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...  

...  

I always postpone that one but I think it is slowly time to finally commit 😊👍🏻

...  

Quite intrigued by number 3 on your list. Any first verdict from your side?

Well played! Big congrats!! Hagwe Abel

Congrats

...  

...  

Find it a truly perfect reissue 👌🏻

The blue brushed dial on your PP looks beautiful.

… with an awesome dial! A sweet revenge!! Hagwe! Abel

.. 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. ...  

.nt.

Truly a great co-operation 👌🏻

Such a amazing piece of wrist art

here are my purchases since the pandemic started... in chronological order... have a great weekend! ...  

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, ... 

I like the Breguet La Tradition and Moser best!

My hard-fought at recent auction, revenge "must (have) de" purchase of ref 2413! Enjoying today. HAGWE! Clive ...  

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 👏🏻

Still am very happy with the piece 👏🏻👍🏻

. . . 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 . . . . . ....  

And yes, I can imagine which one is your favorite 😁👍🏻 A new GS? I am surprised 👏🏻 But the 1894 is a true gem 💎

. . . there's no surprise like self-surprise ;-) . . .

Surprised myself today, too 🤷🏻‍♂️ Will post tomorrow 😉

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... 

. . . 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... 

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

The omega 1894 looks very good.

It’s half brother right alongside it. I will now refer to these as my revenge duo. My best to all, Tony ...  

You must be either a deity or Boston must be very different 😂 At any rate, huge congratulations and a great purchase 👍🏻👏🏻

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

Well done Tony !

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 ...  

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 🦾

And yes G-Shock a fun addition - went after it as had combi bracelet & was a bit different. Enjoy your 5! Cheers JML

Seeing how it will take a couple of days before I get to use the Drive 😁

Variety is the spice of life !

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...  

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... 

... 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... 

I am looking for my first Cartier and you just gave me a great candidate!

Have a nice week end! Abel

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... 

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!

... 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 ... 

The title of the article “Pierce Brosnan really loves a dress watch and is fed up of Bond” ...  

… you know I’m a real fan of Bond! Will read this article with interest! Best cordial regards Abel

Hopefully we will have the pleasure next November!! Cheers! Abel

They are all superb choices Abel. By coincidence, I was enjoying my “revenge” X33 Skywalker today... HAGW ! ...  

Here we go with the latest: ...  

Really love this watch a lot . Again huge congrats

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 😁

Another long anticipated addition that happened to happen now. Very excited about it 😊👍🏻

The choice was my wife’s. Although I have to say it’s the one reissue Omega did I am most excited by 😊👍🏻

Here a few of my latest purchases Looking forward to see what the rest of this year will bring me 🙏🏻 Hagwe 🤗 ...  

We’re the DRs and FM not also recent? A fantastic selection and I see a new issue Ikepod, too - very cool 👍🏻

I thought i would only do this year 😬.
