    I said to a colleague just the other day “I’ve not fancied anything watch-wise in ages” and two days later I bought a 16610LV Green Sub’ and a 116613LB TT Blue Sub’!!

    Outs:
    SS Pepsi
    Blue Skydweller
    RG DD40


    Ins:
    RG DD40 (Buyers Remorse, I bought it back again!)
    16610LV
    116613LB
    1969 5513
    16622 SS YM


    I’m sure there’s been others I’ve forgotten but it’s been a busy year for me watch-wise and I don’t think it’s over yet!!

    I like to having matching pairs of my favourite watches - I have quite a few pairs at the minute. & my current 5711 is the older style dial, so it would be great to have both
    It's just a matter of time...

    Raffe, you’re not curious, you’re doing what, for some reason best known to yourself, gives you pleasure.

    Both you and Ally are as bad in your own way, you impress no- one, you need your heads banging together.

    That's probably the nicest Zenith chrono i've seen, subdials seem a little large but don't jar like they do on the 'tri-compax' dials where they overlap. Bezel edge / grip is odd but likable however the price and limited nature mean it's probably not an option. A shame as it's definitely in the ballpark of something i'd wear.

    I have a problem trying to find the perfect watch, guess I'm a total flipper (apart from the 16710)...

    In this year:
    Rolex 16710
    Oris Staghorn LE
    Tudor Black Bay Blue
    Smiths Seafire
    Precista PRS-83
    Seiko Tuna SBNN035
    Grand Seiko Quartz GMT
    Halios Seaforth
    Smiths Vanguard
    Garmin Forerunner 245
    Seiko SBJ055 Zimbe
    Omega Seamaster 300
    Omega Speedmaster Pro
    Rolex Explorer
    Garmin Fenix 5s
    Damasko DA47
    Victorinox INOX Carbon
    Seiko SARB065

    Out this year:
    Seiko Tuna SBNN035
    Grand Seiko Quartz GMT
    Halios Seaforth
    Smiths Vanguard
    Garmin Forerunner 245
    Seiko SBJ055 Zimbe
    Omega Seamaster 300
    Omega Speedmaster Pro
    Rolex Explorer
    Garmin Fenix 5s
    Damasko DA47
    Victorinox INOX Carbon
    Seiko SARB065

    I've bought my 'grail' watch and now I'm trying to have a general alternative for those days when I fancy a change and also a watch for work and travel.
    Ideally I'd like 3 maybe 4 watches and once I have those then finally I should be done...
    Jeez looking at the list I realise I have a 'problem' lol...

    I never know. The only thing I do know is I am not a flipper. I tend to keep almost everything I buy. (Their have been a few exceptions)
    I had three incoming in short order earlier in the year, all watches I have been after for a while.
    There is nothing I have my eye on bar a ZRC so if the right watch pops up, happy days, if not never mind.

    I think I will sell some watches over the next weeks, there are some which I haven't worn in over a year.

    Haha I did think "no way, a Lange of 25 pieces?!" Then thought it was perhaps another brand but saw the comment re the link.

    That's going to be very, very special.

    Careful though, you wouldn't want people on the forum thinking you were only buying it to get higher up the AD list for a mere GMT

    Starting a second business while recovering from minor cancer treatment has meant that my bandwidth for playing with watches has been severely diminished this year.

    In fact, looking back over my records I realise to my surprise that I’ve only bought one watch in 2019. It was fairly significant for me, though, as I finally managed to get my hands on a mint PRS-2 Dreadnought (originally bought from Eddie by one Ming Thein, incidentally).

    Gratuitous photo...

    Although I should have done, I haven’t sold anything either. I probably have three or four watches that I should let go - the number has now crept up to 17, I’m not wearing them all and that suggests I should unload a couple. It probably won’t happen this year, though.

    So I suspect that I actually am ‘done for the year’...

    And a new radiomar to replace the 753

    Why did the 753 go for another rad??

    IN:

    A nice 6309 from the early 80s
    Turtle STO


    OUT:

    PRS12 - just not being worn.

    I also have a couple of watches I need to move on to new homes and I have to sell on a few G-shocks. I have far too many....

    And that is about it - 2 more than I expected, but happy with that. Lots of ideas I toyed with including a trade didn't materialised and there is one other I am chasing, but that is currently on the backburner. Another quiet year next year I think as I continue to enjoy my collection :)

    Sinn 104 White

    Some major flippage has happened it would seem, but nothing in comparison to some! Leaves the collection 5 strong, so I imagine there will be an outbound soon, in the shape of a Breitling!

    Having stuck with two watches for about 10 years, I've recently increased the collection and got into the dangerous habit of flipping


    In:

    Sinn 104
    Sinn 857
    Sinn u2
    Sinn u1
    Pelagos Blue
    Pelagos LHD
    BB GMT
    BB Dark

    Out

    Sinn 104
    Sinn 857
    Sinn u2
    Pelagos Blue

    When I get round to it (i.e before the end of the year) I'll be moving the U1 and BB dark on. That will leave me with a 4 watch collection - Speedy, 2254, BB GMT, Pelagos LHD. The plan is to stick with that 4 for all of 2020

    Bought a Gen 1 X33 and a Tudor Heritage Black Bay eta this year. Think i’m done. Prices are just too rich these days for me. Glad I bought most of my collection before the massive price hikes and restricted availability.

    I agree with buying parts of my collection before recent price hikes, but there is always value out there - just need to hunt and think beyond the bigger brands. More so now if you do have a relatively solid base collection.
