Seemingly I spend way too much time thinking about this sort of thing as I work alone for the most part but the general view going forward is buy less and also sell less .
I have more watches than I wear regularly so I don’t want to add to that side of things but buy what I am likely to wear occasionally at least.
To that end the only watch I intend to buy at some point this year is a Panerai 510
It has all the attributes I am looking for in my next Panerai including 8 day manual wind- so I can leave it one week to the next without resetting the time - current ones are all have 3 day power reserve.
As maybes , ie right condition, time, price:-
A Seamaster 165.024,
Heuer Calculator
Heuer autavia- always like them.
Lasty, it falls under the maybe conditions above but not fixe to this year- an IWC Galapagos .
The reason for this is my son is heavily into tortoises and so the tie up is good . It’s a watch I can see him wearing one day and it’s not the type of watch that’s likely to draw attention.
And stop buying watch straps! I have way more than I wear so just a blanket stop on those ( unless NATO’s for work )
