What’s your latest purchase?

I’m just curious about what you added to the collection and maybe why?

My latest is the Cartier Tank Basculante (2405). The why: it’s just too damn cool to pass on. 
 

On 18.5cm wrist.

This is my latest acquisition. The Calypso II from E. C. Andersson 

Image

As a brit living in Sweden I wanted at least one good watch from the UK and got a Chris Ward, and one from Sweden and after a lot of searching came across ECA and really liked it.

Love this, so classy. 
 

Latest: TAG Autavia Chronograph Flyback

Why: 5th year anniversary gift from wifey. I have always admired TH since I was a kid, but I tend to shy away from popular watches of any brand I’m likely to see a lot. When this came out earlier this year as 50th Autavia anniversary, we decided it was the one.

Nice purchase! One question: what size wrist do you have?

I am considering the same watch, but not sure if I want the 36 or 38 .

·

My latest purchase is the new Longines Ultra Chron.

I really fell in love with this watch when it came out. I like its vintage style from the 70's as well as its high frequency caliber. It really feels like a GS Spring Drive when you read the second hand.

Image

The bracelet is really comfortable and robust. This is my first purchase from Longines and I am not disappointed, quite the contrary.

These two but still waiting... why ? Just look at it it’s so precious …🥺… also I really have def. Feeling my wife and I will be getting the Apple Ultra next week too…

When your wife says, 'That watch looks like it was made for you', you get the watch!😜

The “Palm Leaf” Pagani Design PD-1715. Sourced a second hand one as well for half price of retail. Why? Well why not, I’m unlikely to obtain a colourful Rolex reference any time soon (sadly, through no fault of my own), and I am pleasantly surprised at what Pagani Design are offering at the ~£100 price mark with an NH35 movement and solid steel case and bracelet. I like the look of the dial, and I can wear it to work or on the beach without worrying about destroying it. It will tide me over for now.

Orient mako xl. Because it was cheap as hell and I liked it.

I wanted a Genta watch, like the Nautilus, but I'll never be able to afford one so I figured I'd get a cheaper Gentalike, and I was looking at the PRX. But after a bit of research I found something I liked better, the Mathey-Tissot Evasion.

Omega AT

Why - As travel plans are coming back into view I wanted something that was an all arounder I didn’t have to worry about, regardless of the type of trip or destination. This watch does it all for me and could work in any scenario. Plus, having a co-axial movement has always been on my list. 

Gorgeous!

Well I've been on a bit of a bender lately and purchased far too many. Some of them the price was just too good to pass up and I wanted to experience the watches for myself, but a majority of them will be flipped, well all but one 😂

Serica, this one is a keeper 👍

Image

Ginault, nice but not my style, flipping 😢

Image

HTD Skin Diver, she's a flipper 💯

Image

ROIH Titanium Skin Diver, nice quality and definitely different, but it's not a keeper.

Image

Draken Kruger Titanium chrono, great watch but alas too big for my wrist, flipping.

Image

Lastly my MMI Turret Chrono, another good watch, but I just can't bond with it, it's going.

Image

But hey that's the name of the game, you buy to try 💯 1 out 6 ain't bad for me 🤣

 Picked this up a few days ago. Had zero intention of buying anything when I walked into the Seiko boutique... but there it was. And before I knew it, I was at the cashier. 
 

Such a fun, cool piece IMO

Nice split second decision there!

My new rule of "no crowns on the right side of the case" has really focused my gaze.

Interesting strategy!

I've had scores of watches of all case shapes and sizes pass through, and I never seemed to find them comfortable.  Earlier this year, I realized that it was the crown that I found uncomfortable; if I have the crown at 8/9/10, I can comfortably wear basically any size watch...

I picked this up since it reminded me of my dad's watch from photos of his time in the Marine Corps during the Korean War... well, that and it was only $85 on sale. At 36mm, it is my smallest watch.

·

Love the fit on you. Well done!

My latest purchase is a Seamaster 300m 42mm green on green rubber. I love it!

Why? Well I own 5 modern Rolex and rotate often. I haven't found the right daily wear watch. It's not my BB 58. It's not the BB GMT.

I like all things green. The new Seamaster is my first Omega and wow! I had no idea it was so wearable on rubber and legible. The lume beats the sub IMO.

Why did I buy? So I could have a watch to wear. 😁
