Ok its coming to the end of the Year.... What is your last watch for 2009 ?
Hi With 2009 coming to a close... What is your last watch purcahase for 2009 ? For me I thought it was going to be this Omega Seamaster chronometer date , at lest that is what I told my wife !! Then this Tissot Navigator came along... Then that was going ...
Ditto! I was just talking to cazalea about . . .
. . . how lean 2009 was . . . the only outlays were for servicing and straps. My fingers are crossed for 2010 . . . cordially, Art
Offered Art a fine watch and he turned it down; rather pay his rent
I would have thought that a moderator had an obligation to help Purists in their pursuit of "last watch of the year"! Now I might have to sell something. But can't say what - gotta have another look - what can I part with?
Why would Art need your watches?...
He now has Mom's Longines to keep him amused.... Cheers, pplater.
I have the pleasure to say that I fear to be in the same situation, Bill.
It had to be a JLC Military WWW, then I found a nice Vintage JLC Chrono, and came a Rolex 5508... But it may not be the last one... Your Tissot Navigator is a pure marvel, my friend. To be followed. Best, Nicolas
I already "screwed up" again.... look at this UG
HI I posted this for scan day... Ok now this is my last purchase for 2009, ( 4 watches later). I have been looking for an example of this watch for years... the few examples I have came across had movements that were signed "adjust to two positions and te...
Ding Dang, PP...
One has something to see with Racing, another one may have something to see with Military... I swear, after that, this is all! Best, Nicolas
I can believe this only because.....
you are running out of days my friend...... However I would suggest not to pick up your racing until January so. along with Patrick, make it a special event and pick all three up at the same time.... Cheers
This one has a superb patina!
And the combo with the Nato is awesome. Congrats! Best, Nicolas
bought this a week ago. think it should be the last watch for 2009, but...
but i can't promise for myself, he he. stefan...
I'm afraid that...
I fall into the same degenerate category as Bill (great Navigator!) and Nicolas. My last two acquisitions have been extremely satisfying, but I can't say for sure that I won't find another before the end of the month! Here's a sneak preview of my latest (...
Yes...
it's powered by a good quality cal. 140 movement. The Sporto model line was successful for a number of years, beginning in the mid-fifties.
What a great looking, cool Zenith, Tony!
I'm amazed by its looks Congratulations! Marcelo
I think this Langematik will be it.......
but you never know, we still have about 20 day left! Tony...
for me it's the...
PPro ABR I got back towards the beginning on the year. With the new year fast approaching I don't see anything new on the horizon just yet.
Amazing! . . .
. . . a PPro ABR in the collection, and we've just made your acquaintance recently. Pull up a chair and tell us a bit more, please . . . intrigued, Art
:-) When the iron's hot, you've got to strike, Bill!
Congrats on your latest pickups! I'm out of funds for '09, so there will be no more purchases. My last pickup was this one over the summer. I'm still enjoying it! Cheers! Daos...
that silver dial is very beautiful
what a beautiful watch that i didn't notice late to da party but mine might be this baby pic curtsy of kong or new for 2010 Best, Ed~...
Thanks, Ed!
I'll be curious to see if you end up with the Bulgari before year's end. Cheers, Daos
THx Daos~
Hehe, i m trying to get a nice number and been told they r starting delivery Cheers, Ed~
This was my watch purchase this year

This one is on its way - AP Grande and Petite Sonnerie This message has been edited by SteveH on 2009-12-12 08:19:15...
That is my favorite AP.
I really like to listen all day long, 12:45 is the best time of the day/night. Perfect for new years eve. Enjoy. JerryW
For me it was the Supermarine 500...
... though one never knows what impulse (likely fleamart type stuff) might jump up in the next few weeks!...
I thought I was done for the year until yesterday.
When I bought my JLC Master Perpetual back in September I told myself I was done. Yesterday I saw this in the case at a local store. This morning I went back and bought it. I'm not generaly interested in quartz watches, but this is one of the exceptions. ...
Looking forward to have it on my wrist for the New Year
It has been already delivered to a dear friend who is in Richmond, VA. He is coming back to Brazil in December 28th. Can´t wait much longer Marcelo This message has been edited by marcelo on 2009-12-13 12:53:59...
My husband hopes this is the last one this year..
I've been waiting for a clean one and the price was right. seller's pic - hope it arrives before Christmas. Not a fan of mystery dials, but the 70s Zodiac's are great and it is a 36000bph... Ginger...
Nice Zodiac, Ginger...
I'd like to see an image of the movement after you receive it. By the way, how many Zodiacs do you now have? Best regards, Tony
Tony, here's a pic of the non hi beat model's movement
an interesting watch with 3 layers of what i believe is plastic to make up the mystery dials. pity mine isnt a hi beat like Gingers. Graham...
Will post as soon as it is delivered
in the next two weeks. Hope no more sneak in this years, need to save up for 2010. JerryW
this one snuck up on me and voila, it's mine
I'd been looking for one of these for several years, then there was a thread about it last month, and suddenly there it was! I hadn't planned an end-of-year watch...but had to grab this Jutzi. All the comments made earlier about this watch hold true, at l...
i have one incoming before xmas i think...depending on shipping
the problem is that i cant show you a pic as it a new release and i'm not 100% sure what it will look like. it will be something a little different, perhaps even very different and all will be revealed when i get it. i've bought so many this year that nex...
i thought i'd finished, but this fell in my lap today
it might be old, it might be cheap, it might be lightly worn and it might be oriental, but to me it is just that little bit special. it is the Seiko 5710-8980 Manual wind chronograph made for the 1964 Olympic games. firstly its from 1964, secondly its the...
Very nice one !!!
The bezel looks so cool, dial look so cool, and the push-button at the right place .... . Congrats Graham, you did it again . filip
Hey Graham great minds think alike! but when i opened the box...
Hi G When I saw this watch for sale i knew i wanted to get it. I thought it would be my last watch for the year..... This example is about two years newer then yours.... Then i took a closer look at the caseback.. and a closeup.. Well what I originally th...
Bill, thats a shame,...
Bill, thats a shame, a good watch knackered. i hope mine is in better condition, the pics dont show any 'hairs' :) i do know of one for sale in US, but its top dollar. yours also has the wrong bezel, it should be black plastic. the steel looks good though...
Disagree G .... The steel is correct for the later years
Hi G The watch I had was from 66 and the steel bezel is correct. But it was mailed back to its owner.... Good Hunting... Bill PS please email me the link you mentioned !
you got me again Bill...
you got me again Bill :) i must admit i assumed they all came from 64, the olympic year, but again i'm wrong. incoming email with link on. best Graham
