Horological Meandering

Hello all, glad to have joined this forum! I'm Flavio from Switzerland, passionate about watches and cars, talk to you soon and have a nice day! F

. . . tell us a bit about yourself and your passions. (And, hopefully, a picture or two of them.) Art

Hi Art, I'm just a young watch collector (in love with my GMT Maaster II 116710LN) and, if happens, trader. 27 Years old and living in southern Switzerland, I hope you'll all love my pics! Flavio

Watch collector and, maybe, trader. That sounds really interesting (any favourite asset class?). I hope to read you soon and learn more about your watch tastes. Best wishes Alkiro

Thank you, I feel really happy about all these "welcomes" received, I do really think this forum reflects the best watches-lovers site! Best regards Flavio

Hope to see some great post and pictures from you soon 🤗

Thank you for the warm welcome! Flavio

Thank you for the welcome Flavio

You’ll love this place 😊

So tell me, money no object, what would be your favourite watch and dream car?!!

Thank you for the welcome! Well, money no object, don’t want to be trivial but I’d say 458Italia Spider (last non-turbo) and white gold Daytona 116509 blue dial....what about you?

but I would go for the Mercedes SLS AMG which I have test driven twice but would have had to sell too many watches to buy one! My favourite watch money no object would be a tough choice between the Patek Philippe 5959 and the Patek 5029R. Ultra thin split...  

Classy but I wouldn’t be able to buy a real AMG even if I’d sell all my watches ahaha! What about new gtc4 lusso or Amg gtr? I think they’re not example of more complex design but somehow some shapes are spoiled... Thank you again for the welcome!

Considering you are exactly half my age, you are doing exceedingly well. Once you reach 54, you will probably have a 458 Spyder in your garage plus whatever Ferrari is current then! I like the AMG GTR but I feel the SLS has more style with its doors even ... 

thank you Sham! I like the Huracan as well (who doesn't?!?) but i think it's way too easy to drive, somehow loses some thrill! And, unfortunelly, I have to say in today's world speed is hard to reach, fun may be easier! BTW, from a classy many as you, wha... 

except for the fact that I wish it did not have a date window in which case it would not have been called the master control date!!! I have owned two Honda NSXs and they both remain the best cars I have ever owned (and I am comparing it to Astons, AMGs, R... 

...of this kind of makes it look younger and less of the obvious Reverso...by the way my compliments for the car “collection” and for the taste, I like basically all the cars you named and I also think the NSX is such a great car, the new one is not even ... 

The master control date is a targeted at the younger collector. I think it is excellent value for money too!

It'll be nice to talk to you again soon! Have a nice day... Cheers Flavio

I am retired to Malaysia after having lived in the UK for 37 years and as I am perpetually jet lagged, I am normally awake at European time

In additional to learning about your watch tastes, please tell us about your preferences in cars! Welcome again!

Hi Thomas, my great passion as always be (and will always be) about low and large sports cars (Italians are my favorites) but I also love German luxury sports cars and lightweight British ones....I know I love them all! Maybe i’m Just not into off-road an... 

But appreciate and respect all, including hot hatches. Prefer "analog" high involvement high feel cars - make a mistake feel the pain. Only then do you learn.

Hey Thomas, same for me, have owned an Abarth for years and it felt very analog, not like a classic car however. I also had the chance to try a 208 gtb last year and the experience is completely different, from the sensation of he wheel and the pedals to ... 

I am sure you will enjoy your time in this excellent forum.

You will enjoy this place a lot I am sure. Best, Mike

Already in love with this forum! Flavio
