No Omega watch purchases for me in 2021 (or 2020). I decided to jump from Omega to Seiko. In 2021 I picked up these two divers. I'm happy with these two, no complaints, but when it comes to dive watches my go-to is the ploprof which I bought in 2015.


Same here not much for me for a few years watch wise. Also have my go to dive watch sorted. But about to pick up a Seiko



Looking at one of these

2021 was year where I chose to consolidate, with quite a lot of out goings and only relatively few incomings. Here the best of them....

I started the year off with this 18kt 3903 Cioccolatone, which I'm hoping will be a stepping stone on the way to a nice Cosmic 3944 at some point in the not too distant future.



Then came a 18kt RG Deluxe 2700 Constellation and a 14kt Seamaster 2627 with waffle dial.



Next up a late 1940's Longines 30CH 5966, also in 18kt and a nice addition to my chrono collection



I picked up a few black gloss Seamaster's and this Deville with bracelet is amongst the nicest



And finally this 145.022-69 which came with B&P and also the bracelet



Have a great new year everyone!

That is one lovely Speedmaster !!

Only a couple small purchases in 2021, which is super fine with me. The little ladies watch cost all but 59 euros and the Undone watch with it’s funky delightful mother of pearl dial is the one I wear when the weather is crappy and unsafe for vintage.

Had my eye on Undone for awhile now. Interesting watches.

Seiko movement. Steel case. Great finishes. As far as this one is concerned at least, it’s good quality designed for watch enthusiasts. 👍
