Buyers regret.
Its almost end to 2009 and I'm sure all of us have added some additional "members" to our family.
But has anyone has regrets on getting a particular piece?

No regrets for me Pat
I did add a piece to my collection that might be borderline to some.As for me i both enjoy and wear it often. The hobnail dial is a bad choice to place writing,this is a Favre Leuba automatic special order,unknown how many were made. Hour markers and the ...
We sure know who that is and
what you have on hand might appreciate once he is past his time. Really Interesting piece. Is it a limited piece? cheers Pat
Thanks for the laugh Marcus
as the likeness is striking.I believe Saddam ordered a few to give as gifts some time ago so i assume there is a limited number.After the new year i will write to Favre Leuba to see if they can provide some information .I was told his picture on the dial ...
It's a good thing the coffee is still brewing . . .

There was....
one regret... but not for a watch but for buying from a particular AD.... Cheers
Looks like we were on the same boat this year
but let bygones be bygones and look forward to 2010! cheers Pat
no regrets this year, in fact the opposite, a large number of great pieces
2009 was a good year for aquiring my 1964 theme. it didnt start until february and i think i'm up to 11, all good iconic pieces with a place in history as well as being made in the same year. good question for the end of the year best Graham
11 pieces in a year?
Wow! Thats like one in every month and I'm sure it must be a fun journey. Maybe you can break the record and get 12 in 2010? cheers PAt
Patrick, thats 11 watches from...

What an impressive score, Graham
The funny thing is that you sold a lot of your watches to get the Freak, and now that you get it, you buy all the watches you sold! I love that! Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
its not really the numbers...
its not really the numbers that are important Nicolas, i am proud to say i've added some impressive vintage pieces this year and some very funky monkeys. i know that i'm replacing some of the vintage pieces i had before the big sell off, but the new ones ...
True, Graham, and well said!
You're the King of '64 watches, my friend! Best, Nicolas
