Showing the collection so far and what’s next.

Happy New Years everyone! Wanted to share my collection with the forum as no one from the family and close friends are in to watches really

All have been acquired from the same AD.

What’s next ?

Air King - I’ve always liked this model but now I’m getting kinda ready tu pull the trigger , the only thing is I keep reading Rolex might upgrade this watch and I want to see what’s new.

BLRO jubilee- spoke to my AD a couples of months ago about this one, have a Batman and I’m not sure on two GMTs but this one is definitely up there on my wish list.

Cartier Tank- Adding another Cartier watch is something I’m looking for and the angle here is this watch is gonna be for the wife and I to share. Win win

BB58 leather strap- after initial doubts regarding the size ,finally saw one in the flesh last month and it’s not as small as I imagined being 39mm. This might be the first watch of 2022.

Here’s to a healthy 2022

You have a nice diverse collection and anyone of those 4 would be a nice addition.

I have the BB58 Blue on the bracelet and it is on the smaller size, but it still gets a lot of wrist time as I enjoy staring at it and the bracelet is really nice. The BB58 on strap looks great and it should be pretty obtainable and will scratch your itch for a new watch while improving your chance of obtaining the BLRO or Air King.

The Air King is a unique watch and it fits well under a shirt cuff so it’s fun to wear it knowing that crazy dial is there hidden in formal attire.

The BLRO needs no explanation as it’s an iconic Rolex. The blue on my bezel is very dark and looks black most of the time, but I still enjoy it.

Good luck and enjoy the hunt.

Wow, you have a fantastic collection! Impressive! Needless to say....You have great tastes in watches. An AK would be a great addition imo. Would be different and look nothing like the ones you currently have. I've noticed that the AK is a love or hate. Either people love it or hate it, with very few staying in between. I love the AK, so my vote is a big YES!

Happy New Year to you as well! You're always welcomed to come and chat with all of us (Your watch family!) whenever you feel like talking about watches. We'll always be here for you! I know how you feel as most of my friends and family are not into watches either. They don't wanna hear me either talking about the latest references, styles, availability, etc.

It would be nice to have one PM timepiece.

It can be D-D, AP RO, PP or ALS.

Thanks for the support ! I know here is the only place where I can get my watch fix so I’m glad to be a part of the forum.

Are you being paid by my AD to get the AK ?? It’s working…

Thanks , I find that often the hunt is the best part of the deal

I’ve already spoke to my AD and I should have the BB58 with no wait, so I think that’s a closed deal. For sure I’m getting the tank , it’s a toss between the AK and BLRO. I know the hype around the BLRO but I just want to wear/enjoy the watches and not worry so much about what’s hype and what’s not.

Beautiful collection!

Thanks for the post and a great collection. I might do a similar one but mine is a lot more humble.
I’m in the same boat, none of my friends are into watches so I come here to get my fix of watch banter and get inspirations.

Rose gold DD green dial is the grail. But saving that one for a specific achievement in life .

Green dial DD is the grail but I don’t want to “peak” soon haha maybe in some years after I handle a couple more watches.

It’s the Santos de Cartier black ADLC wss0039.

Based on your collection, OP, I'd say AK! I'm assuming you're not into Rolesor or PM as that is where I would personally go to next.

Nice! Enjoy!
My thoughts would be to get the AK based on the fact you really like it.

Personally I wouldn’t be adding. I find anything over 3-5 watches makes my head pop off YMMV

Imo you already have a superb collection with a dress watch. No further addition is necessary.

I do love your collection, I see that we have more or less the same preferences. For this reason, my vote would be for the Air King.
