Finally got it

After many years of window shopping - I have finally scratched my submariner itch.

It won’t be without consequence - my collection will take a big hit to partly cover the cost. I will be selling some that I have fallen out of love with (yes I’m looking at you Hamilton Pan Europe) and some that I truly don’t want to part with including an Omega PO, a seiko Diver that I adore and a Longines St Imier that had the most beautiful dial I have yet seen.

But at least I have finally cured my addiction forever.

...... now why do I suddenly want a Daytona?
