·From 2018:
Still hunting for most of my major grails, but I successfully lightened the collection a bit in 2019 and added some good pieces while being fairly disciplined overall.
------------------------------- IN -------------------------------
------------------------------ OUT ------------------------------
My ongoing hunt for half-a-dozen or so "grail" pieces will continue ... they are all vintage chronographs or divers - some military-issued. I would like to continue to stray into Japanese territory, as I learn more about vintage Seiko. I will also be happily opportunistic, and buy interesting watches that appeal to me, as well as watches in excellent condition. I'm always learning, and I'm sure there are many fantastic watches out there that I haven't even heard of yet.

·No big changes this year, just a little refining. Earlier this year, sold my SMPc and Planet Ocean 8500.
And bought a 2531.80 and a 2201.50 to replace them.
Also bought my first Rolex in 2019––a 114270 Explorer.

··schizophrenic pizza orderer and watch collectorWell since you asked
Tenant went rouge on Meth/ice and left $10k damage that insurance didn’t cover and didn’t pay rent for 3 months, took another 4-5 months to fix without tenants
Needed 8 new doors
Holes punched in heaps of walls
One room had over 200 holes in the wall
Painted without permission around furniture
broke in after they were kicked out stole garden shed and white goods
Carpet well
so only one watch this year.
@cristos71 you made my year buddy “ Thanks heaps Mate ”
Ahhh that feels better.....😉

·I only joined at the end of August, with a bit of interest in vintage speedies.
Purchases since then..
Moonwatch only book
Flightmatser only book
The Watch book
A Moon Watch Story book
Speedmaster MkII (just gone for a service)
Wife bought me the Flightmaster as a birthday gift
Dabbled with a Geneve Dynamic for a few weeks, too small but nice to see one in the flesh..
Missed out on a '68 transitional speedmaster , regretted it ever since as prices are now 50%+ over what i should have bought that example at
Pretty much forgetting the pre-moons now, will probably go for a ST1 or ST2 now, although a IWC Portofino 8 days is taking my eye today
