2020 Year in Review Much Vintage Content

I've tried to cut back on watches, but found myself purchasing several this year. Most is vintage and Rolex/Tudor content but, I have a few other interests... in order of appearance.

REF 3660


Jenny Caribbean


Tudor Fastrider


REF 4220


REF 4220


REF 3139


Datejust MOP 16203


The two 9ct Tudors on the right:

One daughter shares my interests. . . .


Pockets this year
The bottom rosegold one


Registered Edition



Broadway Limited



Finished off the year by picking up this dial for the 3139 ARMY which will give a trio of "SPEEDKING"s.


I think that is it. . . .

What did your pick ups look like this year?

I have not bought much over the past 3 years. Then 2020 lockdown happened. Within a 30 day span I think I lied to my wife 5 times. I hate doing that but you guys understand, right? She still won’t give me back my 79090, and she beats it to hell.

Love those syringe hands! Great pieces.

Wish I had a family member who shared the passion. My wife couldn't care less. She makes a point of continuing to wear her Mickey Mouse Casio and refuses my suggestion that she try the YG 1802 on a nice Horween Cordovan strap.

Some people just don't get it.

Edit: Just realized I haven't bought anything this year!

I like the Fastrider a lot.
The 892 reminds me of my 992B RailWay Special.
Yours a really fancy-cased/dial high end issue.

Thanks! I have Ducati Monster in the same shade of red.

I've been collecting all the "modern" Hamilton pocket watches of yesteryear and think I finally have a full set.
