Collection update



Slowly but surely getting there. Gradually learning what I really like and use. All of these get regular wrist time.

Really enjoying my new Reverso Duo. Almost like having two watches in one. Perfect size too!

Next up has to be a complicated gold piece I think!

The design and the lugs don't work for me, hope to find a thin ALS that might work.

I was thinking a Duometre, but I don't think it is thin... (you said no Lange for the thickness)

A collection many would be envious of, well done.

Like my own though, lots of similar steel sports watches in there. No matter how much I try I always end up overweight steel sports watches!

I guess the Reversos do get you away from that theme a little and definitely your pondering of a complicated gold piece might also be a nice diversifier, unless of course that ends up being another RO or Nautilus.

Are you leaning any particular direction on the next piece?

You should definitely look at FPJ - they are relatively thin and is a piece of art especially with the all gold movement and gold dials in some cases.

Nice collection. You obviously like sports watches. Will the next be sport or dress?

Trying to steer away from any model that I already have. Likely a Lange Saxonia thin, Patek complication/ Calatrava or a JLC complication.

I'd echo a few others here in suggesting you look at FPJ. If your location is really 'ie' then you'll likely not have much opportunity to see many in the flesh but to the extent you can I'd recommend doing so.

It's is Eire but London is a short way away. I did visit the London AD and loved some of the FPJ cases. With the right dial it can work well.

I think FPJ or Lange are great and solid choices, FPJ being the independent choice by excellence and Lange the heavy hitter and more in tone with the rest of your pieces which represent IMHO serious watchmaking from celebrated brands

A big fan of the diversity which is unfortunately not overly common on TRF.

Congrats!
