Best Buy for 2023.
I have started the process of being minimalist by reducing the number of shoes and clothes and other collectibles that I have at home as part of my 斷捨離。I have also actively reducing my non core watches. For 2024, I hope to reduce it to 4 watches only for the next year and the criteria is to keep the same number of watches.
I have bought 17 watches for 2023 averaging 1.4 watches per month. 2023 has been an interesting year for my vintage watch collection and my favorites are the following:
Rolex ref 18239b
Rolex ref 3599 hooded bubbleback
Rolex ref 18038 Day date with Chinese Calendars
Rolex ref 1625 in 18k gold
Rolex ref 6103 semi Bubbleback
Rolex GMT Master II ref 116710LN Green Arrow from 2011
Traded a Rolex 1601 and 1503 plus cash top up for the Rolex ref 116523 Daytona
Vintage Omega 38mm Seamaster made for North Korean Kim II Sung
IWC ref 811AD Cal 8541 in rare green marble dial

Key Direction for 2024:
2023 is coming to an end and I have started to reflect my key direction for 2024. For 2023, I have expanded my watch collections to include many other brands.
