Oh, man.. Not a lot at all.

Milgauss which is gone now (good riddance.)

My favorite, a Skyland V3 graphite dial. Oh, and a 42mm pumpkin PO.

Some straps. I replaced my fathers older Wok mariner with a Noob.

Got a TAG link ladies on the way for my girl for xmas.

All in all, pretty quiet for me.

Nothing.

None.

Been at this too long, 25 Rolex reps over five years. Pared down to ten trustworthy, handsome, if not correct to genuine, watches.

I'm not out of the game though. Just waiting for the true 'grail' watches to arrive. V100 or whatever, not another single cent until they 'get it right' with the Submariner, Sea Dweller, and Speedmaster.

Get a Skyland V3. Amazing. If you like Breitlings, of course. Is it all Rolex all the time for you?

No, no, no!!! This is exactly what you want to avoid. I don't want a list or reminder of how much money I blow. That is why I drink, to forget.

The past is the past, the future may not come, all we have is the present. Lets move forward from here.

+1! I do not want to know. Well I know, but I would like to forget, and prey that my wife does not know. Even though, I know, she knows that I know she knows, about the couple of reps and 4 Gens.

I have a Vache Malte Classique for 'big paople' stuff; weddings, funerals, mortgage refinance. and a PO Chrono because I wanted to test out the 28,800vph 7750 thinking it may help the 116520. It didn't.

Breitling are nice, maybe the SOSF. The 'pilot' watches are too busy of dial. I don't know any pilots who wear them. The E6B slide rule bezel is a joke. A joke only pilots get.

I've been in this game long enough to know that may never happen.

Yeah, I know. Think of the savings. But, I'm not unrealistic Jody. If they can get those models I mentioned as close as the Planet Ocean or Steelfish? I'd bite. Those in house Rolex calibres. That's the beatch. The Speedmaster Moon watch is all there in tooling, component and movement availability. I would imagine that will be my next purchase. It's up to them.

I thought that it was pretty slow year for me. I purchased only 4 watches.

First was the WM9 Sub v2. Yeah, they have upgraded the crown position, etc. but this Sub is so incredibly close to the real thing that it's good enough for me. I doubt I'll ever need another Sub, especially after I managed to find almost perfectly fitting WM9 v1 SELs for it.

Sold my rep Seamaster (which I worn pretty regularly during the past 4 years). I upgraded it to genuine article. Bought the watch from a forum friend. What needs to be said about the Bond Seamaster... it's like the Sub... a classic.

wallp.jpg

Another upgrade... sold the rep Aquaracer and bought the gen. Again from a fellow forum member. It's an incredibly cool looking watch and they haven't replicated the 41mm version anyway (which has always been my favorite). Probably the favorite watch in my collection.

Traded my GMT IIc replica to this BTR with another member. It originally came with a strap but I bought the bracelet later. The subdial spacing isn't correct but quality wise this is one of the best reps I have ever seen. I actually prefer it over the white Discovery.

Then I sold my rep SFSO and looking for a blue dial genuine (from EU). I'm not kicking tires... ready to purchase. Anyone selling? :)
