Got a new addition to the collection...





I think the next one has to be a 14270. I'm feeling an itch to replace the 1016.

Appreciate it. I should also add that I recently added this to the Seiko collection...

Looks like your second 1000 are coming a lot faster than your first.

Do you still have the thrift store GMT?

Lol yeah, I spent a lot of my early time on here just reading and not posting.

Yup, my mom still has it. I've worn it for a week since we got it back from RSC Dallas. Otherwise it's with her.


and thanks everyone else for the kind words, I've really enjoyed my time researching, collecting and talking about watches and I've also met some awesome people through this forum.

For me the picture of the 79260 and 16220 aren't showing up in the OP so here's a repost

Appreciate the kind words guys. Haven't added any new watches recently and don't see anything in the near future, but I did acquire and LN insert and another bezel ring for my GMT

Nice journey so far and the hits keep on coming. I like your style and tastes. I've been taking a better look at my collection lately of all new six digit pieces and while really not being serious on vintage I've carefully resourced and added a couple five digit pieces (16710/14060) full sets that I appreciate as much or more than the newer ones. Good read and love your collection.
