Like many watch enthusiasts, I have been flipping watches for a while. But just out of curiosity, let's examine some of the more memorable watches that I have flipped since the start of this blog in 2013 :
1) 2007 Seiko Perpetual Calendar (Out of warranty);
2) 2012 Oris Artelier Date (Out of warranty);
3) 2013 Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph Calibre 16 (Wristwatch Annual 2013) (Under warranty);

The monies from the sale of the above watches went towards the purchases of some interesting pieces. Amongst them were the following :
1) 1972 Rolex Datejust vintage;
2) 2005 Tag Heuer Kirium Ti5;
3) 2013 Tudor Pelagos;
4) 2014 Edox Les Vauberts;
5) 2014 Seiko SKX009JI Pepsi;
6) 2014 Ball Hydrocarbon "Mad Cow".
There were some other watches purchased as gifts for family and friends, but these don't count as they were not really for my own consumption.
And since the start of this blog, daily accumulated readership has crossed the 14,443 threshold and hopefully would be increasing still.
It shall be interesting to see where this journey continues from hereon. Here's wishing that all of us wear our watches in good health!
My Dad used to be a watchsmith- and I grew up watching him taking watches apart for servicing and repair works, before re-assembling all the tiny parts into fully-working items of marvel again. It's no surprise then that I was intrique into the world of watches since a young age. P/S : This is a watch site from an enthusiast to fellow enthusiasts, so you won't be bothered by adverts here. Just pure watch-reading fun, if you're into this. Enjoy the ride...
