    Introduction

    Good Day, my fellow watch lovers

    I'm diagnosed with the wristwatch virus for about 3,5 years now and it happened..... At the moment I'm utterly satisfied with the composition of my little collection..... I've been scanning the Dutch and German watchfora for new additions, but I simply can't find anything useful to add since my Pellikaan Flying Dutchman II arrived last Saturday.

    At this moment I'm contemplating if I should pick up a new hobby or if I should try to unlock a well guarded vault of interesting offerings: "the TZ UK Sales Corner".... To merely see the offerings I need about 50 posts here...... To offer stuff I need 250 posts.........

    This is the first one......

    Here a selection of what's around my wrist

    IMG_1207.JPG



    Oh well,.... Here's all of them

    Welcome to the forum. Enjoy browsing and contributing. Nice collection you have there. I'm partial to some of the Ball watches having seen them in an AD recently so good to see one "in the wild" so to speak.

    Thank you! The Ball was the watch I was the most positively surpised about in 2015. It's the closest i will come to a dress watch. Recently tried a seiko sdgm but i quickly sold that one.... Stunning piece, but not for my wrist.

    Nice mix, and as you have a Panerai in there you can be considered a true collector, man of taste and a gentleman.

    Thank you so much for your kind words..... I humbly must admit that I practiced at first with a Ray Knight

    IMG_0331.JPG

    When I sold that one it immediately hurt, so I promptly bought this one from the Far East

    The 111 was added earlier this year.

    Welcome from a mostly-lurking type ! Great site this, i've learned loads from reading various sub forums etc. Say goodbye to your spare cash 👍

    Oh and lovely collection.

    Hello & welcome, some nice watches in your collection already - speedy, 111 and the Tudors etc

    Can I ask who the maker of the tan vintage style strap on the left side of your collection pic is?

    The Strap was made by Remy Beijer from 7t2 straps , I can really recommend him.

    Thanks everybody... Especially on the compliments on the straps. I'm really getting in to those. I'm still looking for a good and reasonably priced buckle supplier..... I will scroll the forum but Ideas are appreciated.

    Because i, wich i didn't expect, got quite a lot of positieve feedback on my straps, i show today the new strap that was delivered to me by a young strap maker from the Netherlands.

    IMG_1340.JPG

    I'm quite happy with the quality.

    And more straps on their way.....
