Now Marcus...
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 what this creation must be!!
Cheers
Andrew
Incoming!!! But do you have one too this month...?
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...
I am too loving this pic.
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.
Exciting... one baby in the house and another to be added soon...
Looking forward to seeing them. Cheers Andrew
Actually, a few to be added.
It's just that Damjan has kidnapped the twins for a bit. But the 'youngest' is sitting comfortably on my wrist.
Sometimes they get lost in the thread...
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
I have something ...
Unexpected by many here. Check it during this weekend wrist scan, driven by my friend Mr. D. Cheers, Nilo
I have one watch fully paid for which should be arriving "very soon"
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.
Very soon...
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
I have something coming....
......it has something to do with New York. Will post upon arrival
Interesting...
On of my favourite cities... looking forward to seeing the results... Cheers Andrew
I have an incoming but not this month
I've paid my deposit, the specifications are firming up, my piece is in the queue, and the waiting has begun ... Cazalea
Like a dripping tap...
when will the time come for that phone call to say it has arrived! Looking forward to it, Andrew
I made a big mistake ....
.... 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...

Here it is ...
.... I went to the shop and had it retrieved from the safe to take a picture or two: Marcus ...
I love the Monza re-issue!!!
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 have a sibling from Tag Heuer with the same engine
Almost watch buddies... Tag Heuer Monaco Cal 17 Regards, MTF ...
I always liked the Monaco ....
... 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...
That sounds very familiar my friend
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...
Ooooh!
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
I am seriously thinking of two or three possible choices but all will depend of important factors and if no others and more important priorities come before. Each thing in its time
As I have learned watch collecting is a matter of patience.
Thank you very much 🤗 i was lucky that one was for sale this week ,just 20min from my home
I could not pass up this opportunity 😉
I think I know that piece on Chrono24...
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!!
Again thank you very much 🙏🏻🤗
But please whenever you are in my neighborhood just let me know 🙏🏻 maybe we can meetup then 😉
Ok Andrew, first of all, your picture is really cute.
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...
I am sorry to advise...
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
So my friend do you belong to the worse group?
In particular the orange obsession Cheers!
Yep... I am an obsessive orange watch collector...
Its out there and no end of therapy can help me Cheers Andrew
Enjoy the obsession as you said...
And look forward to your new incoming piece! Be it an orange Hublot...
I have my eye on a piece from both brands...
but only one has been decided on so far...
Just sent off money to a Finnish watchmaker...
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
Ooooh Tim.... a new SS?
Can't wait to see the new piece! That orange dial you had recently was a killer indeed!! Cheers Andrew
All three are from the bread and butter category but they will keep me engaged...
Until something more serious comes along
4 in order for 2017
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
Picked this up . . .
. . . at the tail end of August. For the purposes of this thread, though, can we pretend it just came in today? ...
Lovely...
I would count it even if it came in July! Beautiful Omega.... stunning! Cheers Andrew
