Encompassing all areas of horology, must be difficult deciding which watch to wear? Thanks for sharing.

Chronographs

To avoid repetition, I am omitting the Perpetual Calendar Chronographs that I have already posted in another thread. Still, I found this to be the largest contingent in my portfolio FPJ Octa Chrono Audemars Piguet Offshore Queens Road Patek 5170G Vacheron...
Yesssss

The VC CdV is a beauty. The VC Harmony is just very special. We don’t see them enough. I own the calendar version which isn’t near yours The VC Overseas is a very versatile everyday watch. I noticed you’ve got the previous model. I’ve got the latest model...
Very observant

Sounds like you are a VC fan
I am

Indeed I am a great VC lover. We own quit a few and the brand just sings to me
They all sing to me.

Blows my mind!!

What a collection.... have any one of them on your wrist you are one lucky guy, owning them all is almost beyond imagination. Huge congrats, Sam. Being a VC kind of guy, I love the CDV and the Harmony. Besides, my vote goes to the 5960 (this one just keep...
Thanks.

If you fancy the 5960, now is the time to pull the trigger as the price has come down by 40% from the peak. The Octa chrono, on the other hand, was recently auctioned at an incredibly high hammer price...though certainly not bad news to me
Oh my

I would pick in no order The FPJ Octa FPJ Centigraphe The PP 5370 and 5905 And the Lang and hayne monopusher The datograph Dream collection my friend
Interesting order
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-07:35
Though you probably know that the 5370P is 3/4 times as expensive as the FPJ, and the Dato Lumen is almost double the price of the Centigraphe... Still, you must have picked the order for good reasons
In no order I put them
By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : April 5th, 2020-08:36
But if I’m pressed to pick two The 5370 and the datograph lume
I see
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:15
That makes more sense
LOL

I hurt my ear while diving so I don't have any minute repeater wrist watches, though my next target might be a 5178R... Interesting that you also picked the Lang & Heyne. It is also one of my favourites - PT case, enamel dial, Roman numerals, heavy weight...
I was supposed to attend a Journe function

Last month in Geneva but unfortunately had to cancel due to the pandemic. I am eager to find out what the new Resonance will look like...
Two stand out for me

Vacheron Constantin CdV and Blancpain Air Command. What lovely pieces... Regards, George
Yes, one watch per day
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-08:21
I have around 100 watches so once every three months or so I started with vintage watches about 25 years ago and....needless to say, this hobby becomes very addictive....there is always a next target...
Thank you
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:17
Yes, the 5070P has a special space in my heart. It turned out to be a terrific investment too
LOL, thanks
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:20
A couple of my friends queried why I buy the 5905 in addition to the 5960. I recently applied a beige strap to the 5905 and it makes a huge difference...
I will, I will....
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:21
What is better to do during this lock down
I agree with the 5370
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:23
but must admit the Centigraphe is not an easy piece to wear, fashion-wise...
wow Samwan.....

Interesting choices
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:34
since they are not the most valuable...but I concur
Beyond impressive.
By: TheMadDruid : April 5th, 2020-10:14
But you know that. It’s the best collection of chronographs I’ve ever seen. Of them all the LE Centigraphe is the one I’d probably wear the most.
Thank you for saying that
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:35
I must admit that I have only worn the Centigraphe only once since the acquisition :P
Astonishing collection
By: TeutonicCarFan : April 5th, 2020-11:48
I am drawn to both VC... any shot of the harmony movement (is this launch edition with engraved balance cock)? Also any comparison between the cdv and harmony for movement (I had read people don't like the harmony mono pusher feel), and which you prefer? ...
Excellent points
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:29
I must confess that I wear the cdv slightly more often than the Harmony, simply because the latter is a bit 'loud' - like a chunk of gold sitting on the wrist. Yes, it was the limited edition initially launched.
Thank you Nico

I know you have always liked the 192, from your old posts..

Not a chrono
By: samwan : April 5th, 2020-16:32
but the Patek Worldtime with cloisonne enamel dial (5231J), if I can lay my hands on it...
