl 🥰
Obviously a pic or two in due course.
This has been a busy year for me, it might be too much work to wrangle up all the pics in one place, but I'll try.
Picked up a Yachtmster in March as a trade for my extra GSOTM.
In April I picked up a 1913 Hamilton pocket watch for my brother's birthday.
That same week in April I did a partial trade of the Yachtmaster towards a Rolex ceramic Pepsi GMT II
In May I bought a 1998 Speedmaster Pro 3572.50 for my son's birth year watch, to give next May for graduation
In June I picked up a Scurfa Diver One in a bake sale on the forum to raise money for Watchdaddy1
Then in July I did a partial trade of my SubC ND for the SD43
Also in July I picked up a Luminox chronograph to match my 3-hand version that I bought 5 years ago
Then in August I bought a 3-month old Tudor Pepsi GMT from a forum member, and added a bracelet
In September I snagged a Timex Q and Seiko "Save the Seas" Turtle
In October I snagged a used Hamilton GMT at half price
In November I snagged a new Luminox at half price
I also won an Oris 65 November LE in November
Arriving last week in December was a Glycine Combat Sub that I pre-ordered in June
Around the same time I received a pair of Hodinkee Swatch 1986 limited (still in the boxes, www pics here)
And arriving next week is an Aquadive Bathyscape GMT LE that I pre-ordered in September
My Rolex Deep Blue had a 50:50 chance of being here before the end of the year, so we will see...
Most of my 2019 entries, not counting the two chronos I previously posted...
Omegas:
I found the parts needed to complete this one:
A few bracelets, among others:
A little gem found by chance:
I discovered that the full size Kontikis are ... well, nice. Duh.
Late & early (correct bracelet in the mail right now):
A Goldengines for some diversity:
... and a Zenith DH I did not take a proper picture of.
Too many of them, I'll probably refocus in 2020. 🙄
Had a great year and found some real gems, I’m all-in on Omega these days and a long way from tiring of the brand.
This is the latest arrival, came in a couple days ago to finish off the year, and I’m pretty thrilled about it.
It’s an MSN-grade 2471, a reference I’ve been looking for for a few years in this kind of condition.
Happy holidays to all.
In a year filled with rising prices and hype watches, 2019 was quiet for me and more about appreciating the watches I have!
These two went to forum members
While this came from a local forum
Planning to make more moves in the collection this upcoming year. Happy holidays all!
