MiniMpi - August 2020
I didn't think I'd be doing another SOTC update so soon after my last one..!
1 watch has left since the previous SOTC, the C60 Trident 316L LE.
This made way for not 1 but 2 new watches
The C65 Dartmouth MK1 which I fell immediately in Love with when I saw it in the metal at the London GTG and knew I had to have one.
I adore this watch, actually wearing it today in fact.
I got it on the ever amazing camel vintage oak strap and it suits it so well, however at a later stage I may get the bracelet for it as the C65 range just looks even more incredible on the bracelet in particular.
My second purchase was one that again I listed after since it was released and I HAD to have one at some stage. Other watches got in the way in my quest but finally the stars aligned and I got my truly gorgeous C65 Pepsi GMT !!
Just the other day I purchased a new bracelet for it which is literally the making of the watch and it is staying on it forever. Truly adore the look of this watch.
So yes a very busy couple of years of collecting and selling also but I now have 22 CWs and of course my 1934 Rolex 'Tank' vintage as well.
You can never say never.....but I am extremely happy and contented with my current collection.
Nothing is really on the horizon as such so we'll see how things go in the future.

Re: MiniMpi - August 2020
Cracking Ferg.
Those last two plus the sh21 version may well be the cream of the crop
Have you never fancied dabbling with another brand?

Such a great collection of CW's finest, I'd be happy to have any of them in my collection.
Your photos on the forum have been responsible for me buying a C11 Elite and a C60 Titanium V2 in the past year - must resist any more!!

Re: MiniMpi - August 2020
You have some great CW's there Ferg.
I particularly like the current C65 range and like yourself have the Dartmouth. I got it on the hybrid strap and then got a bracelet which suits it really well, wearing it at the moment in fact.
You mentioned getting a bracelet for your Dartmouth but you could just swap over the one from your GMT if you could be bothered, maybe you prefer just to get another bracelet?

Re: MiniMpi - August 2020
Thanks everyone !
@Paul : If I was to dabble it would probably be an Omega, more than likely an Aqua Terra.
@Patrick : Yes I probably would just swap out the bracelet between the two watches.
I'll try the bracelet on the Dartmouth soon to see how it looks.

Re: MiniMpi - August 2020
Belatedly got to look at this Ferg.
As anticipated a great, eclectic batch of CWs.
I'm glad the stars aligned and you were able to get the C65 Pepsi GMT. You've bee talking about getting one since it was released, but then a different model would get in the way.
Your C65 SH21 LE has got to be the pick of the crop, to my mind. Top notch.
Enjoy wearing them and keep up with the good photos.

Re: MiniMpi - August 2020
Looks great Ferg.
My pick of your collection (which I don’t own) would be the C60 MkII Titanium. I’d one on a bracelet when I didn’t gel with. Yours on that strap looks great.

Very nice collection there Ferg, but that Rolex is looking a bit lonely; you might need to get it a mate...
