Hmmm, I cancelled my reservation for the FLE in the end as it didn't really grab me sufficiently, so it turns out it wasn't fairly certain after all.welshlad wrote:Hmmm, tricky. I'm not sure what 2015 will hold yet.
The FLE 2015 is penned in, so that one is fairly certain.
Well I did acquire a 40mm Jumping Hour which I like very much. The moonphase may come in the future, maybe. And the C9 small seconds is still floating around in my mind as an idea.welshlad wrote:Another CWL possibility is the 40mm moonphase or the 40mm Jumping Hour, if either of those make an appearance. I was thinking about the 40mm SH21 5day, but the FLE may end up being too similar.
This problem has still not been solved, although I do have a short-list now (the Chronoscope is still just about on it). A matter of priorities really. Fraser Hart phoned me recently to say that I'm getting near the top of their Daytona waiting list, which I joined as there was no obligation and it seemed like a good idea at the time. I do really like it, but some serious financial rearrangement / windfall will be needed if that is to come to fruition!welshlad wrote:I also need to get a modest-sized white-dialled chronograph. The Junghans Chronoscope is currently top of that list but more research is required yet.
The yellow C600 came. And went. The Magrette left. So did the PO. A blue SMP arrived and is staying! And a white C60 Mk2 arrived, which is also staying (probably). A Black Bay Red arrived and that's staying too. But I don't actually have a black diver as such at the moment. However, a plan to resolve this issue is in hand (if someone would just buy my B&R first!).welshlad wrote:And my divers need sorting out. There's too much black and grey currently, so I need to find a nice yellow C600 to brighten them up (unless there is a yellow Trident II around the corner!). I also need to decide whether to swap my PO for a Pelagos. Either way, I think my Magrette Moana Pacific will be exiting at some point. A need for a white diver may also emerge, so there will be the usual fun prioritisation calls to be made!
Other unforeseen arrivals included my Breitling Aerospace and the B&R. A Nomos Club and a blue C5 Slimline also came and went. I also sold three of my FLEs (2013, 2012 blue and 2011).
So another active year! Who knows what 2016 will bring?! More watches probably.
