Incoming for me today! (And collection update)







Looks like a few people picked this one up this week, so I thought i'd join the club I've been missing my 16550 black face ever since I sold it so I thought i'd give a 42mm a try and loving it so far! Not sure if I like it MORE than the 16550 but I appreciate this new one for many other reasons.

And here it is with its new family

Thanks for the comments everyone! She's keeping amazing time too, under a second fast since setting it last Thursday! (3 days ago). I think this one will definitely be a keeper!

It's kind of strange I ended up with so many white face watches in my collection. I recently flipped a several black face watches and just picked up a couple white faces.. Not really a preference just the way things ended up.

Thanks! It will probably be a while until my next purchase, but i'd love to own a Skydweller one of these days, hopefully they come out with some new dial options after Baselworld this year. I'd also love to get a Patek 5726/1A-010 one of these days too.

Oh and an Explorer II 1655
