2022 was a very quiet one for me bar 1 monumental incoming. A watch i had been lusting and waiting for over 4 years. The FP Journe Chronometre Optimum Black Label.

Actually on reflection it has to be this.

My only purchase in 2022 (and my first TZ f2f!). Titanium 2231.50
Matching pair or traded the old one?

Resisted a purchase all year until unexpectedly got called for the pelagos 39. A firm favourite now.
Another submersible here
Only made two purchases in 2022 as keeping money back for the prices to collapse to rock-bottom as the global recession really kicks-in and we see distress sales of PP, VC, AP to cover margin calls.
Black Bay Bronze Bucherer 43mm
Laco Fliegeruhr 42mm to complement my Fortis Flieger B-Uhr - swapped on black Laco straps to both.

This for me, aside from the fact it needs all new PVD NATO straps, of which there are not that many premium ones….I still love it.
Was hard to beat the 2 DA36/7 damaskos but his nailed it.

Try an EO Black Ops, Matt. It works really well

Just the one(!) acquisition this year, but a good one!
Hard choice for me but at a push I think I’d go with this one.

This one.

Early gift for my 50th next year. Incredible wrist presence and movement complication, and I love a two-tone watch!
Merry Xmas you filthy animals!
Definitely this

I love that!The ex-Jean-Loup Chrétien space-flown prototype Yema Spationaute III, which he wore for the 1988 Aragatz mission to Mir.
You would think anyone who had obtained a Heuer 1550SG in 2022 would state that as their favourite acquisition of the year, but I can't help thinking the titanium Helm Vanuatu pips it, at least in the wearability stakes.
Either way, it wasn't a bad year.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
That is one of my favourites i’v seen pass by this year. Fantastic!Definitely this

Bought and sold too many this year.
Had opportunity to try both Cartier and IWC.
Both cracking watches.
But my favourite has to be this one.

Only bought two this year, FXD and PAM 117, and it is a close call. The FXD Is by far the more worn, holidays, watersports with the kids etc, but the 177 wins the contest.

Probably for me seiko sla037
Man alive. That’s a fine watch, not showing up on their website anymore. Bugger.It’s between the Wempe and a Seiko SPB143. I did regretfully sell the Seiko but am now after another one, so I’ll post the Wempe which I still have.

I think it was discontinued then brought back and the page has a few broken links but it's here

That oq is stunning. They are just the 70’s encapsulatedJust 3 added to the collection this year. The Oysterquartz is the favourite.

Only a couple of new ones this year. But this O&J has really caught my imagination...
this one for me, for my 40th birthday, the aqcuisition of a cool property and a few more nice changes for 2022, a very good year overall!

Three purchases this year for me. Explorer 1, BB58 and Submariner
This is my favourite
Might well be a little less next year
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
My only purchase this year except for an Apple Watch. Even if I’d bought 10 this year I’d probably still pick the Pelagos… My first Erikas strap too.
Just in case you've not noticed, that one is available now on SC.
Very quite year for me only bought one from a wtb sub 41mm
Must admit i find it much better than the 14060m
Its a lovely watch to wear

This one.
After 72hours on my wrist, + 3 sec in total.
This beauty. Might well challenge the SBGX209 as the most perfect HAQ in existence:)
One of many purchased this year and the one I'm wearing right now so it wins!

Lovely. Was this bought in the UK? I thought they only did this Eichi II over here.
This one for me
Been on my wrist for over a week now!!
Many thanks. This is a JDM model - GCAX041 - with the 8J movement. I know of one other example in the UK.
Having said that, Seiko U.K. fully supports the watch, including g the returning shipping to Japan for service.
I’m a failure!
Didn’t buy a single watch!
Yes, quite mad to sell that one. Sorry to rub it in!

Definitely the highlight has been the acquisition of Blueboy1's 1970 Ollech & Wajs Caribbean 1000. I absolutely love it.
Now that was a worthwhile Google! Gorgeous watch.
Got to be my CWC. I know it’s not historically correct being an auto plus date but it has made me appreciate that I can enjoy a basic (and relatively cheap) utilitarian watch just as much as my slightly blingy offerings.
Room in my collection for both types but I’m reaching for this and my newly acquired Hamilton Khaki Field Auto far more than anything else at the minute, funny old hobby.

A bunch of purchases in 2022 from Moser to Rolexes to Tudors and MAD1 but this one somehow has been most pleasing
I'm collecting an SNR031 tomorrow which is the black version of this. Can't wait.
