2005 - WHEW!! What a year!!!

Hi guys,

Don't know what 2005 was like for you guys, but for me it was definitely the YEAR OF WATCHES!!!

Watches OUT:

White-dial Exp-II
TT Blue Sub

Watches IN & OUT:

Sea Dweller
Omega Planet Ocean

Watches IN:

TT Blue YM
Black-dial Exp-II
Breitling Crosswind

Please don't even think of asking me what 2006 might bring?

Cheers - JJ

Very easily understood, Peter. Swapping out an ugly orange Pumpkin for a gorgeous black dial EXP-II is a no brainer in my book.

Looking at that list I'd be happy to own most of those watches over the next several years... but the way this addiction is hitting me who knows how 2006 will turn out... better check that piggy bank!

Spencer, I have yet to get the chance to welcome you to TRF, so a big welcome mate!!

Toooo many watches to list, but I was very busy.

I will say this, I am left with my Pam 88 (gets the most wrist time!!!) my YM, still love this one and I have another coming on Tuesday that I traded away a Pam 005 for.

Thanks for the welcome

The 88 is probably my favorite modern PAM. Can't go wrong with the YM as well. I was thinking of getting a YM but figured I would just hold out and hope to get an SS Daytona at MSRP instead. You traded the 005 for another YM?

Thanks mate!! Nah I traded it for a.......I have to wait to get it so you all have to wait to know what it is. Should be here Tuesday by 3 pm.

I had a 111 and loved it, I also had a 27 and a 112. I like to have different brands and I also just get bored easily.

Picked up the Breitling only last Thursday. Fantastic SALE price of just US$2,400 which was too good to pass up. And, hey, the TT Blue Sub was the love of my life!! Only traded it in because the TT Blue YM came up on the scene....otherwise I would have still had it!!

Thanks for reminding me JJ.

I had 4x Rolex in and out,2x Tag in and out,1x Omega GMT Co-ax out,Seiko 7002-7001 out and the only remaining watch for 2005 a Seiko SKX007.

Now that I worked out what I like it should be easier to make a choice this year......really guys it should.
