My year 2019 rotation lot.. they are all going back to the safe very soon in exchange for another bunch which I am quite reluctant (those are mainly nautilus, royal oaks, DDs and a some MB&F n Urwerks etc)

Anyhow, I tried to arrange them randomly and inject some colour for your kind viewing pleasure 😉

Hope you all are doing well during the global pandemic.

Be safe!

P/s: Anyone know why these high resolution photos turn out quite blur when I upload? Thank you for your kind feedback.

Did a silver chrome edit so it is not too loud for the front page ..

The original colour photo.

Key Points from the Discussion

The platform's photo upload system automatically filters high-resolution images to optimize storage costs and ensure faster loading times for users with varying bandwidths. While this can reduce sharpness, the current display is still excellent on larger monitors.
The author maintains a separate collection of 'safe queens,' including Urwerk, MB&F, and other significant pieces, which he keeps meticulously wrapped and stored in different countries. He is hesitant to unwrap them due to their 'loud' and 'big' nature, making them less suitable for daily business attire.
There is community interest in seeing more of the author's Urwerk and MB&F pieces, acknowledging that these have been shared previously and are highly appreciated.
A question arose regarding the author's use of both 'James' and 'Jen' in signatures, prompting curiosity about whether the account is shared by a couple.
The collection is praised for its bold choices, tasteful curation, and playful spirit, reflecting a well-built and unique assortment of watches.

bravo, I like them, maybe you can show us the recto side of some?

I think many Purist went to the bank before quarantine.

The clarity of the images is dependent on your device

and on the level of the webmaster's generousity, as he is paying to store gazillions of megabytes that we put up for free, and serve them out from multiple sites around the world. So no matter how high the resolution they get filtered down a bit. If they are too large it also slows the performance for some users on less generous bandwidth connections. There are ways to improve the look (see Casey in the Photo forum) but that looks great on my 27 inch monitor. Cazalea

The bandwidth is a bit limited, hence the blurry effect. Superb group shot, mon ami. Love this salmon RO! [nt]
