What, there was a fund? Is it too late to contribute? Does it count a a Federal Charitable contribution?🤔

Well, if it's a straight out donation that's nebulous. However, I received a watch in return and the law is clear that it's not a complete write off then.

Might have leaked into late 2011, but I definitely did more buying/selling than 2011.

You definitely had a good year with your SMPPs though. 😉

Question now is, which one?😉

Yes, is a few lines below Dennis Home Project's fund - I found myself contributing to this one several times in 2012 😁

The ones in the front row are the ones that I am keeping (and acquired in 2012) and will pass down to boys, I have no intent to sell those four watches. The back row were all 2012 as well, but I think the Vulcain, Wakmann, and Seamaster will go so that I can work on a birth year pie pan (1966) for 2013.

As I am typing this, I also remember that I have a Lucien Piccard NOS 1970s in the box set aside, and a Lucien Piccard, Wakmann, and Wittnauer 2000 all at the watchmaker being serviced, these all were 2012 purchases.

First of all, as always, incredibly impressive Dennis.

Second, no way I would have dropped that Blancpain, even for the Centenary and IWC.

Third, even though I am an Omega guy (like you, sensei), the part about your collection I always find the most riveting is Longines. Just spectacular.

Big year for me. My first! Went from one piece, and added:



What do I want for next year??
The easy answer would be just to link to Kyle's blog 😀
But recently I've really been taken by some of the more interesting complications, so I'm looking for:
- a jump hour Benrus or Lord Elgin
- an alarm (probably a Vulcain or Benrus, because of price)
- a triple calendar like this:
-
and of course:
- a birth year Speedy Pro (1981)
- a really good, gold pie pan, no date
- hooded seamaster like Kyle's

I'll probably do up a WTB post early next year!

All of mine are incoming, I have yet to sell a watch. I'm sure I will some day, I just can't bring myself to do it.
