It's now 12 months since the car fever subsided ( still there bubbling away in the background ) and I became more interested in watches

Not sure which is worse, both take up similar amounts of internet time and generate similar levels of disinterest from the patient Mrs B

Anyway here is the collection to date, already had the Oris as a daily watch from 2007 and have added from right to left Raymond Weil Freelancer, Citizen Eco, Steinhart Marine Officer, Orient Mako and Steinhart NavB.

Others have come and gone and next on the list is probably the Hamilton Pan Europ which I spotted in Duty Free recently at a bargain price - see below

Really like that Pan- Europ.

Will you go for blue or grey?

I've just checked out the chrono version as well - better looking than the similar Tudor..?

Me too. I've always liked the blue.

As for car fever. I realise my audience but I'm just not that into cars these days. I see stuff I like but can never justify the money it always seems like a waste of cash. The whole buying a watch and selling it for what you paid for it (in most cases) has really made me look at where I decide to spend my money.

+1 for the Steinhart. They do a nice pilot's watch. I like their marine watches too, but the bronze one isn't for me.
