Didn't want to post one of those same SOTC threads so something new... :lol: . My 'WIS AYE'... Watch Inventory Situation, At Years End :huh

Anyway, I'll keep it short - sure everyone's a little groggy after the holiday.

My Breitlings... Blackbird 13353 (blue dial) and Navitimer Fighters.

Fairly recent acquisition - IWC Pilot Chrono 3717...

My most recent pickup (with unique coloring) - Crepas Tactico TC2... 42mm, 500M WR, also rated at 70,000 A/M (about 900 Gauss), kind of surprising.

That's all folks, thanks for viewing! Don't really know what next year will bring but will probably let at least one go soon, need to reduce numbers. I did see IWC was coming out with a new Ingenieur 40mm, may be something to look at (??). Sometime down the road I would like to pickup one of the Navi 01's, but that would require more drastic reduction in inventory, not quite ready for that yet.

Anyone else eyeing a 'must have' for next year?

(On a more personal note, managed to get thru 4 months of cancer treatment early 2012, my wife and I celebrated our 30 year anniversary with a week in the Turks & Caicos in May, and wife and I officially retired Dec. 1st of this year. A year with a different perspective for us.)

Wish everyone a safe and healthy New Year!
Terry

Wow, Terry, quite a year. I hope all is well on the health front, and congrats on your retirement. Collection's in fine shape, like that Navi :wink: and I thought the IWC was a new addition. In case the opportunity doesn't arise later, Happy New Year.

Thanks Rich, like the Ball. It wears really well for a 44mm as it's only 12.85mm thick. I wear it a lot traveling because of the lume, always can see the time. Got to have one Tritium piece in 'Inventory' (my new phrase :) )
