Nothing quite as interesting as a lot of what has been posted so far but it's made me extremely happy to have had the opportunity to keep this guy in the family from @140dave

I have @JwRosenthal to thank for the Marcel Renoir:



And @Tony C. for the Genève:



Was lovely to haul them out of their slumber for this shot, and honestly, I have no excuse for not wearing either more regularly! Glorious, both these watches are. I'm so grateful to both gentlemen for allowing me to purchase them, and to OF for the platform and all the temptations posted daily. 2021 was that much more tolerable thanks to our community. I love very nearly all you miserable, whiny bitches!

With the Can and everything, a really nice pick up!
Agreed. A great deal and an absolute gent to deal with too.

You bought that Zenith! Awesome!

It was a "passion over reason" purchase (credit to @Rudi99 for this expression) as I didn't now anything about the watch, I just wanted it 😁. Plus it's smaller brother (or rather grandfather) of my wedding watch, which I hardly wear anymore given its large size of 42mm.

What a great thread, and I’m surprised I missed this until today. It was a good year of collecting for me and 4 watches came from the OF community. My thanks to:

@ConElPueblo for this Certina


@JwRosenthal (and my apologies that I keep bringing this guy up, I know it was a reluctant sale), for this Longines


Another Longines from @No Mercy

And to @tmw57 for this 2846


I’m noticing now that there’s kind of a theme here!
