First month of lockdown (March) i ordered an IWC Minute Repeater from a Warsaw seller. Planned on getting an MR next year and was already browsing around but had to advance the plan due to covid.
In April, i got a Gerald Genta Fantasy Retro Mickey Mouse from a Singapore seller. Always wanted a Genta watch. Saw one in Texas and was planning to get that in June 2020 as i had a trip to the US in the books. But those plans failed so made another plan.
In May, i bought a GO Senator Perpetual Calendar from a Stuttgart seller. Also wanted this (like the MR) to complete a grand complications collection. I already have several complicated chronographs (rattrapante, foudroyante and retour en vol).
In June, i purchased an ALS Zeitwerk from a Boston seller. Ordered this from a local AD. But couldnt wait anymore. Been waiting a year with the AD (my fault as i kept changing my mind between WG or RG).
I was also able to snag a Seiko 6139 with Portuguese day wheel from a Lisbon seller. Been on the hunt for this for a couple of years. To complete my collection of different day wheels (Spanish, Roman, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, German, French and Arabic). Looking for Thai, Korean and Tagalog next.
My local Seiko supplier also sold me a Seiko Zimbe 13 Baby Tuna to update my now 14-piece Zimbe collection.
When lockdown lifted, a client (who is also now a good friend) gifted me with a Habring2 Doppel-Felix Date.
And another Seiko supplier/friend hooked me up with a Seiko 6306 Scubapro.
Ordered some Yemas as well because one day i got bored. Hehe. And got this email from them about a sale and i saw wonderfully designed watches. So far, two have arrived. The Rallygraf Heritage and the Pilot M2.
Last week, got the JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar from a local seller. I wanted the PP 5327J. But my local AD taking too long to get me one. So got the JLC instead.
Unfortunately for me, still have some in the pipeline. Hope it stops.
Would love to share pics but am having trouble posting since last night.
