A nice topic, dear KMII.
Aug 13, 2022,22:53 PM
Well, my latest acquisition is the completely insane impulse purchase of my cherished Hublot Edition Big Bang Unico Essential Grey on the internet.
This watch was limited to 200 pieces and only available online.
It wears perfectly, although I didn't even try it personally before buying it. A completely crazy action that fortunately ended well.
Cheers

The WS for the 12th of August - ‘Latest catch’ is live
By: KMII : August 12th, 2022-19:00
First of all a sincerest apology for the late start - had some IT issues that prevented me from posting the thread on time. The theme is ‘Latest catch’ - so the last watch(es) that joined your collection. If there’s a fishing element to your pictures, all...
My latest catch was pretty unexpected,
By: Geo : August 12th, 2022-19:16
when I saw that green color of the dial in the flesh, I just had to find one, since these colourful 'Must Tanks' are long sold out. GEO ...
A very cool catch indeed…
By: KMII : August 13th, 2022-05:42
We’re these intended to be limited? We went for the Drive Extra Flat instead on the day when we were looking at them and like you said they are practically sold out since 🤷🏻♂️ Interesting combination with the bracelet 👍🏻
Brilliant!
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 13th, 2022-21:58
Thank you Abel
By: Geo : August 14th, 2022-05:56
Green is a new color for me and I am looking forward to seeing it on a tan strap. GEO
Looks very cool

I just googled “Whidbey Island” and read that it is famous for the seafood! Would love to go visit one day! Thanks for sharing your experience. Have a very nice weekend!
Not so well tbh ...

I have totally nothing with fishing. My latest catch was my Frederique Constant FC810 monolithic. At an AD a lady rejected my request to buy the FC810 which they had in stock, but was reserved by a customer already. Stupid was that i had bought a watch ea...
Thank you Cpt
By: Weems@8 : August 12th, 2022-23:45
40mm is perfect for my wrist. While it fit perfect, i can wear it all day and it became a daily beater, or better said zoomer. Dangerous is the way my Frederique Constant is telling me no more watches needed. By accident an exit watch. I need a green dial...
Nice shots of your watches….
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 13th, 2022-08:50
The Omega Globemaster would be a good choice., I was looking at this watch last week. ...
This is a very nice FC!
By: MTR : August 14th, 2022-06:46
And you wear it very well!! 🙏 Is it an automatic movement or to wind manually? Best Thomas
Many thanks
By: Timeout : August 13th, 2022-13:13
Love this hat - it’s a Lock & Co Napoli hat - made from sisal. They don’t make this particular one any more - so it’s been back for life-support treatment once after being sat on 😂
Many thanks.
By: Timeout : August 13th, 2022-13:15
I have the prior re-edition which didn’t have the Broad Arrow hour hand. This one is smaller, thinner and a manual wind, compared to the automatic 2013 edition.
Thanks Captain.
By: Timeout : August 13th, 2022-13:17
I’m looking forward to the 350th anniversary of Lock & Co in 5 years. Can’t be too many shops that have been around for that length of time!
Happy Weekend, KMII
By: Brandon Skinner : August 12th, 2022-23:25
My latest catch is also my favorite watch! Perhaps this is how it should be until a new latest catch takes center stage😊. 7 days from now the catch is jumping in my boat I guess you could say. The catch is in fact flying with the watchmaker (and fellow WP...
That catch shot is a classic…
By: KMII : August 13th, 2022-05:52
Like the new catches are - really curious about your Berkus - looking forward to your impressions of it, too 👌🏻👍🏻
It’s nothing special really
By: Brandon Skinner : August 13th, 2022-22:51
The photo is from an excellent Japanese photographer named Hiro (I know that doesn’t help much). My main contribution was putting my Rolex on top of the photograph and play with Photoshop a little so it blended better.

Hamilton Khaki here

After a few years (yes, years!!) without no one watch I found myself coming back to the khaki but now the 42mm version, auto and with all the heritage that Hamilton mean. I just love it. ...
The latest catch is not a watch but a Watch Related book!
By: NT931 : August 13th, 2022-03:40
Bought the Reverso book from Sham, who very kindly brought it over for me when he hopped over to my country on a Sunday. We had a lovely chat at the airport, and I got to admire his beautiful Kikuchi Nakagawa and his VC. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the ...
Swapped out to wear this today
By: Cookies : August 13th, 2022-05:53
Doing some shopping at the supermarket. And a rainbow showed up. So I took this pic Brandon. Nice Reverso there in that book. ...
Good catch ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 13th, 2022-09:00
I’m sure it will give you much pleasure. Enjoy !
Haven’t bought for a year now
By: Cookies : August 13th, 2022-04:22
I gave away my most recent purchase to my best friend because he liked it so much. It was the Tag Heuer Night Lume. Giving away watches brings a new dimension to collecting. Stories made out of generosity. When in excess, giving to a more needy friend mak...
Fantastic piece irrespective!
By: KMII : August 13th, 2022-05:58
Funny that you mention it but I have been thinking the same thing about potentially giving some watches to friends and family. Great BB shot 👌🏻👍🏻
And finally my latest catches…
By: KMII : August 13th, 2022-06:08
In order of appearance - from latest to the less recent. The last shot is not of a recent watch but the catch on the plate was fresh 😉 ...
Wow 🤩 ….
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 13th, 2022-09:06
That’s quite a catch ! Hentschel and Habring look especially good.
You’re too kind 🙏🏻
By: KMII : August 14th, 2022-06:51
The Laine obviously took some time from order to delivery, the Minerva on the other hand was a fully spontaneous find - and as I have been on and off looking for one, impossible to pass by 👍🏻😊
Cool ! 🤩
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 14th, 2022-15:58
Thanks a lot for your kind words, Abel!
By: KMII : August 14th, 2022-06:56
That Minerva, like the Seikos, was unplanned - simply a jumping on an opportunity that surprisingly presented itself 😊 But I have been hoping to find one for a while 👍🏻
Very nice pieces!
By: MTR : August 14th, 2022-06:57
The Hentschel and the Chrono Tokyo I like most! ☺️ All the best Thomas
Thanks so much, Thomas!
By: KMII : August 14th, 2022-18:06
While the Hentschel was clearly a long planned piece, the Chrono was a bit of a surprise, so I snatched it as soon as I saw it 😊👍🏻
What a fabulous pair, Watchonthewrist!
By: KMII : August 13th, 2022-07:19
The case shape on the Thomas Finder is truly superb - very, very cool! The MAD needs no introduction and is a very funky piece 👌🏻👍🏻
Two very cool choices …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 13th, 2022-09:10
The case design of the Thomas Funder looks very good and offers something different as does the MAD1. Is the Thomas Funder case Titanium ?

Not so much latest catch.
By: KURT_DAVID : August 13th, 2022-10:18
More the one that got away. This was my last purchase a few years back but I gifted it to family who are visiting this weekend and I could not resist. 😀 ...
Kind words.

The 5167 was the only Nautilus I liked
By: MTR : August 14th, 2022-07:07
because of its fascinating dial without this uninspired white date window I really dislike. My AD offered it to me for Euro 28.000 about more than a decade ago. I refused because I found it ridiculous to pay so much for a steel sports watch…. 😩 Oh my God!...
A big Thx for your nice words & appreciative comment..
By: hs111 : August 14th, 2022-10:30
And Yes, the acquisition of the Nautilus 5167 was a long standing wish, which turned out very rewarding ! It‘s one of those watches, which exert their full attractiveness sometimes on a second look ! - But I really love it - it’s one of my most loved watc...
That was quite a monumental season, HS111!
By: KMII : August 14th, 2022-08:00

Congratulations HS ! …
By: Cpt Scarlet : August 14th, 2022-16:04
You certainly landed some very special watches. The Nautilus is a wonderful addition and the CK 859 is a personal favourite. Best regards Captain
Thx dear Capt’n for kind looking & nice words !
By: hs111 : August 14th, 2022-16:41
And Yes, 2022 was a year rather low in number of Tic-Tacs but high in “content & substance”. - BTW: what’s in a number of timepieces; practically nothing important, as we all know.. Thx again for your kind comments ! Best, hs 🙂🙂

Both are great - but without the time ( due to not being allowed to go anywhere) I'm pretty convinced I wouldn't have been so bothered about getting a gshock. But it's a good tool watch to throw on when you don't want to worry about what you're wearing. C...
