Final watch purchase for 2016
« on: December 08, 2016, 10:39:41 AM »
What to start this thread for people to share their last acquisition for 2016.

There's 3 more weeks to go before the end of the year so still a lot of time to get cracking. If you have made up your mind and not get anything else until the new year, why not put up a photo of your final watch purchase for 2016 here.

I want to get either a Nautilus or an AP RO, but apparently, neither company wants to sell me the watch without making it as difficult as possible for me.  And my response to that is they can kiss my rear.

I might get a JLC Duometre instead.

Bought this during the recent Cyber Monday sale because couldn't  resist the offer  ;D
My first Orient Star watch, the Star Seeker.
I backed the Urban chronograph by Undone on Kickstarter after this purchase but my credit card won't be charged till they start to deliver in January or February, so it is next year's purchase  :laugh:

This has been a crazy year, starting with the SRP 789 turtle reissue to the SBDX 017 MM300, a vintage GS 4522-800. And this IWC Le petit prince mark 18 just two weeks ago. No more for 2017. ????

This is a stunning piece, seen and hold one in person and it took my breath away, photos don't do its justice.

I like the color combo but didn't like the new size. If only the DJ II came in this combo

This is a nice & simple IWC Pilot, very nice collection

My latest purchase is the LLD. But I've had three purchases this year and quite a number of straps. All within months of each other in the end of 2016.  :Praying:
