路Well, I sold more than I acquired this year, but for a good reason you'll see below. First, the additions in 2020 were:
1. 1968 "Transitional"Speedmaster. Bought off Craigslist at a McDonalds 馃榿 After some TLC thanks to Adam Lewis, its a nice little pickup and I'm embarassed to admit, I got it for $2700. It came with a 1039/516 bracelet that had 50 years of accumulated crude that I had to painstakingly disassemble and clean (yuck). Pictured here on a Forstner.
2. 41mm Aqua Terra - picked up as part of a multi-watch + cash trade with another member here. Not something I would have gone out and purchased, but rather than flipping right away decided to hold onto it and see if it grows on me.
3. Last watch acquisition, but not least, the 2nd watch of the multi-watch trade.... unworn Tokyo Olympics Rising Sun. I'd been lusting after this one since it was announced, when offered, I couldn't say no.
4. Some may have noticed I thinned out the collection this year, a few sales were made here on OF, plus several more via private communication (6 sold in total)... all in the pursuit of acquiring this Supra SA 450 wakesurfing boat:

路Although I parted with a couple of pieces, my small collection grew this year, in both senses: Total amount and diameter.
A pair of jumbo Connies joined the club
And a pair of 36mm Seamasters
And some extravagant lugs, 38 & 36mm
And two Chronos, which also marks the entry of my first non-Omega in the collection. Oh, the betrayal!
There is a little more, currently at my watchmaker鈥檚. We became very close this year.

That Glashutte is rather nice, the best of a pretty damn good quartet IMHO.

@Zapatta Thank you. 馃榾 Yes, it鈥檚 a 2713-1, 80 microns:
I found only one other example here in the forum and nothing on eBay / C24, which is a shame. The 38mm make the lugs and the structured dial pop really nicely and I鈥檓 curious about other dial variations.
/edit: After I wrote this I checked again and indeed found one more on C24

路2712 is the same style in 35mm. This 2713 has a full 38mm without crown. Here鈥檚 a movement picture from the watchmaker, if you鈥檇 like more detailed shots feel free to drop me a message. 馃榾
