Re: What have you just bought?

It's all I've ever wanted and I'm lucky to own one. Since then I've then stopped looking and totally lost the desire to buy or wear anything else. So it probably ended up saving me money buying other watches to collect. Also at least my Omega has increased in price since if I ever sell it, it'd make a bit of a profit.

My wife is happy as she has now claimed all of my other watches as her own apart from the Omega obviously.

The Seamaster is a beautiful series of watches

Watch collecting is a funny old game, there’s always that ‘oh just ore more’ which inevitably leads to several more. Congratulations on having the restraint to stop buying !!!

Right now I’m looking at and choosing between

Rado Captain Cook chrono
Omega speedmaster moonphase
Christopher Ward C1 Moonglow
Tag Heuer Carrera Chronosprint X Porsche Special Edition
Zenith Chronomaster Sport
