As announced yesterday, the topic of the first WS of the year will be New Horizons. You are free to interpret what this means for you but could be a new life phase, horological new year’s resolutions, new incomings, new collecting topics, or if none of th...  

So maybe I could try something orange. Or maybe an Omega. Or perhaps another Rolex? A Patek, hmmm... Or even going Indie ??? Actually, I don't like change, I think I will stick to vintage and modern GPs... Cheers, CC PS: thanks to the non-GP owners for le...  

The new horizons will be the old ones - if one is comfortable with the existing change is not strictly necessary, even if sometimes interesting in its own right 😊 Thanks for showing such a wide range of options, CC. The Doxa and the KVs I’d change into st... 

A real treasure that one 👍🏻

I hope it’s on my 2019 horizon 😉

However The other watches in your post were not to bad neither.... Best wishes for a great 2019! Stefan

also the best wishes back to you, my friend. CC

Me and my family saw a new horizon! One we very much hope to see again one day! Best wishes on your new adventure! Best Blomman ...  

Mutual feelings my friend! Cheers D

That horizon looks fairly familiar, I guess - a very nice one, too As for the new adventure, I guess some good wishes I can definitely use, so thanks for those, too!

The place looks really peaceful BTW Best Stefan

...  

A new addition, theme ...?

I found it few weeks ago, need some care, still working on it. But full set and the YG is so nice. I was a bit skeptic but i am in love now!

And finding a full set is always a bonus. Looking forward to reading your impressions after you’ve had it for a while 👍🏻

Superb catch! Congrats D

Or maybe we’re just slowly entering the age cohort, where YG is the thing to wear 😉👍🏻

Not my metal either but find myself drawn to YG watches more and more. Maybe it is getting old 😂

Nothing to worry about on that front 👍🏻

YG is the new black! Best Blomman

Now for the ultimate question, what’s the piece you have posted - never seen it before 👌🏻🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks for clarifying 🙏🏻

As soon as I finish polishing I will post some more !

Ordered on January 2, 2019 and delivered on January 3rd, 2019! 😮👍🥳🎊 The unboxing... MASSIVE box with no shipping label, name or details (never seen this before). Delivered by FEDEX. I’d like to “blame” 😜 Ahoi, Abel and the other enablers on this forum for...  

And boxes within boxes... as you said, enablers aka Vlads can be very dangerous to one’s wallet but very helpful for one’s collection 😉 If I recall correctly you have more incoming by this weekend? If so, feel free to share!

I still have 2 from last year pending delivery with no finalized schedule.

Similar here, one underway (albeit to the old country) and two on the cusp of getting. Can hardly wait...

Yes, Ahoi and Able are dangerous guys! Best Blomman

Depending on definition 😁

I guess the Vlads are helpful for us while our significant others are occasionally less welcoming of the help 😂

At least adds some spice to the relationships 😂

Which required patience I guess, but that’s a good virtue for us collectors Enjoy and share more pictures Stefan

Some pictures got posted in the wrong order/duplicated but I tried ;-) More pics forthcoming...

Congrats! Cheers D

I really thought I was done with Panerai, but your photos of the 721 kept putting it in my mind until resistance was futile

This is a very interesting model and I´m sure that you will be enjoying and loving so much. Chers and Hagwe! Abel

Congratulations, enjoy !

New directions. Enjoy your new digs, K. Happy New Year. ...  

The digs are interesting 😉 Lots more space, which we all enjoy and a slightly different taste in furniture, which makes it ‘new’. Getting settled in, although the process will really finish when our things arrive 👍🏻 Now to the watches - the UJ and Vicente... 

I saw them; they were very inexpensive; and they both had original boxes, one with the warranty booklet. Kind of cool. The round case piece is Swiss; I'm not sure about the shaped watch. I think it could have been assembled here in the States, using Swiss... 

Even Philippe Dufour headed one such operation in the Caribbean earlier in his career 😉

At first the watches continued to be made in Switzerland at the same manufactory. At some point that ended and JJ started buying parts from various suppliers and assembling them, first in Switzerland and then in the United States. They finally went out of... 

Thanks for the history, Padj, much appreciated!

I had it specially made-WG with these lugs only comes with a blue dial.

Than at sending them 😉
