We had a great lunch at Nandos (one of my favs) - discussed law, AI, and my love of Peri Peri chicken.

But man, I didn’t expect to see some of his killer pieces like the limited edition VC overseas, a calendar Patek (perpetual? Sorry I don’t know these models), but I was also really surprised how much I liked the Tudor in Carbon, I would wear this Tudor.

Then, Jon was a great host and took me to Bond st. (among others) and we did some window shopping; I saw a Zeitwerk I wouldn’t mind taking home..

Finally, for dessert, outside of the great gelato, I saw a delicious sandblasted IWC perpetual that I would def wear as a daily.

Okay, now the long trip trip home to the States!

Key Points from the Discussion

A diverse collection with a mix of materials, including steel, carbon, titanium, rose gold, and platinum, helps prevent boredom and keeps the collecting experience fresh.
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas limited edition is a notable piece, often not consistently posted by its owner, making its appearance in K-Lo's post particularly special.
The IWC Perpetual Calendar, even after nearly 23 years of ownership, remains a daily wear for some collectors, demonstrating its enduring appeal and reliability.
The IWC Perpetual Calendar, despite being 25 years old and based on a Valjoux 7750, can maintain impressive accuracy, often varying by less than a second a day, especially after a recent service.
Many collectors don't consider themselves 'collectors' but rather acquire watches based on genuine interest and usability, leading to varied and personal selections.
The Patek Philippe in-line perpetual calendar and the Tudor in Carbon are particularly appealing models that resonate with multiple forum members.

Thanks for the post K-Lo!

I've really grown to like that in-line PC Patek. I wouldn't mind owning it some day. Like you, I also find the Tudor very appealing. Thanks again. M4

My pleasure, for the Patek, I am leaning toward the recent salmon dials, more so the white-gold one with date and Hunter case-back.
