As observed above, lovely tight and well considered collection. Speedy and Cartier both standouts for me
I also found my vintages got less and less wrist time, possibly as I moved to wearing a slightly larger size. In my case most were sold or gifted and i just retained a couple of special ones.

Right, we'll see how long that attitude lasts!!..btw, have you seen the new GO divers w/ the large date?...Amor Vincit Omnia wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 7:44 amNever say never, but I think it would take something pretty special to make me want to buy another watch. That is today’s opinion of course.
I feel absolutely no urge to keep on collecting.

Always nice to see a well thought out collection. Mind you, it’s always nice to see folk’s collections, period!

Re: AVO SOTC - August 2020
That to my mind, is the best collection of watches you have had. The newer additions unsurprisingly get the most wear as they are the best watches. I wonder where you will be in 12 months, as you are now quite unpredictable!

Great post Steve, love your collection and enjoyed the read. Do you see a consolidation (ruthless as you noted) within the vintage side of your watches?

I doubt it, Lance. They are nice to have around, and I’m not sensing such a general keenness to buy and trade older watches as we had a few years ago.
The Omega 286, Longines and Enicar are safe. The others could be negotiable.

Very nice! Lovely design, beautifully made, nice price...oh wait a minute!
Ahem! I think if I were splashing (sic) that kind of money on a watch (which I am not) it would not be a swimming watch. I don’t dislike them and I have a couple, but they are not THAT high on my list.
