    Well, make me buy watches...

    Currently on parental leave with my daughter and the little spare time I get I spend on watch forums (so I guess just as before when I was working but not as much :)). So to get some "excitement" and mental stimulation I bought some watches the last few weeks...

    I only bought from auction sites, preferably with bad description, scratchy disl and bad pictures to have some "risk" and by that excitement (and hopefully good/ok deals). Here is the result(after removing scratches from the crystal) :

    Nothing "super valuable" but all have their charm.

    Calendar at six.
    Not a perfect dial but it has "character"

    Constellation with my personal favorite layout with a omega croc strap(needs a new crown though).

    Black even "tropical" dial

    Nothing super special with this one. Like it anyway.

    Honeycomb dial(the strap is tropic rubber style)

    Think I need to chill out with buying for a moment now...

    Cheers

    Yeah, nice job. I like the black, with only even numbers.

    Nice batch you got there! :thumbsup: Let me know if you ever get bored with the black dialed specimen, I'll be willing to take and provide some boredom relief! :)

    I'd be proud to own that group! The gamble of bidding on auctions with dodgy photos and descriptions can be a blast when it pays off. Enjoy your time "off" with your daughter!

    What a deal, paternity leave, no wonder you Swedes are bored. Can't you go chase some Russian submarines out of the harbor? Oh, wait, that was the Finns . . .

    BTW leave the replacement crown on your Connie if you plan to wear, the original hex crowns are hard to use. If you don't plan to wear I might be interested :)

    I was going to guess "nothing", since OF is the opposite of boredom. :thumbsup:::psy::


    The "make me buy watches..." effect is well-documented. As you've proven once again.
