I should have jumped on that one... Aaah, regrets... Best, Nicolas ...

I need a diver with a tropic strap in my life.

But yeah, too bad you didn't pick up that vintage Fifty Fathoms, a very good looking vintage diver indeed.

I still bang my head for that. [nt]

Can't get them all, how many of us are saying we should have bought a Nautilus and 15202 when they could have been had for under retail?

I mean, you got the Duometre, Choc Diver I love, FREAKING MINUTE REPEATER!!!, so you made out okay. And that is ONLY a tip of the iceberg for your current collection. ANNDDDDDD... you started your collection over from scratch, albeit, without choice. But ...

Well, +I am happy with my collection, but still have some missing pieces to make it even better. [nt]

You have an awesome collection!

By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-05:49

Envious 😉😉😉

Well, it took me 23 years... [nt]

By: amanico : July 21st, 2020-05:59

Good point, I respect that. [nt]

By: K-Lo : July 21st, 2020-06:12

I could never believe I would write this one day... Wow, 23 years! [nt]

That is a pleasure. [nt]

Too many regrets, too little time. Just keep going on... [nt]

Wise words, mon ami. [nt]

Uncanny how the patina on the dial matches so well with the bezel numbers 😳 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : July 21st, 2020-13:37

Which is quite often the case...

By: amanico : July 21st, 2020-13:52

Here is another one. ...

Here is where I can say that I prefer the patina from a vintage piece. Much more so than on most of the vintage Sub dials I have seen. Something about the matching dial numerals and bezel [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : July 21st, 2020-13:55

I understand. That's the magic of these vintage FF. [nt]

By: amanico : July 21st, 2020-13:57

Agreed 👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : July 21st, 2020-14:05

The only problem is to find one, and a correct one. [nt]

By: amanico : July 21st, 2020-14:06

Hence why I don't even bother to look 😂🤣😂🤣. Too many other beautiful watches out there to hunt without driving myself crazy looking for a needle in a haystack 😉 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : July 21st, 2020-14:10

Well said! [nt]

By: amanico : July 21st, 2020-14:10

😉👍 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : July 21st, 2020-14:14

Does the guy in Corsica have this one too??? [nt]

By: aperna : July 21st, 2020-14:40

Naaaah. He has another one, and a splendid one. [nt]
