Four great catches dear Art!!
I specially love that 1894 and of course the 321 Ed White. You know how much I love GS watches.
Agree with you that there is no surprise like a self surprise! Lol!
Beautiful restoration project you have here!!
I wish your EW will arrive soon!!
Hagwe! Abel

The WS for the 25th of June - ‘Recenge shopping’ - is live
As the announcement for a renewal of Baselworld shows, the watch manufacturers are eagerly awaiting out ‘revenge shopping’, as a letting off of steam after the pandemic. So this is the theme of this week. I would like to see the latest purchase, or the wa...
Wonderful choice, JLCMan!
I always postpone that one but I think it is slowly time to finally commit 😊👍🏻
Quite a catch, these four! 👏🏻👌🏻
Quite intrigued by number 3 on your list. Any first verdict from your side?
Such a wonderful piece - really need to check it out (if they didn’t sell out, yet)
Find it a truly perfect reissue 👌🏻
Great watch JLCman!! That’s a wonderful watch…
… with an awesome dial! A sweet revenge!! Hagwe! Abel
Bought at the end of Lockdown ...
.. and my most spontaneous watch purchase ever, so it should qualify well for revenge shopping. First thing I did was to go to an exhibition with it. ...
thanks for the theme, KMII! and i like your spring drive chronograph very much! looks very special with the upside down sub-dials :)
here are my purchases since the pandemic started... in chronological order... have a great weekend! ...
That’s quite a selection, Terbaboom!
The Spring drive has a fully rotatable case, so like pictured for time telling, and if you want to use the stop watch you rotate it into a bullhead configuration. You have added some truly delectable pieces in the meantime, the Moser does it most for me, ...
Like your retro-style Seamaster
My hard-fought at recent auction, revenge "must (have) de" purchase of ref 2413! Enjoying today. HAGWE! Clive ...
Funny that…
Went to Cartier today with the intention of getting a new Must but ended up with something else instead 😂 Very cool piece you have here - congratulations 👏🏻
One of the vintage reissues that somehow never fully took off…
Still am very happy with the piece 👏🏻👍🏻
Four in 2021 . . .
. . . so far. Omega 1894 Homage . . . . . . and GS SBGH 279 . . . . . . are at home with Daddy. The vintage project . . . . . . is currently undergoing restoration at the spa, so this seller's photo will have to do. The fourth is paid for, and . . . . . ....
You truly are on a roll, Art!
And yes, I can imagine which one is your favorite 😁👍🏻 A new GS? I am surprised 👏🏻 But the 1894 is a true gem 💎
You're surprised? Jeez, I had no intention of buying a watch that day! . . .
. . . there's no surprise like self-surprise ;-) . . .
Four great catches dear Art!!
I specially love that 1894 and of course the 321 Ed White. You know how much I love GS watches. Agree with you that there is no surprise like a self surprise! Lol! Beautiful restoration project you have here!! I wish your EW will arrive soon!! Hagwe! Abel...
The resto project, Abel, is a '53 ref 2608 . . .
. . . which is probably as close as I'll ever get to owning an original Rail. Cal 283 movement in a 36 mm steel case with a black dial - not all that far off. But nothing will ever replace CK 2914 in my affections. Not even a Ranchero, which is truly as c...
Interesting to know dear Art. But we never can say what surprise Lady Luck has in her mind for us collectors!! May be that CK 2914 arrives some day sooner than what we dream,
Agree that the Ranchero is a very desirable piece as well. I can´t wait to view your 2608 project finished! Look forward to that! Have a nice week end my dear Art! A big hug for you. Abel
I was in Boston two weeks ago. Had a nice conversation with my contacts at the new Rolex boutique. This showed up today
It’s half brother right alongside it. I will now refer to these as my revenge duo. My best to all, Tony ...
Two weeks wait for a steel Rolex?
You must be either a deity or Boston must be very different 😂 At any rate, huge congratulations and a great purchase 👍🏻👏🏻
Wow!! You have good contacts in Boston dear Tony!!
That’s a great revenge duo indeed! Congrats on this new catch. You know how much I love Subs! Enjoy them so much dear Tony! Cheers! Abel
Recent arrivals
Hi I'm not sure I'd refer to this pair as revenge shopping. The Casio could possibly be a consequence of covid due to all the YouTube videos I watched - but the blame's more there than covid. The GP alarm - well it's an alarm, course I'm interested. Been ...
Two very cool additions, JML!
You are slowly advancing to the Mr. Alarm status around here, with the GP bringing you that one step closer ⏰ And I can fully understand you on the G-Shock - up to five in our household in the meantime, too 🦾
Thanks :) there are always more alarms to look for.
And yes G-Shock a fun addition - went after it as had combi bracelet & was a bit different. Enjoy your 5! Cheers JML
At the moment the Seamaster is getting a lot more wrist time…
Seeing how it will take a couple of days before I get to use the Drive 😁
Hello dear KM!! Great theme and Grand Opening post!!
I love the classic Omega and I’m happy you got your Seiko Spring Drive chrono after such a long hunt and wait, a unique awesome design it is no doubt! Indeed the long lockdown months (9 months) in my Country during 2020 and the return to strong short term...
That is quite the selection, Abel!
Four different Speedmasters, a Bond and a Pasha - wow 🤩 As we discussed I am still surprised that Cartier decided to remove lume from what has historically always been a dive watch, even if it looks nice design wise. And keeping my fingers crossed that Ro...
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear KM. Yes, it is strange the decision of Cartier about removing lume from hands and dial of Pasha. Guess they observed that...
... most of their owners actually never took their watches to the water and it is only a luxury watch nowadays with no diving pretentions. Who knows! Regarding Rolex: in my recent trip to Miami I was able to visit several Rolex Boutiques and they have abs...
A wonderful Omega collection and a stunning Cartier Pasha!
I am looking for my first Cartier and you just gave me a great candidate!
Always a pleasure dear Sfwatchlover. The Pasha is both elegant and can be sporty and formal at same time, with the possibility of wearing it with a metal bracelet or the beautiful croco straps.
The steel model comes with a grey straps included and the Boutique presented me with a blue one as well. I also ordered a red croco set which still didn´t arrive to me. The watch seems to change personality with bracelet, or straps and with colors you cho...
Thanks a lot Abel for the additional information which is very helpful! When I saw your pictures, I thought for a moment that you got three Cartier pieces there.
So I got it that you said that the watch changes personality with different straps and bracelet. It is really nice and I look forward to seeing your Pasha in red strap! Enjoy your weekend!
My big pleasure dear Sfwatchlover. I´m happy to know my information can help you. Yes, it is the same watch and pictures illustrate how the change of straps/bracelet can change any watch...
... to suit a particular event or to make it closer to your personal tastes. I´m eagerly waiting for my red straps which I ordered in May. I was told that they will need a few more weeks to arrive. It takes its time as they are specially ordered to Paris ...
Hi Abel, I read this article and would love to share this screenshot with you :) have a good day!
The title of the article “Pierce Brosnan really loves a dress watch and is fed up of Bond” ...
Thank you so much for sharing Sfwatchlover…
… you know I’m a real fan of Bond! Will read this article with interest! Best cordial regards Abel
I imagine every Bond fan is eagerly waiting for NTTD!!
Hopefully we will have the pleasure next November!! Cheers! Abel
Cartier amongst a sea of Omega ! ...
They are all superb choices Abel. By coincidence, I was enjoying my “revenge” X33 Skywalker today... HAGW ! ...
Actually another was added yesterday, about an hour after the post was up…
Here we go with the latest: ...
A absolute stunning Cartier my friend .
Really love this watch a lot . Again huge congrats
Thanks a lot - we actually went to look for the new Mist de Cartiers…
But with the non-pliant straps they come on they felt very weird on the wrist. Trick missed 🤷🏻♂️ No such issue with this one. Plus it’s not a reissue, so I feel the brand should be rewarded for that 😁
Thanks a lot Abel!
Another long anticipated addition that happened to happen now. Very excited about it 😊👍🏻
Thanks a lot, Nico…
The choice was my wife’s. Although I have to say it’s the one reissue Omega did I am most excited by 😊👍🏻
Thanks for hosting these weeks WS my friend
Here a few of my latest purchases Looking forward to see what the rest of this year will bring me 🙏🏻 Hagwe 🤗 ...
This is quite a run already…
We’re the DRs and FM not also recent? A fantastic selection and I see a new issue Ikepod, too - very cool 👍🏻
Correct my friend , those were last years purchases 😉
I thought i would only do this year 😬.
