. . . and losses, 2014." End of year means it's time to tally our gains and losses, and not just for the taxman. Let's chart the ins and outs of our collections this weekend; if none, then kindly share the watch that happens to be on your wrist today. My ...  

I had a number of additions to my GP collection, predominantly vintage, but some modern watches too. I also had 2-3 departiures. Unfortunately, due to travels again, I can only show my watch of the day this week. HAGWE and Mery Christmas. CC GP Laureato E...  

. . . was positive - more came in than went out. I'm wondering who's going to have a net negative balance sheet for the year. Thanks for sharing, cc, and Merry Christmas to you, too. Art

Love the tan croco on the Evo! :) HAGWE, my friend Blomman

For me, out, none (despite my best intentions). In, these three Ochs and Junior moon phase (had that on my radar screen for a while and wanted to try an unconventional material: silver)- Hentschel Botschafter Bronze (another material I wanted to try). JLC...  

. . . like Olympic medals ;-) . . .

guess that is the closest I'll ever come to one! Best Andreas

Unique and high art

The TT Reverso is one of my fav 2014 watches. The two others are great, too, with a certain fascination for the Ochs and Junior, as I am a big fan of its Creator. Best, Andreas.

the minimalist way in which he implemented the moonphase in this watch is really impressive, both mechanically and also with the dial design. Best, Andreas

How is the silver holding up? Does it tarnish?

around the edge of the bezel. I will watch and make a picture when it gets more! Best Andreas

and best wishes to you! Andreas

I had a good year so far. My +1's - so I'm ahead 1 ...  

. . . and hopefully, no regrets parting with the Panerai; you're partial to OP, if memory serves correct. Art

Life happens some times well a lot of times to me.(the little Black Cloud & all) & I had to part w/ it for the funds I needed quickly. :-( Your memory is intact Yes I'm Paneristi,but Family 1st This message has been edited by William M on 2014-12-... 

Couldn't take it off for a better part of an entire month after receiving it..

Must say I am happily surprised by their new line! :) HAGWE Blomman

I'm a lume

Great theme, Art, and looking forward to see the final product of your Omega that's still in the workshop... This year I think has seen my collection being consolidated. As with evolving and I guess a better understanding of my own likes and dislikes, all...  

Yes, tastes change. I am pretty happy to see you adding a Rolex 16570 in your collection. Thi is such a lovely Watch! Bravo, Richard. Nicolas

I start to understand the process of hunting for vintage - although this isn't a vintage, it's certainly more challenging than just walking into a store and picking a new one up. I love this one too :-)

Is more exciting than just paying a Watch... Best, Richard. Nicolas

Evolving with time is perfectly understandable. I'm in the same trend. Some stay and others will definitely leave. Cheers, Mark

. . . in a dozen years, with the last one making its departure the previous summer. Other than a classic Longines 30CH or 13ZN, I'll likely never get another. Good to see family reaping the benefits, Richard; I'm planning on giving away a few more in the ... 

is the MIH. While I don't know enough to risk the vintage world, the MIH watch has a chrono that's not seen, and is something I see making it's way in at some point. And yes, good things are meant to be shared with those who mean a lot to us :-) Have a me... 

and you have a lucky family! Great additions! best, Andreas

Leaving, the strap equivalent of this: Joining: And And one more that's incoming. We are up four. Yikes! Cazalea ...  

and this finally came on the radar ... ...  

But everything I've seen so far makes me want it a lot!

You will be unable to resist! Mike ...  

But thanks for the tip :-| Mesmerizing, and it seems to be a perfect size on the wrist also.

The GP Traveller is a great watch! :) HAGWE Blomman

. . . for X-mas. :-) ...  

especially the Vianney Halter is such an alluring piece! Best Andreas

no watches out... this one will stay forever... Best Regards Livius ...  

The Minerva is a keeper for life! :) HAGWE Blomman

. . . you're the most content amongst us. Fewer than ten watches all told, and seemingly no turnover ever since you began posting on this forum many years ago. Happiest of holidays to you, Livius. Best, Art

case closed! Best, Andreas

... with several most important -for my collection- catches. Most important 2014 it also meant rediscovering an old love: Panerai, a brand I had rather abandoned lately with which I renewed the passion this year. I also have been thinking that 2015 will b...  

... and I send you my cordial regards and best wishes for a nice Christmas and a great New Year 2015 with lots of Peace and Good Health! Sincerely, Abel.

Have a superb Xmas... When I think that 2014 is not totally dead, I Wonder if you will find a last one for the fun.... ;) Un fuerte Abrazo, y felices Navidades! Nicolas

... a Horological Grand Slam for me, and think will never repeat. I´m sure of that because I´m checking my final balance of my bank account now at the end of year! Lol. I feel that in 2015 I will be very cautious and will not hear my inner Devil telling D... 

As per the peice I am running after for so long, I will tell you in let's say 2 weeks... Un abrazo, Amigo. And do never listen to the banker, he always sings some sad songs. Nicolas

Congratulation, great additions to your stunning collection, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman

Looks like 2014 has been really, really kind. My choice would be the YM - that has always been my favorite Rolex, and it still is.

. . . a very good year, Abel ;-) . . .

This year has been quiet up to now. This one came in: It is also the one on my wrist today. Have a great holiday everyone! Martin ...  

This year I tried to stay put for things to be revealed at SIHH. But as you will see soon I failed miserably. But I think you forgot about two new entries on your side .

As for the second one, not yet, not yet... If we are speaking of the same Watch... All the best, my friend. Nicolas

But I would assume that you lost/gave them to a lady soon thereafter. ...  

To be more precise, she stole me one. ;) Best, Nicolas

HAGWE, Martin! Best Blomman

the design is intended to resemble the Solar system. Much more intersting is the fact that the thick while dots are indeed movement pillars while the red dots are the backsides of rubies. They just left away the dial as a separate part and painted the dia... 

. . . is also cause for celebration, Martin. A contemporary philosopher . . . . . . put it best. :-) PS - yes, I was there for this performance!

Dear Art, you could not know, but in this case Ol' Blue Eyes put it better: Or as Abel put it so fitting somewhere in this thread: You have a week and a half yet! I am sending my warmest regards and best wishes for a Merry and Happy Christmas to you and y... 

Not let go of any watches... But, this year I failed! :( This December I let go of an old love, The Reverso XGT GMT. After too many year's of neglecting her, I finally gathered the courage to let her go... Only comfort is that it was to a friend and I wil...  

What? you need a book to post them all? ;)

Well, the post said In and Out.... And I choose Out! ;) Best Blomman

You almost think like a lawyer... ;)

But then again, you added another one so... Zero! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

. . . of One-liners, Henny Youngman: :-)

Look like after all world is coming to an end :) ;) Just hope it was temporary :) Yours Damjan

Now it is closed again! ;) Best, my friend Blomman

loved it but in the end it was too thick for my taste. Still, a great piece. Sad not to see the parade of your incomings! Best, Andreas

Well, I should make a Year End post about that.... Quite GP heavy this year! ;) Best Blomman

This summer I gained one for a weekend and then lost it. I had been looking for a worldtimer for a while when I saw this Ikepod Manatee. It has all the modern design I look for in a watch and it was designed by Marc Newson, the designer of this other obje...  

. . . in a long time! Here's hoping '15 doesn't turn out as ambiguously as '14 , j ;-) . . .

Ambiguous ownership is no fun.

This is a pleasant surprise of 2014. Regard Tyler ...  

I'm curious of your in this year. ;) Regard Tyler

Joyeux anniversaire mon ami :))))

. . . and similarly taken, Tyler. Sometimes, it's the modest and demure that impress the most . . .
