Guten tag Pink Panther! Unfortunately this year saw no additions from Glashutte for me, personally that is, unless you want to consider the Lange 1 moonphase Tokyo boutique edition which i got for my dad ( his very first Lange, and watch too in 30 years),...  

I'd be happy with even one of those! congrats on those--I just wonder how you decide which to wear on any given day! J

All the watches I have bought this year are precious to me. However, just as the answer to the question "Which breath of air is the most precious to you?", so the answer to your question is "the most recent one". And this one arrived this week, so....... ...  

Great acquisition and I have to get my hands on one of those maybe in the future! Stephen

Thanks for the thread PP. This Journe RdM is the highlight of my watch year. Partly because of the fellow Purists that helped me achieve it. More to come ... Andrew...  

I bought five watches this year but, primarily, I discovered independents and I think my most precious is the the first independent: Which is not to denigrate any of these which are all rather precious to me.... This message has been edited by SethRL on 2...  

If the question was the most precious watched obtained (as opposed to purchased), it would have to be these two. They were my wife's father's watches which her family (after 18 years of marriage) just gave to me on my birthday! If anyone can provide any i...  

In going through all my acquisitions (most for my collection, but a few gifts as well), I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had little buyer's remorse and that was mostly from paying a bit more than I planned - and considering how many of my purchas...

not one I would normally consider if shown only a pic--but it looks GREAT in person and on your wrist.

From this: To this:...  

I've bought these 2 watches that I have always considered as my grail.. Those 2 are my favorite purchase of the year.. I also purchased 2 other PAMs.. The 292J And the 1A.. It is a very big leap for me as my previous purchase was at the end of 2007, my fi...  

which of them gets more wrist time? Cheers

has been on my Short List for a long time now.! even with my latest Purchase (that is ONLY 4 Days Old ) i'm already looking at the 249 .!! i know it's Sick to just think about another Watch so soon but i'm sure you'd understand me Sam !! ;0)))) Cheers Ton... 

I've been thinking to get a 232 since the day I got my 217... Only if we live nearby, we could share our 249 and 232... Easier and cheaper solution I guess... Cheers! Sam

Cheaper that is if we could Swap Watches ;0))) (and would be my Pleasure too) ... but unfortunately you're a Few Miles away from me.. anyhow, keep the Faith. you'll get your 232 someday (in the Near Future) Cheers Tony

just got the 217 a few days ago and i have also Purchased ( over the Phone ) an IWC from an AD back Home ( Beirut -Lebanon) . i don't have the Watch on my Wrist yet. but it will be when i go there for my Christmas Vacation in a couple of Weeks ;0)))))) an...
