2021 has been quite a busy year on the watch front, especially as there was no activity until late April.
Out
My stunning collector's set 16800 was getting just to valuable for me to enjoy wearing.
I'd had this one 11 years & was a little sad to see it go.
This went in a trade for a Flat 4 LV
In & Out
Which was itself traded for a slightly newer LV
This was a mistake. I'd long wanted the Nightlum version, but got tempted by this in the Jura sale. Never bonded.
In & still around
Definite long term keeper
Missed the boat on these originally, but got offered one by a mate who needed some cash quick & knows I like Sinn
The 3 above were bought as a bit of (relatively) cheap fun. The Nordgreen watches are for sale, but the Omologato is likely to stay a while
Pic stolen from the internet. Like many, I foolishly sold my original 2 liner years ago. This is a great replacement, but I only realised I hadn't actually photographed it when putting this post together. It's been a mad few months.
The latest addition.
How did you do?

No outs.
In:
An original issue BMG 692 Submersible Panerai… love the dial; the lugs have 7 years still to fall off (every time I open the box…)
A G-Shock 5000 1TB titanium; the ultimate metal square, satin black DLC, stupidly expensive at retail. Which I was spared.
An Omega 300 Seamaster NTTD on titanium Milanese bracelet (Ti case too with feauxtina aplenty). Cheesy as hell but so easy to wear; it’s rarely off my wrist Moneypenny

Outs.
IWC Spitfire Bronze - Just wasn't enamoured with it to be honest so traded it for the PAM424.
INS
Seiko SRPE31K1 - Like this and wanted another Tuna after the Arnie Safari I bought last year.
Panerai PAM424 - California dial, 47mm but feels smaller. Love it
Hermes H08 - Saw this launched at Watches & Wonders and it was an instant "like". Got the two tone titanium on orange rubber. Love it.
G-Shock GSW-H1000 - My Garmin running watch broke and saw this so got one. Has everything I need - and it's a G-Shock
G-Shock GBD-100KI - Recent purchase with the Mudmaster. Love the MIP dials, nice and easy to read, nice features
G-Shock GWG-2000 Mudmaster - Always wanted one and had a good deal from my local G dealer on buying the new version together with the GBD-100. Got the model with the green strap instead of the safari strap - find it easier to read and already had the Seiko Arnie.
Am recently getting far more pleasure from wearing my Seiko's and G's than anything else.

You continue to buy really interesting watches, really appreciate seeing them,I'm not your average PH Goatey wearing MD
It was a reach to justify £5k for the Snoopy a few years ago
Amazing to think it sold for enough to buy the HYT & put £2.5 back into the bank.
I feel fortunate to be it's custodian
