Me too, oddly enough

A specifically sought vintage model became mine at 8am. But I take no credit for early morning hunting, merely effective bidding - the auction ended at this peculiar time. Happy New Year, Ginger

congrats....pls post

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 1st, 2011-11:37
if it is bidding, it can be an impluse buy...must be something desired over time...congrats and you aqre ogg to a great horological start

congrats on the first for the year...

 
 By: ocwatching : January 1st, 2011-23:21

A GP - just posted some pics...

 
 By: Nomer : January 2nd, 2011-16:02
...on the GP forum. Nice work with the walkie-talkies (!); you must of course provide a wrist shot at some point.

this is the first purchase of 2011

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 2nd, 2011-12:47
fantastic...works up to 100m, but dun think can do more then 10-20 in built up environment...  

Walkie Talkie watches!

 
 By: RJW : January 2nd, 2011-15:40
It's like being a child all over again but in those days, my walkie talkie was the size of a brick. Regards, Richard.

and it works!!

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 2nd, 2011-15:44
wore it on the right wrist and walked into a AD...they looked worried

Next time you are in town

 
 By: TdotBean : January 2nd, 2011-16:10
I'll wear the other watch. We'll go to the AD together you go in and shop and I'll stay outside. When you pick a watch I'll scream to the watch and say 'YO! XXX IS WILLING TO GIVE 5% MORE DISCOUNT' Deal? Best Tyler

Someone must video us doing this

Buying watches and bargaining across the store talking through watches. I hate to be the AD to witness all this Congratulation on the new watch. Best Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2011-01-02 16:19:57 This message has been edited by T.Bea...

Talking to your watch, yes ! Fr.Xavier

And bring some FUN to our relatively serious horology hobby!!

Brings out the child in us

the second purchase for the day

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 2nd, 2011-16:09
decided on daytona again...but which one? i cant keep buying and selling daytona...this one is for keeps. anyone keen on sodalite dials? i used to think they are quite cool....but hey, i am a fashion ignoramus.these days in prefer the meteorite face. did ...  

Always a classic the daytona. The search for a PN is a challenge to be enjoyed.

Thks mate.

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 3rd, 2011-21:20
I bought the white gold black dial version, which has disappeared from the latest catalogue, and now only available on SS bracelet version, whilst I prefer my watches on leather straps. Decide to start off with a classic, and see how the year unfolds. Bes... 

Congrats and if you could get in touch with your femine side

 
 By: ArthurSG : January 3rd, 2011-00:29

What a great to start the New Year. Will this be the first of many???

Thks Topcat

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 3rd, 2011-21:36
Decided to start off with a classic, in a very sombre and serious black dial in WG, which I understand has been dropped from the dial catalogue, and will only be available in SS versions. This year will be quite diverse I think, but will be buying my horo...

Congrats!

You can't go wrong with any Daytona. Aris...  

Thks mate

 
 By: Hororgasm : January 5th, 2011-19:23
Whilst it may not have any haute horologerie credentials, it's still and iconic watch, defined by the longevity of design and concept, and we all just love it! I have the SS version with the zenith movement in white dial too, and that piece is more likely... 

so you meant two purchases on the same day?

 
 By: FanFrancisco : January 6th, 2011-07:03
... which one *walkie talkie" or this daytona gives you more joy? of course to me, i like both too! stefan
