2020 has just come. 2019 was a fruitful year for me as I had the chances to acquire several lovely timepieces.
Here are some of the best watches I got in 2019:
1. JLC Reverso Ultra thin in rose gold. I got this actually in 2018 but sold it in early 2019. It is a beauty to behold and I was lucky enough to get it from my boss at a very very good price.
2. Breguet 7027 in white gold. Got this in late 2018 and sold it in early 2019. Lovely piece for close-up photography of its movement. It is a watch you will never get tired of.
3.IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar in white gold. Another piece acquired in late 2018 but sold in early 2019. My first perpetual calendar which was sold to a nice gentleman who knows how to appreciate good things.
4. Rolex 16618 Onyx dial. My great pleasure to have worn this watch as it is a very rare piece produced for only a few years. Sold to an American billionaire in March.
5. Rolex 16520 A series. An almost unpolished example of the 16520 A series. Sold to a Pinoy who has become also a good friend of mine. We had some good adventures in Hong Kong.
6. Rolex 16528. Acquired it in May and it is definitely one of the best 16528 I have seen. The case is perfect and the dial is in superb condition. Sold to a good watch friend who is a vintage expert.
7. Rolex 116528 Paul Newman. My favourite Daytona. I was lucky enough to also get a 116508 Paul Newman to pair with it. The 116508 was sold while the 116528 is still in my collection.
8. Rolex 1680/8. A superb find in October. One of the most expensive watches I have ever acquired and I loved it soooooo damn much. Sold to a Singaporean property developer. He bought from me two watches consecutively.
9. Rolex 16808 nipple dial. Similar style to the 1680/8 but with a modern touch. It is unpolished and still is in my collection.
10. Rolex 5513 Meters First. Comes with a ghost insert and another fat font insert. It is in very good shape as the case is very fat and the dial is in good condition. It even has a 7206 rivet bracelet.
11. Two interesting Seikos. One is the SBDX016 and the other one is the Predator reissue. Very lovely pieces to wear when you want to get away from expensive pieces for a while.
