Just looked back on my PMs. This is how his collection stood in Feb 2021, and he was definitely going to be getting the teal which was rumoured at the time, I know that. And he had plans to get the panda too if one was made. Hope he's OK.

·That's a Year and 4 months ago. That's why I don't know if he got the last two.

·OK . . . great idea . . . I'll play . . .
1. Hodinkee Skipperrera -- to me the Glass Box crystal gives the watches a whimsical look, and the Skipper is a whimsical watch . . . fun watch!!
2. Fragment -- love the original; love the Fujiwara touches . . . perfect!! Recent sales above the $10K level suggest that others agree
3. 60th Anniversary Panda -- great version of a great heritage model!!
4. 160th Silver -- as pure as the driven snow
5. Dato -- fun watch; love the combination of original elements and well-considered changes
6. Blue Dreamer -- will always live in the shadow of the Skipperrera; tough to be in the class of 2017
7. Red -- for when you feel like wearing a red watch
8. Green -- for when you feel like wearing a green watch
9. Montreal -- the Montreal dial belongs in the Montreal case . . . period!!
10. Telemeter -- it's just not as good as the others, to my eye

·I just wished the Fujiwara Fragment Carrera kept it clean and placed all logos and branding at the back just like what Hodinkee or Revolution did. It’s the only thing making me put it in last place 🤔 I just can’t unsee it..
If money and market value are the top priorities, Skipper and Fujiwara would be on top 😗
And I would have snatched a Glassbox Montreal only if TH just decided to name it Montreal (even in a Carrera case, just like the Skipper) 😉

·Unfortunately, don't have a group picture of all of them. Closest one is this, as they are in a bank vault. Pandas not pictured (Telemeter & 2-60s)
The Montreal isn't that popular on this forum. But I have a feeling it has the potential to develop a following in time. Just as the Paul Newman Rolex Daytona was very unpopular when initially sold (before it was known as the Paul Newman).
The two were both somewhat dismissed in favor of their more mainstream counterparts. It will be interesting to see how all these Carreras are viewed 10 years from now.

·That blue racing rally strap on your Montreal is how that watch should've come. Looks awesome!

·OK, are you ready for some results in the Glassbox F1 world championship? I think most of us have given their "race result" now.
Hardly surprising that our clear championship winner is the King Panda. But it was given a good challenge by the Skipper and the Ice King.
Full results below. (I've kept Rob's separate since he doesn't own a Glassbox Carrera, but it doesn't change the result a great deal although it did switch the Ice King into second place from the Skipper):

Leaving aside the rather idiotic name, this is the best explanation I can come up with:
The yellow lume on the hands is just too much… If it had hands with normal white lume, it would look way better! Wondering if anyone here could photoshop that. Otherwise I can ask for that in a dedicated thread on Uhrforum.
