Generosity should be rewarded…
Hope that this means lots of added excitement next year 😊👍🏻🤞🏻
Sigh
These days, generosity doesn’t come back. I’ve gave 2 watches away to 2 friends. They never reciprocate and it feels like a one way street. One even hinted for me to buy another for him. It told me a lot.
Hello Cookies! Two great catches for your 2022. And a generous out going triplet which found great new homes. I´m sure you felt a great satisfaction in passing those wonderful watches...
... to their new owners. Have a nice Xmas Season! Hagwe, Abel
Have a great festive season Abel
Good tidings to you and always glad to hear from you.
Hello Cookies ! …
I like your choice of the Omega Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold, looks great in your photo. I tried this one on when it was first released and was impressed with it. Next year sounds intriguing 🧐
Thanks Cap’n
I like your bronze gold chronoscope too (i believe you have one, but may be incorrect). Will post some pics of my new daytona later in Jan when I fly out.
My pleasure…
I don’t have the bronze gold chronoscope as I like the watch but wish it had a slightly smaller case, just a few millimetres 🙏
Believe me …
It wasn’t an easy decision, especially looking at your photo. I just feel that when you are uncertain it’s best to move on and possibly revisit it at some point in the future.
Dear Captain, 2022 was a year of realignment for my collection where I had set an objective to focus mostly on adding 38-40mm watches. There are many many I am still hunting or waiting "for the call" ...
But none the less I was able to add at least (maybe 1-2 more before Dec 31st!) 7: Not in chronological order: 1- Of course the CDV 2- The Traditionnelle 3- the CK859 4 and 5 are two Longines from the heritage collections 6- our WPS anniversary watch and #...
Firstly…
I’ve got to say what a revelation the Pepsi is on a leather strap, a remarkable look. All your new watches are really great choices and I have a soft spot for the CK859 as it’s so easy to enjoy in most situations whilst still looking good. It really is a ...
Fabulous year!
The traditionelle is really something. I agree, 38-40 is best for my wrist too
Hello dear friend Yacomino! You have made some great (and sublime) additions to your stable this year! I´m very happy for you. It was a real surprise to view the ceramic GMT with those...
... stunning red croc straps. They make it truly different and striking. Very nice! You have a superb collection my friend. Keep enjoying so much! Hagwe! Abel
Thank you Abel! I must say you were a great source of inspiration for some of these additions like the CDV to name one!
It feels almost mission accomplished for what I was aiming for. Next will try to hunt a few integrated bracelet steel watch like the Chopard alpine and the VC oversea
You are welcome dear Yacomino. I´m happy to know I could serve in part of inspiration for your VC CdeV and other pieces purchase. That´s a big compliment.
Your future pieces you have in mind are very interesting and beautiful. Let´s see what the ne year 2023 brings to our collections! Have a nice Xmas Season my dear friend. Best, Abel
Post from our dear friend hs111 …
Reposted at the request of hs111… 2022 for me was quite a year for me, as several pieces had entered my collection, among which there also was an addition of a grail piece to me, a PP Nautilus 5712/1 A a catch I already had eyed for some time, and as a fr...
Hello dear friend HS! I´m happy our dear Captain could help you to re-post your entry here. It deserves to be admired by all our participants. It´s obvious that you had a very busy hunting year...
... with some wonderful additions to your already superb collection. Lovely vintage Aquatimer. Agree with your coments on the CK859 Omega, which it also arrived to my collection this year. Your JLC triple calendar is a most beautiful and elegant watch. Fa...
Hello, dear friend Abel !.. Thx for your kind looking and the nice words !.. I‘m glad that you liked some of the choices !
BTW: The IWC Aquatimer is indeed a cool 70ies piece, which – although I liked it – always went a bit un–noticed, when making choices for my rotation. Thus, it had to depart but went to a nice friend, sort of consoling the previous owner.. Thx again & Chee...
Always a big pleasure to view and comment your posts dear friend HS! And your 2022 harvest is truly awesome.
Yes, the IWC design is very 1970´s and it has a very special charme. It´s so nice to know that when a watch must depart from our collections it goes to a good nice home. Keep enjoying your collection so much dear friend. Cheers! Abel
Fantastic year
I like the reverso and the triple calender moonphase….and not to mention the naughty nautilus
Nothing new & nothing ever leaves!
Hi Unusual year, in that I haven't bought any new watches. Not that I haven't been looking - just that there's been no happy alignment this year. Most of my watches have arrived by happy coincidence - but this one of those hasn't happened. The usual is - ...
A fantastic collection of more often worn this year you are sharing dear JML. Among them ... one of my favorites: the Futurematic! The Memomatic Omega my second favorite. Lovely gray...
... dial and the orange seconds hand for contrast. Exquisite! Thank you for sharing. Hagwe. Abel
To Dad: The Gift Of Time
The most inspiring and heartfelt moment was graciously gifting left-handed dad a destro Rolex GMT. Some of you may have read my article sharing the joys of this moment, and am right now tearing up a bit just thinking about this moment in time . Thank you ...

... experience both for your Dad and you. I´m sure he is enjoying this wonderful watch so much. Thank you for sharing with us!! Cheers! Abel
To be honest ...
I had no plans of buying anything this year. Already had a big incoming last Christmas and was totally content! Everything went fine until Nov. 1, when Rolex dropped the DSC and all plans went out the window!!! Three huge male African elephants can stand ...
Hello Diracpoint! A wonderful and unplanned addition to your collection for this year!! A watch that gave and will keep giving a lot of talk. An awesome watch for sure.
Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel
Dropped in at my AD yesterday

It’s been an interesting year …
Festive greetings friends ! The year started with a last minute change of plans, I had arranged to spend the last week in December, through January travelling purely for pleasure. It was cancelled 48 hours before departure due to Covid ;-(. I won’t post a...
Hello dear Captain!! I can well understand you about having plans made and then changing them due to unexpected things happening. It was the same to me last January, when I had to cancel a trip to USA...
... for an unexpected surgery. Ouch!! Fortunately everything went well for you... and me! Several great catches you are sharing here Captain. A classy Cartier and a versatile Aquanaut to open the list. Your Ultra Deep shot adds fuel to my wish of getting ...
“Such is life” as we say …
Thankfully we survived to enjoy the rest of the year. Feliz Navidad my dear friend !
Great additions dear Captain. Love the vintage omega! What case size is it?
Also agree with you on diversity. It helps us enjoy our collection even more! 👌😎
Thank you 🙏…
Just 36mm but works really well under a good shirt cuff. Most importantly for you 18mm lug width 😉
Thank you so much. And I really am enjoying it.
Granted that I really liked it upon seeing it in the metal and trying it on — it just felt right — but I thought I might not wear it as often as one of my sportier watches. I’m happy to report that’s not been the case at all.
You certainly made it a good one …
Definitely an excellent addition to your collection.
Been a good year!
Two acquired, none let go. The most recent this afternoon as my good lady had an unexpected phone call this week after 8 months wait! Love the fact she chose the OP as her own choice. Such a classic watch IMO. BBB my addition this year is an unexpected ge...
Congratulations to your lady…
You certainly had a good year Kurt. The Explorer 2 is a good looking watch and a great addition. Best regards Captain
Thanks Captain.
Just to clarify my post. Explorer I’ve had nearly five years now. The Black Bay was this years addition for me several months ago. Cheers 🍻 Kurt.
Apologies…
I was temporarily distracted by the football 😉… The BB still stands as a great choice… ...
