Horological Meandering

What watch(es) did you acquire this first half of 2016 and what watches should arrive before December 31 ?!? So here comes my penance.... Q1 Bought nothing but did place some 'orders' Order #1 Order #2 Q2 Order #3 Did not really place an 'order' but asked...  

JLC Duometre à Chronographe: And this one, already caught: IF I manage to get the Duometre, with this Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter, these to catches the same year will make me feel like in Heaven. No need for more, for this year. Yes, indeed, no need for mor...  

Finally?! The thing we have all been waiting for?! ;-) Seriously: congratulations in advance! And one can only wholeheartedly agree with you. Those two catches are more than one could wish for in a year. Brilliant stuff.

... and I know how much you love the Duometre and it will be a dream come true soon. Good for you my friend! I´ll keep my fingers crossed and am looking forward to read your anouncement when this timepiece arrives your home! All the best my friend! Un abr... 

In that it is very focused on pieces I will wear a lot which is now more important to me than it ised to be so the collecrion has been refocused. Recently picked up this... And ordered this which I will get this year, hopefully for my birthday.... Yours, ...  

With the special rubber strap. How is that holding up thus far?? The Daytona.....it seems like the whole world wants one. And we all go for the white version....

If you haven't held one it is worth finding one just to play with the strap. Very flexible like a snake and soo soft, then the little fins on the back just allow a little air under the strap and also allow a little movement as your wrist size changes duri... 

You may also notice I am becoming very much Rolex based, my GMT is just off for a spa so it will be great to get that back in hopefully new condition too. Even better that my dealer is paying for that..!! Looking forward to you getting the JLC on your wri... 

When it is back on your wrist If anybody deserves it then it is you my friend, Andy.

it wasn't expected and if all the planets are aligned this one but most likely next year ...  

.

I like the new Daytona, my local AD should receive the very first one in july and may propose it to me, but I think I'll decline.

I might just sell it to someone else

at least for the 1st 2 watches in your list. I was just told my CK2998 will have the same number as my Snoopy, so that is very good news to me, anniversary date. The 3rd one will need to see after I visit Germany ) was probing around for the 2016 Grand La... 

Ah you are heading for Dresden? enjoy! On novelties; when I posted this thread and looked at it I realized that I\'ve been foolish. Next year I\'ll just stay offline in February and March and be safe.

Just bought a Chronometre Bleu from FP Journe today! Will pick it up when visiting LA early July. Seriously considering buying a JLC MUT Perpetual Calendar in SS and a JLC Reverso Ultra Thin Due (large) also in SS. And with that I have to stop! Marcio

love it!

so \'planned buy\' gets pulled down Q1 impulsive buy... Q2 impulsive buy... Hoping nothing in Q3, so to make a way for planned buy in x-mas. Best, mahesh., ...  

just stay away from here and the (online) dealers! You might make it that way ;-)

nothing yet but I have big hopes for the second half of the year. My dream: a 1665 or red submariner ...as beautiful as the ones belonging to Nicolas , Bill or Abel or Baron or... Almost impossible to find except if one of these gentlemen accepts to sell ... 

I don't know it very well and I have not seen one in real . But why not ..even if I prefer 1665 I think a 1655 could complete my small collection. Best Christian

QUARTER 1 : Pam587 Pam557 Pam448 Pam317 Pam372 Pam623 Pam605 Pam375 Pam233 ALS 730.048F QUARTER 2 : PAM569 To be expected : This saturday : PAM246 & PAM371 Later this year : PAM661 PAM662 PAM663 PAM672 PAM693 Reverso 1931 Tribute Magritte SS I need a doct... 

It seems God is very demanding towards you ...  

... Yes, you should look for some medical assistance, and I would be more than pleased to help you relieving you of some of your pain. You may send me some of your purchases to relief the weight. I can send you my address by PM, and of course I will take ... 

. . . but I'm afraid your condition is incurable, not to mention fatal. You could ask for a second opinion from Dr Strong.

... most of us have many sins to confess! Lol! My main purchases were my three JLC Tributes I had been chasing for long which I could finally find due to some lucky happenings from January through April: the pieces are TT to Deep Sea Alarm, Tribute to Pol...  

No message body

Talking about sins ;-)

. . . and this is probably it for the duration of '16. I'm committed to another vintage Omega, but it's nothing special other than an interesting previous owner; pending funds, of course. I've a few service 'n strap projects going, but those don't count f...  

Congratulations

i have one that i'm chasing after too, going to be a long time before i can get the funds in order. congrats again!

One special watch which I had been waiting for came in the first half of this year... Special Delivery... Daily Life... I really love this watch for so many reasons And the second half of the year... Well a few things in discussions... but who knows! Ther...  

So lately I\'ve been bitten by the AP bug. Earlier this year Ordered this next And if the stars line up and still available, this one at end of the year Hope everyone is doing well! Bests, Eric ...  

I'm also staring at the AP tribute to Italy...this has seriously become a very unhealthy hobby (for my bank account)

Quarter 1 started with my purchase of a champagne NOMOS neomatik Orion: then purchased what I thought was a 1963 birth year watch but is from '67 or later and is very slightly frankened (the hands are not original; that could have been done early in the l...  

A pause?

I am really spoiled by this L & H and - well - some people on here collect Journe, some Audemars, some JLC Reversos, maybe I should become the L & H guy...? (After I rob a bank that is).

the downside of this addiction of ours: most of us are lousy bank robbers ;-)
