Impulse buy, never really worked it's way into the rotation.



Too big on my little wrists



Too big



Love it, but sold it once because it wasn't getting enough wrist time, bought another and am in the process of selling it again because it wasn't getting enough wrist time.



After purchasing it, I decided I liked the stick markers better



I prefer the black date wheel on the non-LE



Watch was a little repetitive in my collection as I have other open faced watches



That's it.....for now

Okay, with what pics are still around, here we go....


My first Breitling. Enjoyed it, but decided after a while I had enough digital




My second Breitling. Two tone and pearl dial. A great watch, but at the time just seemed a little blingy






I had to have a Panerai, but the 44mm just didn't seem right. A 40mm showed up which just seemed to work. About a month after joining BS, I succumbed to the fever spreading through this site and bought a new Steelfish. I also found a great deal on a Navi Heritage. Beautiful watch, though it too seemed big and the second hand on this module piece wasn't as smooth as I liked. Still, I had a nice little collection







And I blew it up, sold all but the GMT, for this







It was an amazing piece, winding it was possibly the greatest tactile pleasure I have had in this little watch obsession, but the dial was ruthenium, which looked grey in certain lights until it looked brown, which is what it really was. Down to the GMT and that piece, and almost a little intimidated by the Breguet, it had to go.


Somehow I ended up with this:







It was gone in a couple months. Just didn't bond with it.

Part 2 next.

I don't remember the order of things for a while, but I had and sold these:



This was a great watch. I sold it for some funds after an unexpected mess which required a slight remodel of our home.







This was actually a pretty piece, just a little small--and a quartz. Perpetual calendar, though







This UN was a very nice watch as well, but I had Panerai fever at the time







I sold the GMT above, my first nice watch, because after owning Breitlings, the bracelet just felt so cheap. I also had a plan to pick up a new IWC Cousteau 10th Anniversary Chrono. That fell through. But it was already gone.



Next, I sold this one because it was a little too monochromatic. I would have stuck it out though, but for an opportunity to pick up its replacement. The most comfortable watch I ever owned....







....and the one which replaced it.







Probably the prettiest watch I have owned. But I was slowing down on my dollar investment in the collection for a while. It was, at 39mm, also just a little smaller on the wrist because it was the ultra-thin 15202. Still, ouch.


There are a few others, but boy, its been a busy three years.


And I'm cool with what I have

Wanted another like my Speedmaster I traded for this one. Wanted acrylic and manual whind Chrono.




Got manual wind Chrono and acrylic, but missed the date and then got orders to Germany and wanted dual time zones...so I bought an Aerospace....incoming as we speak and pictures below.

In order to fund part of this beautiful must have IMO.....well the Silver dial on the camel Croc

Always wanted an analogue-digital, but realised it should have a black dial


Then thought a grey dial would be a nice compromise, not so.



Then added an SOH which I loved but sold it, (dunno why)



Then finally got a black dial B1 with UTC, just in time for the recession, (doh)



Others that came and went were:



Should have got a B1





This was absolutely fantastic, but massive and went for that and financial reasons



That's my story. Currently now have a BLACK dial B1 with a Seawolf incoming. That'll be me happy.
