Um, you're forgetting the Datejust and the Reissue Carrera. I am happy to consider the Squale my "beater". Possibly thinking that I don't need two Carreras, though.

It did seem like you had two of everything... nothing wrong with that, but in an 8 piece collection it's a bit limiting. At least you wont have two 36mm Rolexes. Soon.

I think the difference is that I am scum since I have less money than you. But you enjoy your Porsche and them 22 watches bruh 🙄

Just gotta get tax-exempt status for the Church of Silver Dials, then you’ll be set! 😁

I had a mental limit of 10, and now feel VERY uncomfortable at 14. I would love to get back down to 10, but don't see how that's ever going to happen! Ha!

I could probably do with 10 but there’s almost always something fun coming out. So I just stick to whether something is different enough from what I’ve already got for me to wear it. But I am definitely slowing down some

I was sitting at 10 for a long time, and then a really nice example of a Pogue became available and I had to jump on it... and the proverbial dam broke! LOL

I might try to purchase the Ice King strap for the Panda, though. I'll have to hunt down photos of that combo.
I tried the croc, it's just ok for me. I much prefer the racing rally style that comes with the Panda.

I didn’t really like the panda, passed on two, then I did like it, bought one, quite liked it, handled a skipper, hated the panda, ignored it for a while, in love with it now. Weird creature, and I don’t mean the panda.
Even @Anthony.R, who bought the Skipper you handled, ended up still loving the Panda more.

All I need is my Panda, my C11 McQueen, my NTTD Seamaster, and I'd be content with a 3 watch collection. Oh wait, I still need my Sub, my BB58, my Navitimer, my Speedmaster etc. etc. 🤦😁

Yep I'm not shy to say I LOVE THE PANDA THE BEST.

It's still moving forward. From what I've heard, probably won't be ready until later in the year.

I've tried a few different options now. But I'm back on the black rally (deployant version). As seems to happen with all of the Carreras I've owned, going right back to my first, the CV2113, and second, the JH80th. Tag really do a great Carrera rally strap.

What's the part number for the black rally deployant version? I'm assuming "Heuer" branded?

FC5049 (Heuer branded 18mm clasp to accept 3mm thickness strap)
FC6353 (Black 19mm tapering to 18mm rally strap) OR FC6350 (Black 19mm tapering to 18mm rally strap with blue stitch)

The strap is lovely but I find the deployant too large for this style of watch. I also got the deployant and Rally strap but now I actually prefer the standard pin buckle.
