Andy you could do an “ In and out” for bikes too ;)

Well 2023 was another year that I failed to reduce the size of the collection
Outgoing
I sold the FF because, although lovely, it was a bit small for me & had appreciated in value, so why not cash in?
The Dark Star was one I shouldn't really have bought on reflection, but a friend needed some cash & offered it to me at a decent price when they were trading well above RRP. Sold through Chrono 24 eventually.

I'd been after a 103 Ti Diapal for ages. I don't normally look on eBay, but someone tipped me off to this watch. The eBay authentication process seems to work pretty well. The bracelet needed a bit of TLC but has come up pretty well after a bit of effort with Garyflex blocks.
I'd been after this Damasko for a while. I had the bracelet already, but it didn't fit my old DC 67 all that well. It fits the DC 82 perfectly.
An unplanned purchase. I liked SPB381J1 when it was launched but not enough to buy one new. When this was listed for a very good price on the SC I couldn't resist.
The 126711CHNR was one I'd wanted to try for a good while, but I don't have a tame AD & was not prepared to pay over RRP
So the SOTC is now
The PVD Autavia & EZM1 are still up for sale. Who knows what 2024 will bring?

A few in recently,the Mid size Omega yesterday.I was/are trying to reduce the collection!.Might make the effort in 2024.
So out "possibly" are the Omega 2254 & Tudor 54,maybe the Seiko SPB185J1 if I get the 6105-8000 re-issue.

Great collection. I love that damasko- perfection!
That Diapal is cool AF. Definitely my favourite of your pick ups!
2023 leaves me at -1 for the year.
Outgoings started Early 2023 A Scurfa D1 then
Around June, a Seiko sarb 035 departed, and November ish out went another Seiko. This one being an SKX007.
2 Incomings being a Sinn 104 and a Helm Vanuatu.
Current SOTC is pictured.
No big plans in 2024 maybe some will fly the nest.
No Intentions to add to the collection, though I would potentially like a Sinn 857 at some point.
Mrs W was looking over my shoulder while I was looking at your SOTC picture, Andy, and identified all the watches you have in common with my collection! I was a bit surprised how many she knew - means I can't get anything past her now...
Anyway, great selection.
HNY!
