In 2022 I'll probably shake a few more watches I don't wear that much and focus on a few 'affordable' grails, if that makes sense. No dark lords or golden 1158 Carreras but a sub 5513 maxi has long been on my list and I'm circling one at the moment. Apart from that a cool vintage dress watch would be a nice addition. 18k solid yellow gold sounds about right.
Of all my 2021 purchases none had the top spot on my list as they were deemed too expensive or I was hunting something specific. I love and hate how this hobby throws opportunities at you that you simply can't pass up.
This year I started to appreciate (a very small fraction of) '90s TAG Heuer. Rob's endless stream of these watches finally struck a chord with me. I bought two series 2000, they didn't break the bank and especially the blue one I enjoy wearing very much. I don't expect I'll be going any further down that rabbit hole but who knows what the fedex guy turns up with.

90s TAG is awesome.

I was about to post that I probably won't be buying any TH watches in 2022, after buying the bb58 and night diver in 2021 my watch fund is fairly empty and there's nothing TH that I really want...then @kappa_md posted this:

Addicted sounds so negative. 'Engaged' or 'commited' are better ones

Ha ha, yes Committed is much more positive!

Thanks guys, pretty sure it has the same movement as my Link Searacer... regatta chronograph with a ten minute countdown. Super cool dial too I think.

Congrats! 👍 It looks in very good condition. An unusual dial, and with very corporate colours 😀

Thanks Albert. I know it's a bit on the gaudy side and not everyone is gonna like it. But I just love things that are out of the ordinary... pity they don't make the black sailcloth strap or the red velcro strap anymore but never mind.
