Slow year for me... no new watches, still with the fantastic four that I have. I did entertain the possibility of a RG Daytona w/ black dial or the Smurf... in the end, I could not pull the trigger just yet.

Maybe in 2013.

On the flip side - I got my youngest brother to buy a SubC and I got my father-in-law to pull the trigger on a TT DJII w/ sticks on a champagne dial.

How was your year in watches?

77T · 20 December 2012, 02:30 PM

Many flips and a few keepers...I think Jocke had a good year based on another thread he started somewhere...

yonggoh · 20 December 2012, 03:13 PM

4 pieces for me...and no more spare cash...
a daytona, iwc baby pilot, b&r and AP

oh and a Luminox beater

GradyPhilpott · 20 December 2012, 03:33 PM

I just ordered a Seiko 5 from Amazon because I've always been interested in them and I saw the first one at the bowling alley just yesterday worn by the brother of my coach. He bought his for hunting and working as one of the mechanics on staff.

I don't have high expectations for it, as it was only $69, but I like the looks of it and it will fill a niche.

As for Rolex, I picked up my Sub from the AD one year ago this month and I have not purchased another watch before tonight.

I don't know exactly what the future will hold for future purchases, but I know when the bug bites, I have to act. I'm just waiting.

TakesALickin · 20 December 2012, 03:39 PM

Six in, twelve out. It's movement in the right direction, and my "in column" includes my first Rolex Sub, so it's been a good year. At the end of the year, these were the keepers...

DS_Obsessed · 20 December 2012, 03:43 PM

Trying to close hard. I have at least one, incoming. Hoping for two.

JUSTROLEXES · 20 December 2012, 03:59 PM

Glad the year is almost over Joey so you can pull trigger soon

Spoken like a true enabler!

As for me, kind of a quiet year for me.

Smurf? RG Daytona?

Token74 · 20 December 2012, 08:09 PM

Rolex Sea Dweller 16600 and a Bremont MB2 TWG LE (no. 5 of 30 made).

So not busy, but stacked full of quality!

Vincent65 · 20 December 2012, 08:18 PM

1680 RED SUB, 16600 SD and a TT Yachty for my wife. Sold a bunch of stuff, not just watches.

esm · 20 December 2012, 08:24 PM

Same here. Have not bought a watch this year.

Have had a couple of opportunities though.

kikker · 20 December 2012, 08:41 PM

5 for me :) 3 new (ss daytona, exp2 and dj2), 2 second hand (2003 sub and 2011 dssd)

WhatTheDeuce · 20 December 2012, 10:12 PM

11 in for me. Ugh!!!

FeelingTheBlues · 20 December 2012, 10:14 PM

Six keepers out of seven purchases for a total of eight watches, two of the ones I bought last year were sold as well.

Cru Jones · 20 December 2012, 10:33 PM

2012 started out well with what i thought was bronze....

turns out, it was brass, and magrette took it back with a full refund.

next move was to say goodbye to this beauty:

in order to welcome this one.

hope 2013 brings great things to you all.

El Rey · 20 December 2012, 10:58 PM

Kind of opposite yet similar to Cru. 2 new incoming. 216570 and 116610LV. It was a good year!

Keeperoftime · 20 December 2012, 11:00 PM

Quite a few :-)

The GMT Master · 20 December 2012, 11:02 PM

Slowest year I've had in about 4 years. No new additions at all, and moved a couple out to friends as gifts. Current collection stands at 6, but hoping to flip my Datejust for a GMT IIc in the new year...

mjclark32 · 20 December 2012, 11:46 PM

Nothing new for me this year, bought a house and got married this year. Once everything is, sortof, done with the house I'll get back in the action.

Zed Homme · 20 December 2012, 11:56 PM

2012 has been a good year in context of watches for me. I got a AP ROO, PP 5712, Tudor heritage chrono, sub LVc, and a sub lb (smurf) this year.

I did sell a Bell and Ross though.

I ordered a seiko in the spring. Full auto movement and a saphire crystal for $180. Was a great deal. I thought the bracelet was too shiny so I put it on a NATO. You can't go wrong Grady!
