What was your favourite buy in 2013 ?

[sgtguk]

So I bought a few pieces in 2013, as usual too many truth be told    but I do have a favourite, it's a Gen Longines Hydroconquest in blue.....................

 

 

 

I waited just over 12 months to get it as the dealers in my area had no stock and every time one popped up second hand it has sold before I had a chance to grab it   the one I ended up buying was new and I got a great deal on it too.

 

So what was your favourite piece you picked up in 2013? 

 

Pics too please

By far my favorite two buys are the stainless and rose gold AP 15400s with black dials. I know they aren't perfect but to me they are...

My favorite purchase of the year had to be my Oris Aquis Date. It is a great blend of tool watch (with it bulky bracelet links and superb clasp) and fit and form (with the polished outer links and ceramic bezel that slopes up to meet the slight domed crystal). Plus it opened my mind to wearing a watch larger than 42mm.

Seiko SSB039 Chrono. Bought this as a Speedy Pro homage since I have been in love with the moon watch since I was a kid and there aren't any decent reps about. It's a solid watch with a solid bracelet, and it wears well on the nasa velcro strap I have as well.

My favorite of last year: Laco B-Uhr

Black bay. Although finally pulling together my 1016 and 5513 has to be a close second (pics to come - too busy for words lately).

 

2013 was a good vintage in my collection...

 

 

...Excuse the pun.

I can't decide! But I guess it's one of these two

Gotta say, 2013 wasn't the best year for me, watch-wise.  I bought a couple pieces and flipped them pretty quickly.

 

The only one I kept was a Casio G-9300.

Mine was my 243 V2.

Most wrist time gets my pam 111 noob v3

 

[fraggle42]

Lots to choose from. I only started collecting reps (and decent gens) at the very end of 2012.

I think my favourites are the Pam 399, my franken UPO and the Aviator. But lots of others are a very close second!!

V5 mounted on v3 ss bracelet back in November 13'. Can't stop wearing it.

You have to dremel/file/sand the back of the lug-end on the bracelet to make it fit..

2013 was a big year for me but if I had to pic a favourite, it would be this. 

 

[FxrAndy]

Pam 89, I think it has had less than a week off my wrist since last may

[Utheman]

Seiko Bellmatic 4006 6031. Likely a Franken because I don't think the dial originally came with the case. I ditched the lame bracelet and put it on a dark brown Italian oily leather bund strap. I think it turned out to be a nice combination....

[sgtguk]

Some great pieces guys, keep em coming 

[darkstar2k77]

[aajaxx007]
