    My WIS journey so far (SOTC)

    Nothing to do today, so thought of documenting and sharing my WIS journey this far. My photography skills are rubbish and limited to iPhone usage, but I think you get the picture.

    It all started with this Heuer 1153 (early 70s) which I purchased with my first few pay checks from Nic (heuerboy) - priorities..






    I then received a TAG Heuer twin-time as a present. This meets my more 'dressy' needs adequately:



    On its summery strap:




    It all went downhill from there really, about a year and a half ago when I found this place. Bought a few, kept some of them, and still looking for more.

    This is how the collection stands today:




    A Glycine Airman 18 (12hr main hand):




    A Bell&Ross vintage 123:



    A Heuer 2000 (972.006) and a Mickey watch for beaters:





    And that's all for now folks

    Marios

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Also bought my first Rolex last year, but decided to gift it to my father. Wore it to the beach last weekend - very summery IMO.







    This lot had to make way over the last year:

    Not by me though - I'm actually on the look out for a bezel. Found some aftermarket bezels that should fit, but I've decided to be patient till an original one comes along. The crown is also a TAG replacement, something that I'll also change once/if a bezel has been sourced.

    I'm surprised you let that one go, the LV's been gnawing away at me since I first saw one in the flesh last year. Beautiful watch IMO.

    I presume you have visitation rights though

    Hehe I do have visitation rights indeed, but only took advantage of them twice so far. In all honesty it gives me more pleasure that I've been able to gift it to my father. He is really fond of it and that's more than enough for me.

    You peaked early IMO. That first heuer is beautiful.
