2017 was a good year, Reverso Rouge, Zenith El Primero 38 and Rolex Sea Dweller
but I have also sold a couple. I am in a less but “better” mood.
** ROLL CALL - What’s your 2017 watch harvest??? ** 🤩😍
Hi everyone, The year 2017 is close to an end and it’s time to take stock. 2017 has been a good year for me. What about you? Here’s my 2017 harvest (if I’m very very lucky, a new addition should arrive soon but I don’t know yet if it will be on 2017 or 20...
BAM 💥 that’s some serious collecting.
Makes me wonder if 2018 will be quieter or even more ambitious for you?! 😱
Unfortunately, collecting means sacrifices so I let go few watches to finance two of them. But that’s life no?
2018 could be in the same vein as I want to reduce my collection. I have few things in mind of course 😉 And you my friend? Sarpaneva, vintage Rolex... Best wishes Alkiro
Five watches in 2017... i think you can for fill your dreams 😋
My two purchases this year; But i might get this before year end; ...
If I sell a lot of watches from my collection, the dream 5575 could come true but it’s not my desire
Your 2017 harvest was not so bad 😉 The Omega has the nicest moonphase available today on the market for me. Simply stunning. Best wishes Alkiro
Hands down!
For me... It would be these ... 🤣 School watch simple edition Pie pan 167.005 Black waffle seamaster 2766 "Batik" floral dial Deville Black Manhattan straight lug automatic And Constellation 168.018 ...
Excellent crops by our Omega man!!!
Black dial waffle Seamaster is amazing!!! Cheers D
I’m deep in love with your black waffle Seamaster. And with this snake strap, it’s a stunner!
And what about your ETA. It reminds me so cool and sweet memories 😊 Best wishes Alkiro ...
Ah yeah... You're graduated already....
I bought it from my junior, as our batch only got the 7751 to take home 😂😂😂
Love your black dial seamaster!
Also the Manhattan - my father still has a SG version that’s his ‘posh’ dress watch.
I’m waiting for your harvest...
...and I have a little idea of what it could be 😁😉 Credit: TimZone Best wishes Alkiro ...
That is Kohei’s Seiko collection
Better known as “the black hole” as watches go in there and never come out! He’s a mythical figure in California - I've talked with him a few times and caught him once by surprise at a RR event. Cazalea ...
CAUTION - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK There were about 500 watches
Kohei told me about this story ... about setting them up on three folding tables in his living room. There was a black cloth on the table to stop reflections and keep the watches from moving around. After he had almost all of them set, he caught the edge ...
Just three letters OMG 😱😱😱
I don’t know when addiction is replaced by madness! 😊 Thanks for sharing Mike. Best wishes Alkiro
This was hilarious! I can’t believe he has all those watches!
Brilliant! What a collector
Amazing new additions to your beautiful collection my friend 👌🏻
Cant wait what 2018 will bring you 😉. My collection also had some changes this year . Have sold/trade a few watches to get some ,,new,, watches back in my collection . First one was a Classic Christiaan vd Klaauw Pendulum Then came my first Moser&cie Ende...
You know my love for Moser 😍 and, more particularly, such a lovely Mayu
This Pendulum is so gorgeous too. If I remember well, you won a WristScan contest with this one and a gorgeous sunset in the background 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
I was surprised you add only two watches for this year 😁
The Vincent Calabrese and, of course, the Moser Concept are really my cup of tea. But you already knew that 😉 You set impressive basis for next year 😁 I’m waiting for the Joker 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
😁 me too my friend but that🤡 will be around the end of 2018 so in the mean time lets see what 2018 will bring us 🙏🏻
. My first new watch will be the Seiko in februari i think 😉 . Need to fill up my budget before i start looking again 😬
Same problem here as I already told you 😩
Because this new GS with its enamel dial and the Joker were on my wish list too. But I’m really happy for you because these both timepieces are really stunning 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
Nice Thread...here's mine!
Hi Alkiro, my "harvest" for 2017 has been a brand new Breitling Colt (my choice) and a 1987 Seiko 5 (inherited, very cool but I do miss my grandpa a lot!) which I will talk to you guys about soon! For 2018 my eyes are on the withe dial Explorer II or on t...
With this Seiko on your wrist, your grandpa will always be with you 🙏
Do you have few pictures of them? 2018 should start on very good basis 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks for the nice words...
and these are for you dear Alkiro! What do you think? I promise I'll tell you guys more about soon Cheers Flavio ...
Really cool! Thanks for sharing. I particularly like the crown at four and the case shape of the Seiko
I’m really impatient to read your future post about this one. The Breitling reminds me a little bit the Cosmonaute and it’s 24 hours dial. The blue dial/strap combo works very well too and gives it a lot of dynamism for me. Best wishes Alkiro
Yes I did a lot of searches indeed for both of them...
for the Breitling it was an almost 2 years search, I wanted an high level blue watch in the 2k-3k CHF range, and I think on the Breitling website I have "built my own" for almost every model ahaha! For the Seiko, since I had no paper nor box, I made some ...
2017 was a good year, Reverso Rouge, Zenith El Primero 38 and Rolex Sea Dweller
but I have also sold a couple. I am in a less but “better” mood.
Less is more my friend 😉
I easily remember the Reverso Rouge but less the two other watches. Any pictures of them? Best wishes Alkiro
Your a very diserning collector my friend. Thats a very good harvest.
For the year , you have done quite well. My admiration. Cheers. Geross.
Only these 2. But they are sleek , slim and sexy. And it rubs off to the owner.
Im a modest man my friend. Cheers. I enjoy these watches immensely. Geross. ...
Two great additions my friend 👌😉
Black and white, sporty and classy... A perfect duo! Best wishes Alkiro
Good harvest for you, my friend, this 2017...
it’s also one of my best so far... In Feb, after our GTG... This lovely, romantic Como, ordered in 2016 but arrived in Mar 2017. Followed by the Daytona 116500LN. The special PCA Omega Speedmaster. Lastly, the pair of NYC Patek Philippe’s... If the Omega ...
What I really love with your 2017 harvest is your eclecticism my friend. Different brands, types, styles, complications, sporty and dressy, black, white... That’s really something I like and share.
The Lange Time Zone is one of my target (pink gold and grey dial for me) and yours is so so special and rare. A little jewel 👌 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks my friend....I’m into diversity and not limiting to a single brand...
My focus is only to 4 brands now, eventually down to 2 top ones we know who 😉 If I were to redo this again....i don’t know?? Maybe the same? Rgds Raymond
I’m only focused on the German one from my side. But I can’t exclude the Swiss one one day 😁
All these timepieces are really nice and cool. Why would you like to change that? That’s perfect like that 👌 Best wishes Alkiro
Those are amazing pieces for a single year.
For me. This one tops it all! Bu of course there is also this 😊 Cheers ...
Think that might count as the definition of greed ! ;-)
Double Futurematic wrist shot is stunning. Both red & blue power reserve indicators In awe & only slightly envious! Looks like you had a great watch 2017. Cheers JML
Thank you JML 🙏
Regarding the power reserves, they’re red and black but sometimes with light reflections you can have little surprises 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
Fantastic, I really love the Emil. And of course I'm a big fanboy of the CB.
2016 was a crazy year for me, so 2017 was rather tame. Only incoming of note was what some might consider a very pedestrian watch, a Rolex Sub. The first new Rolex purchase for me in a very very long time. I've lusted after the Hulk since its first releas...
Thank you Jay. In a way, you’ve completed the circle with this one 😉
Cool to hear that you have several things in the pipe. We’ll stay tuned 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
From the rusty beat club:
Started the year dynamically Ended the year with UN: A GP sandwich in between: Looking forward to see what 2018 brings! Love the ALS & FPJ blue dials and the futurematics! Cheers, G. ...
Thanks Nicholas - here’s more Dynamic:
Pics of the COSC UN will need to await it’s return from a movement service - really looking forward to giving it some wrist time soon! All the best, Giles. ...
Thank you again Nicolas
There’s a black dial and a blue dial (with similar indecies) versions waiting out there for me, hopefully..... All the best. Giles.
Thanks again Alkiro!
Yes, I like this Omega design a lot - very comfortable to wear too. All the best. Giles
I hope we’ll be both as spoiled in 2018 as 2017 🙏
I love your GP sandwich a lot. Very yummy and nice 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
some high end pieces.. My humble & personal favs are the Emil Lange 1815, magnificent blue FPJ & the Breguet Réveil du Tsar..
& Yes, of course your great 2 portholes are special, as well.. From my perspective, it really looks like a splendid harvest & year ! And if I think of your other delicacies like splendid Breguet La Tradition, your PanoInverse etc, I tend to believe you ha...
Thank you very much dear hs for your kind words 🙏
What was your 2017 harvest? I can remember your last “Duometre entry”, of course, and your Ochs und Junior if I’m right? Best wishes Alkiro
It was a big year for me also!
Below are my purchases that survived the cut, I already have my eye on a sale and a purchase for 2018. So let’s see how we go. ...
You’re a man of great taste my friend 👍
This white dial Doxa and this left handed Sinn are so cooollll. And what about your GS. This burgundy dial is to die for. Best wishes Alkiro
This is a real compliment
Coming from you! I’m hoping I’ll be able to show you something interesting next year. I’m not 100% sure yet, we will see. I have to let one go to bring another in, still deciding if it is worth it. Thanks for your kind words my friend.
Wow you have been on a roll in 2017 !
this year I have been on a diet relatively, I got the: Grand Seiko SBGW253 first (which I sold off very recently as this was kind of an impulse buy for me lol). Next I got the JLC Reverso Rio de Janerio edition I love this one ! The blue dial is very nice...
Not so bad my friend 😉
The RR (Rio Reverso 😊) is stunning and your description of the Patek is perfect 👌😉 I’m sure 2018 will be in the same vein or even better for you. Best wishes Alkiro
