    2017 incomings & outgoings

    I'm very unlikely to buy or sell any more watches this year, so here are the 2017 incomings & outgoings.

    First the additions


    Not a planned purchase, but I couldn't say no to this full collectors set EZM2 GSG9 when it came up for sale








    Then I got the chance to get this mint 3838 Aquatimer








    Next my grail watch was secured








    The last 2 additions were somewhat less expensive but I love them both








    Outgoings - I decided to sell a few a as token gesture towards "balancing the books" given the Nautilus purchase


    The LE MM300 & Pelagos were particularly hard to let go




















    This Glycine only lasted with me a matter of days





    So a relatively quiet year in terms of watch numbers, if not financially.


    I wonder what 2018 will bring? Targets include an Ingenieur 3239, Seiko Scubapro 456 and 6159-7001. The Seiko's have been on my list for years though.

    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    A very nice quintet of arrivals, Andy. Although, I'm bemused as to why there is a rather nefarious looking knife perched atop the Sinn box?

    Indeed, it’s such a good looking watch.
    It's just a matter of time...

    All very nice and I would have traded to end up with the watches you have now.
    The PP is beautiful.
    Lots of people seem to choose this over the 5726, did you look at both?

    I can understand why it was a wrench letting the Tudor,MM and Junghans go as all are really lovely watches. I have to say that I particularly like the Aquatimer but I'm afraid the PP is,for me,a lump of ugly.
    As always though,it's interesting to see your annual movements!

    Great taste in all things metals. Almost like a more refined/better version of my own

    And you perpetuate the spam by quoting it.

    Well I never?

    Just done another deal. Collection arranged for tomorrow.

    I'm replacing a watch I very much regretted selling a couple of years ago.

    Pics in due course............

    Only the 2 incoming watches in 2017.

    New ceramic sub date and new ceramic GMT master II

    If I had my way then there would have been a couple more in.

    Very nice! Love the PP Nautilus, a really great looking piece!

    Always been a fan of the Junghans max Bill, something that I would definitely like to try some day
