The Jury rests, I'm done.....
Well after six years of serious flipping and owning basically every single model other than a day date or sky dweller, I can truly say that my collection is complete. I honestly know that I've never truly thought that before. I had become addicted to the thrill of buying a new watch and somehow got a way of enjoying the pieces that I've worked hard to collect. I did a rough count the other day and Ive bought over 30 pieces in the past six years . I do feel for me at least that the perfect number is three, but my collection sits at four. Of the four I have, I've bought the BLNR four different times and the blue Milgauss three different times, only to miss them like crazy! I'm glad the flipping train has finally come to an end. The only other move I was contemplating was the blue sky dweller or a blue sub, but after finally seeing the blue sky dweller and getting to wear a friends blue sub for a few days I now know I'm done. At least until something Basel BLOWS me away.......

That's a great set. I am shock there isn't a diver in there. However, this post is refreshing. To see someone come the full circle of flipping truly trying to find the "one". Good to hear you are actually enjoying these.

I wonder which of the two Daytonas gets the most wrist time?! By the way, congratulations on your collection!

Love the sub but I dont love its popularity BUT I just prefer the GMT over the sub, and for me they look too similiar to own both....

You made a perfect choose. This are good pieces very different and i think it is actually 4 of the stuners a man could own!! By the way did you owned the YM 116620 BDIAL ? How did u think about that piece ?

That’s a nice bunch but I’m sure something will tickle your fancy in the future and it will change your collection again. But hey that’s just human nature and nothing wrong with that. Enjoy in good health!

Your two tone Daytona with Arabic dial is a stunner and is no longer available.
Smart move to keep it. |
