A few have come and gone during the last twelve months...to leave this lot:
Those that have arrived during the year:
I searched a long time for an untouched maxi dial 5513...and then two crackers came along more or less at the same time:
I also searched long and hard for the perfect 1016 & found this one in the most wonderful place...
A pre Daytona to add to the Daytona collection...
The perfect Great White 1665, untouched with the most fantastic patina...
This old Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox came via a part-ex deal (thank you Vince)...
And my first vintage Heuer...
And the rest have been with me all year long...
Firstly the GMTs...an old '65 gilt dial 1675, a 1970 1675 and a 1980 16750...
The other 5513, a ghostly 1968 metres first (in the foreground in the pic with the two maxi's)...
A straight hand 1655 from 1972...
A 1983 transitional 16800...
A 1970 Red Sub...
Another lovely old Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox...
A gorgeous Jaeger LeCoultre 8 Day Perpetual Calendar...
Two old Breitling chronographs...an 806 Navitimer and an 815...
And finally, a few Daytonas...
Zenith black and white...
The 6263 Daytona is the watch I always aspired to have, from the day that I first became interested in watches...I am very lucky to now own three beautiful examples. These are the three watches in the collection that I wear the most..
I've missed a couple of modern ones (16710 and 16610), but there's probably enough pictures above already!
Happy Christmas to TZ'ers everywhere.
