And of the kind our significant others usually don’t object to 😉 Btw. when did the watch bug bite you?
Thank you ... It started slowly....
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 23rd, 2019-23:55
As long as I can remember I enjoyed a watch even as a kid. Things just got progressively worse 😉
Wow!
By: batholith : November 22nd, 2019-02:01
Very nice! This was given to me by my father when I was about 10, so early seventies. He wore it while in college in the late 40's-early 50's or so. The next one, this was given to my father by his father in '51 to wear to his wedding. Once again, he gave...
Yup
By: batholith : November 22nd, 2019-02:55
These ones I'm very attached to. The first watch I sold was just a few weeks ago, in fact!
Haha!

Why does it not surprise me?! March, '64.
Thank you sir!

... marvelous salmon dial Type XX!! Of course all other watches are superb pieces as well. Real keepers for life. In my case... I’m sure you know what I will answer: Submariners are my old love! My deep love! An obsession... a passion! My 1680 bought bran...

My old love is the Big Pilot
By: Brandon Skinner : November 22nd, 2019-12:07
Had 2 in the past, this is my third. The titanium I believe makes it infinitely more wearable, and thus a keeper. I took these photos today while walking back to my house from my son's school. It's literally a living photo studio... no processing or filte...
Thanks, its pretty cool

My oldest love affair, one of my grails until today, a dream, which has come true: IWC Minute Repeater in Platinum. My first love: the IWC Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar 3750. this was my first high end watch. I let it go 2009 to trade for my Patek 5146G. Wh...
That‘s too nice, Nico!

This wonderful Ulysse Nardin Sonata, this JLC Titanium Minute Repeater, this Blancpain... I miss your Reverso Septantiéme in Platinum? :-D
Arrrgghh!
By: MTR : November 23rd, 2019-00:16
How could you sort out this Reverso?! 😎 For me one of the most appealing ones ever made! Besides the cheap Reverso A Triptyque. „Cheap“ because as you know it was sold for the same price as a 5711 at Sotheby’s Hong Kong. Funny times. Hahahaaaa! 😊 ...
A few keepers

that launched a thousand emails and visits and calls to fellow collectors, dealers and friends. My Breguet Type XX. It still receives the most attention and compliments when I visit with other collectors. Thanks to Nicolas!! Best to you all, Tim ...
That’s a most beautiful watch Tim!! And as Nicolas...

. . . an old love. Tomorrow, in fact. ;-( My love for watches began at an early age, but never realized until I was in the middle of my forties. Yes, I had a Rolex AirKing, but that was my only watch for fifteen years. Then, in early '01, I discovered Gla...

And so do our preferences. Lovely grey lady and I am sure it will get cherished in its new home! So is the GO period well and truly over?
I think so, yes . . .
By: Dr No : November 24th, 2019-03:54
. . . unless a cal 42 Karree appears in the very near future to absorb the funds. Most likely candidate to make an appearance: a newcomer from Kalbe.
Interesting to know about your journey as watch collector dear Art! ...
By: Subexplorer : November 24th, 2019-02:04
The road we collectors travel is meandering and unexpected so we can understand many watches come and go as our interest and experience changes. It’s sad you let go these pieces bit I’m sure they gave you lot of pleasure and joy and other interesting piec...
Thank you for sharing these interesting pieces dear Tony!!

An old love

My first dive watch from 1988 and she has accompanied me in all my dives since... Scratched and faded, but boy do we have stories to tell. ...
Thank you for your kind words Abel 🙏🏻
By: KamalRostov : November 24th, 2019-04:44
One that I remember to this day was when I went hunting. Lost track of my dive time as I was too focused on a particular fish... Only realised when my pressure gauge was showing ~500 PSI and I was about 100 meters in depth! That was one lesson learned!!!
Simply amazing!
By: KMII : November 23rd, 2019-23:31
I can fully understand the love 👌🏻
