Order in which you have purchased watches

[dimag333]

On my quest for a second keeper timepiece I am going over in my head what I have purchased and what I have liquidated. For some reason everytime I try to finish a purchase this week of various PAM watches something gets in the way, usually a discrepancy in year, dial ect ect. which has me revisting Rolex, IWC again.

In what order did any of you purchase your watch brands or models. Right now I have a 114060 and looking for a complimentary watch, buying new. Probably in the 4-6K range.

so far I have looked at

IWC Ports
Various Lumionors

Watches I have owned that didn't stick

Omega-FWOTM, Speedmaster Pro, Seamaster (regular blue one), felt like I was gonna shred the 2 Speedy watches on my boat (dont own boat anymore)

Rolex-Polar EXP (prev model), Sub Date (prev model) both felt a little small for me

IWC-Auqautimer-I really liked this watch, but had to let it go for $ reasons when starting my company, wouldn't buy again though

thoughts? recommendations? Really still considering a EXP 1 without the lume dials maybe, DJ II.

I think I have asked this question before with less detail as to why I was asking it.

me either...

Started with crappy watches and came to my senses when I was 30 something.

Started with Omega Speedmaster Professional. Manual wind. The real moonwatch not the automatic heresies.

Acquired a used Sub date and then a BNIB SD4K (favorite watch)

Next watch will probably be the new Sea Dweller to go with my SD4K.

Target watch is a nice Patek World Timer. I think the ref number is 5110(?)

Tag > Breitling > several Rolex > Patek > AP > Lange > more Rolex > AP > more Rolex > just ordered a blancpain

That's all I've got.

Sub 16613 was new in late 80's, the DD 18038 was used in early 90's and I mainly wore it on straps as a dress watch when I wore suits everyday.

Pretty sure it's an 02", has the engraved movement. Should I stick to with it?

I had a lot of watches in my early and mid twenties. I'd get bored and flip them. I'm now going to collect again. There were some tags and tudors mixed in there too.

[Andrés G]

I have flipped watches for over ten years now. I can't remember all of them but this craziness began with Omega, shortly followed by my first Rolex and then JLC. At this point I have owned multiple Rolex, JLC, Longiness, Cartier, Blancpain, Panerai, Girard Perregaux, AP and Breitling.

Have AP, Rolex, Omega and Breitling at the moment.
