Bregeut from Dubai
Found this Breguet 3800 with Trititum dial at a dealer in Dubai, must have been sitting in a drawer or a safe for years. in perfect, virtually untouched condition.
I already owned a 3820 Transatlantique from 2006 but having both side by side, I clearly prefer the Aeronavale. So I sold the 3820 and never looked back.
Have a great weekend.

Actually most of my Watches were bought travelling, for the simple reason, because they were not available in my country. MY Tag Heuer Autavia (UAE LE), i bought in Dubai. It was issued in collaboration with Sediqqi and Sons, 150 Watches in Total. I love ...

Souvenirs du Mali et de l'Inde
Other than a bargain Omega Seamaster purchased in Lindau & that I no longer own, I have not purchased a keeper watch overseas (yet!), so thank you Abel for the option of memories from world travels: And the Indian Ocean And also just to dream ...
Hello dear Giles! Glad this theme inspires you to remember fond places! Your two beauties you show are truly lovely!
Like so much your shots and props! Thank you for sharing my friend!
Gracias mi amigo!
Fond memories indeed. You are, as ever, most kind. Your Breguet and Geophysic are definitely my 'cup of tea' All the best, Giles

Great to hear!
We‘re still in the adaptation phase. Apparently it’s usual if you have kids that there’s someone sick all the time for the first six months after moving here - which makes life a real challenge for my wife 🙁 And then there are small things not functioning...
From a recent business trip.
It was in a beautiful place in California, but I was stuck in a conference room most of the time. This piece, however, allowed me to bring the beauty outside indoors. Here’s a photo that I took on a quick break. ...
It’s a beautiful place, indeed. I’m lucky to go 1-2 times per year for business.
I try to take some extra days at the beginning or the end of my meetings so I can actually enjoy the scenery.
Thank you BMR for sharing that wonderful timepiece in such a beautiful background! A beautiful watch can bring enjoyment anyplace!
So nice you had this wrist companion during your meeting! Hagwe! Abel
I am stretching the theme a bit...
... with a watch that traveled from Miami to Hamburg to end up in my collection, but I easily would have traveled there if it had been necessary... that’s how special it is to me 😉 The one most of you very well by now, the limited to 12 pieces Blancpain L...
I understand well what you mean Henrik! This is an awesome watch well worth chasing anywere in the World! What a dial! Your Blancpain collection is ...
... Breathtaking! And your photography stunning! Thank you so much for sharing these shots here! Hagwe! Abel
indeed I like everytime when I visit Schaffhausen....
I actually visited the Moser manufacture and had a lunch with someone there before buying the watch...special experience
The Moser fume dial is mesmerizing!
The 2nd moser in this thread already. Two thumbs up!
thanks NT....
actually I have to say I got the watch primarily because of the case...I wanted a massive palladium made case....I love it...
Great memories...
Used to travel to Schaffhausen all the time many years ago, albeit before the resurgence of Moser. Great shot!
Superb example of a ZRC Brauner! A true grail for diving watches aficionados! And so nice to view your pictures enjoying summer with your child!
That's best way of enjoying Life! Thanks a lot for sharing these shots! Hagwe! Abel
A Lange from Tokyo
When I was alerted to this uncommon 101.027x for sale in Tokyo by Ianny the Master Enabler, a flurry of emails ensued, and I booked the watch. By coincidence my family was due to travel to Tokyo 2 months later, so I opted to pick up the watch in person, r...
That´s a wonderful Travel/Watch story my friend NT931!! Thanks a lot for sharing with us! I know well the feeling... the anxiety during the wait, the trip, the excting moment of...
... straping the watch for first time! And the Metro trip back to the apartment with that big smile on face. Great! Stunning shot of this most awesome Lange 1, an iconic model from the Brand! Keep loving and enjoying my friend! Hagwe! Abel
i realised i have bought quite a few watches on my tris,albeit totally unplanned purchases
From the swatch at Sydney airport during the height of quartz madness to more memorable pieces in Bangkok the spring drive 'blizzard' A London acquisition--- a cool favourite of mine Unexpected buys,all of them, but that's why life is interesting! HAGWE ...
Hello Halkcb!! I see you belong to the same club than me! Traveler and buyer of watch souvenirs! Lol! What a better souvenir for a watch lover?? Thank you for sharing your beautiful...
... timepieces which I´m sure will remind you of the places visited forever. I also own the Red Reverso and the Snowflake and love them so much. The Reverso bought in Milano and the GS in Miami just a month ago. Hagwe! Abel.
Hi Abel
I do recall you picking up your snowflake recently and your reverso rouge all those years ago. I'm sure you have and will continue to enjoy them in the future. Best henry
Thank you Henry for recalling these watches and your good wishes. They are very enjoyable timepieces indeed and true souvenirs of those trips. I also hope you ...
... will keep loving and enjoying yours! Cheers! Abel
I have a few.....
All unplanned purchase, right place at the right time Have a great weekend! SF Holiday in Japan Holiday in Swiss Work trip to Hong Kong ...
Thks Abel. I don’t usually plan any visits to watch dealers unless I happen to see them.
Totally random so if I find something interesting, that would be bonus for the trip
My pleasure dear SF!! I can well understand your point. As a matter...
... of fact it happens to me many times. To be surprised by an unplanned find can result in a wonderful purchase and souvenir for sure! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Great pics!
From the days when picking up a sports Rolex was still an event not involving a wait 😉👍🏻
On the 2 rolex....
The DSSD, launched in 2009 I think but was so hot that there was no stock and selling above retail so never mind. In 2012, while holidaying in swiss, I saw Bucherer in Lucerne and walked in....know what, last piece and the lady even gave me a discount! Th...
My one vacation watch has my favorite story...
I had carefully researched a Tudor Grantour and planned out its purchase during a cruise to the U.S. Virgin Islands. We got to the AD, tried on a few Grantours, and settled on my watch. After that was the whole purchase ceremony, buying, sizing, warranty ...
Flying Time
I have never bought a watch on my travels, but I have traveled to buy a watch. The first time I saw one of these for real was on a GTG in Paris. I was smitten. When I saw this one I knew I had to get onto a plane to Milan, I spent a very pleasant afternoo...

Wow Stefan! The tritum patina makes for a Big difference!! I love the Type XX so much!! and those tritum markers make it so much charming!!...
... that´s a wonderful Travel souvenir, no doubt!! Thank you for sharing! Hagwe! Abel
This is not an easy topic for me, Abel...
Still, after some thought last night I found a watch that qualifies 😊 It’s my Doxa Searambler. While Doxa can more or less only be purchased online, at least the order for this one happened while I was traveling. It seems you have had many memorable acqui...
Of course it qualifies my dear friend KM! The Searambler...
... is a most beautiful diving watch. Though we usually associate Doxa divers with an orange dial I find the grey/silver dial of this variant most elegant and classy. My Doxas were also ordered through their web site but are also travel watches as I made ...
All amazing! Everyone
This is my favorite category, to the point where I’ve ‘almost’ made a promise to myself to only buy watches when I am traveling. There is so much more meaning and memories. I have several in my collection but here is one favorite : First, a Rolex 16610 (2...
Nice story you share my friend Descartes! Your Submariner with Rome background has an additional value for you with this story behind and this...
... Makes it very special, Agree with you that buying watches during travels add more meaning and memories to them. By some reason I can not view your pictures. Will you please check them? Thank you so mucha and Hagwe! Abel
Here are photos. Not sure why they didn’t come through before
Full set La Faraglioni At I’ll Riccio on Capri At Conca del Sogno in Nerano ...
Thank you so much dear Descartes! Some winning shots here! Great watch and papers! You know my fondness for the Submariner!
Thank you so much for sharing! Abel
