Hopefuly 2022 has been a very prosperous year for everyone here and allowed the arrival of some pieces kept in our respective wish lists. I will return later with my entry and will also share the one which went to a very nice new home. I wish we will be e... 

Best regards Captain

It’s been a busy year; In my parting act for 2022, I recently did a 3 for 1 swap. And am quite pleased with the result Below is an account of what went out and what came in Look forward to hearing about everyone else’s 2022 journey ! Thanks Friends, for r...  

It must have been a difficult decision to trade the Omega Seamaster and the other three.

Difficult to part with the 2254, although I still have one Seamaster left in rotation, the blue aqua terra which is a very versatile daily

Was also charming and difficult to part with, however I still have the Sub to scratch that itch! It was easy to move the RG JLC when I knew the 1815 is it’s replacement 😎

Is a skill I have yet to develop 😉 But knowing what is going in on your end I definitely understand your choice 👌🏻👍🏻

In: ...  

That’s a great combo !

For my rotation, I am left with Sub, Aqua Terra and Lange! My tantalizing trio 😂

Enjoy your beauty so much!! Hagwe! Abel

The Lange is sublime of course but the Seamaster also has a very appealing understated element to it 👌🏻👍🏻

Just in time for Christmas! ...  

Have a great weekend!

In either case a fitting finale 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻

Just the group shot of all three 👍🏻

I see a space still available… what could be on your list fir 2023 ?

Really enjoyed this Rolex for a while, but decided to let someone else. Was not the size as I like and can wear larger watches (like the Panerai 127 I own now), but the weight was getting to be a bit much. Looking to replace with Pepsi model. ...  

... birthday. A few years after that, I was offered a Cameron version and I decided to give it another opportunity as I fell in love with it. I´m happy I did. The dial is fantastic and I think that when we really fall in love with the watch we can bear it... 

It’s a great piece, I had the first gen Cameron —congrats!

But I feel that full titanium was the way to go, as its a better option for a superlative dive watch of this size.

And a handful ins: ...  

All beautiful timepieces which I´m sure you are giving you much pleasure to wear on your wrist. Hagwe, Abel

And not just watch wise 😉 All the additions came in the first half and to be honest I had a bit of ‘horofatigue’ for the rest of the year. Not even sure if there’s anything tugging at my heartstrings sufficiently for me to go for it in 2023 🤷🏻‍♂️ One inde... 

It’s definitely something that we all get from time to time as our collection reaches a certain point.

The behavior of the watch manufacturers isn’t helping, either 😉

Having to provide a pint of blood every time you fancy a watch 😉

Continue to enjoy all of them in the Best of your health ! Happy Festive Season & all the Best ! hs.

I’ve always believed that variety in a watch collection is important. The Laine is a watch that I would like to add one day.

Enjoy 👍🏻

Enjoy! 👍🏻

Is my expression after typing this up on my phone and accidently dragging my hand and resetting the page This was a great year. When I started learning about horology (apx 2008), one of the first watches I was drawn to were Montblanc Minerva (collection V...  

… along 2022! The two MB chronograph are marvelous pieces. You did well not letting pass the opportunity of getting these covered watches. The Prosi Ceramic GMt is a watch I love and which I also got past year after a long long hunt. And the Captain Cook ... 

Probably the two favorites of mine 👌🏻🙌🏻 The GMT and Cpt Cook are fantastic pieces, too - congratulations 🎉🎊🎈

The collecting journey is the part I really enjoy and hearing about your experiences in 2022 will strike a chord with many of us here. As for the LF leaving your collection, we have to have a certain bond with a watch, if it doesn’t happen you just don’t ...

Congratulations on adding this one to your collection 👏👏👏

… some of the few pieces which fell in my nets during 2022 and sharing also the only one who went to another home. The first watch is a humble one which reinforces my feeling that it’s not needed to spend lots of money to get a watch which makes us smile ...  

I always thought this omega was interesting, never seen one. For myself, Breguet is high on the wish list these days. - Kevin

Hagwe! Abel

From the KonTiki to the Tradition - a fantastic haul 🙌🏻👏🏻👌🏻 And the one that left - it did so for a great cause 👍🏻

Enjoy your weekend dear friend. Best, Abel.

Interesting and diverse selection and I’m so pleased that you finally netted the Breguet that you wanted, a watch that I feel will suit you very well. Your generous gift to your son is a wonderful gesture and creating a memorable moment for him. The Etern...  

... guess it is impossible to avoid connecting it with that wonderful film and of course with the confirmed use by US troops deployed in the War. Have a great weekend dear friend! Cheers! Abel

Forget this iconic film … ...  

You have been busy! Enjoy them! 👍🏻

From these fine series, my personal favs are the first Kon–Tiki in burgundy, but even more so your stunning RG Breguet 7027 La Tradition ( in fact a watch I sometimes think of, a real temptation for me ! Anyhow a splendid rose–gold ! – Bravo ! And Well do... 

... and I´m very happy to have it in my collection. Guess you should handle it in the metal... probably you will be tempted to add it too to your wonderful collection. No other watches went out this year. Yes, it is very difficult for me to let go pieces.... 

about the latest. A Weiss field watch with an awesome small sweep seconds. 42mm of pure fun from a watch made in Nashville, Tennessee!! Enjoy ...  

A watch made in Nashville, Tennessee, not something that I thought we would see. Can you tell us anything more about it ?
