    On the watch front, probably this . . .

    Scary when you look back at 2018 acquisitions. 8 in total & about 28k (good grief)
    But my favourite must be olive dial 34mm op as it's something she actually likes and wears just about everyday.

    After not having ridden a bike for over 20yrs, I decided to try getting back in the saddle this year... so this little putt-putt was my favourite acquisition.

    Nice bike - looks bigger than it is.

    Bought 2 watches this year.





    I honestly enjoy wearing the Casio as much as the Rolex.

    Only the two this year, but overwhelmingly the Ming 19.01. Technically I paid for it in 2017, but only got it in October. A long wait but so worth it.

    I’d go as far as saying it’s been elevated to one of my favourite watches I own, period. Just awesome!

    Favourite acquisition of 2018?

    It is a close fought battle but this one was my grail and remains my most worn watch this year.



    Its rival was this

    Two incomings for me, an A-13A Pilot and Tudor's BB36. I wear the A-13A more frequently however it's the BB36 that just nudges ahead.

    This Tudor Hydronaut is my favourite this year. Put it on a generic oyster bracelet while I’m looking for a proper Hydronaut one.

    When thinking back for this thread I surprised myself to find just one significant watch acquisition this year. So, an easy choice:



    Oh, and this strap (!):

    This brought the biggest smile to my face: a manual gearbox + 6L of naturally aspirated V12 British Beef.




    The MV Corsa was pretty satisfying with its torquey radial valved engine, unique for an IL4.




    The BLNR was a nice addition too as I found myself travelling over 50 long haul flights logged in 2018.

    My head says it's the Longines Legend Diver I bought back in January, but my heart says it's this G Shock! I was always in the "cheaper is better" school of G Shockery but the purchase of a G Steel in May for a friend's birthday changed that, I bought its big brother a week later and then sold it to make way for this:

    Tough call for me as I went a bit nuts this year with far too many arriving. If I had to call my favourite would have to be this.

    Having joined TZ this year it was always going to be expensive. 5 watches bought, but this was definitely the best (and most expensive):



    And I also mirrored Tony’s journey:

    Some serious purchases here !!

    Mines a touch more modest with Tudor BBGMT and Harrods edition. Could have bought a Rolex GMT CHNR last week but decided against it.

    Undoubtedly this; very good looking, functional and well put together...



    Best of all, it came with a free watch!
