Ano Nuevo
534
Thanks, Nicolas. A year that was a very unusual one for me.
Several of those acquisitions were undertaken due to the wonderful photos and thoughtful postings from you and other Purists, for which I am grateful.
But I don’t anticipate adding so many timepieces in one year again!
Ano “‘Selling’ a watch?? What is that?” Nuevo
What have you collected or disposed this year?
As we close the year thought it be fun to see who has brought watches and out the collection. I had a few too many to start with but look forward to seeing what the community has done
Mainly tudor
Harrods, Qatar dial, chrono All Blacks And others Most recent and giving me more pleasure than expected the FP Journe CB.... loved it already a long tile but when putting it on your wrist magic happens
Very nice topic!
I found my grail watch (IWC Minute Repeater in Platinum) and disposed amongst others this one for it: (Patek 5146G) Best Thomas ...
P.S.
I almost forgot to mention my new Rolex Deepsea Cameron 126660: and the Moser Heritage Pilot Blue Edition for my wife 😊: Best Thomas ...
Thank you, dear Tony.
I feel the same. Can’t wear anything else at the moment. Best Thomas
It’s been a phenomenal 2019!
There were no ‘disposals’ from the collection. After a quiet first half of the year, it’s been rapid fire with one addition after another! Seiko Prospex Diver SPB051 (15 June): Rolex Submariner 114060 (22 June): Omega 1957 60th Anniversary Trilogy Seamast...
The Year of Churn
Great topic for a thread. I began the year with six watches and ended with six watches, but only two are the same. Before and after shots below; planning on a much quieter 2020! ...
Not a bad upgrade! 😃
Now a Patek PC, a second Lange (Chronograph) and a nice Reverso. Glad you kept your FP Journe. Why did you dispose some watches? To fund the others, or do you just want to keep your collection “small”? Best Thomas
basically ...
I trade watches that I find myself not wearing anymore. Here are the things that bothered my about the four watches I sold: 1. The AP never really fit my wrist, despite heroic, years-long efforts to persuade myself otherwise (including an unsuccessful eff...
I have to go back 3 years since 2017....
These last 3 years has been awesome and lucky for me and my wife... 2017 2018 2019 Watches disposed are earlier collections Tag Heuer Calibre 16, Corum Admirals Cup, Maurice Lacroix and the Rolex Sub 14060M Long F which I don’t feel it. Those are before m...
I never imagined 5 Langes in a year...
The last 2 came earlier than expected so have to take it, especially the Odysseus. The Saxonia was originally plan for next year but then with Odysseus coming in the holiday season, have to make my boss happy too Now we have 9 Langes, so happy.
She probably will unless you got her some too 😊
Now you can show her you’re absolutely normal, lol..
You never know, I think now her acceptance level has gone up subconsciously...
You’ll be doing very well, congrats to a great 2020. I also feel I can sit back and relax a bit to enjoy these 3 years’ haul. Thanks Tony.
Glorious ...
... particularly love those Speedmasters. That “long f” ... I know what it is, but is it even a thing? I sometimes wonder why rare details that have no effect on a watch’s performance or appearance are ever inherently valuable.
If it’s advertised by auction house, it will be a Big thing...or a hype thing of being “rare” collectible...
I’m a supporter of 4 brands and will keep it that way, not much “room” for AP, JLC or Indies.
Six vintage Omegas in, . . .
. . . three out. Net gain: 3. One Seiko in. Net gain: 1. One GO out. Net loss: 1. Overall: still gaining. Next year? We'll see. But I've a feeling the ship is changing course. ...
Oh, the collection is already heavily weighted towards . . .
. . . vintage Omega. Next year the tally will be one Seiko, one Grand Seiko, one Glashütte Original, and one Dornblüth. The rest will be Omegas - the modern Rail plus dozens of vintages. There may well be fewer, though . . . right now, I feel like the guy...
2019 is a huge consolation years...I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
The gones The arrivals: ...
Yikes I added too many and didn't let go of enough 🤦🏻♂️

Busy but the collection is going in the wrong direction 😩
My word for 2020 is curation 🤣
I just let one go, as every year ( one to three watches per year are leaving my collection ).
This one is out: Still working on the watch I will get this year, or next year... Best, Nicolas ...
A few have left the collection this year, but this one is the most notable.
A watch that I loved a lot, and grew on me over time too. And while I could pull it off, it was always just a little too big I think. Ultimately it was one of the easier watches to let go as it will not be that difficult to replace if I ever wanted to do ...
It was actually a duplicate of a limited issue
So I still have the make and model that I sold
My 2019 additions
From left, Omega Railmaster Trilogy, Timex Marlin, JLC Atmos Classique Cadran Bleu, JLC Reverso Small Seconds Burgundy, Rolex Air-King. Missing is the Ming 17.06 Copper, which I hope will arrive before 2020 does! Ano “Time for a breather, methinks” Nuevo ...

Of the automatic watches we have some space ok....on the winders
For 3 watches that are somewhere in the world now. Let's see what end of 2020 will ...
It has been a busy year for me too.
Out : Rolex oyster perpetual 114300 and Omega Planet Ocean caliber 2500D. In : Reverso Classique, Rolex Datejust 36 caliber 3235, and Omega SM300 Commander with caliber 2500D. Plus an IWC bracelet for Pilot 3706. I think I'll stop for a while...next year ...
