    This just in, a 1960 14381 cal. 551. Now I've long fancied a rose Constellation and I just couldn't resist the urge for this one. Although not quite perfect I think it rounds off quite nicely what has turned out to be something of a vintage Constellation year. I've been wondering if that could have anything to do with joining up here? :D

    In 2013 my New Years Watch Resolution was to create Watch Stash Self Sustainability through the selling to fund the buying that inevitably will take place, unfortunately, as can happen, that didn't go quite as had been hoped for....

    In 2014 I am definitely, seriously, 100%, certainly going to think about implementing that strategy at some tangible point in the not too distant future. There, I said it :p

    Very nice pickup.

    As for the new year's resolution, I made that same one in 2009 - may you keep to it better than did I.

    Love the arrowheads. Love the piepan dial. Love the rose gold Case. Congrats.
    But it's not wise to be so sure it's your last purchase. I decided 2 days ago I was done for the year but how things have changed.:)

    Gavin, this is serious. I know you are a man of your word, but you seem to have compromised yourself here. Fortunately, I can help. Simply route your recent purchase to my address. I will do this for you, to preserve your integrity, and because I believe in you. And that's just the kind of friend I am. :) (don't thank me, it's embarrassing)

    I question the authenticity...

    of the "last of the year" claim. Very nice watch, though!

    Los, my friend, let me know your address and I will send it to you once I am ready but I can't promise if it will be soon. And you do realised we went for it in literally the same minute. And regarding the integrity thing, my wife doesn't buy it. My wife have heard the last watch thingy endless times. :D

    Looks like I earned mine today. Seems like it suits me fine.
