Anxious to see those pics!!!
After many years collecting multiple brands watches I've learned I cannot say "collection complete". Hahaha
My hobby, my dream, my life and my inheritance for my daughters.

Still so sad to think about what happened to your wife, heart breaking.
I am however happy to hear that the watch collecting hobby brings some happiness to your life.

Congratulations on your new watch, I'm looking forward to seeing some pictures.

Since you've been to Scott Amundsen base several times, did you happen to meet Sir Ranulph Fiennes by any chance? I'm asking this because I found his book 'cold' very interesting and inspiring.

Stratos · 25 September 2017, 10:47 PM

Sorry for your loss.

Very cool! What is the name of your book? I need to check it out

GB-man · 25 September 2017, 11:12 PM

Excited for you man

RMC12 · 25 September 2017, 11:43 PM

So sorry for loss. Your first thread was one hell of journey! I remember following it at the time and have just gone back to re-read it again. What a roller coaster!

Look forward to hearing more from you and checking out what the latest addition is to your great collection.

HogwldFLTR · 25 September 2017, 11:52 PM

So what is the ETA on the arrival of the new one? Still awaiting the photo!!!

Your photo of the GMT reflected in the pole almost make me regret trading mine in on a SD4K. But with a Sky D to wear, there is no way I could go down that rabbit hole again. For now at least the addiction is under control.

Lovely to see posting again. Although you may never meet the majority of folk on this forum, you have gained the respect of all of us. Sorry for your loss. I hope you get well soon, and when you are we can pencil in a walk in the lakes.

WS9D · 26 September 2017, 12:23 PM

Steve, I remember the original posts when everything happened. I'm glad your pushing through. She is smiling for and at you.

Will she be mad? Maybe, but I'm sure it's that angry with a secret smile behind it knowing that your happy type fake mad. Agreed, 14 is a good number. Congrats on the new incoming. May you enjoy it for many years to come.

In the darkness we find light...May the lume of your "special" pieces be that light for you.

AF_Rob · 26 September 2017, 02:59 PM
