2022 acquisitions

I picked up my Tudor BB GMT in February as a belated 35th birthday gift to myself following my 35th birthday last July.

I am very intrigued by Ceratanium. Would love to get one of those. 
 

Unfortunately, no new watches yet for me this year. Hoping to buy one near Christmas. Eyeing the new Tudor Ranger as of right now. 
 

I did, however, order some chevron straps from Crown and Buckle to try out and make one of my older watches look new while I save up for my next purchase. 

This happens if you are impatient, broke and not thinking long term. Love every single one of them but I have to keep an eye on not getting to many. next moves will be upmarket 

2022 acquisitions:

Phoibos Green Malachite Voyager

Farer Stanhope II

Zelos Comet 39mm 'Gold Carbon'

Seiko SRPH81(Worn and Wound 10 anniversary LE)

Incoming: 

Breitling Superocean Kelly Slater LE

Direnzo Purple DRZ 04 Mondial V2

K2022 has been pretty tame for me so far as I've only managed to snag 3 compared to the 7 watches I got in 2021. The year's not over yet, however! 😄 In no particular order:

1. Dan Henry 1964 bicompax
2. Seiko SNA413
3. Bedat & Co. #7

Only one watch so far. And a completely spontaneous purchase at that.

Re-discovered old Fossil of my son’s with one-way rotating bezel and hand-painted hour and minute hands and new band.

I’ve added a 1908 Waltham pocket watch. A non-running Oris TT3, not really my style but it’ll be a good project to repair. The next watch I have my eye on is a Vario 1918, white dial and lume, 37mm. 

These 3:

My plan was to buy one new watch this year. I also stated that in a comment about my plans early this year. That watch would be the Submariner I was waitlisted for. In the same comment I said that you never now about vintage. They just pop up before your eyes and you have to grab them when they do.

So how did it go? Well, not according to plan. 7 month in 2022 I bought

And finally my original planned watch

Added 2 vintage watches on top of that

I have a weak character.

I LOVE that Cherry Aquis! and of course the Explorer. Congrats buddy

you're my kinda guy! no will power  Love your watches dude

How thick is the IWC? I don't mean the "thickness" on paper but the wrist(feel)?

So I've been a pretty good boy this year...only 2 so far. Seiko Alpinist SPB243 and A Rado Captain Cook Over Pole. 

It is cool! i understand the vintage vibe the Sapphire is aiming for, but the whole watch feels modern that it sticks out like a sore thumb.

the bracelets pretty YMMV. Most people have problems getting sized up properly, i took 3 tries to find the perfect fit. It is also very light, its lighter than the watch head. so if you like your watches loose, expect abit of top heavy effect while wearing it. hope that all made sense and helped :)

The only watch I bought in 2022.

Probably the only watch you will ever need… just kidding :) bb58 is an awesome piece. 

oh, I forgot about my moonwatch 3861 acquired in the beginning of the year. 😅

V jealous that you’ve nabbed a Kelly Slater SuperOcean. Apparently they sold out in short order. Can’t wait for the pics 😍🎉👏🏼

I can't wait to actually receive it.  Rest assured, pics will happen.👍

That orange dial is amazing. 👍🏼👍🏼

And there it is 

YOWSER!!! There’s a LOT to love there big man 😍🤩👍🏻 Massive congrats, hope you have a lovely honeymoon 😉 Review in a few weeks?? 

Congrats! Looks amazing! The touch of lime in the seconds hand gives it a nice pop. 

@M.addd thanks to your comments, I got myself a Winter

Paired with a custom strap from Molequin. I am a happy man. 

HUZZAH! they look great in strap dont they? and what a beautiful Hermes-ish strap, i’ve been finding something like that as well! will check out Molequin :)

enjoy the marriage!

Awesome additions - every one of them! Congrats 

Hey how do you like your Iwc 3705? I'm looking at getting the non ceratanium version.

I love it. It has gotten a lot of wrist time since i got it last year. Love the stealthy look and the homage to the original 3705.
