I've been on a bit of a lucky hot streak just recently, with these 3 all arriving within the last 2 months. It was never the plan, but after finding 2 of them locally and one in Germany my Constellation fever just completely took over and there was really nothing I could do to prevent it from happening!

I have never bought from a dealer, It's a collecting principle of mine. Half the fun is finding the things, right? I've also been collecting long enough to appreciate that some watches will cross our paths only the once and, if possible, to take the opportunity that presents itself or possibly never have that chance again. With each one of these it was the same feeling, the moment was now and with no hesitations!

Beautiful examples. Completely agree with you about the hunt. Brings so much more satisfaction!

 

They look gorgeous ... looks very bling bling

how you guys track them? care to share some tips?

And yeah please put me on dibs for 2853

 

Wow....now you are faster than me...........

 

Yeah i desperately looking for a Deluxe....

 

Yeah i am overusing the word "desperate " need to find more words along with watches

 

frantic, rash, delirious, obsessed, eager, rabid, frenzied, overzealous, antsy........

 

Jonesin'! Forgot about that one.

Oh, don't bogart all the 18ct Constellations Mad Magpie. How about "Omagpie"? Omega blended with magpie....

 

I thought you only knew about watches ....

 

No, I also wrote articles (well, mostly about watches ), and training material for my industry. I used to keep a thesaurus in my work bag so on slow days in the store I could write. Using a variety of words makes reading less repetitive.

 

actually I am done sooner than i thought .... it will be one or at the max two and then i have to retire until next year.

 

Impressive Boss!
