    Last Incoming for the Foreseeable Future

    I made a deal with my better half that this would be my last purchase of the year. I can't imagine how hard it will be to forgo any purchases I may come across. I think i may need to block any Web site that mentions the word Watch.











    Rolex Tudor Automatic Steel Watch Ref. 20020 worn very gently. One tiny chip in the crystal at "6". Waranty card is open. Full double boxes. $1450

    Movement: Mechanical with automatic winding; Caliber ETA 2824; 25 jewels. Power Reserve: 38 hours.
    Dial: Blue with applied stick hour markers and luminescent hands.
    Case: Stainless Steel; round shaped; diameter: 41 mm. Unidirectional Sport Rotating Bezel.
    Sapphire Crystal. Water resistant to 150 meters or 500 feet.
    Function: Hours, minutes, sweep seconds and quick set date.
    Band: Rubber with deployant clasp; 8 inches.
    Indications: Date aperture at 3

    Wow, it's very nice, congratulations! With the Air King and the other Tudor it's already 3 this week ... right? Ah well, you've been on a real tear, so a break might be good for you ... I'm trying to slow down, think I have most of the watches I've wanted.

    I think this makes four for the week. I picked up a vintage at the beginning of the week. I may need to thin the collection, but I hate going through the process of getting them ready to sell.

    Nice!. I like the case and the indices particularly.

    What a cruel SO you have. She drew the line at what....at least 20 watches for the year?

    If it was only 20 I don't think there would have been a problem.

    Thank you, it's one of the more interesting Tudor's I have seen.

    Shooting photos, listing, and replying to inquiries can be a pain. I hope the decision of which to sell is easy for you.

    It's not too hard to get away with buying more. Let her see you count how many you have or say something like "Honey, I think I need to get rid of a few. I went a little overboard and now have XX watches. I'm going to get rid of a few." Sell Z amount of watches that you're tired of or don't wear, but buy a quantity of Z - 2. Preferably the new are even better than the old, but she doesn't need to know that. To your SO it just looks like your got rid of a couple watches and are making an effort. Worked for me when I sold 4 watches & kicked in $1400 to buy the VC.

    Nice looking Tudor. That's quite a deal you struck - only have to worry about the 4th quarter! Do you have a shot of your collection somewhere? If so I'd enjoy seeing it.

    I plan to sell my multiple watches from each brand. I would like to keep maybe one from each of the brands that I have. If I can get past that part I may be able to take the photos and list the watches.

    No I haven't taken a picture of the collection as of yet. I've attempted to many times, but I can never setup the shot the way I would like it. That's my second Tudor for the week. I also picked up a Rolex Air King, and an unknown vintage Swiss triple date. Perhaps one weekend soon I will take some pictures of the collection.
