Here is my current collection. I was fortunate this year and picked up two of my grails: Speedmaster 376.0822 and just before the end of the year a near perfect example of a Gallet Excel-O-Graph by Racine. In addition, I added several nice Omegas, a couple of Hamilton Autos and I even won a LeJour Chronograph from ATG Vintage Watches.
This year I will be looking for a nice Navitimer 806, a 1962 Rolex 5513, a Breitling Co-Pilot, a Zenith De Luca, a Movado Super Sub and a Speedy CK2998.
In addition, I will hopefully be adding some interesting dive watches: Omega SM300 - 120, BP FF (Homage ?), etc.
This is an expensive list, but if I can get 1 or 2 I will be a very good year.

This watch came to me from across the sands and over the ocean.
This watch has certainly seen its share of life and has the scars to prove it. Its bezel insert has a crack in it and the bezel shows some wear around the 30 marker; however, I believe that it brings character to the watch showing that it has preformed its duty well.
I may in the future replace the bezel and insert, but that will probably be as far as I go on this one.
In addition, I just ordered a 20mm mesh bracelet and for the time being I have put this bracelet away.
