Well 2016 has ended and it would be nice to reflect what one has achieved throughout the year when it comes to this hobby of ours.

So, take the plunge and share your 2016 watch achievements on this thread.

My watch hobby started more than 2 decades ago but shame to say that I am only able to get most of my grail watches last year.

Impressive. I am more into Omega watches at the moment. Hoping to find a pre owned dark side of the moon.

Saved up to get a new ride. However couldn't resist and splurged it all on watches instead.

Any regrets? Nope.

Mine is 49 hours power reserve. So once fully wound can last at least 2days.
