Let's see your favorite 2014 pick up

Well....after another great year, let's see everyone's favorite 2014 pick up.

Here's my full set 1675 radial gmt, I was lucky enough to pick up in 2014. I can't wait to see what 2015 brings for all of us.

Happy and healthy new year my vintage TRF brethren.

Very nice one N. I remember seeing the add on VRM, great watch

I will put all 4 of my picks of 2014, which i enjoyed all individually It is really hard to favorite one but it would probably be the 5513 feet first for me as it has a crazy case

Happy new year to all

Great thread. That is one nice GMT Nathaniel!

My best score for 14 had to be the Beast with a perfect pearl

Happy New Year all!

Definitely this one - needs a little work on the hands but otherwise just sings to me



Birth year - like me II.68 , Big Bubble, fat lugs, great chamfer, sweet long 5 insert

Great idea for a thread Nathaniel. That Gmt is a special watch.
Looks like 2014 has been good to us all.
I was fortunate to pick this one up from a close friend. It is complete with box and papers.
Have a safe evening everyone and a Happy New Year.

Since I already had several Submariners, 2014 convinced me to join the Omega band wagon...

Here is my 1970 Speedmaster Pre-Moon with lovely patina and the original 1039 SS bracelet...

Happy New Year everyone!

Got my only modern Rolex in 2014, the 42mm polar ExpII. It's the least blingy new model but I'm still not completely comfortable with it cause I'm a vintage guy at heart.

Here's my favorite from 2014. Nothing like a chunky ol' superdomed SD with crazy fat lugs.

Great acquisitions everyone! Kind of surprised by my own answer as I'm usually a Sub guy, but for me it's this GMT.

This 5513, circa 1980, currently at Rolex Canada for a servicing. Better pix to follow on its return.
