Horological Meandering

A shout out that I often see from friends on social media... but today is my day as I just paid for something new... but think it will be next month for arrival But it made me ask the question... I wonder how many incomings do we get in our community in a...  

and I couldn't resist... Cheers Andrew

Always exciting!

And I also am collecting something soon, to add to what I just collected. The GS SBGR305 was collected in September, but the rest... Details to follow.

Looking forward to seeing them. Cheers Andrew

It's just that Damjan has kidnapped the twins for a bit. But the 'youngest' is sitting comfortably on my wrist.

on our Wrist Scan thread Cheers D

or not posted for a while. An incoming for me does not happen often and only after some thought and deliberation... but wondering if September was a hot month for us PuristS for action! Cheers Andrew

Unexpected by many here. Check it during this weekend wrist scan, driven by my friend Mr. D. Cheers, Nilo

Starts soon and can't wait. Cheers Andrew

if the boutique personnel are to be believed. And I just put a non-refundable deposit on another watch that is making its debut this month, but I don't know when I will receive this one.

That sounds better than in the near future or soon... but sometimes they have a special language just to keep us hanging on and praying for a safe arrival! Look forward to seeing it. Cheers Andrew

......it has something to do with New York. Will post upon arrival

On of my favourite cities... looking forward to seeing the results... Cheers Andrew

I've paid my deposit, the specifications are firming up, my piece is in the queue, and the waiting has begun ... Cazalea

when will the time come for that phone call to say it has arrived! Looking forward to it, Andrew

.... when I went by my favourite retailer, just for a brief chat with my favourite saleswomen, and - only to have an excuse for this social exchange - asked to see two or three watches they had, but wasn't really interested in. As expected, there wasn't a... 

You know there is no such thing as a free coffee or just a chat in a watch shop... they always cast that magical spell as you walk over the threshold in order to pull you in to the dark. I hope it makes an appearance on here... you have got me wondering w... 

.... I went to the shop and had it retrieved from the safe to take a picture or two: Marcus ...  

Brilliant watch and I actually ordered one straight after Basel last year, then a few months later had a friend ask if he could take it instead when it came in. I remember when he picked it up from the AD, I felt a little twitch of disappointment (that it... 

I think Heuer did a very nice job on this! Absolutely desirable. Congrats!

Almost watch buddies... Tag Heuer Monaco Cal 17 Regards, MTF ...  

... and whenever I thought about an un-circular watch, it popped up in my mind. They even had a blue-face Monaco at the dealer, aside the Monza. However, in direct comparison, I voted for the TV-screen case of the latter. I always had some kind of soft sp... 

12 and 17 are different.

The even more dangerous thing is when you have full trust and good relationships with some ADs they can reserve the watch for me without deposit. So I don't feel the pain of taking out wallet when I say yes through a call, or an mail, or a coffee like you... 

Something old but new to you? Good luck with the funding... we all have the same issues, but that makes us appreciate them even more when they finally do get put on our wrist. Cheers Andrew

As I have learned watch collecting is a matter of patience.

...  

I could not pass up this opportunity 😉

I was even putting it on my watching list, wishing when I have an opportunity to travel there to check it up. But now I know it ends up in very good hands! Congrats again!!

But please whenever you are in my neighborhood just let me know 🙏🏻 maybe we can meetup then 😉

Second, the topic of "incoming" started to haunt me over as the obsession of getting something cool and new has taken over my soul and reached to a ridiculous extent of there is always some incoming in each 2-3 months. My wife had already called a stop bu... 

but you are beyond help... but wow that is a fast growing collection! So do some leave to replace the incomings? Just enjoy the obsession... it could be worse... Cheers Andrew

In particular the orange obsession Cheers!

Its out there and no end of therapy can help me Cheers Andrew

And look forward to your new incoming piece! Be it an orange Hublot...

but the same group...

but only one has been decided on so far...

Excited to see this piece in person in due course! Will be #2 for new pieces to the collection this year. Pretty good year, so far so good, for adding pieces. One sold, so I can justify adding an extra piece ;-) Cheers, Tim

Can't wait to see the new piece! That orange dial you had recently was a killer indeed!! Cheers Andrew

I hope. Will post as soon as they arrive

Can't wait to hear more! Cheers Andrew

Until something more serious comes along

other than vintage pieces. YTD only 2 came in, Omega SM300 few mths back and the Rado Hyperchrome Captain Cook last week. Am not too hopeful the remaining 2 will be in before year end. They are Rolex BTW . Cheers! SF

. . . at the tail end of August. For the purposes of this thread, though, can we pretend it just came in today? ...  

I would count it even if it came in July! Beautiful Omega.... stunning! Cheers Andrew
